Would you rather buy lamp.
chimneys, one a week the year
round, or one that lasts till some
accident breaks it?
Common glass may break or
not the minute you light your
lamp; if not, the first draft may
break it; if not, it may break
from a mere whim.
Tough glass chimneys, Mac
beth's Pearl-top" or Pearl
glass" almost never break from
heat, not one in a hundred.
Where can you get it? and
what does it cost2
Your dealer knows where and
how much. 1t costs more than
common glass; and may be, he
thinks tough glass isn't good for
his business.

the character Of the questions:

the iire-test. should be the criterion for
oil inspection. and that the flashing point
