Half Reflector Shades.

One of the most popular shades
designed for concentrating the main
body Of the light from an incan-
descent lamp in any particular di-
rection, is newly patented green
and white porcelain half globe. The
two sheets Of porcelain are flashed
together, forming, apparently,
solid piece Of material, the outside
of which is green and the inside
white. The white surface has great
rejecting power, while the green
breaks the intensity of the light and
tempers it agreeably to the eye.
The advantage of this shade is that
it permits of the instant adjustment
of the lamp, SO as to give light of
soft and subdued tone, or of the ut
most briliiancy. One useful modif-
cation of this improved appliance is
desk light, which, when not in use,
slides into the center pigeon hole Of
an ordinary desk. When it is
wanted the mere act of drawing it
out of its resting place turns on the
current. The desk cannot be shut
until the lamp has been pushed back
into the pigeophole, and the act of
returning it breaks the circuit, and
SO puts out the light. The half
shade throws the light downward,
and distributes it on the desk just
where it is Observation-Disclosures
