American Lamps In Paris.

Tho terrible use made by the Com
munards of 1871 of petroleum for con-
ha2ration purposes produced such an
impression on the French mind that peo-
pie recoiled even Mt the mention of
kerosene. So the American kerosene
lamps, which were then just beginning
to get "a foothold in France, were rcle-
gated 10 the limbo of dangerous inno-
vations. Then came the exhibitions of
1873 and 1889, with our particularly
good show Of new, improved and ar
tistic lamps. The memories of 1871 were
quickly forgotten, and today the use of
candles and the old pump lamps -
gas has never beon general means of
domestic lighting in France-has gone
down before the American substitute,
which has not only invaded the Paris.
ian bedroom and parlor, but has even
found favor in the chateaux along the
Loire and has worked its way into the
plain homes Of the remotest villages
Ono Of tho American lamp exhibitors
received So many orders during the ex-
hibition Of 1889 that he established u
branch store in the best part of COM
mercial Paris. where he has been doing
