Lamp ChiInneys.

A German firm makes a lamp in
which there is a bulb at the upper in
stead Of the lower part, and in which
the upper rim is cut obliquely. This.
it is said, makes it much safer to blow
a lamp out, and the flame is taller and
steadier, so that the light is improved.
The greater safety in blowing out will
of course depend upon the blower
blowing from the high part Of the
slanting top.
