yention which, when introduced. cannot
help but revolutionize tho methods OF
heating cook and other stoves. IL is

Of this burner is that common kerosene
oil is converted into gas; tho oil is
placed in large can. which may be
stationed dozen or 100 feet away from
tho stove. The oil ia carried through
