AMERICAN
Carried Wherever Lanterns Arc Used, All
Over the World.

Over the World.
American lanterns are exported to all the
countries OF the world where lanterns are used.
Many are sent TO South Africa and to South
America. to Australia and New Zealand, and
some are sold in Asia. Few. proportionately.
are sent to Europe.
Kerosene oil is now commonly burned In
lanterns all over the world. There are no
lanterns made nowadays for candles only. but
there are exported TO South America some lam
terms made 80 that either candles or oil may be
burned in them, These are provided with a
and socket, which may be set down into the
oil reservoir. the wick holder having been re-
moved. By removing the candle socket and
scrowing in the wick holder the, lantern
is made ready to burn oil Excepting
uses. substantially all the lanterns made
nowadays are Of the Kind known as tubular I,
first introduced about thirty years ago. and
now made III various notifications as TO detail,
the tubular part OF the lantern being designed
with II view TO producing better combustion
and q brighter light. The lanterns made for
ordinary uses are produced In about forty
styles.
The American lanterns are the lightest, the
sightliest IN appearance and the best adapted
TO their use. and they are sold cheaper than
lanterns OF equal quality produced else n
There are large establishments in this country
making lanterns only. II is probable that more
lanterns are now exported from this country
than from either England or Germany. and the
exports Of American lanterns are increasing.

~ TbCupcu OhnuEI
In a large double tank on the ground floor
tier OF the salt water side OF the Aquarium
there are two or three sharks and q number OF
pilot fish. These. like the fishes in all the
tanks. are fed from a platform built along the
rear OF the tanks close to them and at such a
height as to bring the upper part of the body of
a man standing upon 1t up to a convenient
height above the tanks edge. Pilot fishes are
very sensitive. and they are also good jumpers.
When the sharks and pilot fishes in the double
tank were being fed the other day one OF the
pilot fishes. q specimen about eight inches In
length. jumped out OF the tank and clean over
