place in the burner, which is the es-
sential feature Of the invention and
which is made entirely Of glass, all
in n piece. At the top is a bulb,
about one inch in diameter; below
a tube, the lower end Of which

through this tube and through the
centre of the bulb to a small circular
opening in the top of the bulb. When
the wick takes fire the flame COM

which the wick passes. The heat i'm
