THE AMERICAN BEE-KEEPER. 



Sepii'inber 



AMERICAN LAMPS IN PARIS. 



Tlie terrible use made by the Commu- 

 nards of 1871 of petroleum for conflagrative 

 purposes produced such an impression on 

 the French mind that people recoiled even 

 at the mention of kerosene. So the Ameri- 

 crn kerosene lamps, which were then just 

 beginning to get a foothold in Fi'ance, were 

 relegated to the limbo of dangerous innova- 

 tions" Then came the Exhibitions of 1878 

 and 1889, witii our particularly good show 

 of new, improved, artistic lamps. The mem- 

 ories of 1871 were (jnickiy forgotten, and 

 today the use of candles and the old ' pump 

 lamps " — gas has never been a general 

 means of domestic lighting in France — lias 

 gone down before the American substitute, 

 which has not only invaded the Parisian 

 bedroom and parlor, but has even found fa- 

 vor in the chateaux along the Loire and has 

 worked its way into the plain homes of the 

 remotest villages. One of the American 

 lamp exhibitors received so many orders 

 during the Exhibition of 1889 that he estab- 

 lished a Branch store in the best pprt of 

 commercial Paris, where he has been doing 

 a thriving business ever since. — Theodore
