"T/ie Binldey Lamp.—^lv. J. ^JsT. Binkley, of, Columbus, Tex., uses a 

 lamp which I herewith illustrate (Plate LX, Fig. 3). It is essentially 

 the same as the foregoing, and consists, like Garrett's lamp, of a tin 

 l>late wiiich may be rectangular or round, and which is placed on a 

 board nailed to the upper end of a stake or pole. A lantern of the 

 form shown in the figure is soldered to the center of the plate, the cover 

 of which lantern has openings to aid ventilation, and may, when neces- 

 sary, be removed. A common kerosene lamp, with or without chimney, 

 is placed in the lantern, and the pan is half filled with water and a 

 little kerosene on top, or with soap-suds or molasses, &c."
