plank, B, by two or more cords, F. Into the pan, C, some coal-tar or 
molasses, or other suitable material, is poured so as to a little more than 
cover the bottom thereof. 
11 The Binldcy Lamp.—^lv. J. N. 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 
plate which 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 lam]), with or without chimney, 
is placed in the lantern, and the pan is half tilled with water and a 
little kerosene on top, or with soap-suds or molasses, &c."
