more than two years, and

light known. The Machine 
is simple in its construction, 
easily managed, requiring 
no artificial heat, and free 
from all danger of explosion.

skill in its management than 
an ordinary lamp. It oper¬ 
ates uniformly well in all 
temperatures and there is no 
limit to the supply of the 
material used at low rates

emits no offensive odor, is 
perfectly cleanly. The Ma¬ 
chine is neat in its appear¬ 
ance, and may be located in

ent room, occupying but a 
few feet of space. It may be 
seen in operation in our

in use in his dwelling during 
the past year and can certi¬ 
fy to its perfect operation
