New Lamp Needed.

Would you believe that, with all of the varied patterns of lamps offered for sale, the ideal lamp has not yet been invented? Yet that is the fact, according to the statement of a manufacturer and dealer in lamps. He says he has hundreds of lamps intended for house use, and that not one of them fills the functions of light giving and manageableness to the degree it should. “Our moet easily managed lamps,” he says, “do not give adequate light, and the beautiful burners that we sell require a poet graduate course in lamps in order to properly care for them. These lamps are simply nuisances when you attempt to fill them and the worst sort of patience destroying vexations when you have to renew the wicks. They are entirely too complicated. I have called inventors’ attention to these too manifest defect*, and they appear to be unable to remedy them.”--N. Y. Herald.
