Februar), l8go New Star Lamp Burner.* In the accompanying illustration it will be seenthat the burner is provided with an automaticextinguisher, which puts out the light completelywhen the wick is turned down below the mouthof the wick-tube, thus saving all risk of dangerfrom blowing out a kerosene lamp, and also theannoyance of the consequent unpleasant odor,besides having the advantage of keeping thewick level and even. The burner is provided with a superior hand-burnished cone, thus producing a large andbeautiful flame. It appears to be admirably adapted for streetrailway cars, where a kerosene lamp is used, andis a perfectly safe burner to use. George B. Kerper Resig
