LITTLE

MONITOR,

BURNS COAL OR PETROLEUM OIL

upon an ENTIRELY

NEW PRINCIPLE,

As a gas, and without a chimney. It is the first and only complete success.

It consists in attaching to any common fluid lamp tube a cylinder about 1 1/2 inches in length, by half an inch in diameter, made of perforated tin, connected by a very simple contrivance, so that it turns back for lighting, and regulates the flame. A steady stream of gas is is emitted from the top of the perforated cone about two inches long, which will bear as much wind and agitation as the street gas, and far more than any light ever before attached to a HAND LAMP. The light is of the same brilliancy as that of the ordinary coal gas, and emits no more odor or smoke when lighted.

It is well known that heretofore, to produce without a chimney any considerable light from these oils, and without any unpleasaant odor, has baffled the inventive genius of the age. This burner can be at once regulated for a night lamp or sick chamber, so as to burn twelve hours and not consume HALF A TABLESPOONFUL OF OIL. These, then, are its characteristics:

1 — It gives three times the light of any other round tube wick lamp.

2 — It will bear carrying round the house, up stairs and down. In the most rapid manner.

3 — There are no chimneys broken, as none are used.

4 — It is all right, and no family will long be without one.

For sale, to all persons owning rights, by
