HOW TO AVOID POOR LIGHTS.
OH Not Always to DlHinr—Direction*
J r or Carr of liatiip*.
Many of o ir people aro strongly of
the opinion that nu oil that falls below
the limits proscribed by law is a poor
oil, in the senso that it will not give a
gootl light. Thin is incorrect; an unsafe
oil need not necessarily bo a poor llln-
mimuit, and generally is not. Many
have a poor light because of lack of care
and attention to their lumps and wicks.
Tho following points should bo caro-
fuly heeded by those who would get
the best results from tlioir lumps:
1. Uso a good wick, tho open woven
wick, known as tho '‘American wick."
is excellout. Do not use too long tt
wick; cut it only a fow inches longer
than is necessary to reach tho bottom
of the lamp. Do not have a great coll
of wick in tho lamp.
2. In adjusting a now wiolt, lit It to
tho burner, soak tho wiok in oil, light
tho wick, let the lamp burn a few mill-
utos, then blow it oat and trim your
wick by moving tho linger over tho
charred part evonly and Binoothly in
one direction only. Uopoat until tha
surface feels smooth and evou; this is
always the host plan to pursue In trim¬
ming the wick. Do not uso the shears,
unless perhaps to cut off long and un¬
even threads at tho start. Always trim
tho wick in this way after oaoli night’s
uso.
8 . Itomenibor that dirt will got Into
the oil, little particles that perhaps yea
can not soe, and this lioatiiiff dirt will
gradually accumulate in tho wiok which
acts as a Alter to hold back tho dirt as
tho oil ascends tha wick. After a time
this dirt chokes up tho pores or iutor-
b tiros in tho wick, and partially do*
•troys its power of capillarity. Thau
tho light begins to fall because tho oil
cannot get to it. 80 don't ecououtizo
on wicks; they nro much cheaper than
eyesight. Put in a now ono whan
needed. Don’t pin or sow a pieco of
cloth, stocking or red flauuol on tho end
of your wick to oko out its oxistenco,
and at the samo time expect to got good
light.
4. llomomber that occasionally, say
onco in 10 days, or whenever noodod,
tho dirty, dreggy oil in tho bottom
tihould be thrown out. It may be saved,
If deslrod, by Altering it through a lino
piece of cotton cloth. Then rinso out
the lamp with some clear bright oil.
Don’t cloau the inside of your lamp
with water; if you do your lamp will
probably givo a poor light when yon
next uso it, sputter uud give you
trouble.
C. Occasionally, say onco in 10 days,
or when yon see it is ueodod, give tho
burner a thorough cleaning. Boil it
with hot water and soda so as to get
out all greasy dirt, and open up tho afr
passages. Then dry it thoroughly in
the sun ot over the stove beforo using.
6. Don’t buy red oil; it never gives as
good a light its the same quantity of oil
without tho red coloring matter.
If you attond carefully to all these
rule* and still got poor light, you may
abuse tha oil companies, but not before.
In all the cases of puor light and bad
oil I have so far investigated the trouble
must have been due to neglect of some
of tho above simple precautions, which
ought to bo adopted in ovory well regu¬
lated household. Romember that the
state will nee to it that no unsafe oil is
furnished you, and because a lamp
gives a poor light it is no evidence that
the oil is unsafe, in the recent oil in¬
vestigation 1 examined some oils which
were undoubtedly unsafe and below the
law, but yet when I burned them day
after day in a properly cared for lamp,
no fault could bo found with the light
they gave. John M.. McOANtir.KKs,
Htato Chemist.
