Nature through voleanic and meteor disturbances, through flashes of lightning, was trying to demonstrate to man its power to crea'e light in the midst of darkness. Fire was discovered, and man found he could prolong the day with the aid of firebrands, camn fires, torches. The earliest lamps of which we have record were saucer shaped objects with a shallow projecting spout which held the wick. A hole in the center of this disc-lik- e lamp held a small quantity of oil. So far as is known, there was no radical development toward better lighting until 1783 A. D., when Leger of Paris devised a flat ribbon wick and burner. Not long after, Ami Argand of Paris, perfected a glass chimney which, together with his new improved type of circular wick and burner, produced illumination far superior to anything ever before seen. Then in 1880, Auer von Welsbach, a German, developed a burner, in which the combination of a mixture of air and gas or vapor, heated to incandescence mantle, composed of tooria and i d left-centri- st WXU Service. y 42 Portraits on Stamp Peter Hies of Salgotarjan, Hungary, has drawn 42 colored portraits of distinguished men and women on one postage stamp.
