A NEW ILLUMINANT. IN no branches of industry has greater progress been made during the last decade than in the arts and sciences appertaining to the production and supply of artificial illumination. Eleotrioity, althongh it has been used for lighting purposes as far back as five-and-twenty years ago, has only come into public use during the last ten years. But although tho expense and uncertainty of this means of lighting has militated against its general adoption, yet it has given a wonderful impetus to tho various branches of gas and oil illumination, and instead of tho miserable flickering lights we were formerly compolled to put up with, we have both gas and oil-lamps which rival tho electric light in brilliancy. Illuminating by j means of oil must necessarily hold its placo whero gas is not available, but even in the latter case, a largo number of people prefer oil to gas in point both of economy and health. Great improvements havo been made in oil-lamps, and every effort has beon made to produce improved oils. Our readers will bo interested and pleased to learn that a now illuminating oil has just been put on the market, which bids fair to supersede the ordinary kerosene entirely. It is known by the name of " Luxene," and is absolutely white in colour. It is an flluminant of the highest teat, is absolutely safe, is froe from smell when burning, and is more lasting, and therefore more economical than ordinary kerosenes. We cannot too strongly warn consumers against the false economy and danger of using cheap kerosenes, which are at any time liable to explosions ; nor can we too Btrongly urge the use of a good oil, and in this connection it seems to* us that purchasers of " Liueene " will havo no causo for regret.
