The Wenham gas lamp, like all other regenerative gas burners, consumes the gas more completely than ordinary burners. The Wenham lamp can be applied as an effective agent for ventilating the rooms in which they are installed. Recently the Industrial Society of Rouen deputed the President of the Society and Messrs. Poinciu, Lauras, and Coudet to make careful experiment with the lamp, who determined that the lamp, with a reflector, gives vertically an illuminating power of ton candles per cubic foot of gas per hour ; and that, taking the two extremes of the burners experimented with, the consumption per candle power, under the best conditions, is about four times less to-day than it was a few years back—or, in other words, that for the same consumption of gas about four times more light can now be obtained. The Gas Company's office is lighted with this lamp, and will repay a visit between half-past four and five p.m. any afternoon. There is also a large example of this lamp in the reading-room of the Free Library.

Thk Best Disinfkotant in any weather is the Union Oil, Soap, and Candle Company's Carbolic Soap. No household should be without it.
