Argand, a Swiss Chemist, introduced a glass = chimney and burner with a circular wick, which supplied ===. oxygen to the flame and prevented smoke. One of Argand's = was holding a'--.bottle over the flame* when the = bottom of the bottle fell put. He dropped the hot bottle -^^ over- the burner and a better and steadier light was the result. = .
