H. J. LITTLE. I’loprietor. HARD TO HEAT THE INCANDESCENT GAS BURNER! THE BRILLIANT STEADY SOFT LIGHT. HINTS FOR ITS CARE. 1. If nn incandescent burner is not giving a good light, the cause is generally due either to same being dirty or to improper regulation. 2. —Should the burner roar or the mantle not be fully incandescent, this usually ran be rectified by giving same a little more gas, or less air, or by general re-adjustment ol the gas and air regulators. 3. AYlien the hunter is correctly adjusted. the mantle should give a clear, steady and brilliant light, and the burner free from noise. A very slight movement of the air adjuster will usually remedy the gurgling or roaring noise frequently met with. .1. —it is advisable to adjust the gas and air regulators prior to putting the mantle on; to he correct the flame should be as blue as possible, and the centre of same showing a distinct, conical shape of a green tinted colour. A luminous flame denotes at once imperfect regulation. •a.- No flame should lie seen outside the mantle.
