PATENT SAFETY POWDER MAGAZINE LAMP.-Designed by request of the Home Office to burn in gunpowder magazines and other dangerous places in perfect safety, and to exclude the powder which is found floating in magazines and stores in the form of fine dust, which in other lamps collects inside, and is sure, when much is collected, to explode.

The supply and exit air passages are under and over a series of screens, that is to say, air to support combustion enters the lamp under an inverted outer ledge and then passes through the holes made in the casing to a narrow space formed by an inner lining, so that the air must first pass up to reach the holes in the casing, then down the inner space, and finally up a narrow space between. The top part of the lamp is constructed on substantially the same principle, that is, the exit air passages are made zig-zag; but in case they should ever become clogged with soot, two out of three parts which form the passages are hinged to the casing, and are secured by a spring lock, so that when these parts are unbolted they can be turned back on their hinges and easily cleared of any soot that may have become deposited therein. The bottom and sides of the lamp are immoveable, and the burner is dropped in through the top of the lamp, which is secured with a spring lock as already mentioned. Every detail of the outer casing has been carefully considered, and there are no projecting parts where dust can settle and accumulate. The lamp has a bull's eye lens in front; the side lights are glazed with glass oneeighth of an inch thick, protected by strong copper wire. The handle moves on a pivot. The burner is a 2-inch flat wick and a reflector is added to increase the brilliancy. The lamp and lantern is made of copper, bright tin, or tin japanned. The highest temperature ever observed on the outside of the lantern has been 126°, the exploding temperature of gunpowder being 600°. Adopted by the Government, Thames Conservancy, &c.
