Because it is a pure white light. Because the coniodal glasses resist heat and are proof against fracture. Because it has no dampers or chimney lengtheners, or other extraneous gear which are evils to be eschewed. Because lanternists, by experience, are finding its true value. Because it gives a good 12 to 14 feet disc unparalleled, therefore will largely take the place of limelight and thus save the risk and danger of gas explosions.
