Th e PA Ni PH E N GOS Has Special 4-inch Condensers — and Front Objectives, transmitting all the Rays of Light to the Screen possible. It is a much mistaken No notion to imagine that 4} inch Condensers and long focus 23 inch diameter Front Lenses give more light on the screen than the others. This is not correct. Broken Glasses. Theoretically or practically, there is Joss of Light, particularly manifest where oil flame is the illuminant. Mr. Hughes’ CHALLENGE (Now of 16 Years’) still holds good to prove that the MARVELLOUS PAMPHENGOS Is the Most Perfect and Finest Oil Lighted Lantern Extant, EASY and SIMPLE to WORK, and Best of all, the most RELIABLE and SAFE. AOLALNOR i TG AEA | WHY IS THE PAMPHENGOS SUPERIOR TO ALL OTHER OILLIGHTED LANTERNS ? — SIMPLY THIS: Because it is not necessary to break up the air currents near the entrance of Lantern, or to place any perforated shield behind the Pamphengos Lamp, which would be an abundance beyond necessity ; but it is sent in full volume direct and within an inch of the top of Wick Tubes, where it is admitted to such a degree of niccty that a pure white light is the result unparalleled in the history of Oil Lanterns. Because it is carefully, substantially, and scientifically constructed, and not made commercially and sold under a variety of nom de plumes. Because the conoidal glasses resist heat and are proof against fracture. Because the flames burn quite steadily, and are not affected by vibration. Because it has no dampers or chimney lengtheners, which are evils to be eschewed. Have you ever ventured to use a damper in a Lantern Lamp-chimney ? The French first introduced it in their unacientifically constructed lamps, but what a damper it was to the apirits of those who ventured to use it. It is so sad the uninitiated are deceived by superfluous additions, which are really non practical, and therefore quite useless. Because a perfectly constructed lamp requires none of these aids in order to ensure perfect Combustion. But the finest results are obtained by the MARVELLOUS PAMPHENGOS (New Pattern); when once lighted and adjusted will burn quite steadily and free, without smoke or broken glasses, which are great defects so much to be deplored in other lamps. Because lanternists, by expericnce, are finding its true value; and after disappointment and failure with the unscientifically constructed Lamps, are now coming back to their old and valued friend the PAMPHENGOS, which never disappoinis. Do not invest in any other Lantern or Lamp than the MARVELLOUS PAMPHENGOS, if you really want a superb, substantial, and effective instrument.
