Phosphorus is sometimes used for 11 luminating purposes, but the light is rather dim. The method Is as follows, and it is serviceable when means of striking a light are not at band: Take a long and narrow vial of the whitest and clearest glass, put in a piece of phosphorus about the size of a pea, upon which pour some olive oil heated to the boiling point; fill the vial about one-third full and then the vial hermetically. To-use it remove cork and allow the air to enter the vial, and then recork it. The empty space in the bottle will then become luminous, and the light obtained will be equal to that of a dull lamp. As Soom as the light becomes weak (ts seal the | power can be increased by opening the | vial and allowing a fresh supply of alr to enter. In winter it is sometimes necessary to heat the vial between the hands to Increase the fluidity of the oll. Thus prepared the vial may be used for six months. Four Sons of Fame.
