Description: |
| Abstract:
The liquids that I usually employ are, alcohol and spirits of turpentine which two liquids I combine together in such a way that the alcohol will be saturated with the spirits of turpentine so as to carbonate the same and cause it to burn with brilliancy.
Claim:
I am aware that I am not the discoverer of the simple fact that the addition of spirits of turpentine or other essential oils to alcohol will cause it to burn with increased brilliancy, but I claim to be the discoverer of the applicability of this combined material and of others possessing analogous properties as a substitute for oil in common lamps, and the first who has applied the same, having been enabled so to do by my experiments upon the proper combining proportions according to the strength of the alcohol. |
