Bungalow.
THE problem of efficient lighting with low fuel cost for the residents of the Pacific Islands is claimed to have been solved by the Tilley Lamp Co., Hendon, London. These lamps burn ordinary kerosene under pressure and give a white, steady light of 300 c.p. at the cost of Id. for 6 hours. They are insect proof, simple in use, and require no tools— each part, big or small, is easily removed by the fingers.
The Tilley table lamp is finished throughout in lacquered brass. Its brilliant light shows a room to the best advantage and enables one to read, sew, etc., without eyestrain. It can be carried from room to room with absolute safety and will burn steadily without hissing noise when standing in a draughty place in the bungalow.
The Tilley storm lantern is strongly made of stout brass with no parts to rust, corrode or get out of order. It is invaluable for all work outdoors after dark in connection with plantation work, building, etc., as it burns steadily, unaffected by weather however severe.
It is equally useful indoors and may be used with complete safety in copra sheds, boat houses, workshops, etc.
All Tilley lamps and lanterns can be ob tained throughout the South Seas from the branches of Burns, Philp & Co., Ltd., Burns Philp (South Sea) Co., Ltd., and W. Kopsen & Co., Ltd., Clarence Street, Sydney.—*
