Book excerpt: Excerpt from Sixty-First Annual Report of the Board of Directors of the Mercantile Library Company of Philadelphia, January 1884 On account of the insufficient supply of gas to the building, we have been on the lookout for some means of improving the light in our rooms. As an experiment, we have placed in the lower reading room a number of oil lamps, in which the best head-light oil will be used. The light is quite steady and clear, and appears to give general satisfaction, and is likely to result in a saving of expense.
