When not busy cleaning your chain . . .

LAMP LORE.

Do These Things and Your Light Will Shine Dazzlingly

Lamp wicks should have the charred part rubbed off with a rag kept for
that purpose, They should very seldom be cut. They should not be used
so long that the webbing becomes tight and non-porous.

Lamps should be kept filled with oil. It is bad for the wick and
burner when the oil left over from one evening's use is made to do
duty a second time.

The tank should be filled again.

About once a month the wick should be removed, the burners unscrewed
and boiled in a little water in which common washing soda has been
dissolved.

This will remove the almost imperceptible coating of dust and grease
that forms on them.

Hmm - nothing about running the AA's through a battery 'exerciser'.
