Said part F is then replaced on the receptacle and lamp E lighted. By the heat generated by said lamp, an upward (low of heated air is obtained in cylinder A, and between said lamp and that part of wick B which extends above the upper edge of said cylinder A. A [low of air is also produced into the shade H, be tween wick B and said shade. said air flow on lag between the upper edge of water receptacle A and cover F, F. as indicated by a rows X, X, and over the water in the receptacle. \rVater being contained in wick B. by capillary attraction from the water in too receptacle A, and said wick being wnrme by said lamp, said water is vaporized. and along with the heated air flowing into said shade ii. is discharged therefrom at the upper end thereof.

Said fan L performs no function in the operation of the device, otherthan to give evidence thereof, as stated. The quan tity of water vaporized from water receptacle A in a given time is varied by a varr ation in size of lamp E, and I have found. in practice. from one half pint to a pint of water, as desired, may be vaporized in a given time by using lamps of varying sizes. An ordinary 110 volt lam'p E, may be used, and the in-floiving and-out-flowing conduct ors maybeattaehed in the ordinary way to a lamp socket. In the opera'ti'onof the device the shade H is illumined by the lamp E.
