an air-and-vapour-mixing-tube formed of non-resonant
materials substantially as described. (31.) The combination
of the feeding-funnel, the loose plunger normally closing the
discharge-orifice of said funnel, and the spring clip on the
funnel, which holds said plunger in such normal position of
closing, substantially as described. (32.) In a vapour-burn-
ing apparatus, the combination of the vapour-burner and
connections, the incandescent mantle therefor, the vapour-
ising tube above the mantle, the alcohol-cup beside the
burner, and the gauze shield which surrounds said cup
