Be it known that I, Joni. LE1), of Galesburg, countyot' Knox, and State of Illinois, have inventedanew and useful Improvement iuPetroleuni Stoves; and I do hereby declare that the following a full, clear, and exact description of the construction and operation of the same, reference being had'to the annexed drawing-s, inching a part of this specification, in which Fignre l'is top view.- 7

The nature of my invention consists in packing the emiducting'tube with woodoi' :i porous natu'rei a'lsoin usingn. coiled tube for a gas generator, and using the cooking vessel for a radiator. The conducting-tube" is packed with wood of nporous nature, such as elm, lynn, ash, grape-vine, or any other wood 0? :1. porous nature. "The wood is nicely fitted and driven in tight, so that the fluid being used shall pass through the pores of the wood only; this serves a double purpose of preventing the oil from-rushingiuto the gas generntor too fast and preventing nny impurities passing into the gas generator, and whenthewood becomes clogged it can be. very easily replaced with a new piece. The conductingtube should be made so that it can be detached from the gas generator i'or the convenience of replacing thewood. The gas generator is formed of a coiled tube which may have one or more coils, the inside coil always heating the hottest as the gas becomes heated to some extent before reaching the inside coil, thereby evolving gas more readily and perfectly than when passed through a straight pipe. The conducting tuheserves' to conduct the petroleum, kerosene, benzole,'benzine, or gasoline, or anyoiher light oil being used, from a hollow tubethat supports the elevated'tnnk which is in common use. The constant flow of liquid may be shut off by a faucet or any other well-known modes. i

" 'lo useiny invention, turn the Home protector over the-pointwhere the jet of gas flows; thcn'with alighted taper apply heat to the coiled gas generator, until it is, sufficiently heated to evolve gas then turn on the fluid being used, ancl the same flame that heats the gas generator will ignite the gas, when the lighted taper is withdrawn. and the stove is ready for use. Place the cooking vessel in its proper place and then turn the flame protector away from the flame; in this position the. vessel acts as a radiator, spreading the flame in every direction under the bottom of the vessel, and over the gzis generator, and passing out of the slots near thetop of the stove. The, cold air is supplied through the holes poor the bottom of the stove The flame protector inust be turned over the fiament all times when the vessels are'ehanged, or the Home will go out. Thus it will beseen that the heat is all applied to the cooking vessel without the loss of heat, as is the case when a radiator is used.

What'I claim as my invention, and desire to secure by Letters Patent, is as follows:

1. Packing the conducting tube with wood, in the manner andfor the purpose setlforth;

2. A gas generator made of a coiled' tube to encircle the jet of gas, the lower point being turned so as to allow the gas to flow through the centre ofthe circle and burn against the bottom of the cooking vessel, substantially as set forth. I I w JOEL LEE.
