The Argand Lamp

For thousands of years nothing had really changed the oil lamp. The oil lamp is a candle soaked in oil The shape of it had changed but it itself had not changed. In ancient Rome their oil lamps looked like little bowls with a picture on top and a small hole for the light to come out. Then there is the Aladdin style oil lamp but instead of a genie in it there is oil and to light it you stick the candle or lighter in the hole and boom you have a bright lamp. But a man named Argand made an new type of oil lamp that uses glass walls to make the light better originated and keeps the flame alive longer and brighter.
