The Candle Fish Lamp From the Far North
An article describes the candle-fish used by northern peoples as a daytime and night lamp. The fish, about ten inches long, is mounted in a crude candle-stick and lit at the head to burn to the tail for over an hour. It provides light through long northern nights, as oils prevent preservation. It also includes brief anecdotes from Our Little Ones and a humorous note about mistaken identities.
