Specification forming part of Design No. 27,680, dated September 21, 1897. Application filed August 5, 1897. Serial No. 647,268. Term of patent 14 years.

To all whom it may concern:     Be it known that I, JOHN MEIGGS EWEN, a citizen of the United States, residing at Chicago, in the county of Cook and State of Illinois, have invented and produced a new and original ornamental Design for Prism-Lights, of which the following is a specification.     My invention relates to a new and improved design for prism-lights, and is illustrated in the accompanying drawings, wherein--     Figure 1 is a perspective view of a prism-light embodying my design. Fig. 2 is a section through the same.     Like letters refer to like parts in the two figures.     As illustrated in the drawings, the prism-light A is in the form of a semicircle, having

the substantially straight side B and the curved or semicircular edge C. One side of the prism-light is provided with the prisms D, the other side being a substantially plain or smooth surface.     I have shown certain angles, arrangements, and numbers of the prisms, but the essential feature of my invention is a semicircular body of glass with one substantially smooth side and one prism side.     I claim--     The design for a prism-light as herein shown and described. JOHN MEIGGS EWEN. Witnesses:     DONALD M. CARTER,     HOMER L. KRAFT
