Howard s ( d) pioneer experiment on the use of kerosene against mosquito larvae, published in 1892, is well known. It is not so well known, however, that in 1867 he observed how illuminating oil killed mosquito larvae when he accidentally spilled some oil while filling a lantern over a horse trough infested with wrigglers. When called upon to devise a means for killing mosquitoes in later years, he remembered this incident on his father s farm in his early boyhood and so performed experiments that led to the universal use of petroleum oils as mosquito larvicides.

Sanskrit records indicate that rapeseed was used as a source of cooking and illumination oil as early as 2000-1500 bc. The crop was introduced to Japan from China (possibly via Korea) about 2000 years ago in 35 bc. Ancient civilizations in Asia and along the Mediterranean used rapeseed for lighting because it produced a smokeless flame. In Europe, rapeseed has been cultivated for a very long time in those countries which did not have poppyseeds or olives records of cultivation are available from the thirteenth century. Rapeseed was the most important lamp oil until it was replaced by petroleum based oils.
