How do gas lanterns work?

Do they run out of gas eventually? I thought they did but recently I heard somewhere they don’t and I don’t quite understand how

They do run out of gas. There’s a wick that pulls the gas up and evaporates it. It pulls air in and runs it past the wick to burn the vapors. Many have special materials around the flame that glow really bright when they get hot.
