The experiments have covered .
period Of nearly ten years, and six
patents. issued through the agency
Of Mum / Co., cover the main fea-
lures of the invention. The expo
riments on 50 grand a scale ~ the
Capitol dome,' with 1,100 burners, -
such q distance and elevation, settlet
the question of success, aud the in-
vention will come into general use
for lighting theaters, concert and
public halls, and eventually, by
large central batteries, will ramify
over city districts to afford to resi-
dents, merchants and manufactul ers,
a connection for the purpose of in-
illumination to any ex-
tent desired. ID aie. na
A committee appointed by the
Secretary ofthe Interior, were pres.
ent ON the next evening when the
dome was again lighted, and the
Secretary, Commissioner of Patents,
Engineer Of the Interior, the former
and present architects ofth Capitol,
and the Secretary of the Smithsonian
Institute, expressed themselves much
pleased with the entire success.
Mr.. Gardiner deserves a great
deal of credit for the breadth of con-
ception and skill in execution, and
has encountered the usual fate of
inventors who propose bold and
designe-the joint praise Of
soma, and the sturdy unbelief of
others--but is rewarded, as are .
host of his sympathizing friends,
by success equal to his merit. Tho
House Of Representatives and the
Senate may be thus lighted, and
avoid the present system of lighting
by gas fuse, which allows a great
escape IF gas, and is exceedingly dis
agreeable TO all the members except
those from the oil region, who snuff
It up as Jove did the perfume from
the Mecter cup. ss NJ hsa saa aaal
The picture on the ceiling of the
dome, covering a space Of six thou
sand square feet, and painted by
Constantine Brumidi, who has been
ten months engaged upon the work,
|s exhibited to great advantage BY
the illumination. The visitors who
entered tho rotunda in darkness, and
waited for tho artificial light to
dawn for the first time upon the
splendid interior. which is 90 imper-
fectly revealed BY the circle of win.
dows below the spring Of the dome,
wers SIMPLY rewarded for their jonr.
~ on Z stormy evening, the space
above them showing like an immenss
vault through whoso opea mouth
the heavens wene visible, peop1ed
With the ftaternising dsmigodS of
ancient and modern tunes.
