LIGHTING STREET LAMPS BY ELECTRICITY.
The Philadelphia Inquirer thus describes the
process Of lighting the street lamps by electric
ity, which was tested with success in that city
few days since. The apparatus consists of
small box about two and half inches square
which is attached to each burner. The boxes
are connected by wire with a central Office
something after the fashion of our fire alarm
boxes. A small battery and one operator can
control the entire city. The wires which are
required for the purpose are encased in small
tube and can be laid under ground. A city
can be divided up into circuits of one hundred
lamps each. 1t will require about four min
utes to light one circuit. The circuits are all
started at the same time by means of clock
work, worked by telegraph and separate Bate
ries. The time now required to light and ex-
tnguish the lamps by hand is about two hours.
The boxes under the burners are SO arranged
that the lamps of each circuit light successive
ly, and not simultaneously, so that much less
electric force can be used. One cell with
Rumpkoff coil is sufficient to light the circuit.
The gas is not turned on at one general head,
and then lighted, but each burner, by an auto
matte arrangement turns the gas both off and
on, as may be wanted. There is thus no waste
ofgas. The gas does not have to be lit before
it is wanted. 1t can be turned on aud'off in a
short time, and several times in one night, if
the weather should make it necessary. The
cost of employing the boxes is about five dollars
to each lamp, not including the laying of
wires. The cost of introduction, it is said, is
more than made up in the course of one year
by the saving of gas and the wages of Fighters
The cost of running when once introduced il
inconsiderable.
