THE ELEu TRIO LIGHT.

Up to the present time, as is we'll
known, the electric light has been
used only for lighthouses, as an
electric sun illumination for signals,
or on the stage, when strong light
may be required without regard to
cost but thus far it has been quite
impossible to employ it for lighting
streets or houses. By the old meth
Cd the electric spark was passed be-
tween two points # charcoal, each
attached TO copper wire connected
with an electromagnetic machine.
The disadvantages attending this
mode consisted in the fact that for
each light separate machine was
required, and that the light so OBJ
tanned, although very powerful, was
impossible to be regulated, besides
being non-continuous, ow ng to the
rapid consumption of The charcoal
points from exposure TO the air. All
these difficulties Mr.. A. Ladignin, OF
st. Petersburg, Russia, has tried, and
apparently overcome most success
fully.
BY this nowly invented method
only one piece of charcoal or other
bad conductor is ..required,ss which
being attached to a wire connected
with an electromagnetic machine,
is placed in a glass tube, from which
the air is exhausted and replaced by
gas which will not at a high tenn.
perature comparechemically with the
charcoal. This tube is then hermit
eally sealed, and the machine being
set in motion by q small steamer
CINE, the charcoal becomes gradually
and equally heated and emits soft,
steady and continuous light, which
by most simple con+rivance, can
be strengthened or weakened at the
option of those employing it, its du-
ration being dependent solely on the
electric current, which, of course.
will last IS long as the machine is
kept in motion. Taking into con-
nderStion the fact that one machine,
worked by small three-horse power
engine, is capable Of lighting man,
hundreds of lanterns, it is evident
thar an enormous advantage and
profit conld be game by the illumi-
nation of streets, private houses
public buildings and mines, with the
new electric light In the latter it
must prove invaluable, as no explos-
ions need ever be feared from IT., and
these lanterns will burn equally as
well under water as in a room. With.
out mentioning the many advantages
this mode of illumination has over
gas, which, by its unpleasant odor and
evaporation, is slowlY poisoning
thou'ands of human beings, and from
which explosions are frequent, We
can state that, by calculations made.
this election light can be produced at
a fifth of the cost of coal gas. We
hope shortly to place before the
public more complete particulars, as
well as reports of future experiments
which are proposed to take place in
Vienna, Paris and London. -JouruolI

in the opinion that the chief justice, prssi-

express that opinion in the Independent.
You said you would, and your article does
not contain a sentence to that effect. For
this, and your declaration that am not

ciples on which, / suppose, your former
preference was based. beg you to accept
my thanks. / regret that you saw fit TO
withdraw that preference with such flour

truth, that l was neither candidate nor as
pirant for any nomination, and that the In
dependent did not think it useful to urge
any further consideration of my name.

these days, when private conversation is
deemed public property:
