THE STIsEET-LAMPS.


A grcat many questions have been asked
about the rule adopted in calculating tho new
timetable for lighting and cxtlng,,ishtng tho
strcct-lamps Of this city. Tho difficulty seems
to be chiefly IN the way Of understanding tho
part which tho moon plays in tho arrangement.
The following statement, prepared by the author
OF the new table, may servo to explain bis views
In the case:
From tho third to the 1rst quarters Of tho
moon, that luninary 10 less than half full, and
her light is not taken into the account. Tho
lamps arc lighted and extinguishcd solely with
reference to the sunlight; the first lamp being
lighted ono l,ouf hcfore dark, and cxtingu!sllel
at tic beginning Of morning twilight.
During the scconl quarter of the moon, the
first LAMP Is lighted abolt onu hour anti quar-
ter, and tho last lamp quarter OF nn hour, be-
fore tho time Of moonsct. Tho time Of ext1n-
gushing IL governed by the sun.
During tic third quarter Of the moon, the
1n,nps arc lighted With reference to the time OF
sunset, and tho first lamp Is cxtinguis!led about
q quarter Of All hour after tic moon rises.
During about four nights, at and near THO full,
tho moon Is above tho horizon long enough to
ob7iate tho necessity Of lighting tho lamps at
Tic following table will show tho operation Of
the plan during the tlrst 1noonlit hnlf-1nonth Of
