The Electric Light Comes On.

New York TrtDune.1
An electric lamp OF very simple construc'
ton has also been patented by Mr.. ruler
Tof BrookIyn], which cost less than three
dollars when completed. No clock-"ork
machinery is employed to keep the carbon
points in position, and the lamp VIII Durn
for hours without being touched. Two
strips of carbon Of unequal size are piaceo
parallel with each other at such distance
apart that the current of electricity will pass
between their points and give the best
light. They are also placed at an angle
with the perpendicular. Against their up
per sides rests strip of glass, which pre-
vents the electricity from flowing between
the carbons except at their points. AS
the carbons are consumed by the electric
current, the glass near the points becomes
heated and gradually melts away. While
melting the glass allows the passage through
it OF some part Of the electric current, ana
increases the radiating surface OF the light,
the effect OF this is to lessen somewhat the
intensity Of the light and to increase It's vol
ume. The ordinary electric light is so daZ-
zlipe that it pains the eye. The light pro-
duced by one OF Mr.. Fuler's lamps is softer,
but not less brilliant and powerful.
Mr.. Fuller has ready to be patented an
invention by which the electric current car
ried over single wire can be dlVlded into
a large number of independent branches,
each capable OF supplying lamps of different
power. The invention is exceedingly SIM
pie, but description Of it is withheld for
the present by the inventor. About the
middle OF December last MIR. Fuller SET up
one of his electric machines at the machine
works OF the Brady Manufacturing Com
pany, in Brooklyn, and lighted the
building with his electric lamps for
several months. Several lights were
used, all supplied by a current pass
ing through a single wire. The same
machine and electric lamps were in use re-
Gently at the branch store OF Maltby Il Co.,
at No. IL Greenwich avenue, and attracted
much attention. Mr.. Fuller estimates that
one of his machines, capable Of producing
one hundred lights Of one hundred candle
power each, which may be placed in cir
Gle of mile from the machine, can be ope-
rated at an expense OF thirty pounds OF coal
an hour to maintain steam-poWer.

Editors Dispatch: We assume that the
following will be found a true solution OF
the example given in your issue Of yester-
day: The owners OF the land A and 3
beng geometrical signs, we will let A, B,
C, and D be the given circle; draw the two
iiiameters "A and B and G and D at right
angles to each other and perhaps some Other
letters will be the radius or twice the area
OF the given number of acres nearly.
The transverse and coniugate diameters
being given, we proceed to find the differ
ence of the transverse and coniugate semi
diameters. Audible sound begins when
about thirty-two vibrations per second are
reached. Therefore the. area OF any piece
of lantl-no matter how.irregular the bound
arv lines, or how much was paid for it, or
whether one OF the purchasers began to
sicken OF his bargain or not-may be accu-
Tatelv .ascertained by making drawing OF
the ground on pasteboard on a scale (say
Fairbank's) OF lilo rods to the inch; then
weigh the pasteboard and ground separate
~, and the result Immediately determines
itself. ss~r,
is this right, Atkins? a.
