The Electric Light.

One of Philadelphia's largest carpet manu-.
factories has recently put in the electro light
to illuminate its floors, and the device is com.
pete success. 1t consists of a Brush dynamo
electric machine of 10000 candle power, ar.
ranged to give four separate currents, each
running an electric lamp of 5000 candle pow
er Two OF the lamps were placed on the third
floor, and two on the fourth floor of the i'm
mense building, and when the engine was
started up the machine started at the same
time and without the slightest manual inter.
ference the lamps dashed out their light in all
its magniticence. The effect was most bril-.
liant The rooms were flooded with pure
white light like the light of the sun, and it
streamed out of all the windows, illuminating
houses and streets for IA long distance in every
direction. The light was very uniform and
steady, free from the tliCkering, and cons dcr-
ing the enormous Illuminating power, the
light was Unexpectedly soft and endurabc to
the eyes. Estimates were made as to the amount
that the light furnished by this apparatus
would cost if used by the carpet company as
il was used on this occasion, and it was ascor-
tanned that the total cost of the whole light
from the four lamps, including the items of
consumption of carbon in the lamps, interest
in the investment and wear and tear would
not exceed thirty cents an hour. The light
produced was equal to 500 gas burners, burn
ing five feet of gas per hour each. This amount
OF gas would cost 50 per hour.-N. \. Co0i

At late meeting Of the Wisconsin State
Horticultural Society Mr. Tuttle stated that
he had accidentally discovered II method by
which the cooling moths could be destroyed
the plan of putting strips and bandages on the
trees was attended with good deal Of labor
and required much care, and did not result in
Finding many moths were caught in an open
cask of cider vinegar standing in his yard, he
had set shallow pans containing vinegar
around among the trees, and succeeded in
catching hundreds of them; as a result, his
fruit had been nearly free from worms while
that of his neighbors was badly eaten by
them; he had great confidence in this plan of
destroying them, and thought if we used this
remedy properly, we need not fear the moths
in future; would put out the vinegar about
the time the fruit commenced to drop or even
earlier, when the moths commence to fly in

the papers taken from Gen. Wallaces body for

could but respect him for the very brave man

Every part of the BARRIERS pole formerly had

be distinctly heard 800 feet away Already
