BANKS AND DIVIDENDS.
A STRIKING CONTRAST.

that they will verify the axiom quoted above, and that

management of salaried meni "The value Of an
observation Is in the application Of it, Jack Bunsby
would say-the OF these considerations will be
showing the distribution OF the ownership of shares in

Observe for example:
Why some banks do not make m0ney:-There is bank
having S5,0O0,000 capital it's president owning fifty
shares OF stock, and its president and directors alto
geher less than 1000 shares 100000 at value.

would have had to alter the propositions he made on
the subject. Instead OF saying, "The electric light is
ndivisble" (Which is literally true, but somewhat mis-
leadngl he would have mad 20 "There Is loss OF
light in subdivision. but the loss can be overcome by
slight increase OF power" which is very different
thing. both in scientific and practical point Of view
The value Of this new discovery is clear. Take tho
lamps using a continuous current and an incandescent
burner OF metal carbon. Suppose that one lamp
after another De placed IN the current from one machine
until the limit OF operation Is reached. IL might be
found that one machine would sustain two or three
large Sawyer lights. Suppose that 20 lamps were EN-
ployed. The light from each might be and would
be very faint Each would probably have not
much than the power OF one gas burner.
Ada 10 and all would be reduced TO white
glow. Now, by attaching a second machine to
the circuit, which could easily be done. the whole
80 lights would at once more than double In brancy,
and would attain nearly the power OF gas burners
each. Suppose that third machine were added to
the circuit. Then either all the lamps would become
more than one-third brilliant, greater number
Of lamps could be maintained Oh the circuit SO Que
might 20 on, adding dynaInO-eectric machines 10 the
circuit until power enough had been generated 10 man-
tain perhaps 500 or 900 small lights In the circuit.
Indeed, might be found that Edison substantially
right after all when he declared that with 10 or 20
Wallace machines, and 500 horsepower engine, he
could light the buildings within radius OF half mile
OF his electric station 1t Is not asserted that he was
right because that is very much doubted Edl'ons d
claim only be believed when IL Is proved TO be true.
and his last claim Is much moderate
than his first, being only that he can
sustain 4S0 lights with a 80 horsepower engine.
The purpose here is Only to show that the American III
yentors have within the last two months hit upon sell
entilc principle which to indicate the possibility
Of maintaining a large number OF lights upon cleo
trio circuit The principle before stated that while
there Is loss of lignt with fixed current when the
lamps are multiplied slight Of current re-
stores the lost brllliaDcy.
II will now be seen, II not apparent be
fore that there s very great need OF extended expert
ment TO determine how far this principle be carried
In practice. IL will work differently in the case oil
lamps lighting by means OF the yolaic arc, IN which
the current is interrupted and In the case OF lamps
where a continuous current Is employed through car
bons or metallic burners Fewer Of the former KIND oil
LAMPS can be used, because the resistance IS greater
