fast and Dsrry-the only places In Ireland In
which the corporations contain msjor OF
Prote stants and Tories-are Protestant and
Tory to the backb while in suoh Catholic
places as Dublin and Sligo the majority have
chosen men differing from them in politics and
religion. The proceedings in the Dublin Cor
poration were enlivened by q timely bringing
to mind by Mr.. Dwy er Gray, II p, of the in ter
esting fact that the Lord Mayor elect and some
other gentlemen Who now pass as Tories and
Wings were amongst the founders of the Home
Rule movement. One of these, it must be
added, when challenged thus by Mr.. Gray,
manfully avowed that he WAS still a Home
Ruler, though he was too qniet man any

public mind allows itself to be held with
reference to the so-called "divisibility" of
the electric hight by Mr.. Edison, is some
what surprising, seeing that all the time
this divisibility is fat accompi in Eng
land, md may be witnessed and tested any
night OF the week at the Times printing
Office. Armed with an order for this pur-
pose, went there the other evening, and
this is what SAW.
From gasiight we merged suddenly into
what seemed flood Of daylight, which
came from six small lamps placed at inter
va|s round the room, in which compositors
and others were busy at work. These
lam ps were suspended so as to be raised
and lowered at will. In compliance with
the wish of enc of the gentlemen present,
one Of these lights, selected at haphazard,
was turned oGt by means of tap, and it
remained out without the slightest percep-
tible inc;ease in the volume If light in the
other lamps. Then another light at a dis
taDce WAS treated in similar manner, and
with like result. These two were thon
re!it by turn of the tap the reverse way
and turned on full power. Then one was
slightly lowered" 80 as to give about a
third OF its full light, as with ordinary gas.
In short, we found there a useful aud
agreeable light, which can be moderated
and arranged to suit all circumstances.
This is the Rapieff light. l am no electri-
clan, and shall not attempt to give tech
nical description of the apparatus employed,
but it seems to possess great simplicity.
M. Rapieff says he can burn ten lights in
the circuit; that his carbons will burn for
ten hours that they can be easily renewed
and without extinguiehing the lights. He
further estimates it's comparative cost with
gas as less than third. His statemente
may be taken for what they are worth
but, Judging from what actually saw in
the Times office, 1 should say the sooner
gas shareholders begin to "hedge" by
| investing in electric light shares the better
