has the right OF the Granme generator for producing

the erection of proper works. The capital required
will not be great to establish gas works of equal

fixtures in connecting them with wires, each

onethird much gas In Paris, Berlin and London
where these electric candles rapidly coming into
use the cost is found to be nominal compared with

candles the Palace Hotel is caused by the carbon

did so she was both surprised and fright
ened to observe bright light surrounding
the hand that held the garment. AT the same time
the electric currents passed along the arm shocking
her quite severely. When her husband was inform
