In common with all real estate agents we have

IS ELECTRIC LIGHT A FAlluRe1

A short time since the LEADER pre-
sented briefly a few reasons why the
humiliation of gas as an illumination,
need not soon be expected, if the cleo
trio light was depended on to sit down
on it. No electrician gave such high
hopes Of success as did Mr.. Edison last
fall. Hi previous wonderful inven-
tions in t~elegraphy, and the invention
Of the phonograph, placed him at the
front of the worlds greatest inventors,
and the most extravagant promises
on his part were eagerly accepted and
believed by an admiring world. He
promised that Menlo Park should be
lighted by electricity within two weeks;
the time expired, but the endorsers
saved the promise from going to pro-
test, by having 1t renewed several
times. However, it seems to have gone
to protest at last, for we hear no more
prophesies of success on the part of
Edison and his friends.
Still, the scientific mind is interested
greatly in the possibility of success,
ven though the weight of authority
seems to be against the electric light
being made practicable for the purpose
of general illumination.
We shall not venture any opinion of
of our own, but shall quote from scien-
ti6c men who have recently written on
the subject.
Prof. Tyndal, discusses the probable
ity Of the success OF the electric light,
in a purely scientific manner, in the last
number of Fbrtnightly Rsrieto. The
economic features are ignored. Says
the professor, in conclusion: KNOWING
something of the intricacy of the prac-
tical problem, I should certainly prefer
seeing it in Mr.. Edison's hands to hay
ing it In mine" In other words Mr..
Tyndall thinks the problem cannot be
solved.
In the Journal Of Science, Mr.. W.
Matthew Williams has an article on
electricity and the electric light. Mr..
Williams was the associate Of Mr..
Starr, the inventor of kings Patent"
in 1916. He recounts the same difficult
ties in '45 which nov prove an obstacle
to the practical application Of the light,
to domestic use. But the roundup of
Mr.. Williams article is q settler. He
says:
"As a matter of fact, the progress
of electric lighting, since Nj. Starts
death, thirty-one years ago, has been
very small indeed. As regards the
lamp itself, no progress whatever has
been made. During the entervening
thirty years, 1 have abstained from fur
