EDIsoS's ELECTRIC LIGHT.-The prepara-
tions for the public exhibition OF Edison's
electric light are rapidly progressing, and
within week or ten days it is quite proba-
bic everything will be in readiness for all
who desire to see the light. Yesterday two
street-lamps were placed in front OF the
laboratory and connected with the genera
tors, and several more chandeliers were put
into the houses near by. The chandeliers
are OF the ordinary two-burner pattern, the
only difference being that ifplace OF the gas
Jets are little sockets into which the electric
lamp fits. The wires leading from the gen.
Grating machine are run through the chan
1eliers and connected with the electric
lamp. The lights 10 the laboratory con-
tinue burning day and night, and although
the place is not yet open to the general
public hundreds OF persons have come
from near and far to see the wonderful
horseshoe. Not few OF the number who
have thus early visited Mcnlo Park were
| sccptics when they arrived, but not when
they left. They see the light burning be-
| fore them with q mild, beautiful glow; they
see the wires which carry the electricity ;
they see the machine that generates the
same; they can readily ascertain the horse
power capacity OF the engine; and they
can easily calculate the cost OF the whole.
| With these demonstrations before them
| they read with less interest the bitter at.
| tacks made on the great inventor for his
terrible crime Of giving the world better,
more beautiful, and cheaper light than II
has ever bad before.-Neto HOT6 Herald.
