line library OF Edison at MEMO lark, was
brilliantly Illuminated last night with his new
electric light, the OCCASION being a visit of a
number of inventors aud personal friends.
Forty lamps in all We're burning from six
o'clock until after ten. The effect of the en-
hibition was TO convince those present who
before were skeptical that Mr.. Edison had in
reality produced the electric light for house
held illumination. No day is yet set for the
general public exhibition. but it is quite
probable that inside of a week everything
will be in readiness To be seen by all who de-
sire to visit Menlo Park"
