The person who has the control of the Sawyer d
Man invention made the following statements to a
TRIBUNE reporter yesterday i'll regard to the ad-
yantages of the electric lamp in its present shape
"The principal advantage claimed is the fact
that the supporters or holders, which carry the
carbon are below the part OF the carbon which gives
the light and that part of the flame goes up one
side and over the top of the incandescent carbon
aud thus no shadow is cast, but the light has a
chance TO show in every direction The intensity
Of the electric light makes this point very import
ant as the slightest obstacle the light throws
q shadow which is disagreeable, and detTacts from
Its pleasant effect. Another point of improvement
by using the horseshoe arched form, is the fact
that the carbon, when il expands by heat, is not
expand in every direction without pressing against
the rigid parts clanks, which hold it. This over
comes of the greatest difficulties experienced in
keeping the carbon whole when subjected to repeat
ed expansion and contraction, by alternately turn
ing the electricity on and disseminating It,"
