TEE LIGHT OF THE NEAR FUTURE.-Ak-
ron, Ohio, is already Illuminated by electri'
city, as all cities must soon be illuminated.
A telegram in the Cincinnati Commercial
says:
Akron, Ohio, April 9.--At O'Clock this
morning the system Of lighting our city
with electricity, with lamps placed on high
towers at two stations, was tested ana
found 10 be eminently satisfactory. A bril-
liant light was produced, Illuminating an
area fully mile in diameter. The time OF
night could easily be told by a watch nearly
half a mile away. The light was tested un-
der The supervision OF j. V. Holmes, me-
cbanical engineer, and Mr.. Marshall, of the
Brush Electric Company, aud members OF
the Council Committee on Electric Light.
The experiment was witnessed by members
OF the local press and few citizens. The
result was in every WAY gratifying. and
meets The expectations OF lis Warmest
friends.
A description OF the system adopted by
Akron is as follows: An iron tower 220
feet in height. Of which 20S feet are above
the surface OF the street. is elevated at the
Intersection OF Howard and Market streets.
The tower is made OF bOiler-pate of various
thlcknesses, and was put up in sections,
each section being fifty inches in length.
The diameter Of the tower AZ the base is
three feet, and at the summit eight inches.
On this tower is placed carriage carry ing
four lamps, or double lamps as il were I;
each lamp has four ear bons, and when two
are consumed two more are automatically
switched in the circuit, guaranteeing a con-
tinuous ight for sixteen hours. The second,
= wooden mast Is erected on top OF Buchtel
College, and Is forty.siX feet in height. On
this mast is placed also four lamps. The
distance between the two stations in Il
straight line Is about four fifths Of a mile.
The area Illuminated by the lamps at the
two stations includes The business portion
OF our city.
Each lamp is equal to 1000 candle power,
the four lamps al each station producing 4
light equal to 16.000candle power. A No.
Z Brush dynamo.elt ctric machine generates
the electricity, and is driven by 60'borse
power epgine--the engine readily running
three machines OF the capacity OF the one
now Used. The engine makes 100 revolu-
ticns and the dynamo-eectrc machine SOC
revolutions per minute. The engine and
machine are placed in the Central engine.
house, about midway between the two
stations. The entire length OF the circuit
Is 72.l00 mile. The entire cost, including
engine. machine, towers, &c, is about
$4,000.
Notice that territory mile in diameter
not in circumference-is lighted by two
towers. Notice, too, how little il costs.
