the steamboats, on New York bay, gsner'
ally the Brush light, l think. Edison's
discoveries have not been produced in the
city of New York, though his friends are
working very deliberately to light a big
downtown district, l heard the following
interesting conversation yesterday from
one OIL Edison's admirers:
"a gentleman told me yesterday" said
the narrator, "that he had been selling his
vas stock in Baltimore from 4 knowledge
mat the CARROTS were to introduce this
electrical lightthere, and that gas could not
compete with 1t. Every electrical light
but Edison's 10 an arched light made BY
carbon points pressed by The action Of
clock. work, and 1t is the jeTky action Of
ibis clock. work which makes the apparent
splash, Edison's light Ia the i~HCandesCent
lIpht, and II Is about OF the thickness Of
a ish,hook, bent In the shape Of = letter
U. Each prong Of the light 10 an inch
and q half long. II burns In Q little
lamp chimney or bulb, out Of which al
The air has been pumped. The lamp ttaeli,
though an original invention, is nothing
more than q link In On invented system,
where Edison has gone on step by step,
like q man stepping from chip 10 chip on
tho waters. His first invention is the
regulator, which feeds the electricity out
from the source. The next Is the dynamo,
which makes the electricity by resisting
the motive power OF the steam en-
piue. Ths third 10 the junction machine,
which sends the electricity around cor
ners and lets 1t of from point To point.
Next il the meter, then the
switches, then the bracket which
swings like q gas bracket to
and fro and carries the lamp. On the
lamp itself are sixty patents, Then there
iS the motor which turns electricity into
power. Anything requiring lees than
tWenty.horse power can be run by Edi'
sons electric spark. He can boil water,
too, by an invested coil which carries the
electricity into the midst oil i bath tub or
9 boiling pot, and heats from the centre
oil the water outward. 1t takes only
eisht.horse power TO run oil the lights,
bslts, &C., In Edison's factory. Speaking
Of motive power, l may tell q curious
anecdote. Edison is going to light, BY
