ELECTRIC LIGHT EXAGGERATED

There Is an error in regard TO the
amount OF light given by electric
lamps, remarks an exchange, and the
electric light people seem most interest
cd in keeping up the deception, though
why they should do 90 Is not clear.
The lamps give plenty of light-more.
in feet, than 10 needed. or can be util-
lied. and sometimes more than 10
necessary for comfort. hence there
should be no necessity for declaring
the light to be greater than it really
is. Gas jets run from twelve to twenty
candle lights; that is. the ordinary jet
gives a. much light ss twelve TO twenty
standard sperm candles. We See in the
papers and bear about 1000. 1000 and
even 1900 power electric lights. II o

were registered at 1000 candles. and

results were very significant OF neces-
sity for reform in the statement in re-
gard to the electric light. He found
that one Of the lamps was not giving q

did not measure 400 candles. A light

'beefsteak.' as remarked by Q friend,

about It's power. for il illuminstes well

. deucedly thin light for one Of 2O0C

WARRINGTON TERRITORY.

PoRT TOWNSEND, June l4--At about
half past eight o'clock this morning
Wstermsn & KatZs wharf gave way
with a great crash and fell into the bay.
The noise and jan were perceptible at
distance Of half mile. and crowds soon
gathered TO see and assist At first
great alarm and excitement were caused
by the rumor that tive persons were
buried in the ruins. bat on calling the
roll of bystanders they one by one re-
sponded. Some of them were wet and
all Of them badly frightened, until it
was satisfactorily shown that none were
missing. The warehouse contained an
immense stock of goods, and organized
efforts were at once made TO save what
was possible before the incoming tide
should ruin it entirely. Every body
helped. and no better work WAS ever
done here. Little lads were seen bend
ing under heavy boxes, and men and
boys emulsted each other in their zeal
to save the many articles OF value en-
dangered. On the side toward the bay
q huge scow was rapidly loaded, and
the work was crowned with success in
saving nearly all the merchandise on
the wharf and in the warehouse. The
accident was caused by the weight of
the schooner Ariel, which was beached
alongside the wharf and leaned heavily
against it. Capt Delgsrdnos schooner
Jennie was dragged under the sinking
wreck and had its side stove in. The
Ariel has teen libelled in the sum Of
$4,000 for the damage done.
The ship Orpheus, which arrived
here yesterday morning. made the trip
from this port to San Francisco and
discharged about fourteen hundred
thousand feet Of lumber and returned
in ~ days. A good round trip. con-
sidering the amount of cargo carried.
