The Maxim Electric Light-EdisOn Out.
done.

The New York Erening Post says: A
reporter yesterday questioned Prof
Barker, of Philadelphia, concerning his
opinion of the value of the new Maxim
light from incandeScent carbon. Prof.
Barker said: There is no doubt in my
mind or in that of Profs. Morton and
Draper rs TO the value Of Mr.. Maxim's
remarkable discovery. For years l
have been an admirer of Edison's search
for the true solution of the electric light
problem, and l can testify to his unre-
hitting energy and the exhaustive ma
ture of his search. But another man
found it.
Il do not say that Maxim is a better
electrician than Edison. but he has in
vented a lamp which surpasses, 1 be-
lieve. even Edison's dreams. Last
week Professor Draper got several of
Maxim's lamps and invited Professor
Morton and me to 90 to his (Draper's)
laboratory to test them. Edison had
also been asked t. send a few lamps,
but wrote that an accident had hap
pened to his machinery which would
prevent him from doing SO. He wrote.
however. in answer to a question put
10y. Professor Draper, that the highest
light which he could get out of his most
improved lamps was a ~fifty-candle light.
AND from experiments which we have
made with Edison's lamp we know that
his lamp. run at that intensity, will not
last for more than an hour.
I'VE took these lamps of Maxim's
n began u experiments. As SUBJ
stitutes for gas burners of full power
they were perfect. We then began in
creasing the intensity until we ran one
lamp for twenty-four hours at an in
tensity equal to that of six hundred and
fifty candles, or the light given out by
forty gas burners. The lamp was as
good apparently when we finished as
when we began. This in my opinion
was the most remarkable performance
of an incandescent- lamp eve made.
Edison hiss a good generator, but his
lamp was old twenty years ago. The
hydro-carbon atmosphere of Maxim's
lamp is new.

THERE is an Alderman in Detroit who
knows n bale of hay when he sees il a.

when he came across a small group OF
friends. They had perhaps been wait
ing for him, knowing that he would pass
that way about that hour. They were
standing near a bale Of hay marked
"2l0 pounds" and beside the bale
stood a fiat-chested. slim wasted. con-
sump;ive-looking youth of twenty sum-
mers. who kept splitting on his hands
and saving he would shoulder the bale
or die in the attempt.

man. rs he came TO a halt.
"Why. he must be a foolr' replied

Nothing but chain-lightning could
have beat the movements Of that Alder
man in pulling out an * and placing
il in the hsnds Of a stakeholder. When
all was ready the consumptive spit on
his hands, shoulderei the bale and took
his walk The end of the Alderman's
tongue was in sight, and his eyes could
have been stepped On As the dying
youth returned to the curb, dropped the
bale and took the money.
