They furnish one of the best means for
farmers and those interested in agriculture
to meet, and compare views, give facts re-

successes or failures. The convention OF
agriculture held here last week, though of a
Ferent nature than farmers institutes, dis

was Of general interest 20 the farmer. A

Electric LAMPS

! ii we examine one of the electric lamps in
the streets, we shall find it consists of two
rods, one pointing upward from the bottom
oil the lamp, the other hanging downward.
Ihe rods seem to touch, and the brilliant
flame Is exactly where they seem to meet.
Oncea day 4 man comes around with bap
OF the rods. He takes out the old rods that
were burned the night before, and places a
new sci in each lamp After he has rome
ABOUT, asst he were putting new wicks into
the lamps, and each is ready for its night
work. all the lamps are lighted in broad day
, loSec that every one is in proDcr trim
They are allowed to burn until men have
walked about in the streets and looked at
each lamp. Ifall are burning well. they are
put out till il begins 10 grow deri. If or e
tails TO burn properly, man goes to that
to see what is the matter. The rods are
made Ola curious black substance, like char
coal, that is called carbon When the lamp
Is out; the two rods touch each other. In
order TO light the lamp, they are pulled
apart land if you look at the flame through
smoked glass you will see that the rods DO
not quite touch. There is a small space be.
tween their points, and this is filled with fire.
LOOK at the other parts of the rods or the
| copper wires that extend along the streets
They have no light, no heat no sound. The
wires are cold, dark, and silent. five were
TO push the rods i'll the lamp close together
the light and heat would disappear, and tho
curious Kissing sound would stop.
The electricity passes down one wire into
the other, through the lamp, in silence and
darkness. SO long as the rods touch and the
no iS nl hn,> ~
are pulled apart, there is space to be got
over, an obstruction, like rocks in the bed Of
the brook. The electricity, like water,
struggles to get over the iind,nnce in its
path, and it grows whitehot with anger, alhi
flames and Kisses rs it leaps across the mar.
row space between the rods. There is
another kind of electric lamp, used in
houses il has a smaller and softer light,
steady, white and beautiful. In these
lamps, also, we have something like the
narrow place III the brook. They arc made
with slender loops Of carbon, inclosed in
glass globes. The electricity, flowing silent
ly through Il dark wire, enters the lamp
anu finds only 4 narrow thread on which it
can travel to reach the home-going wire,
and, IN its struggle to get past, it heats the
tiny thread Of carbon to whiteness Like a
live coal, this slender thread gives us a
mild, soft light, as long as the current flows
1t seems calm and still. but it is enduring
the same fury ofthc electricity that is shown
in the larger lamps. This is the main idea
on which these lamps are made A stream
of electricity is set flowing from dynamo
electric machine through wire until it
meets 4 narrow place or break in the wire.
Then it seeks to get past the obstruction
and there is a grand putting forth of energy,
and in this way the electric force although
itself invisible is made known to our ewes
BY beautiful light. -Chalss Barnard, in
