The Jefferson Iron Works presented
quite brilliant appearance last night after
they were lighted up with electricity. 1t
is evident, however that there are not
enough lamps in the works to light such
an area, and the company design putting
in additional ones. In the main nail facto-
ry there are six lamps, supplied with white
globes which modify the intensity of the
light, and subdue it until it is not painful
to the eye. In the old factory there are
lamps, supplied with clear glass globes,
and the illuminating power of these lamps
is stronger even than these in the main
factory.
The electric light is certainly the light
for factories of this kind. The proprietors
of the Jefferson Iron Works have shown
considerable enterprise, and when they
have their building completely fitted out
with these lights will have one of the most
complete factories that can be designed
