The Ltrht on the Adams.

The Edison electric light on the
steamer Kate Adams cost $4,000, and
it supplies at present some eighty
burners. Each burner is within q
pear shaped glass globe, and is war.
rsnted to last 800 hours, or sixty days,
allowing ten hours Of each twenty
four use. 1t costs 81 each to replace
the burners when they exhaust their
power. The expense to the steamer
for fresh gloEeS is expected to be close
to $500 per annum, or $40 per month.
The Edison company occupied three
months in preparing aud placing the
system on board Of the Adams. A
gentleman connected with the Edison
company, and familiar with its mys-
tories, is on board of the vessel and
will remain for several weeks
until the crew understand its
working thoroughly. The cause Of the
lamps giving out Is the exhaustion or
destruction by heat Of the little BAN
boo loop, which to tho ordinary
observer appears like a small wire
within each glass. The glasses are air
tight, and when the bamboo loop gives
out they are ofno further service, and
consequently. must be replaced with
new. The Edison Company make a
profit on the little globes Of one
dollar each, though it is charged that
another company, which will supply
the electric light on the steamer Will
S. Hays, use so much platinum Ia
their globes that they cannot realize
but little above actual cost, as they
/ must be supplied at one
dollar to compete with the
Edison Company, The latter system
is in psO ON numerous steamships iH
the Pacific ocean, and also on vesselH
in Eastern waters. On the Adams,
in addition to the lights in the paia
cabin, they are also used on the lower
deck, 10 the texas or Office quarters,
in the hold, and indeed, all over the
boat, as no other Illuminating power
is on board. The lights in the cabin
are each eight candle power, but are
shortly to be replaced by others Ol
sixteen candle power each, the dark
coloFs Of the cabin rendering the
change advisable.

Btra COnyention.

A vast number Of little English
sparrows collected on the top Of the
customhOase walls this forenoon and
they sat all 10 rows Apparently tho
little fellows we're deliberating over
something, and several persons nOtic-
ing their movements we're heard to
say that they hoped the birds would
emigrate to South America or some
other foreign region. The sparrOws
are rapidly increasing in numbers
hereabouts, and they appear to be faI
and hearty. Some one expressed the
belief that all the sparrnws about tb'
city had gathered on tho custOmhouse
but this is a mistake. There are col
onies Of several thousand each Ou
around the suburbs, to say nothing o
a few millions still scattered arount
the city, and one pair would b
enough from which to rais' bi
crop.

his reasons for the removal and mar
rating incidents in the career of the mis-
sionary which were hardly consistent with
his clerical character. III the statements in
