Underground Wires.

The first experiment with underground
wires for electric lighting was tried in
Philadelphia the other night, and the re-
suits were most gratifying. The light is
said to be perfectly white, and burns
steadily without the suspicion of flick
err" 1t is reported to be as far ahead OF
the electric light where overhead wires
are used, as the latter is superior to gas
lamps. 1t is confidently asserted that the
problem OF preventing the troublesome
induction currents has been solved by the
adoption Of the underground sys-
TEN. The company that is builds
ing the underground cOnduits in
Philadelphia proposes to let the
use Of them not only to the electric light
and power companies, but also to the
telephone and telegraph companies. 1t
is impossible to tell what effect the multi
plication Of wire in the cOnduts will have
on the efficiency Of the light, but the sys-
TEN has been extensively tried in other
cities, as applied to telegraph wires, with
favorable results. 1t is probable that the
use of insulated cables will be adopted,
and other great improvements made in
electric lighting at an early day.
