BRILLIANT sPECTACLE.
what May be Seen on the Capitol Dome
This Evening.

The art of electric lighting will be illus
strated this evening in a new and decidedly
novel manner. The Anglo-African electric
lighting company, which has for it's object
the illumination of lighthouses on the coasts
of the known world, has consented, at the
urgent request of many of our prominent cit
liens, to give an illustration of their meth
DDS. The attempt will be made upon
the statue of the genius which adorns the
dome of the Capitol. A concentrated cur
rent of electricity will be carried to the sum
nit of the dome and there be subdivided into
at least fifteen hundred smaller currents,
each of which will terminate in light of
1,547 candle power. The lights will be
formed as a garland upon the brow of "The
Genius" zone of fire about her waist, brace
let's of diamond brilliance upon her wrists
and arms, double gemmed carriers upon
such portions of her limbs peer out be-
meath the folds of the drapery, and to
make the whole figure still more attractive,
seventeen most graceful festoons of light will
envelop the statue. Conspicuous as this ma
iestic figure is for miles around, it will be
more beautiful than ever when bathed in the
effuIgence of this grand electric elimination.
1t may be interesting for newspaper men
to know that the whole exhibition will be
under the sole charge of the genial legislative
CORRESPONDENT of the New Haven Register.
