Advantages of Electric Lighting.

Mr.. Eric S. Bruce recently delivered a
tric Light The lecturer stated that tn,
requirements Of an artiicia! light, in order
to make it conducive to health were that it
should not he a source Of inpurity to the
atmosphere; it should heat the atmosphere
as it'll, as possible; it should be a brilliant
bright light, aud should be perfectly steady,
cleanly, and in 10 way O. danger. Most Of
those requirements, however, were not met
by the forms OF artificial light in use: in
deed oil lights which We're dependent on
combustion st the burner were sources of
impuri,y to the atmosphere and danger to
the public.
The electric in~andescent lamp, he pointed
out, wa, the only light where they had per
feet incandescence without appreciable COM
bustion i'll the lamp. 1t pos ss.ssed all the
health requirements Of an artificial light
such as an lnspprec ciable heat, purity and
briliiancy of color, steadness of light, and
immunity from danger OF fire The lecturer,
having shown by experiments the advantages
OF electric lighting over other illuninants
concluded by tracing the present depression
in the electric market to the experimental
nature of the earler work, the prejudicas Of
the public. and certain drawbacks of the
present electric lighting act At tn. con-
clusion Of the leeture the chairman in NOV
ing vote of thanks to Mr.. Eric Bruce, said
the electric light possessed almost every
advantage that was required in an artificial
light, and in has opinion it was destined to

The Upper story of the StorepiDe.

Sometimes there is good deal in a hat.
and sometimes there is not. The latest au-
tllority says there is to be less room in the
uppar story OF the stosepipe than usual
In fact. the newest dudes are already taper
ing off at the top gbod deal like the old
fashioned sugar-loaf, or the historic hat Of
the witch burners
OF cour g there will be more or less outcry
against the elongation and narrowing of the
stovepiw. 1t is ugly and uncomfortable
enough at the best. But when it conforms
neasurably to the size of the human head
and keeps up some thing of the spirit of
soft hat or turban the human eye is not tco
severely offended. But to run it up to a
plain, black, blunted point is too MUCK even
for the prevailing beauty of men.
Possibly the return to the Puritan shape
Of lat may swing us back somewhat toward
Pun jtan morals, and in some things some
people might be inclined to call that an inn
provcment. But it is doubtful if the hat
would accomplish much toward improved
morality. Even the head is rather inefec-
tive il that line and much less can be sail
of hats. TIE narrow top hats have not i'm
proved the women very much, and the men
are much tougher subjects. On the whole,
little is to be hoped for in the new hats of
the day Philadelphia Times
