ten men, several of whom escaped by

Electric Hand lamp,

NEW YoRR. July 14.--An exhibition OF an
electric hand lamp, brought from Paris by

took place to day in Firemens Hall Tho
lamp is about the size of an ordinary small
lantern, weighs about five pounds, gives u
light equal to about sevcn-candlc power,
and will burn for two hours. The lamp Is
so constructed that when 1t rests on the
ground the battery does not work, but
when it is raised by the handle the light
flashes out brightly. II is claimed TINT the
lamp will burn two hours without change
in the battery. Mr.. Purroy thinks that The
lamp can be improved by an arrangem ent
to keep it lighted when it rests on the
ground. Chief Shay will carry IL about to
fires for while and give it a practical test,
and if 1t works well other lamps will be
purchased
