 A goodly number of our substantial citizens visited the sampling works evening to witness the illp- imitation by electric lights. The cur rents are generated through . dynamo propelled bya Westinghouse engine, which charges tho wires. The incan- descent lights contain . l6-candle power, while the arc lights have the force of 120O-candle power. The former are intended for use in resi- 1ences and small edifces, and the arc Tor the lighting of streets and large nails. The Brush patent is the one adopted. It is intended to run the wires in the city within a few days, to connect with the houses of those who nay desire to use the electric light. The Bellevue House has already made application, and it is thought that all ,ur large business houses will encour- .ge the enterprise by adopting the Iafest and most economical light in uee. |
