All the plans for lighting the World 5

are TO be Illuminated exclusively by
electricity, and Engineer Sargent, who
has the work in charge. says the cleo
tricpl effects at Paris will be totally
eclipsed lie and the experts who are
helping him have made very careful
study OF that feature OF the Paris ex-
position, with view TO improvt
ing on IT, Both arc and incandescen-
lamps will be used. The arc lamps
will be 1000 cundle-power each. Six
hundred OF these lamps will be re-
IL
The same number will be used in the
agriculture building. I'm each Of the
buildings of electricity, mines and min
ing and horticulture, 400 lamps will be
required. -Four hundred and fifty will
be swung in the transportation build
ing and $50 in the forestry.

feet Of all will be in the fine arts gal
lery,n said Mr.. Sargent I'VE have
one mile OF wall space there TO illumi-
nate. This will he done with 2, 200
incandescent lamps OF iG candle-power.
We will use 400 OF these lamps In the
woman's building and $50 arc lights i'm

lights are used incandescent lamps
will also be furnished TO exhibitors II
desired Our system is great inn
provement on that at Paris where
only two or three buildings were
lighted by electricity. The buildings
will fairly blaze when we turn on the
current The estimate given does not
include any of the lamps that will be
used 60 light the park. That system
will be perfect We intend to put a
special plant In the improved part q
