OF Rev. DR.. Rexford's lecture Tues
day eve, much good has been said,
while on the other hand some criti-
cism is made Many of his points
were well taken, forcibly put, and
given with that deliberatiOn which
makes his speaking SO attractive.
There were theories advanced on
some lines however, which would per-
haps not be well sustained under
argument and must be taken, as the
speaker stated, as an opinion of one
man.
DR.. H. d. Martin, the famous eye
specialist, will again visit Morrisville

tentiOn is called to his card in another

. The Great Naval Battles of the
Rebellion" 1t is safe to say that |
this lecture will not be surpassed by
any, as the universal testimony is |
alike in saying that he is one of the |
hest. His subject will be of much in
terest to all those who have any per-
'onal knowledge of the battles fought
upon the wave inasmuch as he was
there himself, not in Imagination.
Much has been recited upon the plat

ton. As has been said of some liter
airy man the Major can 'sSmite out a
picture in a phrase" Admission, 35

ELECTRIC LIGHTS AT THE TANNERY.
We found time last week to examine |
the small but very satisfactory cleo
trio light plant at the tannery, and
to learn from everybody's genial |
friend, Mr.. E. W. Webster, all about |
it. The plant cost Messrs. Webster &
Stafford 1915, ond they have put it |
in entirely at their own expense; !
which shows their confidence in it, as
a few of the following statements will |
demonstrate their foresight in so do |
ing. Last winter it cost them about |
800 for kernsene-sayingnO of
breakage of lamps and danger of fire,
They still use a little kerosene for the
night Waterman, but not one gallon
where they formerly used twenty.
The little dynamo looks by daylight
as innocent and insignificant as the
governor of an engine when all is
still. 1t takes no more room than
one good Rochester kerosene burner
would require, runs with a very small
belt, andII-as the power required for
the bark-milI is not used in that di-
rection while lights are on-puts no
more work to say the most, on the
engines than during the day. The ins
candescent lights (of which there are
45 in the building) require, ordina-
rily, about five to six horsepower to
run them well. tits like pushing a cur
rent OF water through host of small
service pipes, requires no more pow
er accordingly than one straight pipe
carrying the same amount of Water
would require. The speed of the dy-
namo is a matter calling for some
care. The lights need power of fifty
volts. GiEethem sixty Volts and they
will melt out, or consume, the fine
wire inside of the glass bulbs, which
forms the track for the light current,
and so destroy the clamps" which
