descent lamps, with some slight I'M
provcments, perhaps, on the other
style of arc light.
Something radically different from
any Of these, but also called (perhaps
more appropriately an "incandescent-
arc" was described In n paper before
the electrical congress in Chicago last
month. 1t is the invention of Louis Il.
Howard, Of New York city. The
special advantage claimed for this de-
vice is that the carbon will last one
hundred hours, thus reducing the con-
sumption of pencils at least nine
tenths, and, what Is still greater
economy, not requiring lamp trim
mer to visit it more than once every
week or ten days. In fact, in certain
test cases the positive carbon in this
hsted about twenty times as long as
with the ordinary commercial lamp,
and the negative almost hundred.
Mr.. Howard puts his carbons in a
small closed envelope of especially
hard glass. When the are is formed
and the pencils begin to burn, carbon
ic acid gas is developed, and that
vnpor serves a double purpose: 1t
checks combustion and it diffuses the
Lightly becoming incandescent from

chamber glow so wildly that the arc
itself at the center is barely percept-
ible by contrast. To prevent explo-
sion from the expansion of the gases
small safety valve is provided, allow
ing egrcss only. Around the movable
pencil-for automatic adjustment OF
the burning carbon is required in this
as in other arc lights-there is a
chance for little fresh air to leak in;
but it is assimilated too quickly to do
harm. 1t will be noticed that this
lamp is trifle more costly in its
mechanism; and as purer carbon is
needed for it's successful operation,
still another slight addition to the
expense is involved. But the electrical
papers look upon this invention with
such favor that it is to be hoped that
it may soon have thorough trial on
u commercial scale.
Mr.. Louis b. Marks, who presented
this subject ut Chicago, is a young
but promising electrician, who has
given much attention to the improve
ment of electric-lamp carbons.

ELECTRIC LIGHTING.
New Kind Of Lamp That fgay Re-
quire Little Attention.
An Incandescent Arc Light which, Per
chance, IL Destined TO Revelation
ixo Street IIlumination-1ncan-
descent yapon

Most of the electric lights now in
common use belong to one of two
types, the incandescent or arc lamp.
In the former, a slender carbon fila
ment, which offers more resistance to
the current than the metallic con-
ductor, becomes heated thereby until
1t glows. To prevent combustion the
small globes inclosing these filaments
are made air-tight, and vacuum is GRE
ated therein. The arc light, which is
much more intense, and is therefore
employed chiefly out of doors, is pro-
duced by making n powerful current
with eight or ten times the voltage
required for incandescent ights) leap
across short gap between two carbon
pencils. These are nearly half an inch
in diameter, and are kept about one
fourth of an inch apart by regulating
apparatus. Owing to the great heat
produced by the flame or arc which
spans the interval, the carbons slowly
consume, the positive pole about twice
as fast as the negative; so that re-
newal is necessary once every night;
perhaps oftener. Usually the pencils
arc adapted to the demands of the
service, since some lamps are required
to burn later than others. Hence one
hears of "eight-hour" and "ten-hour"
carbons. The shade used with these
lights is globe, open at top and bot
tom, like that for gas fixtures.
What is called an "incandescent-
arc" light was placed on the market
last fall. This, however, is merely an
arc lamp such as has just been de-
scribed, but operated by a weak cur

robbed while gentlemen often arc.
Speaking OF confidence men, Just
take look at that young man who is
furtively watching the farmer. Ho

tailor-madesuit of dark cloth that fits
his slender form almost perfectly, and
his linen is immaculate. The solitaire

ago that young man was passing rich

orable. Now he is q thief aud the $40
will probably be $500 when luck is
good. He has an intelligent, refined
face, and his fingers are long and slen-
der like those of woman.
AS the farmer nears him he steps
forward with a daszling smile, and at
the same moment rather small man,
shabbily dressed, touches his arm.
The thief falls back with muttered
curse and the farmer passes him, no
wiser than before. The crowd sweeps
on and two hours later the thief is ON
different corner.
1t is always pleasant to any one Of

WEIGHT OF A CROWD.
1t Is Said to he from 140 to 100 Pound
per Square Foot.

y y POUNDS
per Square Foot.
The load which is produced by a
dense crowd of persons is generally
taken ut so to 100 pounds per square
foot, and is considered to be The great
est uniformly distributed load for
which n floor need be proportioned,
says the Engineering News. That this
value may be largely exceeded in an
actual crowd was pointed out by Prof.
w. G. Kernot, of the Melbourne uni
versity, Australia, in recent paper
before the Victorian Institute of En-
gineers. In an actual trial a class of
students averaging 1885 pounds each
in weight was crowded in a lobby con-
tanning l,s23 square feet, making an
average floor load of lS4.7 pounds.
There was still room to have placed
another man, which would have
brought up the loading to 1881 pounds
per square foot.
Prof. kernot also quoted from
Stoney, wto placed fifty-eight Irish la
borers, averaging 145 pounds each in
weight, in an empty ship dockhouse
measuring 81 square feet floor area.
This was load of 147.4 pounds per
square foot. In another test, with
seventy-three laborers crowded into a
hut o feet by 8 feet inches, Stoney
produced load of 143 pounds per
square foot. and estimated that two or
three more men could have been
squeezed in. Itappears from these ex-
periments that while the figures ordi-
narily assumed of so to 100 pounds are
sufficiently correct on spaces on which
there is no cause to induce the collec-
tion of great crowds, larger figures,
say l4O to 100 pounds per square foot,
should be used for railway stations
and platforms, entrances and exits TO
