Comparison Of Artificial Lights.
An electrician who has been COM
pairing the light obtained from different
artificial sources and daylight has
reached the conclusion that artificial
light gives the most satisfactory re-
suits. When under spectroscopic ex-
animation it approaches as near as pos
sible to daylight in the character Of tho
rays. The arc lamp and the improved
incandescent' gas-lights are the artiti-
cial sources Of light that approach sun
light most nearly in nature, but all ar
titicial light has a warmer or more
golden tint than daylight. Ordinary
gas flames and low-poWer incandescent
electric lamps emit the red and yellows
rays in great excess, and are conse-
quently still less satisfactory. It is be-
lieved that a light closely approaching
daylight in character could be obtained
by the use of colored reflectors with arc
lamps.

A suoees.ful Play &c Cardray's.

The very interesting society drama of
"Love and Duty" seems to have caught
the popular taste at Cordray's theater, and
last evening Witnessed another crowded
house and the same demonstration Of sat-
isfaction that marked the initial perform
ance Monday night, when several hundred
people had to be turned away unable to
gain admttancs owing to the crowd that
had already filled every seat in the house.
The secret Of the present success Is not
alone due 10 the excellence of the pay
itself, which deals with family secrets Of
interest to everybody. but largely to the
exceptional manner in which the ten lead
ing members Of the company have imbued
their respective parts with their own indi-
viduality. bringing about results that
make up a perfect and pleasing whoie
There is not a dali line in the
whole play and the beauty and force of
each Is interpreted with an intelligence
that reflects credit on the company and
the management. Essic and Minnie Tit
tell are nightly given warm receptions and
the hearty applause that follows their
clever work during the evening shows their
popularity. The other leading members
of the company have no cause for CON-
plant on the score of attention, their
clever interpretations being warmly APP
plauded; IN fact the close of every act is
the signal for a spontaneous recall in
which ail share alike. The comedy work
of Barley McCullum and Charles Swain
keeps up q constant flow Of laughter
which relieves the more sombre parts of
the play. "Love and Duty" has made a
hit and those wishing to see Ii should Sc
cure their seats IN advance.
