particular, perfect piece of appar-
atus. II is not intended, as rule,
to give in this column descriptions
OF American devices or achievements
drawn from foreign publications. This
subject has, however, been taken up by
the English journal, Industries and Iron,
and although it states that an American
process for renewing these lamps after the
tllament has been broken, has been de-
veloped, It does not give the name of in
ventors nor state that the process has
come into anything like general applica-
ton. It's description of the operation is,
therefore, given for what it is worth. 1t
states that commercial success has been
made of a process for enewing burned
out lamps which renders possible the
use of the. old bulb at very slight ex-
pense. By the new method the collar or
bare end of the lamp is not disturbed, the
old flament being removed and the new
one placed through q small hole in the
lamp bulb made by removing the tip.
The small hole is subsequently closed
exactly in the same manner as IN the case
OF the new lamp, leaving nothing to
indicate in the finished repaired lamn that
it had ever been opened 1t is stated that
some 400 900 lamps have been repaired by
this method, the filament being inserted
through the small hole referred to by
skillful twist of the hand and secured in
position by special carbon paste. The
black deposit on the inside of the bulb is
removed by fitting the lamp to the holder
and removing it in gas furnace; while
Immediately following this operation a
small glass tube is fused TO the opening
made in the bulb, through which the
lamp is exhausted. When this has b9en
done and the last trace of air and gas alb
sorbed, blow-pipe flame is directed upon
the throat of the tube, which is melted
into the point exactly in every respect
counterpart of the original lamp.-Provi-
dence Journal.

years of age, is locked up in a corridor OF
the County Jail with a lot OF convicts OF
