of one opinion there must have been, like

upon. The wise bonifaces among them
are keeping their advertisements running

with best results. In these days of many

ELECTRICITY SAVES BALD HEADS.
Scientific Study of the Position of the Cur.
rents Light.

Electric lighting is passing through an
interesting and important stage AT one
timo the main point considered by the Gus
toner was to have large aggregate
amount of light inside his house, store or
factory; the disposition and quality Of it
were secondary matters. Economy, com
fort and hqelth are now factors which en-
ter largely into the lighting arrangements
of eyefs le# Negotiation:
In 6t.iiCcaa5s PaIl t5fiaIIy there Is more care
given TO tho screening of the light and it
is placed at greater distance from the
desk, wherever practicable. One singular
result Of this Innovation is that clerks who
are consts Itly at tho dosk euffcr less from
the dropping out Of the hair than former
ly. At ono time the light would be fixed
just over the head OF tho occupant Of
desk, and the heat OF the light would so
boat down on his scalp that in course Of
time the hair became weakened and bald
ness ensucd. This, indeed, is given as one
Of the many causes why badness is now
adays so prevalent.
With u better placing and judicious
tempering Of the light has como distinct
improvement in the health of employees,
and in largo establishments, whore over
100 clerks ore employed the low rate of
ahsenteeiSm frop. sickness, which is less
than one third tho normal, is attributed to
this cause. IN factories it is found that
the good or bad arrangements of the light
ing will make an enormous difference in
the amount of work done by the operators,
and the less strain there is to the eye either
from too much or too little light the bet
ter is the output of the operative depart
nert
In recently built mill it was decided,
after a good deal of experimenting, that
the best service, life and illumination at
moderate expense and great economy were
obtained by the use of 2i candle power in
candescent lamps at ia volts and 81 or
s. q watts. Elaborate attempts were also
made to ascertain the best size and shape
of lamp bulbs, but the results varied so in
each case that it is yet an open question
The general trend OF opinion seems to
be in favor of comparatively large bulbs
with small ncaks and well rounded at the
ends. This shape in a "A candle power
lamp gives L i;ht which, although intense
at the bulb is sufficiently difused over
Its required area to give Uniform illunina
tion, and the strcaks Of light radiating
from tho tip OF tho lamp, which in cloth

certain extent diminished.
In the Cloth inspecting rooms it was
found difficult to examine the fine work
turned out when clear glass bulbs were
used, as the 'strcaks" prevented rapid in

ground glass bulbs with fluted Opaque
shades has overcome this difficulty and
gives light almost equal to daylight.-
