CHEAP LIGHT.
Electric Lighting That May DO Away

The Outlook.

Cheap and abundant electric lighting may
soon be offered to the public. Competent
authorities state that in the best forms of
lighting in present use less than per cent
of the energy is consumed in actual illumi-
nation To save the other 80 per cent now
wasted in heat has long been a fayorite
problem of Edison. Tesla and other in
Vestigators in the field of electricity. The
distinction of attaining this result with a
large measure of practical success appears

New Jersey inventor over a year ago. at
the electrical exposition held in New York

convinced men of science of the great
possibilities of his system Since that time
he has been working night and day to per-
feet the mechanical details, and with a
success made evident by a recent public
Demonstration at his laboratory. The wand

with rich events. The Great Trial, the rich
est tWo-year-Old stake of the spring, will
be decided tomorrow, while the Realza-

attractive one. In the Great Trial fourteen

sweeping decision upon a case in point and
required all wheelmen TO ignore the law
imposed rules of the road and turn out 10
the left if necessary, for heavy-laden
vehicles drawn BY horses, was last night
overtaken by the irony of fate. He was
run down by cycier at Broad and Chest

the street abstractedly glancing at a news
paper Within few feet of the south curb
a Wheeman, who was paying more atten-
ton 10 his feet than 10 what was ahead of
him, turned the corner, and although he
took the precaution to ring his bell, the
distinguished jurist was not spry enough 10
dodge the fast-moving wheel. The Judge
was struck and thrown down, but quickly
got on his feet again. The wheelman
stopped and dismounted and was profuse
with his apologies. Judge Wilson took the
matter good naturediy. and after he wiped
the dust of his clothes, he proceeded on
his way.
