ufacture.
The incandescent lamp consists OF q
flament of carbon, attenuated to give
high resistance, inclosed in a receiver
made Of glass, from which the air is
exhausted, the conductors being sealed
through the glass and connected with
the filament. Edison searched the
world over for materials for this fla
ment, and hit upon bamboo, which was
imported as dunnage from the east,
evenly cut into fine splinters, and then
carbonized. To produce this lamp the
Edison lamp factory was established at
Harrison, n. j., now employing several
hundred girls and men, and turning out
over 100000 lamps per year-the
largest product in the world. OF late
years "squirted" flament has taken the
place of bamboo. Cotton, or other pure
cellulose, is digested, much as the hui
man stomach digests food, into brown
fluid not unlike thin molasses, which,
when squirted under pressure through
finely cut steel die or tube, is deposit
ed as continuous spiral in a vessel OF
alcohol slowly revolved below. The
alcohol washes out the acid, and the
white thread which is left, cut into
strips, is packed in crucible. subject
ed to intense heat, and charred into
black carbon filaments. These are
mounted with carbon paste upon plat
mum terminals, which have already
been securely fastened into the tiny
stopper of glass. Meantime the glass
bulbs have been made in the glass fac
tories, and into these the glass stop
pers are Theoretically. sealed. At the
tube of glass. In the vacuum-room the
lamps are hung by the conductors 10
electrical connections, and the open
tube is connected to a large glass tube
through which is dropping a stream Of
mercury from the mercurial air
pumps This mercury sucks the air
out from the bulb, and when the air
is practically exhausted, the current is
turned on to show whether the vacuum
is good, and to drive any air out from
the carbon way. The bulb is sealed.
Each lamp is now put in turn into q
photometcr, where one girl adjusts the
lamp to the photometric standard,
while another reads off and marks the
voltage. Recently an Italian method
for producing vacuum by chemical
means has replaced, in great measure,
the mercury pump. The variety of
lamps made at the Edison lamp works
is extraordinary, at least ZOO kinds be-
ing produced, ranging in Illuminating
power from one-half candle power for
miniature decorative lighting TO above
100 candle power-R. II. Bowker, in

The death rate for the year works out
1875 per 1000 per annum, which is one
Of the lowest we have had. 1t is some
what lower than the rate for the 33
great English and Welsh towns rolled
into one. If we compare London with
Liverpool, the largest of the provincial
towns, we find that the latter returns a
rate of 22.7, so that, applying this rate
to the metropolis, it is seen that our
actual mortality meant gain of 49,
500 lives. Dublin, with one-thirteenth
the population of London, had a rate of
PAS, and on this reckoning we have
gained 10 fewer than 20, 500 lives. The
western capital OF Scotland, Glasgow,
was much healthier than the towns on
the Mersey and the Iiffey, its rate being
2O.2. Even on this figure. the metropolis
shows a gain of 1900 lives.
Some one, however, had made an
actual computation of the marked

from Laurel to Cherry street; Twenty
first from Broad to Grace street; Seven
teenth from Lowndes to Fairfield street.
Charity from First to Second street;
south half of Broad from Adams TO Madi-
son street.
In his report to the committee Colonel
Cutshaw made n number Of recommended
tons. some Of which were as follows:
To widen Marshall street from Gilmer
to about 270 feet west of Graham street,
to widen First street between Duval anu
Baker streets, and First street between
Grace and Marshall streets; TO Widen
Moore street from Brook avenue 10 I'LL
mer street: 10 open Catherine street from
Brook avenue to Monroe. and Catherine
street from Gilmer to Bowe street; TO

Leigh to and beyond Boyd street; 10 open
Sixth street from near Bates street TO
point north of Crouch street; TO open FED
eraI street from Sixth to Seventh street
and to open Buchanan street from
Lownes to Baldwin street.
Plans for the improvement oil the lower
section of Shockoe creek at the DOCK, pre-
pared and recommended TO the Counch
some time ago, were finally acted upon
and the work is now under contract 10 De
finished this year.
Between 400 and 1900 shade trees
raised in the City Nursery at Reservoir
Park were planted in the park and on
the streets of the city. Some steps are
necessary to be taken by the police, ana
the citizens should also assist in pro-
tecting the trees from horses. AT an
other parks very little more than repairs
were made. Colonel Cutshaw reports
that extended Improvements are needed at
CANDLES Hill, Riverside Park, ana espe-
cially at New Reservoir Park, where the
roads, lakes. and tree-planting should be
carried on continuously. so as to have the
full use Of this large public resort.
1t Is expected at an early date to nave
a plan recommended for road from
Chimborazo Park to Fulton. This VIII
open this resort to a large number OF
citizens now practically cut off from IL.
In the James-river Improvement mar
bor) work some steps are urged TOWARDS
the permanent Improvement Of the cnan-
