The letter carriers have purchased
new electric lamps for use when max
ing their deliveries In appearance the
lamps look very much like a closed
spy glass. They are Of the same size
and are covered with morocco. The
resemblance is further carried out in
the bulls eye tense in one end There
is n nickel ring at the side and this,
when pressed. closes the circuit and
the lamp gives forth very brilliant
though small light. Power is furnish
ed by a small dry battery in the ma
chine ana the power Of the light is
further magnified by conical retlec
tor. similar To that in use in a loco
motive. The electric lamp that gives
the light is about the size Of the end

a perfect GodSend to the carriers. In
the past il has been their custom to
carry lanterns. late in the fall. that
they may he able to make out the ad-
dresses on the mail that they deliver.
The lanterns have proved a perfect
nuisance To the carriares for the rea-
son that their uniforms become stain
ed with oil. With the electric lamp
there will not be the slightest trouble.
The carriers used the lamps last even
ing. for the first time.
