one of the innovations at Buffalo will be the
exclusive Of incandescent lamps for lighting
the grounds. The lamp conspicuous a
feature in Jackson Park at Chicago, eight years
ago. will be practically unknown at the Pan
American out Of doors except in the very out
skirts of the exposition grounds. 1t will be
used there only to illuminate the twenty-foot
sllley which encircles the exposition. and which
is to be patrolied at night by the police. Inside
the principal buildings where intensity and not
beauty is the desideratum lights Will also
be employed in abundance.
HOW THE LIGHT WILL BE DIFFUSED.
The general lighting of the grounds will be
effected by placing incandescent lights on
fifteen hundred posts. The posts are of two
sizes. The shorter about eight and
half feet high and are surmounted by cluster
of bulbs. The taller posts have lamps their
sides as well at the top These less
rnerous than the others and placed at points
of special Importance. The number of lamps
