AN ACHIEVEMENT IN
THE MODERN SCI
ENCE OF LIGHTING

With advanced civilization come new
problems that receive the undivided at
tention of specialists. One of these
problems is the lighting of stores,
offices, churches and large areas with
gas at a nominal expense. Incandescent
burners for artificial lighting have
been used for years, but they are in
adequate in the majority of cases.
Makers have resorted to the clustering
of lights, the use of reflector shades
and such methods, never believing that
the day would come when lamps equal
to electric lamps would be used.
An arc for gas has recently appeared
in Worcester that is making a sensa
tion in lighting circles. The lamp has
a burner that is far in advance of any
styles previously sold by any of the
incandescent manufacturers. The prin-
ciple of the burners is that they create
a forced draft and also super-heat the
gas several hundred degrees, which
greatly expands the gases, increasing
the temperature of combustion and
effecting a great economy and in
creased efficiency.

SOUTHBRIDGE

The electric road to Worcester NAV
not be completed as soon as some of
the more hopeful ones expected, but
when the road is running the towns
it runs through will have a road that
will pay them for the time it has re-
quired to build it. The new line will be
equal to and in every way as service
able as a steam railroad would be di-
rect to Worcester, and has been built
and has the privilege of carrying
freight. The extensive work of cutting
and building the road in the towns
near Worcester has delayed the work
some. but a large force will be kept
at work every day that work can be
done until the completion of the line.
The most doubtful ones who have
watched the work, put March first as
the latest date for the running of the
first car and some of the more sangu-
inc hope that the date will be earlier.

young church worker in the South

Leicester, Nov. Halloween was

folks predicted that there was trouble
ahead, In the earlier hours of the

and numerous obstacles were placed

of the joke hid behind the adjoining
fences and waited. When a car came
along the motorman applied the brakes
and reversed the motor and succeeded
in stopping the car about one foot be-
fore the dummy was reached. He soon
saw his mistake. But he had received
a severe shock that had been anything
but funny for him. A little nearer the
city line an old picket fence was thrown
across the rails, and but for the watch
fulness of the motorman there might
have been a serious accident.

Special to The Spy.
Fitchburg, Nov. Very few Fitch
burg people were aware that the
strange rocking of houses and rattling
of dishes at about 10. 10 o'clock Thurs
day evening was caused by an earth
quake shock Those who had retired
noticed the vibrations more than those
who had not gone to bed. Some dressed
and went out to their stables to see
if any of the horses had fallen down
and caused the noise. One man when
aroused by the shock called out
"Hello!" in a very brave voice, con-
WINGED that the house was invaded by
burglars. Others also thought their
homes were invaded by thieves.
A woman who resides in the suburbs
was in her sitting room, where there
is a spinning wheel. She AYERS that
the shock revolved the wheel several
times. Conservative estimates give
the duration of the shock at three
quarters of a minute.
The shock was plainly felt in Leom-
inster Lunenburg citizens were also
aroused.

The Humphrey" gas arc lamp is
said to give a larger volume of light,
better diffused and steadier than an
electric arc. This statement may seem
to be somewhat exaggerated. but those
who have seen the light in operation
are loud in their praise. The consump
tion of the lamp is IA to 10 feet per
hour and with dollar gas the expense
of the powerful light is but one and
one-half cents per hour. 1t certainly
seems probable that this arc for gas
should be widely used by those who
want better lighting for the same or
less than present charges.
