Improved Lamp.

Special TO the Indianapolis Journal.
MUNCIE, Ind, July 29.-The city is con-
templating purchasing approximately 200
new electric arc lights Of the kind known
as the Warner arc light, an invention OF
w. F. Warner, superintendent Of the city
electric light plant in this city. To the
end that the change may be made as soon
as possible. the City Council has appointed
a committee TO look into the matter with
the view of determining exactly the cost
of the change.
Mr.. Warner claims for his invention that
the lamp will save for the city in one year
ore than their total cost. The lamn re-
ouireS new carbons only once every twelve
or fifteen days. The light emitted, because
of the small inclosed globe which pre-
vents the light rays from cooling, is said
to be more intense than that of any other
lamp on the market. 1t is estimated that
by the of this light the services Of
one trimmer may be dispensed with and
5000 year saved in the purchase Of car
bons. To install the new lamps will cost
