A POWERFUL LIGHT.
The Flaming Arc Outclasses An
Other Illuminants.

The Flaming Arc Outclasses An
Other Illuminants.
"The flaming arc is now with us and
probably to stay" says the Electrical
World. Its appearance is somewhat
startling, even to q hardened technOlo-
gist. 1t looms up from the street like
q compressed conflagration, making the
ordinary arcs look like blue candles.
while the gaslights and ordinary in
candescents have beside 1t about the
apparent luminosity of white bean.
The splendid pale golden hue of the
light looks queer at first to the eye that
has gradually become accustomed to
the BLUSH light of the inclOsed arcs, but
the effect, save for the unpleasantly
great brilliancy, is altogether good.
The common globe is totally untitled
for dealing with source Of so enor-
nous brillancy and should be replaced
by a very strong diffusing globe Of at
least double the ordinary diameter.
1.-THE loss of light thus incurred is q
very trivial matter, considering the
enormous efficiency Of the flaming arc.
To put the facts conservatively. it gives
five to ten times as much light per watt
as the common inclosed arc. For the
first time in the history Of electric light
ing one sees in commercial use on the
street lamps that can be rated at 1000
candlepOwer without the need Of any
photometric apologies. They complete
~ outclass any other illuminant Of
human devising 80 for a. efficiency Is

The story has to do with a charming
young girl who was led away by an

heart, but is made intensely angry by
an older brother, the head of the house.

and tries to drive where he should
lead. AS her companions are rapidly
drawing her to moral destruction.

leaf.
The play is deliberately mounted and
is interpreted by cast Of EXCEPTIONAL
ly clever people. Prices 25c CSC. and

Some of the trains were off time yes
terday because of the heavy travel
which has been the case for the greater
part Of the time during the past two
weeks. The great number of people
from other states who have been pass
ing the summer in Maine and also the
crowds which attended the fairs at
Bangor and Lewiston. We're the cause,
and the fair which commenced at Wat
erville Tuesday is now doing it's part.
Train No. g. which leaves Augusta for
the west at 9.42 A. NJ. was about half
hour off the schedule yesterday fore
noon. which was due to the fact that
the train was made up of 16 cars as far
as Waterville and had on board over
HOO people, many of whom were going
to the fair. Train No. 10. going east
from Augusta at 800. was also behind
time. 1t was late out of Portland and
as it had lot of "deadhead" cars more
time was lost on the way east. 1t was
nearly a half hour late into Augusta,
and as it had to wait for the second
section Of No. 102 it was nearly 40 min
utes late out of here.
