Lamp of 1,5oo,o 600 candIe-Power.

. The problem of the better lighting or
large spaces in New York and along
the North river on both sides has en-
gagged attention for long time; ana
the devising of a light that would
satisfactorily accomplish the desired
object has held out alluring prospects
to ambitious inventors,( 50 writes
Edwin Wildlman in the Technical
World Magazine. This problem has
fascinated the youthful generation,
and the prize seems to have been
grasped by Ralph Scott, of. Newark, an
electrician, barely twenty-five years
old.
This electrical genius is already be-
coming known as a young Edison, ana
he has devoted himself to the produc-
ton of arc lamps of greater power than
those in use. He is especially IN
terested in the question of the lighting
OF large spaces in the most economical
practical manner and with as httie
manipulation as possible. He has been
producing arc lamps of from 4,OOo 10
260.0 candle power; and he easily
holds the lead in this line. His lamps.
are guaranteed to give twelve times
more light than any others Tor the
same amount of current-and if neces-
sary that guarantee might be doubled
But these lamps are infants COM
pared with the one he is installing at
one of the Hobollen railway STATIONS:
1t is of a special size. and is of a
million and a half candle power. The.
light cast by this lamp will be OK
tremely brilliant and will radiate over
an area of more than two miles. The
New York pilots have been holding
meetings to protest against the in
stallation of this light. They say that
while the light within the two-mile
area will be too brilliant, it will make
the darkness outside of the lighted arc
much more pronounced. They forget
that, by the installation of one or two
more of these lamps up and down the
river, that hurry scurry avenue of
waterborne traffic would become as
light as day.
A well illustrated description of this
remark able new invention follows.
