about the entrance Of the ancient inns.
Men and women carried lighted Ian
terms whenever they ventured forth at
night. The rich travelled after sun
down with retinue of armed guards
and a number Of slaves carrying lights.
Turnout the cities link-boys lighted be-
lated travellers to their homes or hos
telries with blazing torches. Not only
were these lights necessary because OF
the intense darkness, the uneven side
walks and the cobblestone pavemerits,
but night let loose an army OF rogues
who, under cover OF the darkness,
stopped not at robbery, assault or even
murder.
1t is true that Broadway, New York,
now world famous as the Great White
Way, was even more notorious in the
eighteenth century as the daily scene
of robberies, murders and other nefar-
ious work of ruffians. Broadway, at
that time. was darker than the pro-
verbal stack of black cats and it was
absolutely unsafe for any one to travel
on the street after dark unless accom-
panied by an armed guard and lights.
Today it is a veritable fairyland by
night with mile after mile Of brilliant
electric lights, dazzling in every color
of the rainbow, and Respondent in all
the glory of artificial illumination.
AS one strolls along the brilliantly il
Illuminated streets of our cities it seems
almost impossible that hundred years
ago street lighting was practically I'M
known, and by a great many of our
forefathers street lighting was bitterly
opposed.
1t was the American revolution
which brought about this great change.
The seven years war gave freedom to
the common people and made all men
equal under the law. Previous to this
great event the private classes held
sway and the common people suffered
accordingly. They We're deprived of
many of their rights and were even
forbidden in most cities to walk the
streets at night after the curfew rang
except upon the most urgent business.
Only the upper classes were allowed to
fare forth as they pleased after dark.
Perhaps this was more strictly true of
European cities at that time than in

America. The rich always had coaches
and horses and plenty of slaves to light
their way 80 they did not feel such
great necessity for street lighting.
In only very few OF the larger cit
les of the United States was any at
tempt made to light the streets prior
to the revolution. IN Philadelphia New
York and Boston a few street lamps
were maintained at public expense on
the principal thoroughfares. These
lamps burned vegetable or sperm oil.
They gave but feeble light and re-
quired considerable attention.
Soon after 1883 the common councils
of the various American cities voted to
have the main streets lighted. Open
flame oil lamps were used. burning for
the most part, sperm oil AT best they
gave Pickering light which served
more as q beacon to pilot one along
thru the darkness than as an actual
source OF illumination. Lanterns We're
still carried and every coach was
equipped with side lamps.
Sperm oil was too scarce to be an
economical source of light for streets
and very little progress was made In
street lighting until the great oil fields
OF Pennsylvania were opened. In the
early sos the new mineral oil began to
be used very extensively and IN a few
years every city was dimly lighted with
oil lamps. A number of small villages
turnout the country still use these oil
lamps to light the streets.
But oil lamps gave way before the
open flame gas light and for a number
of years gas companies were organized
all over the country and tho streets
of the larger cities were all lighted
with gas flame lamps.
But another and a better light was
even then being completed. Way back
in 1909, when the world was still CROP
ing in darkness, Sir Humphrey Davy,
OF London, was experimenting with the
electric arc But the first electric street
light the Thomson Houston system,
was not perfected until 1881. Since then
the development of the arc lamp by
that company and its successor, the
General Electric company has been
steady until the finished product to-
day gives the nearest possible APP

Growing Sweet Clover.
(Humboldt Republican,

(HumDOlQG RepuDliCduJ
Your clipping in last weeks Repub-
lican regarding Judge Quarton's in
tended experiment with sweet clover
leads me to believe that our work here
at Humboldt college may be of interest
to some. A few years ago Mr.. j. N,
Prouty had about two acres of very
poor land seeded to sweet clover. For
some time the closer was stocked OUT
side and poorly cared for. Now sweet
clover is very rich in both sugar and
protein and hence the bacteria prey
upon it more than upon other hay But
I had some placed each year for three
wears in one corner of my hay NOW
This 1 fed in May and June the next
year I found each year that my
horses prefer a certain amount of it
rather than either June grass hay OF
timothy.
Four years ago 1 plowed up the piece
that Mr.. Prouty seeded and without
other fertilizer, it gave two corn crops
with the largest corn on the place. II
was then seeded down to clover and
timothy but the sweet clover was sc
large and rank that I cut it this season
about the fifteenth of June, and stacked
it in the field. Now my stock is eating
it from the stack in preference to
alfalfa, clover or timothy hay and
while on alfalfa and clover pasture,
am satisfied from six years expert
menting with it that it is one OF the
most valuable of feeds for animals re-
During such as dairy cows. brood
mares and colts. 1t is second only to
alfalfa as a soil enricher But it is
more easily killed than alfalfa. 1t fact
you kill the growing sweet clover stems
but cutting them just as the blossoms
come, but you Multiply the alfalfa
stems by cutting them at the same
stage in their Development
Hundreds of tons of feed one and
one-half pound of which is equal to
one pound of bran, are going to waste
along the road of Humboldt county
every year. But 1 do not believe as
rule sweet clover can be kept outside
any more than bran can.
