TUNGSTEN LAMP
VERY POPULAR

Tungsten Is the name of the new
electric lamp which the
passenger and Power Cimpany Is pre-
pairing to introduce for the benefit of
its patrons. Tungsten is new metal
used in the place of carbon in the old
style incandescent lamps. The adyant-
age is that it gives more intense
light with the same consumption of
electricity. These lamps are for use In
stores offices, factories and workshops
and are. too powerful for regular home
use They can best be used on arc or
clusters. In stores the new lamp is
especially good, as colors can be
matched which heretofore could only
be done in daylight. Light from a
tungsten lamp is the nearest approach
to daylight of any artificial illuminate
Ing agent known to-day. and Is the re-
Isult of years of experimenting by eX-
perts.
New supply Brought Here.
Until quite recently the metal was
so scarce that 1t was impossible to
obtain sufficient quantities for COM
mercial purposes. General Superin-
tendent George II. Whitfield. of the
light and power department. OF the
Passenger and Power Company, has
fitted one side of the general office
building. Seventh and Main Streets,
with the new lamps and the offices
are open every evening and opened for
inspection. Those interested will find
| someone there until 10 O'Clock every
evening to explain the workings OF the
new lamp. In these offices four arc
lamps Were used together with large
number of incadescents on the desks.
Now thirty tungsten lamps have dis
placed all. the improvement being
marked. Owing to the intensity of
power. the globe and the shade are
frosted to prevent discomfort to the
eyes, the lamps also being placed high
above the horizontal line of Vision.
The company has ordered another
new incandescent lamp for homes. ThiS
| is known as the tantalum lamp, also
made of newly discovered metal. and
while as intense In It's lighting quail
tiesyyet can be made small enough for
home use.
Since the tungsten lamp has been In
| troduced here. numbers of owners OF
factories and stores have called and
watched them in use and many orders
Ihave been placed. In every instance
where the new lamp can be used it has
proven immensely beneficial. and in
other cities is so popular that the de-
mand keeps well UP with the suppl,
| or allotment.
