Washington, Feb 1S-There are

these are the objections urged by GER

readiness to accept an amendment

facts About the New Tuaosteo Lam

Facts About the New Tuaqstea Lamp.
The new tungsten electric lamp,
with which Electrician Tritchler is
refitting and re.lighting a number
of the business places of the city,
and which has of late caused much
attention in Illuminating circles, is
one of the greatest discoveries of
this progressive age because it
means the saving of millions of
dollars to the users of electricity
for illuminating purposes.
Tungsten lamps have completely
revolutionized incandescent light
ing by consuming so little electrical
current in proportion to the candle
power that the burning of the COM
mon incandescent lamps ia wicked
extravaganza in comparison.
In appearance the new tungsten
lamps differ but slightly from the
ordinary incandescent lamps. The
glass bulb and base remain practi.
cally the same. 1t is in the little
"hairpin" where the magical change
takes place. The filament or "hair-
pin" in the ordinary lamp is made
of carbon and looped but once; in
the tungsten lamp it is made of the
rare "tungsten" and looped several
times.
The tungsten lamp will stand
higher temperature and olive"
longer than any other lamp.
1t will give the customer three
times as much light for the same
money as he is paying for the COM
mon electric lamps or the same light
tor one-third the cost.
The light from tungsten lamps is
80 clear and white that colors can be
matched under its rays. There is as
much difference between the new
lamps and the old as between the
old open flame gas jets and the
more modern gas mantle burners.
Mr.. Tritchler has already filled
orders for several of the stores of
the city, and has other orders in
advance which will be attended to
as quickly as time and material will
permit. If you are interested in
economizing on business expenses,
you will look into this proposition
further and become live wire on
the tungsten switch.
