ELECTRIC ELIMINATION.
Free Lecture Last Evening to Re Re.


 While the lecture and demonstration of electric illumination by c Walter Jones Illuminating engineer of The Holophane company of New York, was free and given in the temporary show room and lecture room 6T Cen ter street of the United Illuminating Co of this city and under It's aus pices, it was a lecture and 1emonstra- ton of exceeding merit and interest.
 In announcing the public invitation it was extended to business men: the talk and demonstration last evening being on store illumination The room did not accommodate one-tenth ofI those wno sought admission. The talk was informal and devoid. as far as possible, of technical expressions. The preliminary remarks showed that while a few years ago electric com panles sold electricity. to-day they are selling illumination and seeking toI produce the very best at the lowest cost. That this effort has produced il- uminatlnC engineers and raised thel subject Co that of a science. Mir Jones' showed and spoke of the Eliaon lamp perfected and put on the market twenty-eisht years ago. showed and spoke of the several improvements in electric lamps up to their highest present culmination in the great Tungsten lamp; showed and demon- strated the various candle power and the watts of electricity used by each and thereby the immense savings in cost and almost marvellous ilmmna- ton the Tungsten lamps produce He showed the number of units of llgnt as they diverged from the various lamps in different directions, He showed the great waste of light
 l He took up the matter of various l light refectors, showed up those that were made on incorrect principles re- nectors with artistic and plain and con trasted with these the scientific Holo- 1 phane refectors. His ocular demonstra- l tions were almost incredible. His talk and demonstration revealed to every one present that the subject Of ilumin- ation is one that appeals most strongly
 
 everyone who uses artificial light, The advancement made in the Tungsten l lamp and the Hooplane renectors was revelation Without mentioning names he spoke of the enormous waste and lamentable lack of effectiveness displayed in the lighting of some of our local stores
 The power of the Holoplane reflector and the combination of power and ar tIstlc beauty of some of them showed what wonderful art and science have been combined in their production, He showed the lights and refectors recent l ly installed in the treasury building and white house in Washington,
 He showed a faulty desk reflector that an oculist In Chicago said had brought hundreds of dollars into his office, and showed whereby that same reflector could be used benehcially, He showed the great color value and great durability of the Tungsten lamp,
