John Hollingshead was the first man
to use electric light In London. In
1873 he installed six arc lamps at the
old Gaiety theater and startled the
Strand. The price of gas shares fell
Immediately. The cost of the lamps
was 5000 a week, and he ran them for
nine months. An attempt to plant one
inside the thenter at the foot of the
grand staircase was n failure. The
women objected to the fierceness OF
the light. One of them. for instance,
pretended to be very anxious that the
secret of her soft complexion should
not be discovered" Professor Eras-
mus Wilson said of electric light at
that time. with regard to the electric
light, much has been said for and
against 1t, but think may say, with.
out fear OF contradiction, that when
the Paris exhibition closes the electric
light viii close with It, and very little
more will be heard about It," Mr..
Hollingshead. by the way, had fitted
up the Gaiety as early as 1869 with
an electric searchlight. which flashed
the length Of the Strand But he soon
withdrew that for fear of soaring the
horses

been found by Layard at Nineyeh.
