ELECTRICITY AS lLLUMlNANT
Commercial Value Was Not Developed
in This Country Until Afser tho
Centennial Exhibition OF 1876

The Arst experimental philosopher
to discover that electric light could
be produced by dry battery was Sir
Humphry Davy, who in 1910 exhibited
a light three inches long, between car
bon points, before the Royal Society of
London But no commercial value was
attached to the use of electricity as
an illumtnant until more than hnh a
generation later The Centennial ex-
hibition, held In Philadelphia In 1876,
really marks the era Of our present
form of electric light, though electric
lights hmd been in use abroad prior
to that time. The exhibition of modA
els and practical demonstrations of
electric lights at Philadelphia In 1876
attracted the attention of scientists
and capitalists in this country, and the
first incandescent lamps and the FIRST
arc system were put to practical use
in a small way in 1876. The Brush
arc light gained favor in the begin
ming as the most adaptable for street
lighting, and Cleveland, o., the home'
of Charles Francis Brush. the invent
or, was the initial American city to-
adopt tbs, arc system for street light

a heated controversy, has been

annual tax for the maintenance of
the proposed library building. But
there developed so much opposition
to the plan of levying an annual tax
of that amount in perpetuity that the
library board found it impossible to
raise funds through private subscrip-

STATE POPULATION 2.333. $50
Lite Growth Shown in Agricultural
Sections, but Increase for State

Madison.-The announcement is
MADE from the census office at Wash
lngton that the population of the
state Of Wisconsin is 2,333,S6O, in
crease of 264,81S, or 1877 per cent.
This increase is sufficient for one
more congressman.
The population of Wisconsin by
counties will not be compiled. 1t is
apparent that some of the agricul-
tural communities of the state will
show practically no gain over the
census of ten years ago, and that
other agricultural sections will show
a loss
In the last decade Milwaukee
gained 81 per cent, or nearly three
times the percentage of gain for the
state at large. Outside of Milwaukee
the gain for the state was 1926.

Woman's club. at a meeting at which
the principal speaker was ]. c. Jansen,
chief inspector of weights and meas
ures for Milwaukee, who exhibited a
collection of confiscated scales and
measures. Prof. Smith stated the pro-
posed law will provide that any weight
of any kind, if it does not have upon
it tive sealer's stamp, approved, whether
.. X or otherwise, has laid the owner
liable to arrest for a misdemeanor. The
passage of such a law would make
necessary at once the creation Of city
sealer in every municipality not now
having such an official.
