ELECTRIC LIGHTS.
Their Use on an important Scale Dates
From 1876,

ThSIr Use on an important Scale Dates
From 1876.
The first experimental philosopher to
discover that electric light could be
produced by dry battery was Sir
Humphry Davy, who in 1910 exhibited
a light Shree inches long, between car
Dor points, before the Royal society Of
London. But no commercial value was
attached to the use Of electricity as an
iluminant until more than half a cen
Jury later. The Centennial exhibition,
held in Philadelphia in 1876, really
marks the era Of our present form
OF electric light, though electric lights
had been in use abroad prior to that
time. The exhibition of models and
practical demonstrations of electric
lights at Philadelphia in 1876 attracted
the attention of scientists and capital
lists in this country, and the first in
candescent lamps and the first arc
system were put to practical use in
a small way in 1878. The Brush arc
light gained favor in the beginning
as the most adaptable for street light
ing, and Cleveland, o., the home of
Charles Francis Brush, the inventor,
was the initial American city to adopt
the arc system for street lighting.
Since 1873 both the Brush arc sys,
TEN and the Edison Incandescent sys-
TEN have develOped.-Marc NJ. Rey

The vexed question Of the future
life of animals has troubled the Mo-

The question, 1t seems, was considered
by Allah a long time ago, and all the
animals were asked If they wished to
enter paradise. They at once said
yes, except the donkeys. These were
