meat.
The air transformer is of the shell
type, steel incased and especially de-
signed to supply the proper voltage to
the terminals of the tube.
There is beautiful regularity in the
automatic operation of the gas feed
valve The feed valve consists of
| solenoid acting upon IL small iron core
within a glass tube.
When the core Is raised magnetically
from the pool of mercury in which it
rests there is exposed above the Iner-
curry a tiny carbon plug through which
the gas permeates and thus finds its
way to the lighting tube.
This operation of breathing or feed
| ing occurs about once every minute.
There Is cylinder at the right of the
| feed valve which Is the gas generator
! This generator is also automatic in
that it generates extremely small
| quantities of gas and only at the mo-
ment when 1t is required. On either
| side are the electrodes.
| The standard windows" are design
ed for 60 cycle alternating current cir
cults at 800 volts. but may be modified
to suit any desired frequency or volt
age.
The daylight window is Of simple
operation and peculiarly durable con-
struction. The gas generator will re-
quire renewal with the acid and calci-
UNI carbonate when the light has been
used 1000 hours. The light giving tube
has a life which corresponds to about
a years time in normal operation, and
new windows are furnished at nominal
rates in exchange for the old ones as
needed.
The hospital surgeon can perform OPP
erations at midnight as readily as at
MONDAY.
The oculist can prescribe daylight
windows for patients with eyes over
strained from working by gaslight or
electricity.
The explorer in the Arctics can pack
his suit case with daylight and shed

months long.

But now, behold daylight is a do

If the sun gives out, why here's a
recipe for daylight:
Put little carbon dioxide gas in a
vacuum tube and run an alternating

the result Is daylight,
You can carry $50 volts of 1t around

You can install 1t in daylight room

light the other six months for you
when you are ready to turn on the
current.

This daylight is Il vacuum tube cleo

HAssAM APPROPRIATION WILL
 PAVE TO BOSWELL AVENUE.
John Donovan Has Figures to Show 1t Challenges Right of Authorities to
 Stop Short of There.

John Donovan, the former street commissioner and now county road in- spector under Highway Commissioner Macdonald. has been consistent op- ponent of hasSarn paving ever since 1t was first suggested for Norwich, in 1907, and he is still satisfied that the citizens will regret that they voted for the Franklin street hassam Job. With measurements that he obtained from City Engineer George E. Pitcher, MT. Donovan has arrived at the conclusion that the s5,000 voted and appropriated for the job will be ample to run the hassam all the way to Boswell avenue, or the easterly line of Oak street, which was the distance designated in the city meeting. Mir. Donovan challenges the right of the authorities in charge to stop short at the northerly line of the Berry property, as it has been stated they would do
 From his measurements referred to he makes the surface in Franklin street from Bath street to Boswell ave- nue total of 30,991 feet. or 3,443 yards. This shows the whole surface of the street. Deducting from this 1,058 yards which is the part to be paved by the trolley road, gives 2,3s5 yards to be paved by the city. At the contract price of $1,75 per yard this is $4,173.75. To this is to be added HAS feet of ce- ment curbing at 45 cents, a total of $651.50. The curbing and hassam to- gether thus figure $4,S25.35, leaving a balance from the appropriation of $174.65, if the paving were done over the whole distance.
 MT. Donovan has already produced opinions against the hassam pavement, and is now recalling the fact that a committee Of the common council in 1906, consisting of Dr. N. B. Lewis, John T. Young and the late c. D. Sew in, reported against the pavement then after viewing it in Boston, Lynn and Derby.
