houses, where the use of electric
lamps presents some disadvantages.
The lamp in question has number
of filaments mounted somewhat after
the fashion of the fbres OF an IN
candescent gas mantle. In this way a
very strong light is secured which,
moreover, has the desirable property
of being very uniform in all parts OF
the circumference According to re-
cent trials, the new type OF lamp
gave twenty times as much light as
a Welchbach burner and required
very little attention. Inc lamp is par
