The arc light and the incandescent
light differ wholly in principle, in
brilliancy. in appearance and in the

ference to an ordinary observer be-
tween arc and incandescent lights may
be briefly stated thus: Arc lights burn
in the open air with carbon stick or
pencils. the points or ends Of which
are heated to a white heat and grad
ually consumed.
Incandescent lights, on the contrary,
are produced inside small glass globes
of various shapes from which the air
has been exhausted. These lights are
caused by the passage Of electricity
through nne resisting wire or thread,
which is thereby raised into a white
or incandescent light without being
consumed on account Of the absence
of air. If air leaks in the filament
