On the subject Of wiring, 7 would
like to say q few words right here.
There are several different methods
Of connecting up and switching posts.
Some cities have used an under

they pull a braided rubber covered
wire. Other cities have used an un-
foreground iron conduit through
which they pulled lead covered
cable, while most generally used is
the steel tapped Suburban cable, Of

ORNAMENTAL STREET LIGHTING
Being the Remarks of w. D. Anthony Before
the Willmar Commercial Club,

now flaming ornamental posts.

now flaming ornamental posts.
Like all great movements, orna-
mental street lighting starts in u
small way. Some progressive mcr-
chant gets lights around his store,
then the merchants on the street find
themselves literally forced to fall in
line, then it is another street, and
another until beautiful standards
with their frosted glass globes
stretch out over the entire business
section, and the city becomes veri-
table garden Of glory. What is the
result? Travellers coming into city
always notice the ornamental lights
and travellers carry tales. II city
is poorly lighted, that city is put
down as "dead one;" if the city is
we'll lighted, that is the first thing
one hears about it A city is adver-
tised by it's lights. When people
from IL city, which has ornamental
lights, are travelling, you will always
hear them talk about the lights. 1t
affords a topic Of conversation about
Il city. No one can talk about u
place unless he has II topic, and
pleased travellers are the best ad-
vcrtising medium u city has for they
are so much blank space unless they
have a topic.
Today every progressive city in
the United States having a popula-
ton Of over 10000 is considering or
ramental lights. When a Board Of
Trade or u Boosters Club, or what
ever the local patriotic organization
may be called, begins to consider
seriously what can be done to make
tue city grow, it usually begins to
consider the ornamental lighting
problem. Then the lights are up, the
people are so much pleased with the
now impetus that the city improve
ment has received that they go on
and attempt other improvements.
Take Minneapolis for example, the
Publicity Club, a club of advertising
men, appointed committee to inves-
tigate the ornamental lights for Mic
ollet Avenue and the lights were put
up, but before the Nicollet Avenue
project was completed, merchants on
other streets demanded lights and
the factory was given a continuous
order for its utmost capacity. Be-
fore one-fourth Of the down town
streets were lighted, the factory had
inquiries from nearly all Of the nd
jacent cities about ornamental lights.
We have furnished hundreds Of
these standards during the last three
years, which has kept this particular
department of our business running
to its utmost capncity. In january
1910 two now factory buildings were
given up entirely to one particular
type Of ornamental lamps, the Cor
inthian, with IN average capacity Of
5000 posts per year.
What we want to discuss is the
requirements Of ornamental lighting,
and how they may be met by a par
ticular lights, which, our years Of OK

Street lighting was first introduce
ed as IL preventative of crime. That
was in London in 1876. Robbcrics
and murders were increasing daily,
and those who dared venture out at
night went around with lantern boys.
AS soon as oil lamps were put up, u
great reduction in crime was MOTTO
cd. 1t was Benjamin Franklin, who
in 1889, first introduced street light
ing into America. Franklin's sole
argument was the prevention Of
crime. In 1903, Windsor, Il German,
succeeded in showing how he pro-
posed to light all Of London by set
ting up row Of gas lamps in Pail
Mall BY 1888, 2l5 miles Of streets
were lighted by gas. Most Of this
lighting is still done, by gas for clcc-
tricity for street lighting is not yet
is years old. 1t was not until the
dawn Of the Goth century that or
namcntal street lights were consid-
ered to mean, what in the terms OF
the age is known us business boost
ers. In fuct, SO fur us we know, we
were tho first people who advertised
along these lines.
Tho object Of my talk tonight is
to convince you that u certain style
OF street lights is the city's best ad
vertisement. In these progressive
days of all kinds Of evening amuse-
monts, midnight cafes, and night
banks, late rising hours and much
later bed time, the progressive met
ropoIitnn spends fully one-third Of
his life, in artificial light. We've be-
come so accustomed to this manner
OF living and artificial lighting has
been so perfected in the few years,
that it is hard to realize the fact.
Progressive merchants have long
since realized that the man who las
the bost lighted front makes the best
impression. Hundreds OF illuminate
cd sign devices have sprung up. The
city thoroughfare is lined with these
glaring eye catches. This, in way,
is street lighting, though neither Or
namental or satisfactory, and is by
a long ways not satisfactory to ev-
cry merchant on the street. The re-
suit has been systematic ornamental
lighting. Wherever this has been
tried, there has immediately been an
increase Of business on the street.
Retail shoppers, as you no doubt arc
aware, are very sensitive to such
things" and customers have often
been DETECTED by this method. 1t is
common saying that the trade fol-
lows the lights. Perhaps this is the
reason retail trade as well as any
other class follows everything pro-
gressive. They reason that the man,
who does business on the most pro-
gressive street, must have the most
progressive goods There is nothing
that will make a merchant dress up
his windows more quickly, and moth
ing, which will make the city clean
up its street SO readily as row Of

Blood Temperature Of Athletes.

Blood Temperature Of Athletes.
There have been made ut the Lon
don College hospital some curious OBJ
servations on the blood temperature
Of athletes. The normal blood tenn
perature Of man Is about 99.11 degrees
+. A Young man after a run Of 200
yards showed a temperature Of 100.76
degrees, another temperature of
1O0.94 degrees and third tempera-
ture OF 1922 degrees after run Of
half mile. A mile run produced an
internal temperature of 1923 degrees
with one athlete and 1886 degrees
with another. After three mile run
one young man had temperature Of
105 degrees. but this runners normal
blood temperature was 101 degrees in

oIlHe lHCO IHo approaching peQeS-
TRANS eyes; if any higher the illum-
nation on the sidewalk would not be
strong enough. . .
We have experimental with clus-
tors to find out which are the most
economical and at the same time the
most ornamental. We have found
that a cluster of five globes, four of
them IL inches in diameter and tho
center one Is inches in diameter, ft-
ted with the most improved 100 Watt
Tungsten lamps, will give more light
for less money than anything yet
discovered. This gives each stand
ard a capacity Of 4O0-C. P. A light
OF 35O-C. p. has a radial capacity
Of l25 feet in all directions. 10 make
the light continuous so that there are
no dark spots, the standards should
be placed rs to 100 feet apart. Low
er standards with less powerful
lights means more standards and
more current.
Novices designing ornamental
street lights have produced stands
ards Of all shapes, sizes; types and
dimensions. One Of the most COM
mon mistakes is that Of having the
lights hang down instead of being
up-turned. 1t might be compared
with a stream Of water from a hose.
Direct it down and it plays on only
Il small space on the sidewalk but if
directed up, it radiates over Q large
area. Walk down street illuminat-
ed with our lights and you will be
surprised at the lack Of the. extreme
ly bright spots just under the stand
ards and Of any dark spots between
the standards.
In solving the problem Of orna-
mental street lighting, we have first
considered the proposition Of light
ing and then the problem of orna-
mentation. There is hardly any word
which is so abused as the word Cor
nament." Over ornamentation> is a
mockery to true art. 1t will be seen
by the cuts, which I have passed
around that every part Of this Flour
City ornamental standard, the Cor
inthian, is taken from classic mo-
tives. Every part is purely Grecian.
The column is the simplest form Of
Corinthian, tho last and highest form
of Grecian Art. Tho arms are cast
with tho Grecian key. Every part
has reasons and the principal roas-
ons are beauty and strength. These
majestic standards with their FROST
cd globes given q uniformity Of beau
ty to tho city streets in the day time
US we'll us at night, which nothing
else can give.
Another important reason in the
requirements Of ornamental lighting
Is q standard, which is absolutely
durable, which will last for genpr-
atoms, and which onuHot get out Of
ord 4, The standards, | have at
tamptol to describe, arc cast of the
highest grade. Of iron md are made
in three different sizes, 0O0-lbs., 500
lbs, md l000-lhs. Tho bases are

globes nre of hnil-proof opalescent
glass, frosted on the inside, and the
only repair necessary is coat OF

wiring is simple and comparatively
inexpensive. z.

perience and unsurpassed facilities
have evolved. We have given the
problem Of ornamental lighting a
careful study. We have spent thou
sands of dollars in experiment.
The first thing one must consider
is the street to be lighted. BY the
street we mean not only the road
proper but the entire street between
the walls Of the buildings on either
side from the ground to the heavens
throughout the entire length to be H.
Illuminated. 1t is a problem Of equal
radiation through the entire area.
Three mistakes are often made at
the outset. Some think the lights
