The Searchli8ht
Economy of Tungsten Lights.

The comparative economy OF tungsten
filament electric lights as compared with
the old-style carbon lamps has brought
them a tremendous popularity in a very
short time. Electrical engineers. how
ever. are devoting much time to devising
possible improvements. The tungsten
filaments are likely to break very easily.
1t has been found that this breakage can
be greatly reduced by washing or wip,ng
the bulbs when they are lighted instead
of when they are dark. since the tung-
stem fiiamentS are much more brittle
when cold than when heated
However. a greater number of tungsten
lamps are put out OF business because
the inside of the bulb becomes blacIened
than by actual breakage of the filaments
This blackening or the inside of the bull
is caused by the inevitable inclusion IN
