and we're furnishing $50 lamps on a
contract that had still five years Of
its original ten to run. They received
orders and locations from the city to
place ninety-eight new lamps and az
about the same time were awarded
the East Dubuque street lighting
contract.
They were, therefore, confronted
with the proposition Of spending be-
tween five or six thousand dollars in
new and additional transformer equip
circuits about the city so as to make
seven circuits where there had been
five; or the alternative Of scrapping
the old lamps (many of which had
seen fifteen years service) and
spending seventy-f1ve hundred dollars

equipment just as they were. except
as the latter had to be extended to
accommodate the added lamps. They
chose the latter and secured the con.
sent of the city council to do 30 be-
cause they were able to promise
them better and more satisfactory

with a good deal of faith, being toll
=. IF that
average life Of 1850 hours per lamp
might be expected consequently
they figured on three renewals a year
for each lamp in OF der to be safe.
Work was commenced in August
1914 and they were installing the
new lamps until November, though
TENDER and early October. There are
lamps and "a Of the 600 C. p. lamps.
all lighted on an every night, all
night schedule. The renewals to date,
in a few hours Of installation because
of defects, have been $500 c. p.
and / 400 c. D. Many of the original
lamps are still in service and show
lives Of we'll over 2.v00 hours-in fact
the average life of all the lamps is
above that figure. while the lamps
which have burned the longest show
a G.minution in candle power, the
light is still superior in quality to the
light furnished by the old type of

ment, which permits raising the op.
Grating temperature slightly without
increased evaporation OF the fila
ment. This Is similar to the boiling
point of water in assteam boiler un.
der pressure being much higher than
2lx degrees.
A very slight increase In tempera.
ture produces a tremendous increase
in light, SO that the efficiency is
greatly improved, and the high can.
dlepower new units are about twice
as efficient light as the small size
vacuum lamps.
Putting gas in the lamp has the
added advantage, in that the hot gas
rising and circulating in the bulb de-
posts the evaporated particles Of the
filament in the upper part of the bulb
SO that the lower part remains clear
throughout the life Of the lamp there
by maintaining. the candle power in
the lower useful direction.
There Is a disadvantage however,
in using gas. The filament once
heated must be kept heated to in
candescence, and the electrical en-
ergy consumed by the lamp repre-
sents the amount Of heat lost and
light radiated. In a vacuum lamp,
pTdCtlcally the only way the neat 10
lost is by radiation through the
vacuum, the filament having a ten
dency to stay hot as does hot coffee
in vacuum bottle. In gas filled
lamp, the heat Is conducted as we'll
as radiated away, and the finer fila
ments in the lower wattage lamps
are more easily cooled by the gas
than the thick filament high wattage
lamps. The lower wattage lamps
therefore, require more energy to
maintain the same temperature as
the higher wattage lamps, and for
this reason are not as efficient. How
ever, even II in low wattage lamp
the efficiency were no better than
that Of a vacuum lamp of the same
wattage (giving the same candlepow-
er) the light would be whittier and
more attractive than the vacuum
lamp.

steel or wrought iron. and plain, not
iiuteu. as the fluted enamel cracks
much more readily than the plain,
due to the expansion and contraction
under extreme weather conditions.
The bottom Of the refractor and
the bottom Of the lamp should be
carefully protected by properly de.
signed bug screens, as bugs in the
refractor and other parts of the hood
are hard to remove, and cut down
the lighting efficiency of the unit.
There are two kinds of cut-outs
available. One Is the film or penny
cut-out, which goes at the top Of the
socket between two lips. The other
Is silk washer between the socket
supports and terminals. Both of
these generally have to be replaced
when the lamp burns out, and the in
sorting OF new lamp means putting
IN new cut-out devices.
A very essential matter in the con.
struction Of a proper street hood is
the ease by which the lamp and cut
out may be replaced
None of the hoods have entirely
eliminated this trouble and ~n be
very much improved along some new
and practical lines.
The writer has tried five or six DIFF
ferent types Of hood and has tried to
select the defects in each one and
suggest an ideal condition We ex-
pect to have some hoods in service
within few weeks which will fulfill
all these requirements.

This shows that the carbon lamp
is rapidly going out. The Gem Is be-
ginning to disappear, the business go,
ing over to Mazda lamps. In total
numbers of lamps, the business to-
day just about doubles what 1t ~as
ten years ago ,A905) SO that the
lighting business is still healthy
one in itself. Compared, however, TO
electric power business it has not
grown as rapidly, and If 1t continues
az it has In the past instead OF look.
inr for power load to MI in the OFF
peak lighting load, central stations
will soon be looking for lighting
load to fill in the off peak power load:
The new Mazda G lamps being OF
higher wattage tLan the most gener'
ally used lamps and OF such high
efficiency and attractive quality OF
light, are just the, means OF increas-
Ing such a load, and as they are the
most recent development in lamps,
description of them and their posi-
bilities will be Of interest.

Can BE Supplied for Less.

The recent reduction in prices has
made the renewal cost Of these lamps
not much more than for other lamps
on cost per klowatt hour basis.
and on account Of their being big
revenue producers to the lighting
companies. they can be economically
supplied free of COST The installa-
ton of one Of these lamps is, in prac-
tically every instance, an additional
installation, an extra revenue, and
therefore energetic sales campaigns
for their installations are well worth
while. and what's more they are
burned more hours per day than any
other type Of lamp.
Whenever a new lamp Is put on the
market, the electrical jobber and
dealers are the first to promote their
sale. These lamps have not differed
from others in this respect, and yet
many central stations have not seen
the tremendous opportunity of in
creasing their sales Of current by
means Of this lamp. The general way
in which the lamps have been sold is
bv store to store canvass by the
electrical dealer who demonstrates
the lamp by temporary installation,
coming around in a day or SO to take
