In order to overcome the difficult

producer in staging night scenes in

panics has added to It's equipment q
newly devised portable electric light
ing plant, which is mounted upon a

curry arcs" arc carried. and to sup
plement these in long distance work.
there is mounted in front thirteen
inch navy searchlight. Tho motor
which supplies the electricity to these
lights is run by small automobile en-
gine. and this factor is responsible
for the great compactness. The total
weight is only 5000 pounds.

film for which this machine was used
and because OF the great convenience
of the invention, the company was
able to employ the natural grandeur
of the Grand Canyon Of the Colorado
as the setting.

> SCIENTIFIC LIGHTING IS
VERY VALUABLE ASSET

used in making globes and shades
nc clear glass, frosted glass, opal OF
n.ilk glass and prlsinatic glass. II is
to be remembered that the more ligh,
globe or shade apsorbs. the less
tnere will be to reject and transmit
and conversely the less 1t absorbs the
more light 1t will give. Clear glass
can do no more than protect the IL
luminant, US Is illustrated in the
globes used on many arc lamps. II
SIMPLY lets the light through and does
not even hide the brilliant points OF
light. Frosted glass. which dit1uses,
is not satisfactory because 1t absorps
a great deal Of light and quickly &C
cumulates dust and, dirt on its roughed
surface. This opstructing still more
the passage Of light, causes increased
absorption, which Is waste. Ordinary
opal OF opalescent glass, while II has
high degree of diffusion and refcc-
ton, has NJ the same time SO great an
absorption that it is wasteful. Pris-
matte glass, when new. is the best
reflector known, next to silver mir
ror. and when quantity Of light is
wanted. without regard to softness OF
agreeableness.. 1t is., when new, the
most efficient. Its defects, however
are many.
Glare Is HARMFUL.
The glare from prismatic shades Is
trying 10 the eyes, IL not positively
harmful. Against this injury the eye
defends itself by closing tho pupil
thus causing what amounts to waste
OF light. In order to Offset these diff
ficulties some manufacturers OF this
shade. frost the inner surface. This
lays the prismatici shade open to the
same objection OF wasteful absorption
as the frosted globe, which objection
Is intensified iby the collection of dust
and dust. Due to the construction Of
these shades. frequent cleaning, is re-
quired, necessitating the removal Of
the lamp and shade from the fixture
which means handling, and that of
ten results in the breakage OF the
lamps, as well as the shades. The best
combination Of reflection and diffusion
with the least absorption Is found ir
alba. This is a white glass which
softens the light with very little waste
does not change the color of ligh
source, is an admirable reflection, with,
out sharp shadows or offensive points
Of brilliancy. 1t has smooth sur.
face, which does not accumulate dir,
rapidly and can be cleaned without
soap or water and without removing
from the fixture. It is also in the
most Of its forms, rather handsome
and in some forms highly beautiful
and decorative. e.sss
Glass not only nodifles light, but
places it, that is. distributes and di.
reefs it. This it does according to the
characteristics. particularly the shape
Of the shade or globe which sur.
rounds the lamp.

II. Same Angle.
Persons who return to the Metro

years usually get tho same angle on
Now York life. The average New
Yorker is too busily engaged in tho
fight to retain his position In the bus
mess world to observe the rapid de-
vclopment Of even street illumination
there. Speaking OF tho growth Of eloc-
trio uses, Engineer Stuart said:
"Thc history OF electric lighting is
an intercsting one. Sir Humphrey
Davy. OF London, was tho first to cx7
pertinent in electric lighting with any
definite object in view. In 1909 he
demonstrated the first crude light.
Davy constructed a battery Of 1900
cells to the terminals Of which he at
tached pieces Of charcoal. When these
crude carbons were brought near to
each other bright spark was pro-
diiced and more than half the volume
Of charcoal became ignited to white
ness and by withdrawing the points
from each other a constant discharge
took place through the heated air,
producing brilliant arc of light.
Expensive Experiment.
Until the discovery Of the dynamo,
thirty years later, this arc light was
an expensive experiment. The first
steady and continuous light was dis
covered in 1874 by Foucatilt. French
scientist, who hit upon the plan Of
using the deposits in gas retorts in
place Of the charcoal. The first prac-
tical use OF the new light was made
in the Paris opera house during q per.

cause to laugh which is the best
