 Het Up 25 Years Ago

The introduction into the New Brit ain police department of the pocket searchlights which are so valuable in the work of the department at night, is described in an item in the Herald printed from paper dated December 10, 1898. 25 years ago today. The item speaks of new device which was then intended for the use of the police officers and the description shows that evidently up to that time, electric searchlights were unknown.
 The item reads "A very handy de- vice for the use of the policemen is now on exhibition at the police sta- ton. It consists of leather case about eight inches in length, with a glass top and a small incandescent light inside. The device is evidently intended for the policemen making searches at night, for by pressing a ring a bright light appears. The de- vice can be carried in the pocket"
