15O-candle power street lamps lighted
in Great harrington, Mass, March 90
1885. So unknown was electricity then
that $50 candle power was something
potentially filled with death.
From the Great harrington demon
stration, the announcement states
sprang the worlds present methods OF
generating, distributing and applying
electric power. Before that it had been
believed, and even stated by electrical
engineers, that to light Fifth avenue,
New York City, from Fourteenth street
to Fifty-ninth street, would require a
wire nearly as large as mans leg.
Invented BY iii Man.
In Great Darlington, short time
before the first street light, William
Stanley, age 80, recuperating from a
breakdown due to overwork, strung a
pair of No. wires from deserted
rubber mill.
He stretched them down Main street.
Their inSulatorS were nailed to elm

Solution in next issue.

open was clubs; but now what card to lead? And here's reasoning App pleyard applied:
 It was likely that, between de- clarer and the North hand, they held the ace-queen of clubs. There- fore, any club lead would give de- clarer two tricks. However, there were two combinations that would be detrimental to declarer.
 If dummy held the blank queen of clubs or the ace and one, the lead of the king of clubs would be the proper play, because, with the blank suit would be established im- mediately. If North held the ace and one, then the entry would be killed in dummy. and that probably would prevent declarer from estab- fishing his heart suit.
 So on this theory the king of clubs was opened. and you can see what it did to tOday's hand. De- clarer was not able to get into duir- my to cash the long hearts after that suit had been established.
 Instead of making four odd, the contract was defeated one trick. Copyright les6. NEA Service. Incl
