Bpeaklng of this jmsso of modern ndvance, T, K.

Mr. Btuart, like other former New York rs who return to thn metropolis after being away for many year, was nmazed ty the Immenae atrlde In eletcrlcal de velopment to be found In tho "White Way." Speaking of the wondrous lighting pro irress, ns Impressed upon him nlnce his re turn, Mr, Stuart said: 1IUMFIIIU3Y DAVY, riONKKIl Tho rapid stride today In tho field of electricity are no less wondrou or Inter sting than the atory of electrla lighting Itself. Sir Humphrey Davy, of Jomton. "was the first to experiment In electrla lighting with any deflnlto object In view. In HOJ ho demonstrated the first crude light. lie constructed n battery of 3000 cell to the terminal of which ha attached pieces of charcoal. When these crude car bon were brought near to each other a bright spark wn produced and moro than Jialf the volume of the charcoal became Ig nited to whiteness, nnd by withdrawing the points from, each other a constant dis charge took place through tho heated air. producing a brilliant aro of light, "Until the discovery of the dynamo, thirty years later, thl nro light was an expensive experiment. The first steady nnd contin uous light was discovered In 1814 by Kou cault, a French scientist, who hit upon the Ijlnti of using the deposit In 'gas retort In place of the charcoal. Tho first practical us of tho new light wan made In the Paris ' Opera House during n performance of the opera "Mose,1' when nn "electric sun" was used. "JTATIIEIt OK AIIC I.inilTINO" , "JS. T, Gramme, a Ilelglan Inventor living in Paris, In 170 obtained his first patent en dynamo electrla machines and exhibited hi work to the Academy of Science In 1171. He Is credited with being the fnthsr of the modern aro lighting, nlthough arc lighting had been accomplished by older machines before the day of Orninme. "Werner Siemens and Sir Chnrles Wheat Stone, of England, Improved the dynamo In 1867 by doing away with tho permanent magnet nnd substituting colls of wire about v soft Iron coro. Prof, Moses d. Farmer, an American Inventor living In Sntem, Mass., obtained tho same results In 1SC0. "Early electrlo lighting was accomplished by direct current, as alternating current did not come Into use until a score of year . later. Lighthouse In the Straits of Dover were equipped with nrc lights In 185S and 1812, and similar work was accomplished In France In the latter year. "Jnylochkoff In 1878 patented n simple mechanism which considerably advanced aro lighting. HI Invention consisted of 'tvro vertical sticks of carbon separated slightly by an Insulating material which was consumed at tho same time a the car bons. These lamps soon were lighting the Streets here and abroad. ADVANGH IN MCIIITINO AnT "A short time later Charles F, Ilrush nnd Edward Weston developed method of se ries aro lighting and their systems were seen In general use, The first series Ilrush aro lamp were erected In the publlo square ef Cleveland, O., In 1879. In the same year ' the first central station operating aro lamps was Installed by thn California Electrla Light Company, of San Francisco.
