AMA55KP AT VAST BTItlDKa
In connection with Klectrlcnl Week,
which I being observed throughout Amer
ica) many aurprlnlng reaulls of electrical
pragma are being shown. Bpeaklng of this
jmsso of modern ndvance, T, K. Mimrt, nn
electrical' engineer, who recently returned
to America from the Orient, where he ban
been aupervlilng the Instnllntlon of elec
tric power plant, declare t
"If the Orient could behold the electrla
marvel of a typical American city the
Americanization of tho Knst would not bo
half the tank It In."
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.

100.000-Gallon Output This Year Pre
dicted by Pittsburgh Expert
About 100,000 gallons of gasoline will be
manufactured In tho current year from
natural gns without Injuring tho gas for use
In cities, according to Oeorgo A. Ilurrell,
consulting chemical engineer nnd president
of the Natural On Product Company, of
PlttjburglL He delivered an nddrcs Inst
night at thr Franklin Institute, In which
he said -the growing nhortaga of gasoline
was causing grave concern to Itn producers.
Mr. Ilurrell said that whlla natural gas
Is twice as valuabla far fuel ns thn mnnu
factured article. It scIIh for only one-third
as much. In 1015 nbout 600.000,000,000
cublo feet of natural gnn wero sold, of
which Industrial consumers used sixty-five
per cent and householders thlrtv-flve per

cent of tho output nnd consume sixteen
per cent! Pennsylvania produces twenty
two per cent nnd consume thirty-one per
cent, while Ohio produces ten per cent, nnd
uses twenty-two per cent.
