Wu copy the following from a
late English paper, believing it will
interest many of oar readers, and
cause serious reflections regarding
the hasty introduction of the elec-
tric light; s
WIMERP111, moot
A demonstration was last. week
made at the Crystal Palace of a new
illuminant of me brilliauuy _even
than the electric light. fao exceed-
ingly powerful is it in effect; that
ordinary manusctipts can. be read- at
a distance of 150 paces from a jet
which, it is stated, costs but three-
pence an hour. Yet the Luoigen
light, as i is called -AP& 4,eneention
of Mr. 3. B. Haunay—is produced
from the cheapest and commonest
substance, Iselin,. purely the com-
bustion of cruade and waste oil,
such as proceed from any easworks.
The official Gas Analyst of
Glasgow is cited as the authority
for a statement that the cost of It is
feona one-tenth to one-twolfthathat
of gas, and about one.twentieth
that of electric light of the same
actual candle power. Tho Lucigen
light, notwithstanding,
is nf a
vastly more effective for working
purposes. Briefly stilted, !the
method of producing this wonder=
ful light consists in n mixture of
compressed sir and minutely divi-
ded oil partieles, resulting,' wheu
ignited, in it continuous steady
flame of exceeding brightness. The
flame is under perfect control with
'a tap similar to gas. The wonderful
breadth and cheapness of the light
has lecl the inventor to recommend
11 for lighting the Suez canal, so
that traffic could hommintained day
and night, • and the proposal to
widen the canal would be totally
unnecessary. Tho experiments
wore most successfitl at the palace,
and the,beauty of tho Lucigen light
astonished and captivated all spec-
tators. • Electric light was the
dream of the futurebnt 111 face of
the Luc i m34.14114 SIe_rtiality.. bodes
to be a Taunt to the fashion of our
grandfathers in the employment of
oil, only in a vastly improved
form.
