HYDRO QUALITY LAMPS
TESTED IN FOUR WAYS
First Test. for Candle Power
Second Test.....for Current Consumption
Third Test......for Mechanical Defects
Fourth Test.....for Length of .Life
APORTION of every shipment of HYDRO
Quality Lamps is taken at random to be
tested. If any lamp fails to pass the rigid tests
the entire shipment is rejected.
All tests are conducted by experts in the labor-
atories of the Hydro Electric Power Commission
of Ontario—the most completely equipped elec-
trical testing laboratories in Canada.
The tests of HYDRO Quality Lamps aid the
Commission in realizing the objects for which
it was created—to furnish the best possible
service at the lowest possible rates. When
HYDRO Quality Lamps are used for home
lighting the consumer is assured maximum
brilliancy and long life combined with minimum
curren t consumption.
HYDRO Quality Lamps are obtainable at the
Hydro Shop.

(Oontributed by Ontario Department of
Agriculture, Toronto,)
ACETYLENE lighting is not by
any means a new thing in
this country as there are
homes here and therein vil-
lage and countryside in which this
system of lightning has been in use
for many years. Many improvements
have been made in the mechanism of
the plant. so that now this system
is considered to be absolutely safe
and reliable if it receives reasonable
care and attention. The cost, of course,
ie rather more since the war, but
even at the present price it is an in --
vestment that will return high divi-
dends, probably not always directly
in dollars and cents, but in better
health, snore comfort, less labor and
genuine satisfaction for those living
in the home, because acetylene gas in.
burning produces less heat, consumes
less oxygen and forms less carbon
dioxide than kerosene, for example,
and makes a, far more brilliant light
than even electricity, and it is easier
on the eyes, It may also be
used for cooking in the house and it.
is also well adapted for street light-
ing of villages and small towns.
The acetylene lighting plant Con-
sists of a gas generator, gas service
piping, and gas jets or chandeliers.
The generators vary in size accord-
ing to amount of gas required, one
for the home being, of course, much
smaller than that required for a large
institution or village. The chief
Parts of the generator are: Water
chamber, carbide holder, gas holder,
gas Alter, gas washer, gas intake
pipe, feed pipe, safety vent, sludge
agitator and automatic carbide feeder
device, The generator for a home
requires only a few square feet of
space, as it is very compactly con-
structed. It is usually placed in the
basement, and it is very important
that it be kept safe from frost.
The operation of the plant is as
follows: The chemical substance used
for making the gas Is calcium car-
bide, the same material that Is used
in bicycle lamps, for instance. Auto-
matically this chemical is fed into
the water chamber as fast as the gas
is used in lights. In contact with. the
water it forms a gas known as ace-
tylene gas, which collects in the gas
holder from which is passes through
small iron pipes to the lights. In the
most modern plants no gas can pos-
sibly be generated except as it Is re-
quired, hence there is no chance, as
was true of earlier types of plants,
for the gas to accumulate under pres-
sure in the plant and leak out, and
become ignited by a raw flame, re-
sulting in an explosion. The auto-
matic feed should be examined occa-
sionally and every care taken to keep
it in first-class working order. The
directions that come with the plant
should bo followed accurately and
religiously. The writer knows of sev-
eral plants owned by farmers for
many years, and in all cases under
proper care the results have been
very satisfactory. What does it
cost? This question can be an-
swered very generally as costs
vary with size of plant, etc. In gen-
eral I would say the initial cost
would be about $200, including gen-
erator, pipes, chandeliers and the
work of installation for the average -
sized farm home. The carbide for a
year will cost in the neighborhood
of ;12 to $15. Detailed information
regarding installation, etc., will be
answered upon request by the 'triter.
