Mr. Dana says that photo- grapha by electric light may be made as faithful likenesses as any others and cost DO more than those taken in sunlight." The MilwaukeeSentinel has interviewed Prof: U. H. lilICkinhi, General Superintendent of the Northwestern Telegraph Company. The Professor does not believe Edison's light oesa be Fh sumees, and sums up his reasons as follows: • 1. It is impoesible to prevent the entranoe of oxygen into his globe; the glees will con- tract and expand by the heat of the current and the colder external atmosphere, and air will enter whore the globe is eealecl and cause corabgetion of the carbon aainleas a diaphragm is need, Ail ill the Sawyer -Man lamp, which Edison does not use. 2. The carbon will have imperfect !mots in it; it will crack and splinter. 3. The radiating power of the oarbon can- not be increased so as to materially increase the Halt from a given force. 4. Tho. apparatus cannot be improved Bo he to provide toe a much larger per cent. of a given force to be converted into electricity, heat and light.
