The Expositor says :—For several
evenings pact electric lights in Buffalo,
Cleveland and Detroit have been plainly
visible here. It seems that experiments
are being made by eleotricians in these
cities. An elsotrie lamp is placed in
a
baloon and is eonneeted with the electric
battery by a very fine wire. The lamp
is lighted and the baloon is set afloat,
and frequently rises two or three roller)
into the air, the lamp spreading its light
around the universe. On Wednesday
night the Buffalo and Cleveland lights
were plainly visible here, and looked
very pretty. The Detroit light, although
visible, was not so bright, the apparatus
apparently not working so well there as
in the other places. These lights flan be
seen almost any night,by those who look
for thein in the direction of these cities.
The lights resemble somewhat a large
bright star, but the difference is sufif.
oient to be readily discernable.
