REVOLUTION IN ELECTRIC LIGHTING.
Before the coming year is mora (han half run English" householders will in aft probability ken a great revolution in the domestic, Usa of electric light."
For twenty years electricity has been a conis, mon source of illuminant, Yok'until, say, two years ago little advance had been made, in the method of applying it—particularly in the case of the familiar glow-lamps, which in the farin [in which they are 'usually found in private houses are really no better that they wore when kdison and Swan first produced them, in- deed, the economical producti in of a suitable artificial light is one of the most difficult pro blems of the day. All known illum loants de velop heat in large quantities, as well as light; from which state of things this plain
plain that a considerable percentage of the energy that should be employed in making fight is wasted," and the light itself is quits inefficient as com
ated with its cost.
For example, the ordinary typa of incandes cont. electric lamp has only an efficiency of about 5 per cent,which means, in plain, English, that of every fos pence the house. holder pays for his electric light 95d, are wasted.
WHERE THE PROBLEM, LAY. Yet but for the invention of gas mantlas, electricity would have been the light "par ex- cellence." And here one might moralise very entertainingly on the advantages to consumers of competition between producers. For in re- 'cent years the competition of incandescent gai "lamps with incandescent electric has become so acute that manufacturers of the laifer wore. forced to see that unless radical-improvements were effected in their wares they would be largely ousted by the makers of gai mander,
Now the wastefulness and inefficiency of the electric glow-lamp, to which I' referred above, arise from the nature of the delicate filament, that we all know, eoclored in a glass glóba from which all air has been. exhausted. This filament is made of carbon, and the amount' 'of.

industry. The problem has been partly solved, and already some lamps are on the market in which another material than carbon is used for the filament.
THE CHEMISTS WORK. Several years ago Nerast devoted himself to this work, and brought out his well known lamp with a filament made of a mixture of magnesium oxide, thorium, aad zirconitim oxide. This lamp was an immense improve- ment on older forms. But owing to the fact that the filament heats slowly and does not glys. out light until it touches a certain temperature, the lamp has not attained universal success.
But other lamps have made their appearance lamps in which the filament is made out of various rare metais, such as, to pame the most important, osmium, tantalum, zirconium, Rnd, above all, tongsien...
All these lamps are a real advance in the art of lighting by electricity, and two of them-the namium and tantalum-are commercially in use in ngland..
The tantalum bas, so far, been "tha, `most successful. An its name indicates, the filament is made of the rare metal tantalum, which, by a special chemical process, is drawn into fine wiro. This lamp lights up instantaneously, has a useful life of about 1,001 hours, andʻan: fficiency twice as great as that of a carbon lampa 30-candia power tantalum, requiring only about the same corrent as a 16-candio": power carbon.

FOUR TIMES THE LIGHT..
The most promising, hower r, of all metallic filament lamp-that one on o ch'l ventured 10 base the prophecy of my opening sentence -appears to be the tongsten, which is the invention of Dr, Kurel, of Vienna.. Its fila ment is made of an alloy of osmium and tang sten, by which it is claimed that a 40-candia. power lamp requires only the same current as a to candle carbon. Which, again, in terms of housekeeping bills, means that the consum er ought to be able to light his house for quarter what he has hitherto been paying..
the development of these new lamps was chiefly a chemical proposition of the most in- tricate kind. Imagine, for example, what'the process must be in making a tungsten filament which is only one three-hundredth of a milli- metre in thickness, or half ika diameter of fins human hair; Great credit is due to the 'manu- facturers for the technical skill displayed and their enterprise in spending large sums of money in the necessary experiments.
No precise detalls have yet been published of the testing and production of the new lamps, but their appearance on the market is shortly expected. In any case, the new lamps of aff kinds will have entirely superseded the old in about another gight months. The competition between electricity and gas will grow keener than ever, but of the final triumph of electricity there is no question whatever.
· ENGLISH 'BACKWARDNESS, SATEL Unfortunately, English electricians have shown themselves utterly indolent in this im portant works it has all been carried out in foreign countries. Afready the foreigners have partly captured our market, for all osmium and tantalum lamps are made abroad. The English manufacturers know, of course, that even better. Jamps are being made, but the process is, secret which, so far, has only been sold to the Americanse
