The FIRST LIGHTS USKD IN WISCONSIN SUPPLIED WITH AITLETON WATEK POWER STATION CURRENT FROM 4 f Forljf ive years ago this week, Oc tober 21, 1870, to be exact, Thomas Edison invented the incandescent elec tric lamp, which he himself declared laid the foundation for the entire elec trical industry, whose property value today exceeds $3,800,000,000, says the Wisconsin Public Utility Information Bureau. , When asked what he considered his most important invention, Edison at once replied, "The electric lamp. It has done more to aid the progress of mankind than anything else I have ever done." From it developed tho great central station industry with its 13,710,000 customers. The first hydro-electric station in the world was placed in op eration in Appleton, Wisconsin, in 1882. It had five customers receiving cur rent over a distance of one mile. To day, current is sent over a distance of 250 miles. A. C. Langsladt, who was connected with the first station, says that the lamps cost $1.G0 apiece and that the cost of current was about 20 cents a kilowatt hour, when consumers were fortunate enough to get it. The lamps those days cost four times more than they do now and cur rent more than twice as much as at present. Through improvement in lumps and power stations, one dollar , today buys sixteen times as much il lumination as it purchased in 1882. " - The cost of electricity has gone down steadily through all these years. The latest U. S. Department of Lalior statistics shows thut electricity is the only item in its 'cost of living figures which shows "a decrease in cost since 1913. Edison's first lamp consumed 1W watts of electricity and gave a l(i candle power ray. Iinips in moving picture studios today require 30,000 watts and give io,000 candle power illumination. The light produced by this gigantic lamp is equal lo the com bined illumination ,of 2400 electric lamps commonly used in homes. The wire in this big lamp would supply filaments for 55,000, 25-watt house hold lamps. It's a far cry over seven thousand years from lighted splinters to the modern electric light. The chronology of lighting showing how inventive genius worked, through the ages, follows: M Torches or lighted in holders of stone 5000 U. C. -splinters placed or clay. 50 13. C. Romans used rushes soak ed in grease forerunner of the candle. 300 A. D. Phoenicians introduced candles in Constantinople. 1700 A. D. Oil lamps, with wicks, began to be used. 1780 Oil lamps are equippd with round wicks and glass chimney. 1800. Gas lighting perfected, but candle still most universal. 1850.

Incandescent electric lights made with carbon filament in growing use. 1907. Tungsten filament Limp pro duced. , . 1913. Gas filled lamp in use. ' 1922 Incandescent electric light, using tungsten filament, in high state of perfection. This great ndvance in artificial lighting has not been realized by thou sands of people ;id as a result in many homes today advantage has not liecn taken of the improvements. The clccliic industry is now conducting ed ucational essay contests to inform tho people how to use electric fights properly. mi H M M m m 2 H HI M U m KB n n n M M Inf'-p-nunt movement ri-prcscnt- i(I liy La Kullcltn unci WIm-Hit rllf-jup-R (n soiup of the c'oiiKrc'Ssioiuil . t'oiiti-alft. j A Hl;tlir KMpiTior court JlHlK''.
