How Lung; Electric Lights will Barn.
Albany Democrat.
The little . incandescent lights that
illuminate so many of the business
houses and homes in Albany are worth
studying. The electric spark passing
through a -film in vacuum causes the
light. The life of these films is remark
ably variable, some lasting onlv a short
time -and others a long time. The
longest lived one in this city is in No. 2's
engine house. It has run all night since
tbe system was begun here three years
ago, by computation 11,000 hours in all,
whereas, the general life of one is about
600 hours. This one was a 30-candle
power on Btarting and is now less than a
10-candle power. -

(ngersoll a SilTeTBan.
What Robert G. Ineersoll savs on sec
ular subjects is not of much more impor
tance than what he says on religious
subjects. For example, in a late inter
view he Said : "I am a silver man. I
believe in gold and silver and a free coin
age. ' 1 want a dollar's worth of silver in
a silver dollar, and then the more silver
dollars we have the better. Gold is the
money of the creditor ; the debtor wants
silver, and I want both." But if the
gold and silver dollars are of the same
value why should gold be the money of
the creditor and silver the money of the
debtor? Is not a pound of feathers as
heavy as a pound of Jead? -
