Show An Elaborate Light. A novel arrangement for securing an abundance of soft light together with perfect ventilation has been installed in an opera house in Chicago. The device is, in form, similar to a large parasol, eighteen feet in diameter, the perforations perfora-tions in the cover permitting the escape of the vitiated atmosphere. The rod and handle are formed to permit the use of gas jets if neceaeary, while from the tips of each rib incandescent bulbs hang, giving a perfect and powerful circle of light. Another feature is the use of incandescent in-candescent bulbs, arranged in a wire net, to indicate the name of the company playing. Chicago Letter. |
