building to show the tile utility of the light in illuminating the interior of large building sas well as tb the e streets two lamps were used one placed in side the hardware department and nd the other suspended ia in front of the building but outside side the machine for generating the electricity was run by belts connected with the steam engine of this thia establish establishment merit the light light produced was clear and white ji like ilke ke a very vety powerful moon light lighty though its full effect could not be appreciated as the moon was shining brightly and consequently furnished much opposition om As it was how howe ever the electric light delighted the ibe many who assembled to see it at a distance of over ovet feet from the outside lamp which it must be understood

rather than light as was tile tiie case with the great majority of the human family he had marveled over it many times until he read in the scriptures ight light hath bath come into the world but men
