T no time in the history of the world has there been such AN a demand for a cheap, pure and good light as at the present, and while in past generations artificial lignt was considered one of the greatest luxuries, to the present it has come to be an absolute necessity. Not only are homes cheered, brightened and beautified at night by brilliant illumination, but in the business world progressive, modern industry is sleepless; darkness is turned into daylight, and the ceaseless roar of machinery in the great workshops and manufactories smites the ear during the long hours of night, operated under the rays of artificial light. The necessity of illumination being an established fact, the question which interests every consumer is what process will give the most satisfactory results, viz: the best and most con- venient light at the least expense. The question of a cheap illuminant is one which for many years has affected, and still affects all metropolitan communi- ties. There is scarcely a city that has not had its “gas war.” Bitter contests have insued, rings and cliques and pools and syndicates and trusts have been formed, and municipalities have divided on the question of an economic and satisfactory artificial light supply, because in these rushing modern times there are so many business pursuits that must necessarily be ‘SHINOW XIS ISX OO'99TY AO Lodaq SIHL NI AGVW ONIAVS ‘“LHODI'T OIMLOATY GANV SV) ONIOVIdaY ‘NNOD ‘NMOLAIGGIW LV “YY CY ‘HOON “A ‘N LOdaIq AOALN] ae emi. ied eatin ese ware iets carried on between the going down of the sun and the rising thereof. Few topics are of more absorbing interest than ‘The Gas Question”’; especially so when coupled with the significant fact that high gas bills and poor light are synonymous, only bettered to a small degree by competition where there are several Gas Companies in a town, which is the exception rather than the rule. Electricity has thus far proved an unsatisfactory agent for lighting purposes; for, aside from the dangers of electric light wires, it is always uncertain and extremely expensive, and the cost of individual plants, in small towns where no general system is in operation, involves an expense that private indiv- iduals or even small corporations cannot afford. But obedient to duty the inventive genius of man springs responsively to omntpotent will in the happy solution of the vexed guestion of cheap and pure light. Dhesadvent of the “New Light” marks an era in the history of artificial lighting. It places the luxury of a first- class light, with all its attendant conveniences, within the reach of all, at a very moderate cost, no matter where located.

It has been thoroughly tested during the past four years, and more than 20,000 are now in actual service, furnishing a brighter light, of greater luminosity, than either gas or incan- descent electric, replacing both standard systems, and giving universal satisfaction, as is testified to by hundreds employing this system. The new light is simple, practical, effective and economical. Through absolutely perfect combustion it gives a more bril- liant, mellow light than gas or incandescent electric, of greater illuminating power, and at one fourth the cost. The new system produces a maximum light at minimum cost; and these results are obtained by scientific principals as “ASNOH WOU Aa LHOIT LAAYLS ONIMOHS es ka tg | MUN » FHL HLIM GaALHOIT ‘NNOS) “NACIYayY “LS ANOTOD 99¢ ‘NOLMY’] ‘ HONACISAY “old as the hills,” and so simple that a child of ordinary intelli- gence can readily comprehend its operation. The American Automatic System of Lighting consists of an entirely new method for utilizing hydro-carbon (kerosine oil); eliminating objections to oil lights, and substituting all the conveniences of gas, securing perfect combustion, combined with wonderful brilliancy of flame. The oil is supplied from a small central reservoir through tubes direct to burners, which may be located to suit conveni- ence in any part of a building, or outside. The system is extremely simple, absolutely automatic in operation, requiring no care whatever beyond replenishing the supply in the reservoir when exhausted. It is impossible to get out of order, as there is no compli- cated mechanical device employed or pressure applied in its operation. The flow of oil is conducted on the syphon principle by force of gravity, thus employing one of the oldest, simplest and best known scientific principles of controlling the flow of liquids. The syphon employed is so constructed as to give a con- tinuous even flow to the burners, consequently there is no flickering. of the flame whatever, and the light is always uniform. The burners used in this system are similar to Argand gas burners, and differ materially from any previously employed in the consumption of hydro-carbon oil, having been designed especially for this system, to produce the best possible light. The result is a steady brilliant flame of wonderful luminosity. By this system three gallons of oil will produce light equal to 1,000 cubic feet of gas, and any number of burners may be attached. The “New Light” is capable of being applied wherever gas can be conducted, and the fixtures employed are practically the same in both construction. and operation, viz: hanging chandeliers, standards, movable side brackets, etc., of any required design or number of burners, the expense being governed by the design and ornamentation. ‘SHLNOJ ANIN LSala Oo TEzZY AO ONIAVS V AAVIY “SVD ONIOVIGTY ‘NNOD ‘CUOAONITIVM, LV “WU 'H PCH ON “WA CN Loaaq The “New Light” is operated exactly as is gas, simply requiring the turning of a thumb screw in raising and lowering the flame, or extinguishing it at will, Each burner is entirely independent. There is positively no odor from this system, either while lighted or after it is extinguished. COST OF THE “NEW LIGHT.” This depends upon the price of kerosene, which varies from five to twelve cents per gallon. Taking this as a basis, the cost per thousand feet is from fifteen to thirty-six cents, three gallons being a liberal estimate of the amount of fluid required to produce light equal to that from a thousand feet of gas. The economy of lighting by the Automatic System has induced many large consumers of gas and electricity to adopt the “New Light” with most gratifying results, the cost of the change being quickly saved in the lessened bills.

DHE “NEW eL1G i U.N US The following report received by the officials of the New — York, New Haven & Hartford Railroad Company from Wal- lingford Station, shows the large difference in favor of the ‘New Light” as compared with gas: ‘‘ During nine months, just ended, the total expense of lighting this depot with the ‘‘New Light” was $38.43. The expense of the previous nine months, during which gas was _ burned, was $270, to light the same depot.” Thus showing a difference of $231.37 in favor of the ‘*New Light” in nine months, and the Station Agent reports that the illuminating | power produced by the new system is three times what it formerly was by gas. These are marvellous fiigures, but true. The expense of lighting the depot with gas and electricity at Middletown, Conn., on N. Y., N. H. & oi H. R.

The advent of the “ New Light,” as it is called, marks an era in the history of artificial illumination in this city. It places the luxury of a first-class light with all its advantages within the reach of everybody, as its cost of maintenance is less than one-third the cost of gas or electricity. It is noticed that some of State street’s merchants have adopted the « New Light” and find it most satisfactory. The large clothing store of Frederick H. Harris is fitted with it. C.C.

The Fisk Paper Company are putting new lights into the Brightwood Mill, of a kind ‘not heretofore used in this town. They are furnished by The American Automatic Lighting Ccmpany, of Meriden, Conn. They are kerosene lights, supplied from a tank on the syphon system, small tubes carrying the oil from tank to burner, and automatically replenishing it as fast as used. The apparatus has been put up under the direction of D. W. Goodnow, of Keene, agent of the company in this section. Seven burners have been put in the office and shipping room, and forty more:are to be put in other parts of the mill. The lights givea splendid illumination, —The Valley Record. «THOTT MAN», FHL HLIM GALHOIT ‘NNOD ‘NIAVH] MAN ‘AYOIS onud SAMOT “AY NHOL tf ‘ ee: *e fd PRESS NOTICES. A FINE LIGHT. Many people visited the Young Men’s Christian Association Building last evening to see the ‘‘New Light’ in operation. It proves to be a splendid light, more than was expected. The rooms were as bright as day. The chandeliers were much admired. Each burner is guaranteed by the American Automatic Lighting Company, who put in the system, to be 4o-candle power. With four such burners in a single room one can judge the effect. The Association directors feel that they have made no mistake in their purchase. * * * Torrington (Conn.) Times. A LIGHT LIKE NOONDAY SUN. There can be no better illustration of the numerous. ways of doing a thing, and the different results obtained, than may be seen by calling at No. 17 Dey Street, where the American Automatic Lighting Company have their ‘‘ New Light”’ on exhibition. If the visit is made in the evening, the first question, after the astonishment at the dazzling brilliancy of the light is over, invariably is: Ilow do they make it? What substance do they use ? and when told that it is simply the old fashion kerosene oil, manipu- lated in an entirely new manner, amazement is expressed at the difference in results. The old method cannot be at all compared with this beautiful, steady and brilliant ‘‘New Light.” * * * New York Daily Press. THE = NEW.-LIGHT.” Malden, Mass., March 5, 1892. The American Automatic Lighting Co.’s System of lighting, known here as the ‘‘ New Light,’ has been adopted by Murray & Wiley, the well known dry goods dealers, Barrett Building, Pleasant street, to illuminate their store, with results exceedingly satisfactory. The store was lighted for the first time on Tuesday evening by this system, and can be seen now any evening. Its merits are so evident to all who see it that we can safely assert it as a light that has come to stay, and will be viewed with a great deal of interest by owners of stores, factories and all business places, where the cost of lighting is an important item in the running expenses. The same system may also be seen at the drug store of W. B. South- worth, Pleasant street, where it has been in operation several weeks with the same satisfactory results, and has received the highest commendation from all who have seen it. To say it has no equal would, say those who have investigated it, be a very tame expression, for there is nothing that begins to compare with it in brilliancy and cheapness, the two great essent- ials which will maintain its permanency against all other systems. * “ * Malden Mirror.

ELECTRICITY’S RIVAL, When the electric light was invented it was considered one of the greatest scientific achievements of the world. Now people have become familiar with it, and many dislike its glaring brightness and deep black shadows. It lightens one section of a room as bright as day and leaves the other in darkness. It is almost useless for some purposes, and gas is still used freely both in parlors and stores. ‘This state of things has been going on for some time, but now comes ancther invention which solves the difficulty in every way. It is a hydro-carbon system, the oil being carried through pipes from a tank to the burners, and feeding the lights automati- cally. The pipes and fixtures are put in by the American Automatic Lighting Company. ‘The system is already introduced in numerous cities, but not until last week was it put into any establishment in Providence. Then Messrs. Potter & Hunt, the enterprising shoe dealers of Westminister street, took hold of it, and last evening their pretty and commodious establishment was lit up brilliantly, yet so evenly distributed were the burners that no offensive blaze of light shone in any one spot. A small tank in a side room holds the oil from which the burners are fed and operates automatically. Wherever it has been introduced complete satis- faction is given. As to price, this light is 75 per cent. cheaper than either gas or electric. All in all, this seems to be what has long been needed as a happy medium between the other systems. * * * Providence KR.

Strolling up the south side of Markct street last evening, when apposite the Baldwin Hotel, the attention of a representative of the Journal of Commerce was attracted by the brilliant illumination of a store. Looking at the window, he was struck by the steadiness of the light, the novelty of the fixtures and their elegant appearance. Going into the store to be further enlightened he found that the ‘‘ New Light” was being thrown on its contents by lights having all the appearance of elegant gas fittings. The proprietor kindly explained that it was the new method of burning kerosene, showed how superior it was to gas or electricity in brilliancy and steadiness and freedom from risk of explosion. The light which is equal to thirty-eight candles, costing only about a fourth of the priie of eithcr gas or electricity.—Dazly Journal cf Con:merce.

The coming of the ‘‘New Light” marks a great era in the history of artificial illumination in our town. This is, indeed, an age oi progress. Think of it! Within the memory of men now living, we have gone step by step from the pine knot to the tallow candle ; from the tallow candle to the whale oil lamp, which was soon set aside for the kerosene oil lamp. Then comes illuminating gas and finally the electric light. The tireless energy of man, seemingly responsive to the will of God, has now succeeded in producing a system of artificial lighting, which, in power and brilliancy, has relegated all previous lights to the almost forgotten past.» Crowds of people last evening visited the stores of E. N. Denison & Co., jewelers, and L. R. Cone & Co., who have adopted the new system and speak in the highest terms of the new light. Enterprising merchants like W. B. Gavitt, I. G. Barber and several others have placed their contracts for the new system, also the Baptist church in Ashaway has contracted to put in the new light. Indeed, are we not living in an age of progress ?>— Westerly City Trzbune. BRILLIANT ILLUMINATION. Two brilliantly lighted drug stores in this city, are those of Charles P. Alden and George A. Hill, which attract no little attention to the system of illumination used in both, and certain discoveries as to the cheapness of the “New Light” command the lively interest of all who have to deal with the problem of lighting private residences, stores, halls and manufactories. The system mentioned is the so called hydro-carbon, and Mr. Alden put it in his store on December 15, 1890. The seventeen burners which he is using replace seventeen incandescent lights, and by his testimony they give fully 50 per cent. more light than the latter did; whereas his electric lights cost him over $200 a year, three months’ experience with the hydro-carbon system indicates that the cost by the new method will be under $75 a year. Similar results have attended the trial at Mr. Hill’s store, which enjoys a local renown for its bright and hospitable evening glow. Another estab- lishment lighted by this means, to the complete satisfaction of the propri- etor, is Charles C. Lewis’ carriage supply store, on Lyman street. The multiplication of successful tests like this for the past five years, led Messrs. Warner, Allen & Co. to buy the patents for Western Massachusetts, with headquarters at 265 Main street, where they take orders, put the fixtures together and attend to the placing them wherever ordered. The business opens in a spirited manner, with ten concerns already supplied with the apparatus, and the eminent success of the local trials thus far give promise of an active demand. * * * Springfield (Alass.)
