Jesse Hoyt. ‘
. N. Y. Tribune, Aug. 15.

One of the best known merchants of this
city, Jesse Hoyt, died at a quarter before 4
o‘clock, yesterday morning at his house, No.
54 West Forty-eighth street. A complica-
tion of diseases had been preying on his
system for a year. Recently a tumor
formed on his abdomen and spread around
his .body. It attacked one of the ducts
leading to the digestive organs, so that he
received no nourishment from food, and
slowly through painlessly starved to death.
During Sunday, night he was unconscious at
times. His death was quiet. His wife_and
his brothers were with him. and Dr. Dillion,
the attending physician. Mr. Hoyt also left
an unmarried daughter. He, had accumu-
lated by great persistence and energy a for-
tune estimated at $10,000,000. The funeral
will be held at 10 a. m. on Thursday in the
Broadway Tabernacle. The burial will take
place at Woodlawn Cemetery.

Mr. Hoyt was born in this city on March
12, 1815. He received only a common school
elucation. At the age of seventeen years,
he began his business life as a clerk in the
wholesale grocery house 'of C. 85 L. Denison,
for many years the largest house of its kind
in the State. Upon his arrival at majority
he was taken into the firm as a partner.
During the cholera epidemic of 1885, when
every other person in the employ of the firm
was either frightened away or was sick, Mr.
Hoyt worked at the store every day and at
night watched with'one of the partners, who
was ill with the disease. In 1838 he retired
from the firm to engage in the grain and
flour .commission business with his father.
At this time Mr. Hoyt had Saved about
$25,000, and he has ’often said that he had
never felt so rich since then. His father had
previously been a memberof the firm. of Eli
Hart &. 00., of which the honseof David
Dows &. Co. was an outgrowth. He con-
nected himself with his son under the name
of James M. Hoyt & Son. Young Mr. Hoyt
continued with his father until the latter’s
death in 1854, when the firm was reorganiz-
ed under the name of Jesse Hoyt & Co, the
other member being Jesse's brothers Samuel
M. and Alfred M., and his former book-
keeper, Henry W. Smith. Samuel M. Hoyt
retired from the business in 1858' and Mr.
Smith in 1861. In 1863 Theodore I. Husted
and Leonard Hazeltine, both cleiks, were
admitted to the firm as partners. In May,
1881, Jesse Hoyt and his brother Alfred M.
retired, leaving the business to the junior
partners, who still continue'at No.16 State
street.

Mr. Hoyt took a deep interest in all mat-
ters connected with the grain trade of New
York, and he is credited by many persons
with doing more to make this city the com-
mercial centre of the country than any other
merchant. lie was actively engaged in the
grain trade from its very beginning in this
city, before there were any shipments from
the lakes. New York State was then eon-
sidercd the western limit of the trade, and
sioops brought all the grain to market from
Albany and other points on the Hudson
River. To his energy and foresight is at.
tributed partly the great development of the
grain trade of the West. Appreciating the
importance of the Western States, he took a
great interest in their growth ' and develop-
ment. His first investment in .that part of
the country was in 1851, when he bought
large tracts of pine land in the Saginaw
Valley, Michigan. The city of East Sagi-
naw, which has a population of 25,000, is
built upon land purchased then by Mr. Hoyt.
He employed men to cut the timber, had
vessels constructed for its transportation to
market through the lakes, built a hotel and
established a bank with a capital of $200,000
of which be retained the controlling interest.
To encourage the immigrants to own prop-
erty, he built cottages and sold them at cost.
Then discovering that the country was rich
in salt, be bored for it and got as fine salt
water as is obtained at the Onondaga werks.

Mr. Hoyt was also a large ,ownerof the
Flint and Pere Marquette Railroad, which,
by his energy, was completed to Ludington,
thus forming a direct. line from Toledo to
that point, and connecting with other
roads in the] Northwest. He was president
of this road at the time of his death. He
was also connected with other-Jorge railroad
enterprises in the West, and was iissociated
with D. M. Barney, A. H, Barney," William
G. Fargo, B. B. Cheney, and Apgus Smith,
in the building of the first cast and west
railroad through Minnesota, which is known
as the Winona and St. Peter Railroad.
When this road was completed, it was sold '
to the Chicago and Northwestern Railroad.
It was a, valuable purchase, since it owued
some of the best land in Minnesota. Mr.
Hoyt was also interested in building the
Milwaukee and Northern Railroad, the
Wisconsin and Michigan, and the ;Ontonagan
and Brule River, which runs fromMilwauke
north to Lake Superior, passing through vast
iron, copper and timber lands. He was a
director in the Chesapeake and .Ohio Railroad
in which he became largely interested when
it was reorganized recently. ‘

In connection with Angus Smith, of Mil-
yvaukee, he built the first railroad grain ele-
vator at {Milwaukee for the Chicago, Mil-
waukee and’St. Paul Railroad. Afterward
he built two other elevators and sold .them
to the same company. He also built three
large grain elevators in Milwaukee for the
Chicago and Northvrestern Railroad. A few
years ago he became largely interested in the
grain elevators at Chicago in connection with
the SLPaul undotlier north western railroads.
Two years ago,he built the large elevator at
Jersey City for handling grain coming by
the New York, Lake Erie and Western Rail-

waM'r. Hoyt always appreciated the fact that
mucbiof his Wealth was gained partly by the
labor of others, and he shared his prosperity
with those associated with him. His mild
manners, his genial disposition and his
readinesss to give advice in regard tobusi-
uses or political matters were prominent
characteristics with him. He is said never
to have spoken ,_a {cross gword to his
subordinates. (,He was a prominent and
popular member of the Produce Exchange
from its organization. He was a director of
the Mcrchants’s Exchange National Bank,
the Home and Commercial Fire Insurance
Companies, and the New, York Elevated
Railroad. He refused to have his name as-
sociated with other corporations of a similar
character, because lack of time prevented
him giving the attention to them which he
thought the stockholders had a right to de-
mand. '

A correspondent who has studied the
various "types” at Old Point Comfort says
that the New Englandgirl wears a blue
flannel suit, a broad-bummed hat, scarlet
stockings, and yellow sandals, lives in .3
boat, and is as brown as a berry. The Phil-
adelphia girl likes tennis and languages. is
chary of tco wide a circle of acquaintance-

The Knit Good’s Bill.

SENATOR rtarr‘s CONVINCING ARGUMENT.

The senate, as in the committee of the
whole, on Saturday resumed the considera-
tion of the bill (H. R. No. 6,715) to correct
an error in section 2,504 of the revised stat-
utes of the United States. '

Mr. Plait—Mr. President, a single 'word
with regard to the amendment of the senator
from Delaware. The manufacturers. who
must shut up their factories, the employes
who must be idle, come to congress and ask
for bread. The senator from Delaware pro-
poses to give them a stone. That fitly illus-
trates the amendment, and I propose to pay
no further attention to itat this time. I take
issue with the senator. and if I can, wearied
as I am somewhat physically by these pro-
tracted sessions— ‘

Mr. Bayard—We all are. ,

Mr. Platt—If I can express myself clearly,
I will undertake to convince even the sena-
tor f i'om' Delaware that there was no such law
in existence prior to the revision of the stat-
ute as imposed only a duty of 35 per cent ad
vaiorcm upon this class of goods. I put the
argument which I am to make in this 'case to

every member of the senate without refer-

ence to the views which he may entertain
upon the sublect of the tariff.

I claim that this is an error; that the law
prior to the revision of 1874 'upon all this:
class of goods, upon all articles pertaining to
this class, imposed a duty of 25 per cent. ad
vaiorcm, and in addition thereto certain spe-.
cific or pound duties which were put there
for the purpose of offsetting the duty upon
wool. I can show it to any senator who will
give me careful attention. ‘
Before I come to that point of the argu- .
ment, however, (and I am not unmindful of
the time of the senate and therefore I shall
be brief,) I wish to speak for a moment of
the importance of this question. ‘I ask seny
ators not to coupleqit with any proposed tariff
legislation. This industry has grown up in
this country since 1870. In 1870 there was
only produced in this country, as appears by
the census of 1870, 223,000 pounds of yarn
and hosiery, only 4,080 dozen of shirts and
drawers; and yet in 1880 we had $15,000,000
of capital and over‘ invested, and we had a
gross product of $28,000,000.

There are no great capitalists in this busi-
ness. Notwithstanding all the sarcasm of
the senator from North Carolina,[llIr. Vance]
it is an infant industry, and it illustrates the
doctrine which my friend the senatorfrom
Georgia EMr. Brown,] believes in and which
I believe in-chat is, that the primary prov.
ince of all tariff legislation is the raising of
revenue, and that incidentally it is well to
foster and encourage American manufact-
ures. '

It is not Connecticut alone that stands here
asking that you shall not strike at and de-
stroy these manufactures ; it is nineteen
states in this Union that ask it. They‘are
scattered from Maine to the Missouri, in all
the states. They are not capitalists; they
are not overgrown corporations. The aver-
age capital of these corporations is less than
$45,000 each, and knowing what I know of
the corporations in my own, state, andrthe
private parties who are enagaged in this

capital. They are not in a condition to go
on with this business. If the law as they
understood it, if the law upon the faith of
which they built their factories and’e'mploy-
ed their men and made this production, and
cheapened these articles in the American
market, is not to stand, they are willing to
take their chances with all other woolen
manufacturers. If the duty on woolen man-
ufactures is to be reduced, they are willing
to be reduced upon the manufacture; but
they do come here and protest against the
injustice, weak as they are, young as they
are, of being singled out and not protected as
other woolen manufacturers are.

I do not believe that a manufacturer is a
public enemy to be punished or suppressed.
I know that my friend the senator from Del-
a ware does not so believe. I do believe it
is a public calamity that «a large number of
men, women and children \shall be thrown
out of labor. We have been told that the
strikes of which we have heard are matters
of the first importance; that they should en-
gage the careful attention of every honest

amendment of the senator from Delaware
upon it, and send it back/to the house with a
reduction of the tariff ;on wool, and before
next December there will be more people idle
and thrown out of emp10yment in these fac-
togies than there are now idle on account of
the strikes.
Mr. Platt then briefly, but clearly and
forcibly, gave the history of the manner in
which the error in the revision occurred, and
its effects upon manufacturers. He conclud-
ed as follows : -
Mr. President, I have endeavored to make
clear, I have made clear to my own mind,
and I trust to the minds of senators, that the
law prior to the revision did put a duty upon
these articles of 35 per cent. ad valorem and
a scale of pound duties of specific duties
from 20 to 59 cents, according to the value
of the product, the value of the manufact-
tured article. I have shows: that it was un-
derstood everywhere, except by some few
reporters who protested against it and under-
took to claim differently, and they took. their
case into court, where they were beaten, an.d
then they abandoned the claim under the law
of. 1867, and under the law prior to the PC-
visi0n. _
I do not propose to go into a general dis-
cussion of the tariff question. I do not pro-
pose to go into any Statement as to the pre-
cise cost» of manufacture or the precise profit
which was made under the duty as it was
understood by everybody to be. I simply
say to senators that these manufacturers,
who are not to be presumed to be other than
honest men, come from all sections of the
country,supported by the petitions of all their

'employes, and they say to you this ,:—They

say to you we built our manufacturies, we
commenced this manufacture upon what we
understood to be the law,aud you understood
to be the law, and Congress intended should
be the law, and upon the law as it has been
administered until this decision of the
supreme court. And they theyfisay, we ask
you now to restore us to the position which

.we had a right to assume we occupied; .we
ask you to disconnect this case from tariff '

legislation ; we ask you to put us back where
we supposed we, were, let us take our
chances. with the Whole wonleir industry
when a revision of the tariff shall be made;
we ask you not-to stop our manufactories ;
we ask you not to turn these laborers 'into
the streets; we ask you to enable this indus-
try to go on until the revision of the tariff;
we ask you not to bankrupt us.

I have made this appeal. I ask it as a
matter of justice; I ask it as a matter of
right. I beg of senators not to stand here
for any purpose and oppose the measure of
just relief by adding to it tariff legislation
now in these few remaining hours of the
session, and I believe the session to be draw-
ing to a close. DO‘not send this billback to

upon it. Any amendment willkill the bill.
The house has no quorum. The bill will be
lost there if it shall. be amended.

 

A Saratoga letter to the Philadelphia
Times reports the engagement of Senator
Jones of Florida to Miss Moseley of New-
buryport, Mass. The writer says: “Miss
Moseley is a lovely young lady not much
over twenty years old, Her father is a bank-
er and well off. The romance between Sen-
ator Jones and Miss Moseley began in Wash-
ington at the time of GeneralGarfield's in-
auguration, when she came to the citylwith
her brother and his wife,the daughter of Ma-
jor Ben P. Poor. Senator Jones promptly
fell as deeply and freshly in love with her as
a school boy could With his first ideal, and
has never been bashful about letting his de-
votion be known." .

The following is taken from a letter in the
New York Homing Post, dated Plattsburgh,
New York, August 0.:

Co'nsiderable excitement and no_littie bad
feeling have been stirred up here by the an-
nouncement of a fact fraught with keen in-
terest not only to the residents of this town,
but to the thousands of. tourists who every
year seek sport and health in the famous
Adirondack woods. During the past week
Mr. Samuel F. Vilas, a wealthy capitalist of
this town, has sold 50,000 acres in the heart
of the Adirondacks to Messrs Hurd & Mc-
Farland, of Michigan, and Mr. IIotclikiss, of
Bridgeport, Conn. The tract sold includes
townships Nos. 14,15, and 16, of Franklin
County, in the “Paul Smith" neighborhood,
covering the region of St. Regis Lake and
the Upper Sarauac, so well known and loved
by anglers. The consideration is understood
to be $300000, and the sale has been fully
completed. The purchasers are extensive
dealers in lumber. They intend soon 'to
build a track from the Ogdensburgh and
Lake Champlain Railroad to the centre of the
wilderness, and construct sawmills at many
points along the line. It seems positive that
the usual sequel .will quickly follow. The
great tracts of splendid pine timber will be
despoilcd; the clear streams choked with
slabs and, sawdust ; the breeding places of the
trout polluted, and every quality destroyed
which has given the North Woods their at-
racliveness and fame.

Here on the lower Saranac, and at the
river's very mouth, the scheme has a contin-
gent aspect, very grim and serious. The :
Saranac supplies the water-power for many
factories and saw mills, and with its line
wooded watershed has always been relied on
with confidence, even in a drouth like the
present one. The same is true of the upper
Hudson, whose swift waters are studded with
sawmills representing large investments of
capital. What will be the effect when the
great watershed is denuded of its vegetation,
and subject to the protracted droughts of
more settled regions. is a practical question
which those interested may well ask them-
selves with apprehension. Here at Platte-
burgh, a town just beginning—with the
coming of the _ _Deli'iware and ' Hudson
Railroadextention—a rapid growth, which
must largely depend on her due water-pow-
er, the new project will be viewed with dis-
may when its full proportions are fairly real-
ized. . ' ’

Some of the above facts,although generally
the article is correct, are not as stated. For
instance the waters of the Hudson river are

timber from the water shed of the Sarauac
rivers which rise in the region of the upper
Saranac and together form the St. Regis and
Raquette rivers which run into the St. Law-

cut timberin the region of the Saranac
Lakes, where by the way nearly all the‘old
pine timber ha_s been out long ago and
logged down the river, but in the upper por-
tion of the tract, the less mountainous por-

tions of Franklin county,whence the streams

all run toward _the St. Lawrence.
This region is to be opened by a railroad as
there are no other practicable facilities

the Adirondacks is rather singular in view of'
the fact that hardly a notable lake in the
woods is without its dam, put in by. private
enterprises to raise the level of the water
and secure increased power. to mill-streams
in dry times, and these dams have lined the
lakes with unsightly fringes of dead wood,
while on the bills and mountain sides the
most valuable timber has already been taken.
The timber which is floated every year down-
the Ausable to Lake Champlain comes from
the real heart of the Adirondacks, but the
sectiOn where it is cut is fifty miles south or
the tract recently purchased by the Bridge-
port gentlemen and is separated from it by
ranges of the highest mountains in ' the
woods. While it is unquestionablyia pity
that any of the hitherto uncut woods of the
wilderness should be swept away before
the onward march of civilization, it is a fact
that sooner or later it will go unless meas-
ures are taken by the state to preserve it
and it is not probable that private enterprise
will wait many years longer for the state to
to do this. The region north of the St.Regis
lakes, where lies the woodland of the new
purchase, is not now ‘a portion of the
traveled highway through the wilderness,
and save to the Saranac and the streams
which run into the St. Lawrence it affords
no watershed. The Sarauac might in time
be affected by it, but it Would take many
years to denude this vast territory to such an
extent as to materially alter the conditions.
From the vicinity of Long Lake the timber
has for many years been cut off to a great
extent, and from Long Lake Village east to
Lake Champlain through the Adirondack
iron region, theré'have been immense tracts
of timber cut for years past, aud'yet to-day
there -'are more. trout in the streams, more
deer in the woods and as much water in the
rivers as ever before, showing' that these lat-
ter conditions do not depend entirely on the
timber cut or standing. ‘

 

An unpublished novel by Nathaniel Haw-
thorne is a firid indeed. It is called “Dr.
Grimshaw's Secret," and was lately.discov-
ered among Mr. Hawthorue’s papers, and is
said to be one of his most powerful and
characteristic productions. The scenes are
laid on both sides of. the Atlantic, and the
story turns upon the claims of an American
heir to an ancestral English estate.

muddy streets are the' clecnest and nicest
of the material used in compiling these
precious roads to rain. I came down town
on a Madisoriavenue car this evening, and
on the tail end'therc were three little chaps.
the oidatabout fourteen. Each smoked a
cigarette and spat his little life away. I
ventured to ask-if they enjoyed the odor.
They said they did. And the taste? Cer-
tainly. 0n enquiring I found they had a
well kncwn brand of cigarette, noted for its
“opium soak" and its terrible smell when
burning. Poor glittleffellows. They can’t
last long. They were pale and sickly. puny
and offensive. What kind of men will they
make? Men ? They’re men already in their
own eyes. They and a majority of our little
lads are full of the slang of the day, upin

upitheir end of a conversation. I subse-
quently saw these three boy’s in Niblo’s
Garden. It would have done you good to
hear them talk. 'A blind man might reason-

‘ ably think he was listening to three old men.

Nothing was new. They had seen it all be-
fore, and better done at that. 'Down went
the curtain, out went the boys, but before
they felt the first breath of the fresh air from
the street each puny hand held a cigarette to
the vile-smelling mouth, and puff l puff!
they sickened everybody in their vicinity.
This is an old grievance of mine, and I don't
care to bore you with it, but I feel it keenly.
—Joa Howard.

The case of the late Rev. L. E. Ckarpiot
should afferd encouragement to allwho have
.any serious wish to stop indulging in strong
drink. Mr. Charpiot was for several years a
pastor in Stratford, Connecticut, and was
dismissed finally becahse of this weakness,
but he triumphed over his appetite in his
later years and became in active temperance
worker. '

 

The Rev. Eldridge Mix, D. D., who about
a year ago resigned the charge of the First
Presbyterian Church of Orange, N. J., and
went about, but who now for some months
his been preaching as called upon, chiefly in
Brooklyn,'haa~ received and accepted a call to
the Central Congregational Church of Fall
River, Mass. Coming as a “surprise,” and
tendered with the heartiest unanimity, Dr.
Mix has not felt at liberty to decline it. The
Central Church is a strong one, numbering
at present 470 members ,- aud what is better
and more promising, it has ever been imbued
with the missionary spirit in its own home
A great many ex-
cellent people resident in Orange and else-
where ‘arc aware that their brethren have
done right well for themselves'in» securing 'Dr.
Mix» as their pastor. They will find him
everything to be desired by a reasonable peo-
ple in this relation, and a preacher of fine and
sustained ability. Presbytery will dismiss
him to his new relations in September with

unfeigned regret and sorrow-New York

The city of Baltimore went through the

“They shall be a: the stone: ofa crown."—
Znomuran 1x: 16.

The Master chine to our dwelling.

And left us a jewel one day,

To be cherished, and guarded, and polished.
Till it shone with. luminous ray.

We know it was all for his service,

But the gem in such beauty shone

We almost forgot, as we watched it,

It was not indeed our Own!

The burdens of life grew lighter,

The home was a holier place, 1

The clouds in ourdaily journey

Left only a passing trace.

And we thought, what a blessed mission
To keep in our tenderest care

The jewel our Master entrants us,

So beautiful,,bright, and fair!

We knew that the lengthening shadows
Would steal o'er our path some day.
But we hoped the light at the hearth-stone
Would shine with a queacbless ray;
That we were to be thc'keepe‘rs

Of this treasure from the skies,

Till our weary hands were folded, ‘ '
'And the curtain veiled our eyes!

Then a darkness thick o'erwhelmed us, :1;
We groped in its stifling breath,

For our hearts were torn and bleeding

By the mighty hand of Death.

The master had taken the treasure,

The jewel that was his own,

.And the added beauties of heaven

In its radiant luster shouts!

So now with our upward yearnings,
Since the light of our home isfled,
We hear the burdens unshrinking,
And the daily pathway tread.
For heaven, with all of its glory,
Is brighter and lovelicr yet,
For amid the “stones of the crown"
Our beautiful jewel is set.

SCIENTIFIBUEISCELLANY.

In the Shetland Islands recently a stroke
of lightning detached a mass of four hun-
dred tons rock from the side of a hill, caus-
ing it to fall into a road below. The
lightning cuta deep rut down the face of the

Crystals sometimes attain an immense size,
one of quartz at Milan being three and a
quarter feet in length and five and a half
feet in circumference, and estimated to weigh
over 800 poundsi; while a great beryl at
Grafton, N. 11., is more than fonrjfeet long
and thirty-two 'inches in diameter, weighs
not less than 500 pounds.

According to the John Rogers, F. R. M.
S., it is claimed that modern microscopes
are made to magnify as much as 35.000
diameters, while some regard 100,900 diam-
eters 'as possible. Such excessive amplifica-
tion,', however, gives too imperfect results
and is attended by too many difficulties to
be of any value. The greatest living micro.
scopista are of _the opinion that a power of
8,000 or 4,000 diameters representsthevhigh-
est useful limit of microscopic vision.

A snake whose entire body had become
lignified has been taken from the trunk of a
Brazilian tree.

Prof. Whitney maintains that the earth is
gradually drying tip—a process which com-
menced in cretaceous times. The increasing
dryness, ,within the historical period of
Persia, Arabia, the countries around the Aral
and Caspian, North Africa and Greece is
proved by abundant facts.

Messrs. Schulhoif and Dessert have worked
out anew the observations recorded of the
comet of 1812, and from the most-probable
elements obtain a revolution period of 71.7
years, leading them to believe that thecomet
again,comes,to perihelion about the middle
of 1883. The uncertainty as to the period of
revolution is about three and a half years.

From four observations of Comet Wells
of 1882, Herr Threau, of Dingclstadt.
Thuringia, has computed sect of elliptic
elements which indicate that a return of that
body will not occur for about 4,617 years.

At a recent meeting of the Royal
Horticultural Society of London,‘,[Rev. G.
Henlew exhibited potato-tubes which had
grown upon the stalks of the plants'jn the
exile of leaves. He also showed plum leaves
perforated with small circular holes, caused
by the lens action of raindrops which con-
centrated the sun’s rays and burned the
leaves. Another exhibitor, Mr. Laxton, sent
green, purple and speckled pea-rods-the last
a result of crossing the two others.

‘It has been found that the presence of
silica is not essential to plant-growth, but
that it may serve for valuable purposes is
shown by the researches of Wolf. After
fourteen years of experiments on the out
plant, this observer concludes that silica aids
in ripening of grain" by causing the early
death of leaves, .whieh is followed by a
passage of their nutritive matters 'to the
seeds. c Thus in au’experiment without silica
30 seeds were produced ; with a little silica
90 seeds; with much silica, 184_seeds. Silica
also tends to prevent the absorption by plants
of. superfluous quantities of essential mineral

 

 

. matter, thus keeping the soil from unneces-

sary exhaustion.

In a paper upon “electro manic,” Mr. W.
Mattieu Williams lays that -the"~leading
fallacy urgin'g'electroemaniacs of the present
day to ruinous investments is the idea that
electric-lighting-is. in its infancy. Directly
following -thc.briliiant discoveries of Faraday
Ampere, and others, éame numerous electro-
motors, and a parade of the wonderful re-
sults obtained with machines which, it was
believed, were quickly to supersede steam-
engines. This [was nearly a half- century
ago, and electrical progress has been less
rapid than many seem to believe. Compar-
ing an electric railway of forty years ago
(upon which he himself rode) with' one of
to—day, and the experimental steamrailway
of that time with the perfection and ubiqui-
tous modern affair, Mr. Williams'afiirms that
the rate of advance in electricity; has been
far slower than that of steam during the last
four decades. As to electro lightning. it is
older than gas-lighting, and its strides have .
been much less rapid and positive. ~Sir
Humphrey Davy exhibited the ele'ctric light
in London while the city was dimly lighted
by oil-lamps, and befbre gas-lighting had
been attempted anywhere. The lamp used
by Davy at the beginning of this-century
was capable of giving a dazzling are four
inches in length—being vastly more brilliant
than modern arc-light. Even the incande-
scent lamp is nothing new.but was,originally
invented by a young American named Starr,
who died in 1849. This inventor, in,wbosc
experiments Mr. Williams shared tried wicks
of platinum :and of platinumjfiand iridnim
alloys, and abandoned them,as Edison did
thirty years later. , Varietisjforms of carbon
were then :tried, including the ~ identical
form now used by Edison. In fact,'this old
lamp was almont identical in all important
details with the modern ones of Edison,
Swan and others. Its only scientific defect
was due to the collecting of a carbon film on
the glass globe. . .
