Afeor several ýears of experimentirig with the incandescent light, the coînpany which presumnably had doue its best, has failed to give us light that inay be depended on. Sometixnes we have light in the eveniugs (oceasionally good light thul over to the f ull capae ity of the bunr)sometimes we have noue; the saine in the mornings from about five o'clock until daylight; but what of thse small hours of the night? Simply darkuess, and if there is 8ickness ln the liouse or the lire alarm sounds ýoie cannot get up without groping about for matches and canule or iamp the saine as iu the old time, before eleetrie lighting was known. Occasional failure of the Iight may be unavoidable, but whermtlie-power îa purposeLy- eut-off for two or three hours of the night it is certaiuly uot keeing faith with pdople who have gone' to the expense of electric fixtures ou the distinct promise of an al uight service.
