$1.00. ELECTRIC LIGHTING. Different Methods on Which Arc and incandescent Lamps Work. The arc light and the incandescent light work on totally different principles. It was noted many years ago that when an electric circuit was broken the current jumped across a slight gap.

producing a brilliant flame. The shape of, this flame was roughly an arc from one conductor to the other. Thus the word arc was adopted. All arc lamps burn in the air and not in vacuum. The light is produced by the current leaping across a small air gap between the two electrodes, or carbon pencils, and heating the tips of the carbons white hot.

Floating particles of white hot carbon also add to the brilliancy. A mechanism is necessary to feed in the carbons as fast as they burn away, or otherwise the gap would increase until the current could not jump across and the light would go out. I The incandescent lamp, common in most homes and office buildiugs, is obtained from a piece of white hot wire, heated by the passage of an electric current. The Wire must be inclosed iu a glass bulb from wThich the air has been exhausted, otherwise it would quickly be burned up and consumed. The wire filament is now made of tungsten, which resists the flow of electricity with so much vigor that the current, in working to get by the obstruction, heats the wire to incandescence, hence the name.
