The Electric Light. }. W. FEBRIGO, DELTA TAU Dera FRATERSITY: In 2810 Sir Humphrey Davy exhibited before the Royal Society the arclight. Ht was produced by a battery of two thousand celis. The are was formed between ino charcoal points and quite naturally because | of the intense heat the charcoal was rapidty- consumed, For forty-four years it remained a brilliant laboratery experiment, and then when gas carbon wes substituted for the charcoal it seemed that the eléctric light was to be more permanent, But the principal difficulty was still ic be overcome. The pro- deetion of the ight required a powerful cut- rent, and this could not be econemically pre- duced by hatteries. Davy’s battery of tye theusand elements produced the hght suc- cossiully, but they, like other strong batteries, Jest bat a short time and are not at ell prac tical for electric lighting. In Paris the light becarne popular and though it was costiy it was used for lighting theatres and public squares. ‘ Faraday’s .discovery of a current. being 7 vually, improved until after 1860, when the | “largest and most powerful machines were woe oe ae ao are. {out sections ig “eat Tag THE sP ECULUM. 36 ar the felki of 2 taagnet, a current would be varying in strength: induced in the coil, according to the strength of the magnet arid . the number of turns of wire in the- coils uv year after Faraday’s important discovery 2 machine was devised to put it inte practi- cal use. Tt was constructed by Pix and consisted of an electro-magnet, opposite whose..poles the poles of a permanent magnet were revolved. This produced a eurrent in the colls of the electro-magnet and saa current of electricity was produced by mechanical means. This was the beginning of the dynamo. _ Two years later Saxton designed a machine in which the magnet owas fixed and thecoils revelved. In nearly ali the machines made since, this is found to be the best plan. - hese machines were grad- “made. - These were the Alliance machines.

The exséri- ments have not been conducted long enough as yet ta warrant the drawing -of any definite conclusions, They have shown, however, that intensive farming in the full msantng of the term is the only thing that can make the land productive. The error inte which most of the farmers of the region, and the axperiment sta- tien as well, have fallen, isthe attempt te cultivate too mnuich land. The subjugation of theland is expensive, and by confining the energies te a smatler area, and cultivating that thoreughly, better results can be” ob-. tained than by attempting too much.
