Reviewing the development and progi made In what has become one of the gre c-i American industries , Hicclrldty sun \n i ho year ism has come to a close It ml be In pUce to cast a retrospective gin ovrr the lost twelve months with a view noting how the onward march of time nffetted the ek-ttilcnl Industry. That litter is , generally speaking , more pt porous than H was nt the Hon of 1S9S shown In the tact that many electrical ma fauurlng concerns now have ordorn boo several months ahead , which was certal not the cnso u yeiir ago , This Is undon edly duo not only to the fact that cap which liift year was tied up on account the war has again become active , but : to the fact that the demand for Amorl eleetrlcal apparatus nnd machinery abr haH boon on the Increaso. In Iho field of eloctrlo lighting noth startling has occurred , although many i lighting plants have been . -reeled In 1 in various parts of the country The Nor lamp , which a year ago In the opinion many gave promise of revolutionising ox Ing systems of lighting , linn scarcely cr up to expectations owing to a grave dot namely , that of having to make u.so o spirit lamp for her Hug the high resista rod rompopad of rare earths. Kor sti lighting and other purposed the cnclo an lamp still continues to grow In po larlty , while for Indoor lighting Incandcsc lamps , similar to those that have been use for yean , still have the call.

This economical nnd t clent means of operating electric rallw will undoubtedly see n more universal plication In the year 1'JOO than It hrs he toforo. The tiansmlttlng of electrical power o distances up to eighty miles has made ra stride's dining the past twelve months.

To what extent this h nesslng ot streams has grown may Inferred when It IB stated that at the pr cnt time there are no less than 150 wn power electric plants scattered all over country , representing nn Investment capital of $60,000,000 A considerable p tlon of the electric power derived In t way Is employed In propelling street cj Homo COO miles of toad being opoiatcd w power derived from streams.
