THE ELECIRIC LIGHT. Its Subdivision In Salem, Ma In 1850- The First Use of the Electrlo Lightinn Private House—Yome Interesting Com. parisons, Correspondence New York Eren'ng Poat. Barrest, Mass., Feb. 2—As at the present time everything s of Interest which has to do with the electric Hght, some Information gath- cred here fn regard to its histury may not be witbout interest. Bome montbs ago, Prof. Morton, of the Btevens Institute at Hoboken, N, J., gate a lecture upon the uses of the electric lght which was largely attendeid by students nnd the owners of gas-stocks, To the former It was the oceasjon of much pleasure’ because of the suc- cess and benuty of the experiments by which 1t waas illustrated; and to the latter class of hear- ers because of the oncouragement it gavo them Iu regard to the probable value of thelr securi- ties, present and to comes The New York newspapers, however, gave Very meagre reports of this.valuable lecture, und only gradunlly has it appeared how important & part it ia of the discussion of electricity versus gas. The sumn and substaoee of Prof. Mor- ton's couclusions ot that timo were, that the clectric light was not yet to be regarded as In any'way a practfeal success, beeause no one bad beea abla to subdivide 1t In u way that would maxo it useful for dumestic or for street- lighting purposes. He Intended this remark to apply fa #ts broadeat sence, and hence excluded what [ am about to retate, probabdly through Ig- narance of the facts. Salem, o8 cverybody knows, is a dead old town which lives mainly on the atrengtn of ils recollections. It Is much lfke a cemnetery : those who ure foside would be preased to ges out, and those who arc outside have 1o desire to becomo residents; yet everybody likes to come here, as 10 Mt. Aubura or Grsenwood, to sve the monu- ments. One of Balem's proudest recolivetions Juat at this time I8 the fact that she {s able to deuy the truth of Prof. Morton's statement, und positively assert that within her precinets the subdivision of the electric licht not ooly began, but for a Joux tine continued tu bs nu entlru suceesa, ‘There is no evidence that [ am aware of to controvert the asscriion that the first privato dwelling-house ever lihted b clectricity was at No. 11 Pearl street, o this wroud old’elty! ‘Lhe history of this success a acore of years azo Is brict und explivit.

Mr. Farmer kept theso lamps ju unlinpeded operation during allof the fonth of July, umk might bave con- tinued them to this day. 'vof, Morton's state« uients, therefore, wers fu error. At the end of the month the use of this light was discontinued becausu Mr. Furmer found that its coat, with his spparatus, was about four timos ns greut as the cost of gas. ‘Uhe acids winl zhne ned 11 8o powerful & battery are larwe {n quantiy und expensive. .
