“FIAT LUX!” How the Gas ‘Companies Fecl Concerning Edison’s Reported Invention. Is GASLIGHT WANING? Some Very Decided Opinions that the Electric Light Will Not Be Successful. ‘The deseription in the Hznarp of Saturday last of Mr, Edison's invention for the utilization of the elec- tric light has excited great inverest among all classes of people. Most of the officers of the gaslight compa- nies especially seem cn, to obtwin fuller informa. Von, and would gladly satisly themselves personally that i 18 not practicable, Some of them express great incredulity, not with an appearance of quict conf. deuce, but with a nervous vohemence that doos not ‘Add force to thelr words, Mavy persons in this coun- bry besides Mr. Edison havo been trying to solve the problem of dividing aud controlling tho electric light, The gasiight companies have frequently received Offers of the ‘discoveries’? made by these persons, but have :nvariably ound them, on investigation, to be utterly worthless for their purposes, There is no doubt that if they bad proved available they would Dave been eagerly purchused, The presidents and directors have constantly watched the progress of electric experiments in Zuropo, and oach of the com panies evidently desires to forestull the others if pos- siblo in getting possession of such a lump as Edison Deheves bis vo bo, ‘To « reporter of the HzmaLp one of tho mtnor officers of the Brooklyn Gaslight Compauy yesterday guid :— “This cortainly seems like a wonderful thing. If Edison is not mistaken in what he claims for hia Inst Greation it will be utterly impossible for tbe gas com- paniesto compete with it. If he has overcome the Costlivess o: the electric light 1 must supersede all Other means of illumination.” “What 18 the actual cost of your gas por thousand Bubic fees?” “If you refer to the materials alone the cost is about itty conts.’? “Well, in the evont of a great competition rising up agaist you, so that it would be a question of ‘rule er ruin,’ what is tho lowest price.at which you could bell gost’? “One dollar and a half or $1 a thougand in the dla- tricts where the competition might exist, But we should be obliged tu keep up our price elsewhere It is now $2 50.” ‘And if there were no ‘elsewhere,’ Otnello’s occu- pation would be gone?’” “Exactly.” ‘The president of the Brooklyn Gaslight Company, Mr, A. W. Benson, professed to be very ignorant in Yogard to themerits of the electric light, He had constantly kept bimsell au fait concerning the prog- ress of acientific discovory to artificial mean s of Iliu- Mmynation, but he was notable to give asy definite opinion on the subject as yet. “It Edjson’s method of employing cleetricity to Produce light,” said the reporter, ‘should prove to be practicable would your company endeavor to se- sure tho right to use it in Brooklyo?’”? “1 do not know what we shouid do.”? “You bave had this contingency in view, have yeu aoe” ; “Yes; but we have not come to any determina- Mou.” ‘In cage of this threatened competition how low could you sell gas?’? “Not a cent lower than we sell now.’? AN EXPERT'S OPINION. The reporter next called upon Major G. Warren Dresser, the editor of the American Gaslight Journal, who went to Europe a few months ago lor the express purpose of investigating the Gevelopment or the elec- tric light in the laboratories of French and English shemists, He romarked that be bad found nothing In fis observations to indi¢ate that electricity would ever supersede gas (or common and domestic use, It produced a light of great intensity but of little vol- ‘ume. 1n othor words it is, ho said, not so diffusive as ao ordinary flaine of the same size.
