potentiality of light has been barely drawn upon, the present usages
surpass the most extravagant dreams of civilized beings a half-century

enforced reversion to the primitive flames of fifty years ago would
paralyze many activities. Much of interest and beauty would be blotted
out of this brilliant, pulsating, productive age. It is startling to
note that almost the entire progress in artificial lighting has taken
