IN older to test the quantity of Gas consumed by the Weisoaeh Ineandesceat .burner, which is comity so rapidly into use in Wellington, which is extensively used in Auckland, both for household and streetlighting purposes, and which is practically universal in Sydney,

A TEST was made in Wellington on the evening of the Bth September last, and the results were recorded, showing the relative cost of the gas consumed by a Welsbach Burner in producing a given intensity of light as compared with the cost of electricity producing an exactly similar degree of illumination. Several gentlemen holding iuipoitant official positions in Wellington were present, and the test was carried out in the following manner:— A 50 Candle-power electric lamp was placed at a distance of 12 feet from a Welsuaeh Incandescent Gas light. A mark at equal distances fiom the two lights was accurately iixod between them, and a white card was placed upiight ou the rnaik between the iwo lights. It was foucd what the light irom tLe Incandescent Uas Lamp anew much the stronger shadow.
