Dr. Langmulr found that these tungsten lamps, when filled with inert gas, would give an even mora brilliant light. Today mora than million lamp bulbs are made daily, and in the world at large more than 400,000,000 incandescent lamps burn every 24 hours with the number Increasing constantly. a delicious piping hot breakfast out of an automatic electric range which is automatically heated at a certain hour designated by the clock and tha temperature of which Is also carefully regulated.

Earlv Electric Iron Was Crude Affair Modern Article of Beauty and Efficiency Shows High Development A short time ago one of the largest leetrlcal companies In tha United Suits placed on exhibit three electric Irons of different dates, showing the Heady propnwa In Its construction. There, side by side, were the first crude electric iron, placed on the market in 1890.

the more modern, hut sadly out of date iron of 1907. and that creaUon of combined beauty and utlliy, tha iron of 1920. Tha first of thens was a clusmy, awkward affair of tha same general design as the heavy crudely shaped flat Iron of that time. A hole was cut in this and an electric resistance coll was put In for heating purpose's. A fluxIWe wire for attaching it to the lamp nocket was permanently fastened to the Iron.

The Iron of 1907 was a big Improvement over that of 1SS0 and was the real forerunner of that of the present. It had a wooden handle in place of the oM Iron handle, which got too hot to be held without a cloth. It weighed less and was better balanced. The cord was still permanently attached, but a spring placed close to the Iron protected the cord from becoming kinked and breaking. This iron was nickel plated.

It has the wooden handle, but the handle straps have been curved slightly outward so as to give more room to the hand. The cord Is detach-table.
