again energy to the extent of an hour's work of one horse- 

 power." The Faure cell may be charged by a voltaic battery 

 or by any generator or dynamo-electric machine giving a direct 

 current. The light of incandescent lamps worked by the 

 Faure accumulator is perfectly steady, being absolutely free 

 from those fluctuations which may usually be detected in the 

 action of the dynamo-electric machines. Its great use for 

 the electric light consists not only in its supplying the means 

 of carrying a store of electricity about, but in affording a regu- 

 lator for theJamps. In fact these might remain lighted for 

 hours, even if the electric supply from the engine were in- 

 terrupted. A train lighted up with incandescent electric 

 lamps, worked by Faure's accumulators, has been running 

 continuously for some months between London and Brighton, 

 without any failure of the light once occurring. This inven- 

 tion imparts to electric illumination as great a degree of readi- 

 ness and certainty in working as has been claimed for gas- 

 lighting.
