Manywho were prevented from using elec- wire many times greater in cross-sectionthan the wire. The current Avhichmelted the copper Avire did not affectthe filament. The market in Canada lor this newlight is assured. It is estimated thatthe Dominion of Canada consumes overfive million lamps per anninn at the pre-sent time. What will be the consump-tion when the cost of electric lightingwill be reduced, as previously stated?It need hardly be said that the Helionwill be introduced into every home. TheHelion Electric Company, limited, hasbeen formed with its head office at To-. Exhibit No. 1 of Helion Electric Co. tricity, owing to its cost, will now instalthe new system. A greatly increasedcurrent consumption will result. The durability of the Helion filamenthas been thoroughly tested. It , willstand the every-day uses to Avhicli theelectric light is subjected, Avhile thereis nothing to be feared from an over-load of current. The Helion filamenthas withstood an overload of one Imn-dred per cent, beyond the point of maxi-mum brilliancy, without rupture. Theoverload which one of these filamentswould stand -was demonstrated bymounting it on two pieces of copper i-onto, to acquire the patent rights ofthe Helion lamp for Canada, and tomanufacture this lamp in Canada. Amodern factory, employing hundreds ofhands, will be erected., and a slight esti-mate of the output of this factory maybe obtained if we consider thatthe electric lamp companies all over theworld are experiencing great difficult inmeeting tlie demand.
