New Lighting System for Lumber Camps The accompanying; illustration shows an interesting1 equipment for lighting service, which is known as the "Carbic ; This system of furnishing light in isolated places is especially adaptahle for use in connection with lumber camp operations, being of service not only for actual bush operations, bill also for the lighting of the lumber camps. The operation of "Carbic Light" is a very simple matter. It produces a powerful, white light, and the equipment requires no attention. It is portable, and is absolutely safe, as well as inexpensive. The special feature of the Carbic system of lighting is the use of "Carbic cakes," w hich take the place of ordinary carbide of cal- cium. The carbic cakes are simply dropped into the machine as required and each of these cakes will produce approximately 15 cubic feet of pure acetylene. By the construction oi the generators, the gas is automatically pro- duced as required; that is to say, as soon as the lights are turned out generation ceases, and it is resumed when the lamps arc again put in operation. There is, therefore, no waste, nor is there any after-generation, w hich is such an unpleasant feature in connection with some classes of acetylene lights; none of the characteristic unpleasant smell of carbide is experienced. Each cake will generate up to the last fragment. The operating expense i-, below that of ordinary coal oil. One Idling of "Carbic Cakes" will keep the lam]) burning steadily up to 12 hours, giving from 500 to 5,000 candle power as required. This system is possibly the newest, most simple, and most efficient method of producing a volume of perfect light,
