THE LIGHTING OF THE CATHEDRAL.
With regard to the new gas-installa-tion at the Cathedral, tbe Chapter has reported that an estimate for acetylene gas lighting was obtained, and inquiry was also made as to the possibility of obtaining connection with an electric dynamo. Uh_mately the Chapter -pceptcd <a most libtr«_ offer ihun the Christoburch Gas Cfc_rrpany to put into the nave and choir an installation of Welsbach incandescent burners in graceful coronaa of iron, euapended on brackets from the clerestory watts. The ocranae were mode _* the work* of the Gas Company. The Can.pa.ny g-neromly conceded to the Chapter most liberal terms, granting it five years for the repayment of the cost (£100), by which time the greater part of this sum will have been saved by the reduced rate of consumption with a great increase of light.
