LIMITED ELECTRIC CURRENT.
The electric lighting station of Bremen, Germany, has adopted a method for the sale of current by which it hopes to reach smafi consumers and induce them to abandon oil lighting. For instancy, a. workman's family living in a small lodging can make a yearly subscription for current to the amount of three 16-candle-power lamps per day, and for this he pays about the same price as for oil. He is entitled to the use of the lamp continually, but more than this number cannot be turned on, as the current-limiter prevents this. However, nothing prevents wiring the quarters for a larger number of lamps, provided no more than the started number are turned on at a time.
