Abstract
A COMMUNICATION in yesterday's Daily News, from a New York correspondent of that paper, gives a glowing, and to all appearance justifiably so, account of Mr. Edison's success in attaining a form of electric lighting that seems to be in all respects much superior to anything hitherto produced. The first impression made on the correspondent was the mild effect of the light on the eyes, its steadiness, and the absence of that ghastly hue which seems to be an invariable accompaniment of the carbon. This new form of light has only been attained after many disappointments on the part of Mr. Edison, who, however, has all along been confident of success.
