Abstract
AMONG the “Notes” in NATURE for July 19 (p. 281), where the products of combustion are given for various illuminants in common or uncommon use, and where coal-gas, oils, and candles have a fearful amount of both water-vapour and carbonic acid charged against them, the return for electric lights both in the arc and incandescent shapes is given as 0.0 for each; a return which is there considered to show “the great supremacy of electric lighting over all the other methods of illumination when considered as a matter of health.”
