Light for Ticket-Takers.

A novel application of the electric light is now to be witnessed in the vehicles of the London General Omnibus Company. Owing to the difficulty o) deciphering the crumpled tickets ai night the inspectors have been provided with an electrical apparatus, which, from a case about the size of a hunting watch, fastened to the waistcoat, throws a steady, mild, and most effective light on the dirtiest and most tattered tickets. The battery is concealed in a sidepocket, and furnishes an eight hours’ supply of electricity.
