Lights by the Ten Thousand.

The new Broad Street Station ot the Pennsylvania Railroad at Philadelphia, when completed, will contain over a hundred miles of concealed electric wiring. About fifty-three miles of wire will be required for the electric lighting alone, which will be done by about 10,000 incandescent lights. Not a gas pipe can be found, in the great structure, the sole reliance being on the electric lights. In the waiting room alone there will be 2,500 lights, located prihcipally in the ceiling, where they will be arranged in rows about the large square panels. The office building will require about 6,000 lights, while the other 1,500 will be used ip the rooms on the ground floor, retiring dining rooms and restaurant.—* [Electrical Review.
