CITY HAS ARTISTIC LIGHTS Alhambra, Cal., Sets Example Which Other Places Will Be tlkely ' to Follow. Instead of the unsightly and often unheeded traffic sign, the city of Alhambra, Cal., has adopted a more striking and ornamental device for -warning pedestrians and vehicle drivers. In the accompanying illustration, one of these guideposts is shown on duty at a point where a wide boulevard turns and becomes parallel to the private right of way of the electric

railway. Accidents might be very numerous at this point were it not for the five-light electrolier with both red and white frosted globes, the white lights overlooking the boulevard side, and the red illuminating the electric road. This pleasing device is conspicuous day and night, and a driver is indeed reckless who would overlook this warning.—Popular Science Monthly and World’s Advance.
