There are 206 electric lights in tbe city, and at this season of the year, when animate nature ia fall of life, the lights attract ao dense a swarm of moths tbat tbe carbons are destroyed and a maas of metal formed composed of the faaed car bon and the metallic portion of the mil lers that are burned up. This new com pound is a cariosity and ia respectfully referred to Prof. Redway to give a name for tbe new metal, which may have soma new aad peculiar qualities. An examination of tbe insect, de* stroyed yesterday in the glass shade, of the electric light revealed twenty differ ent kinds of motba. It ia impossible to tell how many moth, are killed nightly, as tbevlittle codlin moth, are to badly burned as to be undistinguiahable in separate bodies, snd ao uncountable. But it ia safe to say that each electric I>gbt destroys 1000 moths daily, or 208, --000 per day for tbe whole number of burners; or 86,320,000 per annum. Tbat is a great snd important achievement.
