But across the road The Ladies' Paradise glowed with its deep, serried lines of gas jets. She moved nearer, again attracted and, as it were, warmed by that ardent blaze.
The hall was illuminated by huge rings of gas jets suspended from the ceiling. The lights pained my eyes so intensely that, while sitting on the platform, I was compelled to look at the floor.
大厅被悬挂在天花板上的巨大气体喷射环照亮。灯光刺痛了我的眼睛,坐在平台上的我不得不看着地板。

Capetown, California
Capetown (formerly, Gas Jet and False Cape) is a locality in Humboldt County, California. It is located on the Bear River 3 miles (5km) northeast of Cape Mendocino, at an elevation of 49 feet (15m).
The Gas Jet post office operated from 1868 to 1876. The name referred to escaping gas from an oil well. The False Cape post office opened in 1870, changed the name to Capetown in 1879, and closed for good in 1937.
