Experiments are now being carried on In
Europe which cclontlsta think may rcvolit-
tlonUo the whole IlBlitlng uystom ol the
world. The Incandescent nnd the are lamp
will become obsolete
have them
isvo nojv
and the promises of the Tcsla nyotcm of Il
lumination will not need to bo fuinilcd. The
Bslontlst conducting thtao experiments Is the
great Aimtrlnn physicist , I'uliiJ ( pronounced
1'ululo ) , whoso resenrchea and discoveries In
the domain of what U known as "cold
light" have given him promlnciico and Eland-
Ing In the scientific world. Fifteen yearn
BKO ho Invented a w-cnlled phoiphorcscont
lamp. It uxcltcd little comment nt the time ,
oti Itas thought to bo but an innovation
of the tubes of Gelasler or Crooltes. But In
tlio light of modern other theories It has
taken on vast Importance. It generates not
only very Intense Itocntgen rayn , but It oUo
tranfcfunns nearly all of the energy of the
olortrlo current Into light. It omltx on In-
tei. o grccnlsh-whlto light In sufficient quan
tity to "Illuminate a email room , " I'rof.
Kbert , the well known German scientist , haa
tnado meaRiirements which chow that a single
horeo power of elcctrlo energy would bo
iulllclent to operate 10.000,000 I'ulul Imnjia.
Tble clinply mentis that wo ore on the
verge of a vast discovery In electric eclcnce.
Taken In connection with n rsccnt state
ment of I'rof. Oliver J. Lodge , wo can well
bellovo that the lighting ey tcm of the fu
ture will bo llttlo eliort of marvelous ns far
as the Melioration of the light Is concerned ,
Frof. Lodge , who la the bead of the Depart
ment of Experimental Phyalcs In University
College , Liverpool , nays that "If mechanical
energy can bo converted entirely Into light
lone , one man turning the crank ot a sulta-
blo machine could generate enough light for
whole city. " I'uluJ claims that his lamp
fulfills this condition , and Is working bard to
bring It down to a practical Iwsli. If ho
does so. be will have perfected tin most
conomlo lighting system In the world.
< TIIU LIGHT OP TUB FUTt'nB. '
Tbcjto statements may bo said to recount
the Initial aVUrupU to produce w.at ) Is
popularly known as "the light ot tbe future. "
It U tlio dream ot sctonlUti at tbe present
time to produce light without bent , That Ute
to perfect a system In wlilub every bit ot
tbe producing energy will bo turned Into
llbt. As our elcctrlo lighting yitem DOW
slits , only from 1 to 3 per cent of 100 per
cent Is expended In light. The rc.it of the
energy panes off In tbo form ot beat , it Is
this luimi'Dte watte ot energy which makes
it neceasiry for us to employ strain eurriucv
4yoamci end expeuw ircallng apparatus uf
L
all klndsi In producing what Is after all but
a mere residue of Illumination. In. short , to
procure 2 or 3 per cent of Illumination , we
are compelled to throw away 07 or 98 per cent
of heat. Scientists , then , are striving toi nave
\\asto and this practically Is
thla Immenseasto
what Prof. Ledge means by siylng that If It
becomes possible to convert mechanical
energy Into light alone a whole city might bo
lighted by tbo simple turning ot a crank
ehaft.
ehaft.WHAT THE NHW LAMP IS LIKE.
Puluj's lamp Is not operated by dynamos or
storage batteries. It operates with a different
Irlnd of electric current. It Is lighted by
means of an Induction cell or a glass plato
electric machine. The static electricity thus
produced Is the same In every respect as
lightning. It la atmospheric and Its voltage
or elcctro-motlvo force Is so great that It
will readily pasa through the air. It need
therefore surprise no one to know that the
lamp of Puluj can bo operated , oven though
only ono terminal of the Induction cell ( the
negative polo for Instance ) Is connected to U.
The lamp Itself Is shaped very much the
same as an ordinary Edison Incandescent
lamp , except that the wires leading Into the
lamp do not extend up the neck from n
socket. They extend directly through the
side of tbo bulb. They are made of
aluminium. The negative polo or cathode ,
ends In a email reflector-shaped disc. Hang-
lug from the point or apex of the lamp globe
Is a small square sheet of mica. The piece
of mica faces the reflector disc or negative
polo and Is painted with sulphide of calcium ,
an extremely phosphorescent substance.
When the negative polo of tha lamp Is con
nected \\ith an Induction cell the current
Is , as It were , concentrated by tbo llttlo disc
In the lamp and a constant stream of radiant
electric matter flows from It and bombards
the painted sheet of mica which Immediately

Blow * with an Intensely
C ° Thls1Su'PuluJ's lamp as It exists today.
The heat evolved from It Is Infinitesimal in
quantity. Nearly all of the energy put Into
It ls converted Into light. It la therefore llio
nearoat possible approach to cold light that
has yet been made. Hut It Is not In Its
present etaco available for general lighting
purposes. PiilnJ Is experimenting with a
view to arriving at a solution of the ob
stacle. It Is his "belief that the general ad
vancement of lighting and the tolutlon of
the problem of making light entirely without
heat will be found by chemical means. Ho Is
carrying on a aeries of Investigations to the
end of producing a chemical lighting system.
Not the production ot light through the con
sumption of chemicals , but , as far as can be
learned , the chemical conversion of the other
Into light. It Is uot easy to Imagine bow
this Is to be done , but such Is tbe statement.
Puluj , it the fates smllo on his experiments ,
ulll tome day bate an ether system ot light
production on bis little lamp. He Is seeking
to dcvhe some method for oscillating tbe
ether eo as to produce light. In case of
turcees his lamp would become an object of
great Interest. Great obstacles Ho In the
way and for tbo sake of tbe uninitiated a
little explanation may bo necessary.
1 SOUUOB OP LIGHT.
that ' 'tho do
The man who maintains sun
move"lll declare that It U also the source
ot light. Hut the modem eclentlit , while
ArquleicInK In tlio fact , will add that light
Is a condition of tbe surrounding ether which
may on occasion to disturbed or regulated
so ca to piodtire a concentration ot Illumina
tion nt a certain point. ThU point may bo a
I'uluJ lamp or some othei Agent , It matters
not ju t now. The object to be sought Is the
mc li d of coucvntratlou. Light trau-Ia at
the rate ot 185,000 miles a second. In travel
ing at this great speed the ether or atmos
phere which conveys the light Is vibrated up
and down , sideways and crosswise , at the
rate of many trillion oscillations per second.
Thus It not only goes forward at great ppeed ,
but it also vibrates In Its passage. To make
light of this nature It would therefore be
necessary to cause the ether to oscillate nt a
tremendous rate. Prof. L"odge estimates that
to produce ether waves ono meter In length
would require 300,000,000 oscillations pet
second. Now , when a Leyden jar is dis
charged of Its electricity , the latter dis
turbs the other surrounding the jar and
carves It Into wavea. which travel away
into space with a velocity of 185,000 miles per
second , the same velocity as that ot light.
But the oscillatory power1 Is not sufficient to
produce light. Hero a discrepancy creeps In.
Again quoting Prof. Ledge , It may bo well
to point out that "a common pint Leyden
Jar discharging through a pair of tongs may
start a system of ether waves each not longer
than about fifteen or twenty meters , and Its
certain chemical Improvements In Ills lamp.
In a recent lecture too stated that Hertzlou
rays or electrical oscillations generated by
Leyden jar discharges varle'd from 1,000,000
to 10,000,000 per second , according to the
size of the Jar , but that thin would have to
bo Increased to 400,000,000,000,000 ( four hun
dred trillions ) oscillations per second before
they would become visible as red light.
Some conception of what this means maybe
bo had by remembering that a tuning fork
Vibrating at the rate of 1,000 oscillations
per second would be compelled to vibrato
1,200 years in > order'tp encompass this num
ber of oscillations. There Is , therefore ,
something of a task In store for the scien
tists who expect to harness the ether and
make it produce light. Puluj says that the
pulsations of electric rays become more rapid
as the metallic coating ot the Leydeu jars
gets smaller. That Is , the discharge from
a very thin coating will produce a greater
number ot oscillations than one from a
thicker coating. Calculations show that If

rate ot escalation will be something Ilk
10,000,000 per second. A liny thlmble-elzed
Jar overflowing Its edge may propagate waye
only about two or three feet long. " It will
thus bo seen that tbe rate of electrical os
cillation capable ot being produced by ap
paratus now obtainable la not sufficient to
cause an appearance ot sustained light.
Oscillators have been made with a capacity
for generating ether waves 1,900 kilometers
or 1.200 miles long , but tbo rate of their
oscillation (157 ( complete awlnge per second )
Is not sufficient for practical purposes. The
object aimed at , then , by scientists Is to
produce an oscillation of electrical waves
which will equal the oscillation of tbe ether
when wrought up to a light-giving pitch.
HOW TO HARNESS THE ETHEH.
U ii tbe Intention of Puluj to bridge over
part of the Intmculog gap by means of
3 the- coating could be made as small as the
material molecules of tbe Atmosphere the
1 oscillations would -reach many billions per
1 second. To produce this extremely thin
coating Is the great 'problem , for If this
molecular film could discharge Its electricity
In conjunction will ) the .molecules surround
ing It oscillation * would bo produced wbicl |
might under certain circumstances bo per
ceived as light. It the frequency Is greater
than 700.000,000,000 , ultra violet or 'X rays
would be produced , i ( i
HOW DA'YLIGHT IB MADE.
If It Is possible to o vibrate the ether
as to cause It to produce light we would get
a very Dear approach to , d yllght. Phos
phorescent substances brought within range
ot the oscillating machine could , be made to
glow vividly. U la probablu that the energy
of the oscillator vtoulf be made to flow to
two reflectors or plates placed opposite each
other. Certain objects held between the
reflectors would give off light. It Is found
that where n vacuum la concerned the rate
ot oscillations need not bo so high In order
that light may be produced. Even now , it
a Puluj lamp Is held between two metal
surfaces which form part of a high fre
quency electric circuit , the lamp will gow ! ,
even though no metal connection bo made
between it and the surface. In short , the
molecules of the atmosphere , or , to bo more
exact , the ether , Is more easily affected In a
vacuum than under ordinary conditions. ,
Tcsla once made a remark which was full
of the spirit of future progress In the mat
ter of lighting. "It Is of not little Interest , "
ho said , "to contemplate that wo have a
possible way of producing by other than
chemical means a veritable flame which
would glvo light and heat without any ma
terial being consumed , without any chemi
cal process taking place , and to accomplish
this wo only need to perfect methods ot
producing enormous frequencies and poten
tials. " These words of Mr. Tcsla contain
a suggestion tha full meaning of which
has lately been more thoroughly under
stood. To produce something from nothing
has over been n great human problem , not
always solvable. Hero la a great scientist
pointing out a scientific way of accomplish
ing the feat. The hidden meaning of the
remark Isnot bard to discern. His words
would ecem to Intimate that we have been
employing exceedingly crude methods of
light production ; that In the laboratory of
nature means and material exist which maybe
bo procured and ured for the mere asking ;
that our proper course would ba first ( o see
how light id produced In nature , and then
au far as possible go and do likewise. The
barnerslng of tbo other means the solution
of many great secrets of universe , the utili
zation of natural light , the subtle transmis
sion of speech through miles of space and
the greatest triumph science haa yet known ,
