The direction Of lighting by incandescence,
This notion is as old as 1sl5. An electric lamp was
invented on this principle III that year by American
by the name Of King who took out patent for light
based on the OF burner OF the most infusble
ais or OF continuous carbon heated TO brilliant white
ness by the passage OF the electric current.
The light was produced in a glass tube in which
vacuum had previously been created the object OF this
being 10 prevent the combustion Of the carbon or metal
by the oxygen Of the air King took his Idea to England
and patented II there II improved by Greener and
Static the following year. 1t is worthy Of notice that
Kings lamp created an agitation among the
holders OF gas stocks from ls45 TO ls49
equal in every respect TO that produced
1878 by Mr.. EdisOn's announcement The agitation
extended 10 the United States, where the alarming
topic was much discussed by the gas companies and
where this unfortunate discovery" they called il,
was regarded as the death-bOw 10 illumination with
gas The alarm passed away, however, In few years
