The discovery by Mr.. Edison OF the
present form Of incandescent light. be-
gan with a series Of experiments on
various substances to find a material
suitable for the loop. This was the
chief problem the Wizard of Menlo
Park had to contend with. and he
made q series of most costly expert
ments before ne decided upon the car
bon flament. which is the horseshoe
shaped loop seen inside the pear
shaped glass globe Of the incandescent
lamp. Thread loops and tiny card
board horseshoes YER charred into
carbon for the loop, and found TO some
degree suitable: but Mr.. Edison finally
concluded that the fiber OF a certain
kind OF bamboo was the best substance
for the carbon flament. To obtain
this. one of his assistants. Mr.. Frank
MCGOWAN. travelled to and through the
unbroken forests of South America
The recital of his adventures sounds
like a romantic legend. He encount-

beasts. predatory bands Of Indians.
and the ravages Of tropical fever; and
after traversing the continent from
ocean to ocean. fording rivers. wading
swamps and scaling the Cordilleras.
he has finally returned with a varied
stock OF fbrous material, which will
