EDIsoN'S CONVERSION OF THE ROENTGEN RAYS
INTO PURE WHITE LIGHT.
THE Electrical Review" in its last issue
nounced by authority that Nikoa Tesla had per-
fected his vacuum tube system OF electric lightning
without wires the possibilities OF which he first
brought TO public notice about five years ago in
lecture before the American Institute OF Electrical
Engineers This light Is whittier. more brilliant and
more intense than the arc light and is produced
with much smaller amount OF electrical energy.
laboratory photograph has been made by means of
this light. with exposure Of only two seconds.
The detail In the photograph is remarkably fine.
Tesla further asserts that his apparatus has been
greatly simpiied and he will soon have 1t ready for
practical use.
Working different lines. Thomas A. Edison has
according TO The Electrical Review be pub
lished tomorrow, succeeded in developing a
kind OF electric lamp vacuum tube by means of
which the R0ntgen rays turned into pure,
white light. Edison's lamp Is ordinary
Crookes tube, coated the interior surface with
crystals of huorescing substance which he
has discovered. similar TO tungstate Of calcium.
The rays. In passing through this coating OF
crystals changed to light. Very little heat Is
generated, and nearly the whole Of the electrical
energy expended is transformed into light. The
lamp Is used In place of the Crookes tube with
the ordinary ray apparatus. Mr. Edison believes
that there great possibilities in his discovery.
apparatus In commercial form. He expects that
before long he will so develop II that II may be used
with great economy on ordinary incandescent
