AS BRIGHT AS OLD SOL.
Tesla Produces Vacuum Tubes
Which Gives Most Powerful Light.
From the New Yorl, World

Tesla Produces Vacuum Tubes
Which Gives Most Powerful Light.
From the New York World.
Nikola Tesla announced another i'm
portant discovery yesterday. the perfec-
ton of the phosphorescent vacuum tubes
50 that they may be employed wherever
an Illumination Of the highest power is
desired.
While his experiments with the i'm
proved tubes have been confined to show
ing their efficiency in photography, Tesla
lighting system will be practical wherever
illumination is needed-in lighthouses, on
sea-going vessels and as search-lights to
penetrate the densest fogs.
With his improved vacuum tubes and
oScillator Tesla can now produce a light
almost as bright and strong as the hottest
sun rays. This light has been employed
at night in the taking of photographs
which have been pronounced by experts
as examples not equalled by any taken
by day under the most favorable circum-
stances.
One of these pictures is that of a man
taken i'm a darkened room, with an ex-
posture to a single vacuum tube of less
than five seconds. Every wrinkle in the
mars
of the beard and mustache are as distinct
as could be desired.
A remarkable example is a PHOTOGRAPH
of the palm of Tesla's hand. The small
est lines in the hand are SO clear they
may be traced with a pencil. In taking
The picture a portion of the inventors
sleeve was accidentally shown The tex
ture of the garment and the linen threads
of his cuff are clearly pictured. The pho
tograph was made by the light of single
tube of 1000 candle-power at distance
of four feet, with an exposure of two Sec
onds.
A third picture was that of an open
book. The reproduction is SO distinct that
the print may be easily read without the
aid of a glass. 2r
Il expect SOON" said Tesla. "to have
the tubes so improved that with the use
of only one l can Photograph the largest
building perfectly on the very darkest
night. This though. is only the first step
in my experiments.
Il am far from having obtained the
limit in the amount of light producible
l believe this method of illumination will
he employed eventually in lighthouses
and this, l imagine, will be considered
the oldest and most unlooked-for devel-
opment."
In the taking of the photographs Tesla
estimated the frequency of the oscilla-
tons, which were obtained from an Edi-
son direct-ourrent supply circuit, at about
two millions a second. This great power
consumption makes it impractcable at
present for the tubes to supplant the in
candescent light for ordinary illuminating
purposes, for the consumption is about
ten times greater in the tubes. The rea-
son for this Tesla explains in the fact
that vacuum tube offers an immense
radiating surface, greater than ten times
that of the incandescent light.
Tesla refused TO discuss any of his furth-
er experiments, but it is likely the i'm
proved tubes will be tried in some of the
neighboring lighthouses, where their prac-
ticabiity may be finally determined.
