tube in room has exactly the effect
Of daylight flooding the windows. Not
withstanding, the tube itself is not try
ing to the eyes. You may look steadily
at it, with no evil effects whatever.
In incandescent lighting, 81 per cent
of the electric current goes to making
the filament hot, leaving but per cent
for illumination. And this brings us to
a second long advantage of the vacuum
tube. 1t never grows hot. You may
touch the glass an hour after the light
is turned on and find it as cool as when
first lighted. An electric bulb in like
case is hot enough to scOrch, not 10

The tubes can be attached to the
electric light fixtures in common use,
but cannot be illumined by the ordinary
current. Or rather they can be made
to glow with it. but the process is too
costly That was one thing that made
the wise men doubtful in the beginning.
A few of them thought Tesla might
probably perfect his light process, but
We're firm in the belief that ic would
remain too costly for commercial use.
Tesla's new dynamo has changed all
that. Contracts now signed insure that
several important structures in New
York City will be equipped with the
new light. There can be no doubt that
it will rapidly supplant other methods

candescent lighting, but the tubes have
the very great virtue of not burning out
after the manner of incandescent globes
or carbon pencils. hence the cost OF
operation will be very much less.
When it comes to use there is simply
no comparison possible. 1t is just the
same as having a day tWenty-four
hours long. Everywhere. for every pur-
pose. artificial daylight equals the real
thing. Witness this picture of the in

artificial daylight. yet it will be seen
that it shows clearly the lines of the
palm and the texture of the cuff and
sleeve.
Nothing remains now but to equip the
world with proper wires. dyndmos, and
so on. Men with money know a good
thing when they see it. even without
artificial daylight. so it is very likely
that in a matter of twelve months there
will be practically no night in any son-
siderable city of the world.

been fulfilled. The invention has been
entirely completed for several weeks.
A day or two ago the authoritative an
nouncement was made that contracts
have already been signed with several
New York business houses to equip
their business places with the new light

which is pushing the new invention are
so certain of its great practical utility
that they predict that it must soon

quency currents" is what Tesla himself
calls it. The name. though clumsy, is
sufficiently descriptive. The essential
parts are a vacuum tube and a special
current of high frequency, produced by
a special dynamo of Tesla's invention.
The tubes" Mr.. Tesla explains, have
had all the air pumped out, but, of
course. are full of ether. The passage
of this special current sets the ether in
motion forming light waves. The light
differs from arc illumination in that it
has no particular center. The whole
tube glows and sheds d radiance like
daylight all around"
The tubes. of course, are sealed tight
at both ends. wire is made fast to
one end. but there is no wire inside.
The tubes at present in use are about a

This story is told to illustrate the

A stranger was one day crossing the
great bridge that spans the Elbe, and
asked a native to direct him to a Ger

Really, my dear sir" said the Ores
dener, bowling low, Il grieve greatly
to say it, but 1 cannot tell you" The
stranger passed on, a little surprised
at this voluble answer to simple ques-
ton. He had proceeded but a short dis
lance when he heard hurried footsteps
behind him. and, turning around, Jaw
the same man running to catch up with
him. In q. moment his pursuer was by
his side, his breath nearly gone, but
