In The first place. the lamps could not be
used unless some method was devised for
supplying them with current. The force
of the dynamo could not be used 20 tur-
nish these fine resisting ailments with
current in series. 1t was necessary, in
other words, to divide the electric current.
There was a general scientific opinion
that It could not be done. Even after II

that IL had been accomplished by me, the
statement was dScredited and was pro

men, both In this country and abroad.

appointed by the English Parliament to
examine into the general subject, and they
called before them as witnesses nearly ali
of the prominent scientihc men in Eng
land. all of whom with the exception OF
Mr. Tvndan. testified that IN their opinion
the subdivision of the electric light was
an imposslbility. Mr.. Tyndan said he
would hardly go as far ,,s as that-he would 4
not like 10 undertake the solution of the
problem
III was not only necessary that the lamp
should give light, but the lamps must be
adapted TO the current of the dynamo and
the dynamo must be constructed TO give
the character of current required by the
lamps, and likewise, all parts of the sys-
tenn must be constructed with reference 10
all other parts. since in one sense, all the
parte form one machine and the connec-
lion between the parts are electrical in
stead of mechanical. The first thing nee
essary to be done was to adopt funda-
mentally correct system of distributing the
electric current The essentials of com

ton similer to the general plan OF iilumin-
