ty-ffve Hundred Hours.
An Austrian chemist. DR.. Hans Ku.
Eel. has. after many years hard work,
succeeded in constructing a new cleo
trio lamp which he calls the Syrius
lamp. As is well known. i~ncandescent
gaslight is cheaper than electric light
ecause the tilament wires of the lat
ter are very expensive and the glass
bulbs soon wear ont. DR.. Kuzel has
now invented a new substitute for the
glow thread by forming out Of com.
mon and cheap metals and metalloids
colloids in a plastic mass, which can
be handled like clay and which when
dry becomes hard as stone. Out of
this mass very thin wire threads are
then shaped, which are Of uniform
thickness and Of great homogeneity.
These two characteristics are of great
value In the technics OF incandescent
lamps.
The kuzel, or Syrius, lamp hardly
needs one-Quarter Of the electric cur.
rent which the ordinary electric lamp
with. 1lament wire requires. Expert
ments, 1t is asserted. have shown that
the lamp can burn for $500 hours at a
stretch. Another advantage is that the
intensity of the light of the new lamp
always remains the same. the lamp
bulbs never becoming blackened, as is
now the case.
