Italy and Spain are still further behind,

details excellent, was not on the whole an
advance.
Rated progressively at their glow value
from low value to high, the lights in use
today rank about as follows: Acetylene
arc, gas, candle, incandescent, Welsbach,
Nernst, oil. osmium, tantalum and Hewitt
The acetylene lights is even more glaring
indoors than the arc light outdoors. Gas
is handicapped by it's unsteadiness. The
incahdescent is steady, but it's light is
concentrated in fine thread. The Wells
bach has a large radiant surface, but is
hampered by its leaning towards violet
and by the unsteadiness of its feed It
varies less than the common gas flame,
but perceptibly. The Nernst light has a
glowing surface like the Welsbach, but its
glow is more intense than most glares.
So far it has been bearable only when
surrounded with ground glass
The oil lamp, yellow, steady and fairly
soft, is still the supreme reading light in
general use, but the osmium and tanta-
lum incandescents threaten it's supremacy.
The osmium looks like the ordinary in
candescent, but uses much lower volt
| age and gives much softer and more
economical light. The tantalum light, in
stead of simple hlament has a network
|
! from little hooks in the bulb. The number
/ of the wires, and their almost invisible
hneness, give the effect Of a soft glow
through a large portion of the bulb. II
| this apparent glowing surface can be ex-
tended. If the wires can be stretched close
! together from end to end of a two-foot
/ tube the tsntalum light has great possl-
! bilities. It is one of the three present light
/ ing principles that give any promise OF
containing the germ of the light Of the fu-
| ture.

Glow Competitors.
Buffalo, 1901. marked the beginning Of
what promises to be the great conflict in
glow illumination - Hewitts principle
against Stieringer's. 1t is almost incred-
ible that any direct light should ever be

Stierngers painted light. And StieringeT
