Upon the upper floor of one Of the
tower-like buildings of New York city,
Peter Cooper Hewitt, grandson of Pc
ter Cooper, some years ago establish
ed a laboratory. and WORKSHOP Few, ex-
cepting the members of his family and
the more intimate of his friends knew
that this young man of wealth and of
high social privilege, was devoting
himself to a scientific life, seeking to
penetrate some of the mysteries OF
electricity.
A few years later he stood upon The
platform Of Columbia University be-
side the worlds foremost man Of
science, the late Lord Kelvin. TO re-
ceive with Lord Kelvin the highest of
honorary degrees. This distinction was
conferred upon Mr.. Hewitt in recogni-
ton of discovery, and the practical
application of it, regarded not only by
the world of science, but of business,
as one of far-reaching consequences.
This discovery, and the apparatus
which utilizes it, made it possible
through the application of the electric
current to mercury, 10 create a power
full illuminant, a sort of diffused light,
like that of sun or moonlight, far diff
ferent in its operation from that which
is secured from a lamp or the mean

1t is a discovery which reflects in
tense concentration of mind, continued
at intervals for many days. Mr.. He
witt was so absorbed in this problem
that sometimes he failed to recognize
his friends when they spoke to him.
He was almost as though he were
blind, seeing wholly with an inner
light.
