New York.-Captain ROAD Amund-
sen, discoverer Of the south pole. pre-
sented one Of the three sleds used by
his expedition to the American Museum
Of Natural History.
A letter from John A. Gade says the
sled made the entire journey to and
from the south pole on the recent ex-
petition. One Of the three sleds taken
was left behind at the pole. A second
was presented to a Norwegian society.
The letter concludes:
by this gift Captain Amundsen
hopes to express his gratitude and nc
acknowledgement to the American people
and most especially to the scientific
associations which in all this work
have shown him such constant encour-
agement and ready assistance
A formal letter of acceptance was
sent to Captain Amundsen by Presi-
dent Osborne, who referred to the fact
that Admiral Peary had given to the
museum one of his sleds that made
the journey to the north pole.

French Scientist Demonstrates
His IiIuninatOr.
CHEAPER AND SAFER, He SAYS
Professor Dussaud Places Discovery al
Disposal of His Government, Which
Is Experimenting at Lighthouses
With Great Success-Based on Prin-
cipIe of the Repose Of Matter.

Paris.-The ''cod light" is new in
vention which, it Is predicted, will rev.
olutioniZe all forms of illumination.
Professor Brandy informed the Acad-
envy of Sciences of this discovery, Civ
ing the credit of it to his former pupil.
Professor Dussaud. Before distin-
guished company Of ambassadors. acad-
emicians and the French aristocracy
Professor Dussaud gave demonstra
ton of his invention. 1t is based on
the principle Of the repose of matter.
the theory being that, like animal or
ganisms, matter needs rest. or molec-
ular equilibrium. 1t is known that if
one pair of shoes are worn constantly
by the average person they will hast
four months, but that two pairs of
shoes worn alternately will last not
eight but sixteen months.
The ''cold light" is an application of
this principle to incandescent electric
lamps, the light being concentrated on
a single point by all the filaments work.

ing successfully and projected through
a lens multiplying illumination thou
sandfod.
The advantages claimed for this light
are:
First.-That there is no danger Of fire
from it because it gives out no heat
Second.-That it requires 100 times
less current, which can be generated
by tiny portable battery.
Third.-That 1t contains the ultra VIC
let rays, requiring 100 times less cleo
tricity, and. with an inexpensive APP
paratus, can be used for moving pic.
lures IN schools. eliminating danger.
Photographers are expected to aban-
don magnesium. for ''cold light at
tachment on camera gives results
with an exposure of one-fourth of the
time needed for magnesium.
This invention will be especially val
liable for lighthouses. submarines and
aerial navigation.
Professor D1ssaud has periodically
placed his discovery at the disposal of
the war ministry, whose experiments
at the Biarritz lighthouse We're conclu-
sive. Dussaud paid Il tribute to his
master. Brandy, as the first discoverer
of the principle of wireless telegraphy.
which he said was afterward put to
practical use by Marconi.
