HARNESSED ELECTRICITY
Thomas A. Edison Tells How He Pro-
duced First Incandescent Lamp

The first thing to do was to find out
what was the best material to use for a
light producer" began Mr.. Edison. 81
soon made up my mind that of all the
materials could obtain in 1877 carbon
was the most promising. Paper. jute,
palm fiber. grasses, tissue paper coated
with tar and rolled into thin sticks, Choir
coal, l,hemp-everything, in fact. was tried.
Finally on October 81. 1879. | carbon
lied piece Of cotton sewing thread bent
into loop and sealed it in glass globe
from which the air had been pumped out.
When the current was turned on, that
black thread glowed for forty hours. That
was really the first incandescent electric
lamp. 1t couldn't be put on the market.
of course, but 1t showed unmistakably that
electricity could be used for ineandescent
lighting. Ispent about $4,000 in bring
ing the investigation up to that point, and
yet in way. this was only the beginning.
A little later we placed several hundred
paper -flame ent lamps on the market. So
|, | began hunt for the right kind of car
bon. Men were sent all over the world to
collect grasses and fbers that looked
promising. They brought back several
hundred. and out of the lot ! selected a
certain kind of bamboo that grows in ia
pan. We made flaments out of that for
nine years"
In these few words Mr. Edison tells the
story Of the first electric lamp. The twen-
ty-frst day of October. now known as
edison Day." is the birthday of the cleo
trio incandescent lamp.
+ Al
descent lamp is not an exec ption," con-
tinued Mr.. Edison. Light without heat
is the ideal. and that is still far off. The
electric ineandescent lamp of today has
the cheapest form Of filament that has
ever been produced, but some day 1t will
be cheaper and colder than it is. There
