LIcht and Music.

A machine designed to accompany
music with harmonious lighting eff
fects has been invented by an east
ern artist, says Popular Mechanics
Magazine. The instrument is in the
form Of a rheostat consisting OF con-
tinuous parallel loops OF resistance
wire of different lengths, each having
a contact point over which passes a
metal block. completing the circuit.
The movement Of the block Is con-
trolled by cable running over pulIeys
operated by means Of pedals. AS the
sliding block is moved back or forth
over the wires, the degree OF light
intensity is varied to suit the music.
accentuating the musical phrasings Of
the soloist -or orchestra. II may be
played either with or without a spe-
ciaI written score sheet. A further
adaptation of the principle of artistic
lighting expression through resist
ance coils is the Illuminated phon0-
graph. In this case a rheostat Of
modified form is used and the light
intensity controlled by means Of a
cam. moving In synchronism with the
record. A translucent globe incases
the record, motor, rheostat and accom-
panying lights.
