it's explosive nature, and consequently
was never very popular.
Kerosene was first procurable in
commercial quantities about the time
of the Civil war; and the ordinary ker-
osene lamp is still the chief illuminant
in territories where electricity and gas
are not as yet available.
In 1879 came the "incandescent'
electric lamp invented by Thomas A.
Edison. In the autumn of 1877 Edison
announced his intention Immediately
to devote himself to the problem of
producing a commercially practicable
electric lamp.
His triumph came on October 81,
1879. On that date, after persistent
labor, Edison succeeded in carbOnizing
a piece of cotton sewing thread bent
into a loop of horseshoe shape. This
he sealed in glass bulb which had
been exhausted until very high vac
uum was produced. For forty hours
after the circuit was closed the bright
ly incandescent filament remained in
tact.
Not being satisfied with this form of
filament Edison began to carbonize
everything in nature that he could
think of. He wanted a material that,
when carbonized, would be uniform
and homogeneous. AS he looked

around his laboratory one day, he saw
an ordinary palm leaf fan upon a ia
bic. After study of the texture Of
the binding, he asked one of his as
sistants to carbonize filaments made
from the rim. He was so impressed
with the result of this experiment that
he sent men all over the world to Sc

In 1907, the pressed tungsten lamp
was placed on the market, but scien-
ductile tungsten. Tungsten is not a
rare metal, but it was not largely used
owing to the fact that no method had
been discovered by which it's natural
hard and brittle state could be changed.
Tungsten is now produced in ductile
which has a tensile strength varying
from 100000 to 100000 pounds square
inch.
In 1911, the wire-drawn lamp with
which we are all familiar made it's
appearance. This lamp, which gives
three times as much light as the car
bon lamp, contains filament of drawn
tungsten wire within a bulb of clear
glass from which the air has been ex-
hausted In 1914 the gas-filled lamp
was produced.
