Dolly inherited her mothers liking
for the footlishts. She made flying
start toward a career in milliner's

bonnets poky and beat it for the
stage door of the Dublin Theater to
wait for Richard DAILY to ease forth.
DAILY was stage manager. and when
Dolly asked TO be taken at face value
he gave her a small salary and small
part-as Phoebe in las You Like It."

her mother met an old friend in the

Poulsen Bottles Telephone

pioneer, and a wireless valve. says
London newspaper.
If a telephone cali is made and the
person wanted is not available q SIM
pie recording instrument can be set
in motion and a message dictated that
can be repeated at any time later.
The Poulsen telegraphone, invented
many years ago, Is a device In which
a telephone message can be impressed
upon a moving steel ribbon by means
of magnetic action. When the ribbon
has run through a simple reproducing

An instrument has now been con-

of loudness by the use Of one Of the
valves now employed universally in
wireless reception. The steel wire or
| ribbon, with its magnetic message,
can he removed from the instrument
and sent by post and the message re-
produced In any other instrument. and
permanent records can be made Of
speeches and so on.

From a Scientists Notebook

I second, says the Popular Science
Monthly. These limits are due to the
resistance of the air. If a drop be-
! comes larger than a fifth of an inch
in diameter the air friction on its sur
face becomes greater than the force
! of cohesion that holds the water to-
gether, and consequently the drop
breaks up into two or more smaller
drops. Similarly, when the velocity at
which it falls reaches twenty-stx feet
a second, the friction of the air on its
surface. which is tending to keep it
from falling, becomes equal to the
force of gravity, which Is pulling 1t
down, and therefore it cannot attain
any increased speed.

TIE STORY OF THE
INCANDESCENT LAMP

At a casual glance, this highly USE
full little article seems simple enough;
off hand, it is merely a glass bulb,
fitted with screw shell, end cap, and
enclosing a fine wire filament support
ed on a slender glass rod. Simple :?
Yes, but it has taken millions Of dol
lars in money and over 40 years OF
time to bring the lamp to its present
state Of development.
In 1910, Sir Humphrey Davy dis
covered that thin strips OF metal be-
came white hot in passing current
of electricity through them, but no
practical use was then made OF this
knowledge.
In 1879, Edison developed the null
tiple circuit and made lamp with a
carbonized- thread filament. This lamp
was publicly exhibited in December OF
that year.
The first commercial lamps made in
1881 had a carbonized-bamboo fila
-ment. which was abandoned in 1898
for one Of cellulose.
In 1905, the Gem metallized-carbon
filament was brought out. Tantalum-
filament lamps we're in oduced IN
1906. These were soon displaced by
the tungsten filament which is now
used.
About 1913, it was discovered that
the efficiency of the tungsten lamp
could be increased by filling the bulb
with nitrogen or argon Ian element
associated with nitrogen and forming
one of The constructs Of air) instead
Of using a vacuum. This is the pres
ent practice.
II the present-day lamps were only
of the same efficiency as Edison's first
commercial lamp (5.S watts per
candIe). the extra coal required at
normal prices to produce the electric
light now used in the United States
would cost considerably more than
half billion dollars.
