THE AIR PIONEERS

TWyWELNE hundred Americans now have their own air

The figure is for civilian niers. It does not include

During 1921 these 1900 civilian air pioneers flew total

This means that II you had your own flying machine
you could expect to get out OF about SIT miles year

Princeton, N. j., April 24.-'rhe
dawning Of an era Of perpetual illu-
mination was seen bv scientists to.
day in announcement by Professor
Il. Newton Harvey of Princeton Uni
versity that he had developed con
tinuous cold light, called l4uciferin.
This is a step which science re-
CARDS as equal in Importance to in
vention of the wireless, the telephone,
telegraph, phonograph, airpiane, All
tomoble and other modern devices.
Continuous cold light eventually will
do away with all forms of artificial
illumination, according to belief of
scientists. 1t will be possible for a
man to carry a bottle of light in his
pocket. Permanent globes of light
will be suspended in the streets, IN
public buildings and in residences.
Just at present, of course, the new
discovery has not reached anywhere
that stage of development. Exhibited
by Professor Harvey it had the ap-
pearance OF a small blue flame, flick
ering in water in a flask. However
it is possible to read by the faint
glow. 1t is just about In the stage
of development now that the phono-
graph was when it gave forth but
a faint scratchy sound, and the NOV
les were in the days when they were
jumpy blurs, had on the eyes.
The new substance burns forever
with cold, blue light. Professor
Harvey calls it protein which he
has succeeded in isolating after s
years experimenting fro mbacteria,
fungi and insects.
Once he succeeded in isolating the
Luciferin, Prof. Harvey was confront
ed with the problem of making it
permanent. 1t would only burn so
long as oxygen was applied to it,
and the oxygen also had the effect
of destroying it. Now Prof. Harvey
has perfected a chemical process
whereby the oxygen is separated
from the Luciferin immediately after
the contact which produces the light
and then joins with it again. This
produces continuous light rays, with
out wearing out the I.uciferin. In
its present stage of development,
however, the light grows DINNER
and DINNER over considerable
period of time, but fades so slowly
that the change is scarcely noticea.
BILE. This is overcome by occasion
ally adding small quantities of Luci-
ferin. Futher experiments are ex-
pected to result in method OF au-
tomatically replenishing the Luciferin
