Wizard Steinlnetz,,
Dies in New York
fContinuea from pace ~

Continued from page
$500 people at Denver. He had eS-
pccted to talk to 300 or 400 and the
Ilarger audience made the effort
much greater.
b Nevertheless, and although ne was
fully aware of the weakness of his
heart, he went through with his
program. Upon his return to Schen-
ectady the exhaustion from which
he was suffering forced him to give
up his work temporarily and take
to his bed.
Workmen were busy constructing
on top of one of the General Flee
tric buildings a Steinmetz lightning
laboratory, where "The Wizard
intended to make the elements per-
form according to his whim.,
In this laboratory he planned to
continue the experiments with thun-
der bolts with which he startled the
world year or more ago. At that
time, in the presence Of scientists
and newspaper correspondents he
produced n miniature thunderstorm.
The lightning flashed and snapped.
Bolts darted from an artificial
heaven and struck toy houses in a
little village which had been built
to give realism to the demonstra-
ton. This it was understood was
only the beginning.
An Inveterate Smoker
Although Steinmetz' feats with
thunderbolts attracted the widest
popular attention, he had other
achievements which were really
more important in the history of
science. He discovered the claw of
hysteresis. - This is placed first
in his list of accomplishments. He
also perfected formula for caleu-
lation of alternating current. This
is placed second on the list. His
study of "transeent phenomena -
including lightning, is ranked third.
Steinmetz was So years old. For
"a years he had lived and worked
in the United States following his
1IOm pSi ~
gained his greatest prominence dur
ing the last ten years.
Steinmetz was an inveterate
smoker. He was hardly ever seen
during his waking hours without a
cigar in his mouth.
When he first came here to organ
ize the research department Of the
General Electric company, he found
"no smoking" signs posted
throughout the laboratory. He wrote
the following sign and left the of
flee:
ono smoking, no Steinmetz.'
He meant it, too, for he did not
return until officials Of the com
pany sent for him and told him they
l.u rescinded the order against
smoking.
