 The light comes from chemical powders which coat the inside of the glass a solid white. The powders fluoresce under the influence of in- visible, ultraviolet rays that re- place the ordinary lamp filaments
 The new lights are cool, somewhat like the firefly. But unlike the in- sects, they are brilliant. They arc produced in long tubes, designed fol display and advertising.
 The powders fluoresce into all the hues of the rainbow. The tubes give off pure white light or any solid color wished. The color is fix ed by the kind of powder used as 8 coating on the glass.
 The lamps were demonstrated te the New York Electrical Society, the American Institute of Electrical en- gineers and the Illuminating Engin- eering Society by Ward Harrison, en- gineering director of the General Electric incandescent lamp depart ment, at Nela Park, Cleveland.
