LIGHT WITHOUT HEAT
The Puzzle of the Tiny Firefly

It Is a Mystery to Science, and the Man
Who Is Able to Penetrate That Mys
tery Will Be In a Position to Revo
lutionize This Planet of Ours. v
This is not an Aesop fable, although
ft has a moral.
There are two things in whose pres
ence science stands wondering and
abashed the little glowworm (or the
yet tinier firefjy) and the mighty comet
arching the sky with its glimmering
train. Each of them holds the same
secret how - to make light without
heat. The man who gets that secret
will revolutionize the planet.
The late president of the Royal As
tronomical Society of Great Britain

secret in his retiring address. . He

comet's tail. It shows us hundreds of
billions of cubic miles of space simul
taneously glowing with luminosity
whose origin Is a mystery.
It is a gigantic experiment in a
branch of physics of which we as yet
know very little. The comet is im
mersed in what we may well regard
as a vacuum; at least it is a iar more
perfect vacuum than we can produce.
Yet the persistent glow of the comet's
tail shows that there is no real vacuum
there, but a vast quantity of extreme
ly attenuated matter which no doubt
is the cause of the luminosity.
We ought, Professor Newall thinks,
to awake to the importance of this
hint. "Who knows," he says, "wheth
er, if we could discover a method of
disrupting gases and vapors in ultra
vacuous spaces artificially maintained
on earth, we should not have a meth
od of artificial illumination as econom
ical as that of the glowworm and as
brilliant as-ls needed tor our nocturnal
life?"
This thing may really be within our
reach, although at the present time
we cannot even suggest to ourselves
exactly how It is to be attained. But
the tendency of recent investigation, is
in that direction. As Sir John Her-
sehel said of another discovery which;
was just at the door, "We can feel it
trembling along the farreaching line
of onr analysis.
There are not. a few men, who- are-
regarded by their harder headed scien
tific brethren as "dreamers," who pic
ture to themselves a fast coming time
when we Bhall not only obtain light at
as cheap a rate as the firefly has It,
but when we shall have tapped the ex-
hanstless stores of energy that sleep
all around us in nature.
We are like one in a dream . sus
pended In the midst of a vast work
shop crowded with multitudinous; ma
chines, all whirling and fluttering in
a storm of energies, but which he can
neither, control nor understand. If
we could see these things they might
terrify us, as the dreamer-is terrified
by the whirring belts, and , spinning
wheels of his vision, seeming to grasp
at his life.
If, the scientific Investigator need?
to establish a raison d'etre In the eyes
of the public, ... which cannot follow
either his processes or his results, he
has only to point to the fact that the
greatest practical discoveries of mod
ern times have come out of the labora
tories from things as Incomprehensible
to the unitiated as so much magic It
Is a well known fact that the growing
might of Germany springs from her
devotion to "pure research."
Referring again to the pregnant hint
of . the comet, Professor Newall la
clearly right in saying, "Here Is a
theme that should stir up the most
commercial mind in the support of as
tronomy." Garrett P. Serviss in New
York American.
