WHO its heat and wasted energy, and to substitute a substance wnicn win give light and nothing more and that will give It cheaply and continuously. The substance that Dr. Harvey used was composed of, two proteins taken from a diminutive shell-fish thnt is found bv the million in the sea near the west coast of Japan and is called the ciinridina. It has the same sub stance in it that is found In fireflies, j but in ifieater diiautity. What Makes this substance give off light is the discovery made by Df. Harvey, who in the experiment described ubove had duplicated the process, it con sists of adding oxygen to the protein known as "luclmerin, Several more years probably will be spent in research before the light can be proved to have a commercial possibility. It is now in the real of pure science, ! There are at least forty or fifty animals und insects that give .off light, or luminescence, that has no heat, and It was In the study of these that Dr. Harvey sought to find the unswer to a problem that has per plexed scientists for decades. He con eluded that If he could find what made the firefly flicker, he would have the formula for creating cold nights that radiance produced by light' rays between the wave lengths of infra red and those of'ultara vio let. The phospohencenro that is found In decaying meat and other putre scent ' substances was the very first with which the doctor tried to work, but ho found It could not be used In sufficient quantity to be of much use. Not the Solution. He then travelled Into the fields und byways about Princeton and col lected fireflies, which he brought in to his laboratory. Tho task of find ing In these diminutive insects the source of their lightproved too much for him. It was then he thought of the fireflies of Japan, that are so large and numerous that the Japa nese collect them and put them in cages, At a certain time of the year there are festivals at which these Im prisoned Insects are taken on lakes, amidst scenes of Indescribable beauty and reloased In swarms of brilliance. Accordingly he travelled to Japan, stopping at the Dutch Kast Indies to eollecqt some specimens of a little fish found only there, known as the photoblephcron, that has a large luminescent brgan below its eyes that shines continuously with a green light and which Is covered nt times by a Ud like that of an eye. This fish proved of llttlo use, and so did the firoflies of Japan, Dp. Harvey stopped In Japan at rodzu, near Toyama, where facilities for his work were provided, and up on giving up work with fireflies turnod to luminous suld, a small fish that has eight tentacles like those of an octopus andln two of which are luminous organs. They aro known ns Hotaru-Ika, or firefly-squid. TlicyJ did not prove satisfactory, him was the -yprldinn, a crustacean about an eighth of un inch long, thnt lives at the bottom of the sea and comes to tho surface at night. These he found to have a proportionately great amount of luminous material, and to be obtainable In such num bers that he could make effective progress. The Combination Found In them he found two similar pro teins, Uiolferln anl luciphcrusc. Each was composed "of carbon, hydrogen, oxygen, nitrogen and sulphur, though In exactly what combination has not been discovered. When the lucifeiln combined with oxygen it shone, turning Into a substance call ed oxylnciferin. The luclpherase then acted to take out tho oxygen from the oxyfuclferln. This permit ted the original luciferln to repeat the oxidizing and shining croeess. The continuous oxidation, or Ught 1 Ins of the hidferln, and Us accom panying "reduction," or de-oxidation, has been produced, .by Dr. Harvey by the use of metal, known as catalyst, that acts as fhe luclpherase does in the animal, in his combination the luclpherase acts to help ulong the oxidation. When Dr. Hurvey has found how to make luciferln without restoring to fishing, and has increased the In tensity of its light, the problem of commercial cold light will have been solved. 0 WAlt OVKU 11F.KP MOXTEVHKV tl'y Mail to the I'nited Press.)
