In an Interview with the I'nited
l"reHi Ir. Harvey consented not only
to sJain the nature of ths discov
ery that has turned the eyes of the
scientific world upon him, but to
demonstrate the tmhject.
He took several Inches of a coarse,
ivnmuluted substance and put them
iVto one of the round-bottomed flasks

pi'ut entirely dark room.

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.
