The Nernst lamp, which will shortly i be put on the market, is, so to speak, | a cross between-an incandescent lamp | and an Auer light. The light is pro | duced as in the incandescent lamp, by | a current of electricity heating a fila- | ment white hot, but the filament is | made of metallic 6xiaes, like the man | tle of the Auer light, It gives a { whiter and steadier light than the arc | or incandescent lamps, and more of it | for the amount of electricity. Its in | vention by Herr Nernst was a triumph of ingenuity, as there were several hf | ficulties to be overcome. In the first | place, it is hard to start a current | through the earth filament, as, unlike | a carbon one, it is a non-conductor | when cold, and has to be made white | hot before the current will flow. Once | the current is started," of course, it | produces all the heat that is neces | sary. On the other hand, if it gets at { all overheated, too much current will | flow through, and the filament will be | estroyed. The first difficulty is met {by an electric heater of platinum wire, | which is automatically cit out when | the current begins to flow through the | filament; the second one by a "bal | last" of iron wire, the resistance of | which increased enormously with a i slight increase of current. The lamp | bas still one disadvantage, namely, | the fact that the globe becomes cover- {ed inside with a black deposit, which | must be periodically removed. This, {and its bigh power (the smallest is | Bity candle power) prevent its being | used instesl of incandescents. It is, | however, likelv to intrude into the domain of the arclamp, and still | more likely to find a place for itself | between the two lamps already estab- lished. WILL LET IT BE KNOWN.
