Стр. 166 - The second of these greatest of inventors is he who will teach us the source of the beautiful soft-beaming light of the firefly and the glow-worm, and will show us how to produce this singular illuminant, and to apply it with success practically and commercially.

The dynamo-electrical engineer...

Стр. 167 - ... wonderful light, free from heat and from consequent loss of energy, is nature's substitute for the crude and extravagantly wasteful lights of which we have, through so many years, been foolishly boasting. The dynamo-electrical engineer has nearly solved this problem. Let us hope that it may be soon fully solved, and by one of those among our own colleagues who are now so earnestly working in this field, and that we may all live to see him steal the glow-worm's light, and to see the approaching...
Стр. 171 - Keep a sharp lookout upon your materials ; get rid of every pound of material you can do without; put to yourself the question, ' What business has it to be there ?' avoid complexities, and make everything as simple as possible.
