What Next?

The dream of the electricians now is the use, not of electric lights, but of diffused light produced by electricity, which will do away with the globe, the bulb, and all the disfiguring mechanism. It is claimed by enthusiasts like Nicola Tesla that the only thing now in the way is the cost; but that as scientists are working all the time in this direction, a discovery which shall put the new light into popular use may be made in three months, perhaps not in as many years. “The men at work in improving the method are expected to demonstrate the validity of their theories much sooner than they care to acknowledge from modest deprecation of their own acuteness.”
