Artificial Daylight (Solved by McFarlane Moore)

Philadelphia announces that the problem of providing a diffused light for interior illumination, which in quality resembles daylight as nearly as the artificial may resemble the natural, has been solved by a D. McFarlane Moore, a native of Pennsylvania. The first practical application of the realization of the theory long held by electricians, that such light could be produced, is to be made in the mansion constructed in New York for Charles M. Schwab, the ex-president of the United States Steel Corporation.

The light, which is said to be produced through the introduction of a powerful electric current into perfect vacuum tubes, is described as devoid of heat, soft and having no element of danger in its production.

It will now be in order for Nikola Tesla to announce that such light is nothing new, that he told of it long ago. That is true; he did tell of it, but he did not produce it for use. If now another man has evolved a method of practical application of the theory with which Mr. Tesla, and probably other electricians, have been busying themselves, while they are yet engaged in experiments, he is entitled to all the credit that is due to a man who adds something to the things that are useful.
