THE CIICAGO “THE ELECTRIC LIGIIT. An Authoritative Explanation of Edi- son's Great Invention--.Pro- duced by Incandes. ocncee, Thy tho Secret lins Been So Carefully Guarded---A Now Generafor. Corresnondence New Jork Nlerald. Mesto Panw, No ., Dec. 10.—After s carefol examinotion of Edisan's clecttle light, laeting sev- eral bours, doring which all factlities were offorded me by the great inventor in persan, I am enabled tagive the roadars of the Herald the only anthori. {ative deseription of tho mame thun far published, Iitherto there have appeared at intervals in Jour- ale, sclentific &nd papnlar, both In Enrape and Amerlca, so-cailed descriptions of the light, ~some atword in thelr variance from the truth, otheraap- roximating the real factx, and one or two accur. ately hitting noon apart of Edinon's system; but vone befare the presant have rocelved his sanction. Yet the facts which I now present do not compring the Hight in all its detalls, a8 many parta of the system, which {8 exceciingly complex. are not yot snfiicientiy protected by patents to warrant the in- wentor 1n disclosing the same. Tho great anxisty of the thousands of other inventars all over tho world who are eaperly working on the subject of electric lighting to learn hin plans has made Edfson gnnanally secretive. and, whilo whiling to give the ubiic at Jarge tho henerlt of whatover ho has ac- complished, he feels it nccessary to his own pro. toetion (o withhold the recrets of ki Inventions and discoveries until sach time an all are properly sectired by patenis, Beargely a day pasaes without witnerslng mome anxtous inguirers vistting Menlo Park 111 the bopo of learniny some of the inventor's plans, and letters and telegrams inquiring, sug- Zertinig, and proposingg with roferenco Lo ino elece wrie Nght arrive without number; hut toall up to the present time that part of the laboratory con- tuning tho substance of the Invention has been clneed, Edinon now, however, fecla safo in nce quainting the public with the contour of his sys- tom, AN ENRONEOUS IMPRESSIDN.
