. EDISON LIGHT
IN EXISTENCE
FORTY YEARS
CHICAGO, Nov. 19 (by Associated
Press).—The fortieth birthday of the
incandescent light bulb was celebrated
here recently, when the delegates to
the convention of the Illuminating En
gineering Society of America met on
a date especially arranged to coincide
with the anniversary. Speakers re
called that the announcement by
Thomas A. Edison, October 21, 1879,
that he had perfected an incandescent
lamp that would really “light” was re
< ceived with good-natured ridicule. But
so rapid was the development of the
invention and recognition of the ac
complishment that on the following
Christmas eve an excursion train was
run from New York to West Orange,
N. J., carrying a throng to view the
wonders of the first community light
ed by electricity.
Declaring that the use of electricity
for lighting was yet only in the first
stages of development, the speakers
pointed out that general use of the
Edison invention did not come until
the last ten or fifteen years, and that
up to that time kerosene and gasoline
lamps and candles were widely used.
But now even small communities have
r electric lighting plants and farm
houses are lighted in a similar way,
while the application of electric power
to practical uses has been widely ex
tended.
