the air had been exhausted; inside a

Its defects had never been sufficiently

remaining in tho bulb burning up the
carbon loop. In order to make tho lamp
of practical use it was to de-
means for the bulb really

loop last a reasonable time. Edison went
at this work with his customary ardor.
For months he tested air pumps, until he
found a better form than any yet known;
then he worked at until his
friends feared ho break down
under tho strain. The preparation of a
new form of carbon loop might require
weeks of steady labor, the results of
which be decided in perhaps five
minutes.
In his search for a better material than
platinum for the loop which gives out the
light in a glow lamp, tried
different materials, arriving finally at a
