oof Friday, November 10, 1054 THE DAILY TIMES-GAZETTE, While North America this fall honors the memory of Thomas Ed- ison for the invention of the elec- trict light 75 years ago, a nod of appreciation might also be thrown in the direction of Dun- dee, Scotland. There occurred the first public demonstration of an electric light -- 44 years before Edison produced his first practical model, Gerald Kloss writes in .he Milwaukee Journal. "The light in beauty surpasses {all others," ran the description in | The Dundee Advertiser of July 31, 1835. "It has no smell, emits .0 smoke, is incapable of explosion, and, not requiring air for combus- | tion, can be kept in sealed glass | jars '" UNSUNG GENIUS 3 The inventor was an unsung ge- nius, James Bowman Lindsay, who not only preceded Edison on the | electric light but also patented a | process of wireless telegraphy four | decades before Marconi started to achieve a reputation -- or a ior- | tune -- was due to his versatility. | Before seeing one project through, § | he usually was embarked on sev- LEARNING TO COOK Canadian soldiers who want to | many.

As it turned out, Lindsay's fame barely reached the outskirts | of Dundee, where he was a school teacher most of his life.

For more than 25 years, he spend all his spare time doing re- search and writing the huge tome, to which he Save an appropriately fan title, the '"Pentecontaglossal ictionary." THREE-YEAR TASK Lindsay's experiments in elec - tricity began in 1832. After three years he produced his first work- able model of an electric light using a primitive battery for power. In a letter to The Dundee Advertiser in the fall of 1835 he wrote: "lam writing this letter by inches distant, and at the present moment can read a book at the dis- tance of one and one-half feet. From the same apparatus, I can get two or three lights, each of | which is fit for reading with." In the same letter, he made some | Jredicuions on the use of electric ights: "On its introduction to spinning | mills, conflgrations there will be | unheard of. Its beauty will recom- | mend it to the fashiomable. Being | capable of surpassing all lights in | splendor, it will be used in light houses and for telegraphs. rhe present generation may yet have it burning in their houses and en- lightening thelr streets. "n No technical description of Lind- | say's light has been found, so it cannot be compared to Edison's first incandescent lamp HIS WIRELESS But his wireless telegraphy sys- | patented the process in 1854. { calculations, | ble Instead of sending signals through the air, Lindsay used bo- dies of water for a medium. In 1853 he sent a current across a small pond. The Dundee Adver - tiser, ever willing to boost the home town inventor, remarked: "The experiment removes all doubt of the practicability of Mr. Lindsay's invention; and there is every reason to think that it will soon connect continent with con- tinent."' By increasing the size of .m- mersed befteries and plates, he found that he could transmit a sig- nal across two miles of water. He According to his the Atlantic ocean could be bridg- ed by a wireless signal if the bat- tery, plates and other equipment were large enough -- a battery of 130 square feet, for example. To him goes the honor of being che first man to suggest wireless com- munication between England and merice. He also invented electric welding (1845), published a book on astron- omy (1858) and a pamphlet on bap- tism (1861). | He died in 1862.
