The Music of the Lamps

Dr. LEE DE FOREST announced, the other day, that he had made electric lights play for him music far surpassing the best efforts of the best orchestra. He called it “the music of the lamps.” The doctor says that a master musician may sit in his studio in New York and play by wireless the music of the lamps into the ear of the Sphinx. All that is necessary, he claims, is to transmit the electric current to the lamps that give out the music. Dr. De Forest uses for his musical experiments electrical bulbs not over three inches in diameter.
