You mean you wish you were done with Serena? I am done with her! Quentin muttered, not raising his head from his hands. "It was all over six months ago." Ha!

The new white lamp begins with a glass tube containing vapor of mercury, like the familiar mercury lamps used in photographic studios and which give a peculiar bluish light On the inside surface of this mercury tube Claude first spreads a layer of the chemical called cal cium tungstate, now used in the fluorescent screens that make visible the shadows. This calcium tungstate shines under influence of rays emitted from the electrified mercury, but the light emitted still is not white. It is blue-ls- h green. Here enters the discovery of Servlgne, which is to mix with the calcium tungstate a tiny quantity of the rare element samarium. This samarium produces a red light, thus balancing the excess of green and making the total light emitted much like ordinary sunlight Years ago the discovery that tungsten could be used to make filaments of electric lamps turned that element from a chemical curiosity into one of the Important commercial metals. Perhaps Claude's discovery will do the same for the almost unknown, metal samarium.
