Show o THE WORLD IN A LIGHT GLOBE When you switch on an electric lamp, you're using materials ma-terials that came originally from almost every country in the world. In that little globe that cost you 20 or 30 cents, there's antimony from, Mexico, thoria from, Brazil, niter and silica from Chile, cobalt and nickel from New Caledonia, Cale-donia, bismuth from; Australia, tin from the Malay Peninsula, Penin-sula, manganese from India, patash from Russia, sodium carbonate from East Africa, arsenic from, Greenland and so it goes down a long similar list of items. As has been said, the electric lamp is literally the light of the world. |
