While thus any effort to convert electricity into thegrosser form of mechanical force must fail, until zinc canbe manufactured about 600 times more cheaply than coalcan be mined (which it probably never will be) or untilsome other source of electricity be discovered, physicistshave been eminently successful in reversing the problem:that is to say, converting mechanical force into electricity,and they have utilized the electricity so obtained in theproduction of the most intense artificial light known.Before describing the immense improvements made veryrecently in this department of science, it may be well tostudy the apparatus hitherto employed. When a piece of soft iron surrounded by insulated cop-per wire is presented to the poles of a magnet, a momen-tary electrical current is formed in the wire; and onremoving the soft iron from the magnet, another current
