[N. S. Vol. XII. No. 312. 



submitted to your committee. Some of 

 these are not to Welsbacli, and yet are for 

 processes of importance in tlie manufacture 

 of the present American-made mantle and 

 lamp. 



In consideration of the enormous ad- 

 vance in the art of artificial lighting made 

 possible by the invention of the Welsbach 

 mantle, the Franklin Institute awards the 

 Elliott Cresson Medal to Dr. Carl Auer von 

 Welsbach, of Vienna, Austria, for his dis- 

 coveries regarding the metallic oxides which 

 may become incandescent when heated, and 

 for the invention of a mantle by the use of 

 which these metallic oxides are commer- 

 cially available as sources of artificial light. 



Also, in view of the many details wrought 

 out by the "Welsbach Light Company, of 

 Grloucester, N. J., in putting a thoroughly 

 practical mantle on the market, the Frank- 

 lin Institute awards to them, the said com- 

 pany, in addition, the Edward Longstreth 

 Medal of Merit.
