...blue fluorescence will produce as good cathode photographs as one that produces a yellow or green fluorescence. It is practically useless to endeavor to obtain photographs with tubes which are not exhausted to a high degree, perhaps one millionth of an atmosphere. When the anode throws a strong shadow of the cathode on the fluorescent walls of the tube one is sure of obtaining photographs and not before. It is a waste of time and dry plates to attempt to take them be means of Edison lamps...

This is because a piece of glass as thick as a piece of paper absorbs a large number of rays and throws a very thick shadow on the plate while even a thick piece of wood throws hardly any shadow.

Jesus gave himself up to sacrifice, believing that his idea, once in the universe, would become the most powerful factor in human life. So, as he stood in the shadow of the cross, he declared his work accomplished...
