Subject: Connecting knob and tube to conduit

Hi,

A bedroom circuit in our house is still using knob and tube.  The
house was built in the late 1940's.  I want to install a ceiling light
in the closet and run it from the original light.  How do I connect my
conduit (romex?) to the knob and tube?   Its about a 8 foot run of
wire to the new ceiling light.

Do I splice the positive from the conduit onto the black wire?  What
do I attached the negative to?  I presume I need to attach it to the
wire that is connected to the knob thingys.  Help!

Thanks.
