I S(rWnnam THOMSON, Il the GlSsgow
university, has written the following
letter. concerning the storing II telec1
ytricity, to the London Times: Il
SIR: The marvellous ''box of electric
ity" described in letter to yolb wi ich
was published in the Times of"MAy16,
has been subjected to q variety of trials
and measurements in my lahora! or1 tor
now three weeks, and think it may in
terest your readers to learn that the re.
suits show your correspondent to have
beaa BY nOllssps t0Q epthpsastic as to
its greats practical yalde. Tam contin'

hayior of the Faure bl.tery in vSried
circumstances, and to do whatll ean,tO-

OF LAYING it up in store conveniently for
allowing it to be,sea st'any time when
wanted, is one of tho most interesting
and important in the whole range OF
science It is solved on small scale in
