A New Secondary Battery


Now that the time Is anticipated
when the storage battery Is q practi-
cal and economical form will come
into general use for commercial pur-
poses, any new battery or modifica-
ton of existing forms is interesting to
the public. The latest modification
is Of the Plante type. Long, narrow
and thin stripes or ribbons of lead are
passed through, q machine which per-
forates them, and at the same time
impresses in them two longitudinal
corrugations. They are then twisted
together with q cord or rope
of asbestos, and woven into q loose
mat. Several of these mats are put to-
gether under moderate pressure so as
to form one plate, which Is inserted
In q lead frame, and is then ready for
use in the battery. The advantage of
this plate is that IL presents an un.
usually large surface to the action
of the electrolyte, and the weight of
the battery is consequently very
much reduced. Very long life is
claimed for the cell, and from the
formation of the plates it is practical
ly impossible to destroy them by me-
chanical injury, and the disastrous
effects of buckling and short clrcuiting
are presumably avoided. This cell
is claimed to be much better adapted
to rough usage of any description than
the ordinary form OF lead battery.

DENMARK'S EXPERIMENT
The System of Pensions for
Old Age Now in Force

We have once or twice spoken of
the new Danish poor law, providing
the honest poor in old age with
pensions, instead of mixing them
up with the vicious or demented
population of the ordinary poor
house. This law went into effect
last January, and seems to be akin
to our system OF, State aid to the
families of soldiers, rather than a
new chapter in the pauper laws of
the little kingdom. Until this law
passed, all destitute persons in
Denmark stood on precisely the
same level, their previous course of
life having no lnhuenc whatever in
determining the treatment to which
they were subjected. The lazy
ne'er-do- we'll, who had wasted his
substance in riotous living, became
a pauper, if he accepted the charity
of the State, and so did the hard
working peasant farmer, whom a
series of bad harvests had reduced
to want: The old Danish poor law,
which is practically the same as
that of England, recognized no diff
ference between the two men.
They must poth either starve OF
don the parish dress bass their days
in a work house. In this respect
the Danish poor law resembled
most of the laws in force in
America, and our States will per-
haps adopt the modification which
has been introduced there. The
new law is sinble in its provisions,
and declares that any Danish sub
ject who has completed his Goth
year, and who is unable to provide
himself and those Immediately de-
pendent upon him with the
necessaries of life, may under GER
tain conitione, have this so-called
old age relief granted to him.
The law does not clearly define
the nature sufficient for the sup
port of the person relieved and of
his family, and for their treatment
in case of sickness, but it may be
given in money or in kind, as cir
cumstances require, or consist in
free admission to a suitable asylum
or other establishment intended for
that purpose" The "establish-
ment,' however, must not be a
work honse, or any building into
which ordinary paupers are admit
eb. Applications for old age relief
must be made, not to the poor-law
officials, but to the magistrates, if
the person requiring it lives in
Copenhagen, and to the communal
authorities if he lives else
where. These authorities must
examine carefully into the
circumstances of each individu-
al applicant before they can
grant the relief; but it is not left
entirely for them to decide who
may and who may not receive it.
The rules prescribing who shall
receive old age pensions are very
strict, and the settlement law for
this purpose reduires that each
applicant shall have been ten years
at fixed residence, and neither in
receipt of pauper relief, nor have
been found guilty of vagrancy or
begging. 1t must also be shown
that he has not undergone sentence
for any transaction generally &C
counted dishonerable and that his
poverty shall not be the consequent
ce of any acti ions by which he, for
the benefit of his children or
others, has deprived himself of the
means of subsistence, or be caused
by disorderly and extravagant

THE BORDEN MURDER.

Nothing Given Out F.om the Inquest to

FALL RIVER Mass, Aug. l0.--To-night ii
cannot be said that the police have any
substantial clue to the murderer of MIR. and
Mrs. Borden. Theories are plentiful. hut
reliable evidence ia wanting. State Detect
i've Seaver gave out a bulletin to the press
this evening as follows: ''Ths inquest was
continued to-day. The witnesses examined
were Miss Lizzie Borden, John V. Morse,
Miss Emma l.. Borden. Dr. s. W. Bowen,
Adelaide b. Chu, chill and Hiram G. Har-
rington. Adjourned until tomorrow

was given out after an examination lasting
moIe than four hours and a half.
Friends OF Mrs. Borden are of the opinion
that she is innocent. In his testimony to-
day it is said DR.. Bowen incidentally gave
evidence which startled the authorities.
The nature Of this will not be given for
publication, but it was learned that to-
MORO another examination of the dead
bodies will be made at Oak Grove csnl-.
etery. Taken altogether, the evidence COL
lected by the authorities ls very insufficient
and meagre upon which to base charges

Hon. Rufus Long Worked the Medical
Fraternity.
A brand new scheme to raise the wind, at
least new in this altitude. is one in whloh
several physicians were the victims. The
gentlemen who invented it was Rufus
Long, now in the county JAIL and this
morning he will face his accusers in Judge
Cages court. Long, who is sharper in the
city, would 60 into physicians Office and
tell him that he was suffering from very
severe complaint; that he was expecting
his father in town in day or SO, and that
when he arrived he was going to undergo
an operation. In the meantime. however,
as he was suffering greatly, he desired the
physician to try and give him some relief.
His request was complied with in every in
stance, Long undergoing the pain without
murmur. just before leaving the doc
tors office he would request the loan of
two or three dollars, and in every instance
save one it was granted. He underwent
two severe operations within an hour, and
one of the physicians said he would not
have gone through it for 500. The charge
against Long is that of obtaining money
under false pretenses.
