Extracts From = Co usa Article on the
subject of Electricity.
The following extracts are from an
article in the Colusa Herald by "R. j.
H."
Tho greatest electricians of the age
have given their attention in recent
years more TO the production of cleo
,rlcity directly from different sub
stances and with great or less degree OF
success. Germany has furnished us with
some striking examples i'll primary bat
terIes. OF gaseous materials furnished
great current and small consumption OF
material.
Edison is studying along these lines
now, but heretofore his inventions have
been more OF d mechanical nature. Nicola
Tesla, our greatest electrician, and i'll fact
the worlds greatest, has said that the
problem of producing electricity from a
primary battery economically is the prob
lem now confronting the electricians OF
the world.
If this can be solved then the matter of
having light aud power III all our houses
is also solved.
In this il would not take an electrical
engineer. steam engineer, and the vast
amount of machinery now necessary to
successful operation of plants whether
for power or Tor light.
Or late, though, there has been a long
stride made III the right direction-the
| work OF W. w. Felts in the line OF
primary batteries has demonstrated the
tact that that 1t is the line for work, and
that he is by far ahead in the race there.
OF all batteries yet patented, the Ger
| mans have come nearer the point. Mr..
Felts has reached nearer than anyone
else. but they march up in a straight line
almost TO the point and then go off at q
tangent.
The Fslts primary battery now in the
hands OF the Patent Commissioners at
Washington, will revolutionize the world
in the battery because of its cheapness
| aud constancy OF current. 1t is mos,
perfect chemical combination, arrived at
after uuceasing labor.
Briefly summed up, the F'elts primary
battery Is almost an example OF perpetual
motion. Ii IS practically mex haustib BILE.
Heretofore in all batteries certain gases
were troublesome on account of filling
the cells and acting as anon-conductor In
a short time stops the current. In this
| battery ali this is obviated. and the pass
age OF the electrical current produces in
the electroiyte used certain chemical
changes. Hberating certain elements
whicn unite chemically with these gases
which obstruct the flow of electricity,
and form compounds which are the best
conductors, and also excite a flow of the
electric fluid. This lessons the resistance
TO the flow of the current in the cell
itself, and in consequence we have a
greater How IN the external circuit, and
| il is the external circuit which gives US
| heat, light, power and all the useful fac
tors of this wonderful substance.

Miss Naomi C'Connor. niece of Martin

hit in the face by loose plank in the
walk on the east side of Twelfth street,
between + and f, which flew up when
she stepped upon it and struck her on the
mouth.
The blow was SO severe TINT her teeth
were driven through her under lip, in

his Wife III Mortal Fear That He
Would XIII Her.
w. f. Hildebrand was tried in the Po-
lice Court yesterday for making threats
against his wife's life, and also for dis
turbing the peace.
Mrs. Hildebrand and her son testified
that the defendant drank to excess.
which made him brutal. Last Saturday
night, she said, he attempted 10 carry out
his declared intention of killing her. and
In order to save herself she had TO leave
the house.
Hildebrand pleaded guilty to the charge
OF disturbing the peace, and was tined $40.
Justice Davis entered an order requir-
ing him to give $500 bond to keep the
peace, or else to go to jail for six months.

be used is unlimited. House lighting,
medical work, fire alarms. power for
running all kinds of machinery, pump
ing water and a thousand other things.
The conclusions reached are also of the
greatest benefit to the scientific world,
and practically reverse many theories,
and demonstrate beyond a doubt that the
door has been opened for which all have
been looking, and the field of inorganic
matter as material is spread out to Wow.
The battery is covered with caveats in
all its parts, and in a few days patents
will be issued covering the field in which
Mr.. Felts has been working, thus giving
to him a reward for his labor.
