An Experiment by a Chemist Shows
That the Problem Can he Solved.
From the Hartford Courantss.
According to an article by George
Herbert Stockbridge, printed In the July
number of the Engineering Magazine,
the problem of obtaining electricity as
a direct result of the Consumption Of
carbon has been solved experimentally
by DR.. w. w. Jacques, although the
commercial value Of the discovery Is
still in doubt If this is true, SO great
a step forward has been taken that the
world can we'll afford to wait awhile
for the commercial form or the discov-
cry which is absolutely certain to fol-
low the demonstration of principle Of
operation. For years men have been
at work on this task Of finding some
way in which the burning Of carbon
shall produce at once an effective cleo
trical current. Under the system now
in use coal is burned to turn water into
steam; this steam Is used to drive an
engine; this engine gives motion to
dynamo and this dynamo produces the
electricity. The steam power produced
is but Is or 10 per cent of the poten-
tial energy Of the coal, even under the
best conditions; the rest goes to waste
and the problem is to save this waste
power. AS a matter Of fact the per-
centage of efficiency of most steam en-
gines Is no more than half the figures
above given, while many fall far below
that
Recent discoveries, that of DR. Jacques
included, rest on the fact (Which has
been known for forty years. that cur
rent of electricity may be produced by
burning carbon in contact with an
electrolyte capable of supplying it with
oxygen. For the benefit of those not
familiar with electrical terms, it may
be said than an electrolyte is any COM
pound which is decomposable by an
electric current. In the apparatus of
DR.. Jaques the elecetrolyte is made a
The Saint Paul globe. (St. Paul, Minn.) 1896-1905, 1896-11-06

vehicle for taking and giving off oxy-
gen, this oxygen ultimately uniting
with the carbon and giving off the
electric current, the electrolyte being
thus continually decomposed and re-
formed. To permit this the eIectrolyte
must be in fluid condition.
The apparatus consists Of an iron
lot partly filed with melted caustic
soda, into which a prism Of carbon Is
thrust. The soda is kept fluid by a
fire under the pot and air Is pumped
into the pot, passing in small jets
through the caustic soda, which ir
this instance is the electrolyte. The
boiling soda takes up oxygen from the
air. after which 1t Is carried against
the carbon and releases the oxygen,
which attacks the carbon. AS the lat
ter burns electricity is given off. 4
more technical account OF the process
is furnished by Mr.. Sstckbridge in these
words:
Briefly, the process employed by
Jacques consists in chemically combin-
Ing oxygen with carbon by impregnat-
ing molten basic electrolyte, which
is In contact with the carbon, with OK
ygen or air, and collecting the electric
ity thereby developed by means Of an
electrode not acted on by the impreg-
rated electrolyte when the circuit Is
completed. To render the process con-
tinuous sufficient is maintained by
means of suitable furnace, and the
cir pump is kept in operation"
The accounts thus far finished fail
to say how much coal is consumed ir.
heating the pots under the experiments
end In running the air pump. An eff
fic1ency of 94 per cent of the carbon
used in the pot was obtained In one
instance, but information as to the
carbon consumed for heat and power
is lacking. 1t should also be noted that
che critic maintains that DR.. jacques
apparatus is nothing more than a good
thermo- electric battery. Touching this
point, Mr.. Stockbridge says that If 4;
is true 'the rejoicing over DR.. jacques
work will be considerably tempered
and, again, that until it is definitely
settled we may withhold final judg-
ment. But he also says that the dis
Covery is approved by eminent authori-
ties, including Prof. Cross, Of the Mas
sachuSetts Institute Of Technology, and
Prof Rowland, of Johns Hopkins, who
declare 1t to be one of the greatest in
ventions of the nineteenth century.

likely have the legislature, insuring
the election of Populist United States

The returns so far received on the state

District Attorney.

Valdosta, Ga, Dec. 10.-Bishop Duncan
of Spartanburg, s. c., reached here yes
terday evening and he presided over the
deliberations of the South Georgia confer
ence to-day.
Most of the morning was given to adj
dresses by distinguished workers in differ
ent lines of church work, and the speeches
were very much enjoyed by the large num-
Der of delegates and visitors to the confer
ence. Among the speakers wre Dr. Ad-
kns in the interest of the Sunday schools
DR.. S. A. Steele of the Epworth League
and DR.. ]. w. Lambert on missionary
work
The sensation of the day was sprung by
Rev. c. T. Clarke of Buna VISTA who pre-
ferred charges of INSTRUMENTATION
against DR.. ]. b. McGhee, presiding e.der
of the Americas district. The charge was
the result of a church trial in which the
preacher alleged that the presiding elder
rendered decision not in accord with the
law of the discipline. A brother in Rev.
Clarkes church became offended at some
of the church workers and established a
Sunday school of his own, and made an
effort to draw the members from the reg
ular Sunday school to the one which he
had organized. He was demonstrated with
and finally turned out of the church. The
offending brother appealed his case to the
quarterly conference WITCH hAN hScA-
ing came the church failed to appear with
the papers in the case properly arranged.
The case was thrown out, the effect or
which was that the brother retained his
membership in the church. The case TO-
day was made against Presiding Elder Nc
05hee because of that decision. DR.. Nc
Ghee is one of the most prominent men
in the conference while Rev Clarke is
very much beloved by the churches he mas
served in the conference. The high CHAR
acter of both men added interest to he
case The bishop decided that charges
against the presiding elder had not been
substantiated.
1t is rumored that charges of heresy Will
be brought against Rev. Robertson OF
East Macon. IT is not known exactly
what the grounds are for the charge, out

nected to attend the conference, and 1t was
renorted that he was in Florida, but would
