London. Oct. 9.-The condition of the

the only adverse feature of the week, but
it is not expected to continue. 1t was the

STORAGE BATTERIES.



For some time electricity has been
selling In cans like milk In the streets
OF New York. There IL one company
which makes Il specially of furnishing
storage batteries to hotels, small fac
tories, mercantile houses and other es-
adjustments where Il little power Is
needed, and not enough to Justify the
investment of money in Il plant. 10
these storage batteries are delivered
every morning. Some OF them are as
small as cigar box. others are as
large MS the cylinder of soda-water
fountain.
This method of securing power Is so
popular and economical that 1t will not
be long before electricity delivery
wagons willbcas common in the streets
as the milk wagons are now. One
company at present has eighteen wag-
ons on the street. They load every
morning at the factory and start out
on their various routes. AS the driver
hauls up at the door of n customer
he rings the bell and leaves the box
on the steps or in the area, where he
finds an empty jar, of which the con
tents We're used the day before. In
some of the hotels the lighting appa-
ratus is supplied by this method, but
1t is not so economical as n connection
with the regular wires. Some dress
makers have small storage batteries
attached TO their sewing machines, and
buy one-tenth or Oneiiftccnth of n

The dentists use the portable bat
tories with small motors to run ma
chimes for cleaning the teeth and for
drilling holes in the molarS of their pa
ticnts. Surgeons often carry about in
their cases small lights charged from
portable batteries. These lights are
useful in examining the threats of
their patients. Orders for vest pocket
batteries are frequently received from
vaudeville performers and actors in
comic operas. who use them for spec

and automatic pianos play. They illu-

receptions and add brilliancy to tho
