Albany. Dec 8 (speciaD.-The astonishing re-

A GIANT STORAGE BATTERY.
It Is the Most Powerful in the World
and Was Constructed by Harvard
University For the Purpose of
Studying the Nature of the
Roentgen Rays.

Among the. first scientists in this
country to experiment with the Roent-
gen rays was Professor John Trow-
bridge of Harvard university, whose
early successes in this new field of in
vestigation attracted wide attention.
The more Professor Trowbridge studied
these strange phenomena the more he
became convinced that the ordinary
methods of producing the Roent-
gen rays were unsatisfactory and
not calculated to give the best
results. AS every one knows,
these rays for the new pho
Biography are excited by passing a cur
rent from some kind of an electrical
machine through glass bulb from
which the air has been previously ex-
hausted to a great extent, in other
words, through what is commonly
known as a vacuum tube or Crookes
tube. The machines usually employed
for sending this current are the induc-
ton coil, the large static machine, or
the Tesla or Thompson coil, the last
two used in connection with "step-up
transformers. The objections to all of
these machines is that they furnish an
irregular supply of electricity and in
some instances lead to a confusion Of
effects, that is, make it difficult to de-
termine which are caused by the
Roentgen rays and which by the ma
chine
1t became, therefore, highly desirable
to have a source of electricity which
should be at once steady and possessed
of sufficiently high tension for the work
in hand Casting about him for some
thing of this sort, Professor Trow-
bridge hit upon the storage battery as
best meeting the requirements of the
case His observation of the working
of a high tension accumulation in the
experimental laboratory of the Ameri-
can Bell Telephone company led him
to hone that such an accumulation on
a larger scale would satisfy his needs,
and he accordingly set about the con-
struction of such an accumulation in
his laboratory at Harvard. This was
several months ago. and it is only after
weeks of effort that the professors
object has been attained. He has now
at his disposition the largest storage
battery in the world. a battery 20
times as large as the one from which
he took model. or containing 10000

which do not generate electricity them
selves, like the cells of a chemical bat

current, and serve as a reservoir of

INTERESTING CODES OF SIG
MAILS USED AT SEA.
The International, Semaphore and
Long-Distance Systems Now En-
ployed-

Nineteen flags and % forms of signals
have been so arranged through mans
ingenuity that they tell the tale of
prosperity or distress to their sister
vessels in transit, and by this interna-
tional system ships that pass in the
night" may speak through silent lips
to one another. Ships that go out to
sea always bear away somebody's
friends. whose lips have felt the parting
salute, and whose hearts carry the last
tender love message. These vessels
pillow through smooth or angry waters
as the fates in their cratic moods may
decree, and as vessel meets vessel or
the great marine highway the work
ing of the signal code is an operation
of deep interest to all travellers. Upon
