STORING SURPLUS ELECTRICITY.

To the Editor of The Tribune.
Sir; In your issue OF the 9Th instant. AN Engi-
moor" in giving his views concerning The Sale OF
Surplus Electricity" makes this statement;
The suggestion that electric energy can be usefuly
and proitably stored during those hours when
there is leas; demand for II in regular course or
onera tiops IS because of cost OF batteries ana the
ioss of energy due their use. as FAR from a
nractical way OF supplying the needs of the public
as any suggestion can wei be.
Were this Engineer familiar with the equip
ments of the stations OF the largest electric light
ing and power companies, supplying direct current
in this country and abroad. he would know that
they include storage batteries and that one or the
PRINCIPAL functions Of these batteries is the accu.
mutation OF surplus energy during the hours OF
light demand on the system this accumulated en-
erev being used assist the generating units dur
ing the periods OF heavy load.
that the cost Of batteries and the loss OF energy
due 10 their use are such as to render their
oneraton unprota bic is demonstrated by the fact
that they are In daily service on the systems OF the
Edison companies in New-York ave plants(, Bos
ION -four plants. Brooklyn two plants). Chicago,
Cleveland Hartford. san Francisco. Philadelphia,
Washington Richmond etc. and In the power
houses and on the lines Of about twenty-five cleo
trio railway companies; a. ,, -, -
