ANOTHER EDISON BATTERY.

Thomas A. Edison has patented reversible
gaIyanic battery" or storage battery. THE Eec-
trical Review describes it. Finely powdered cop
per is put in pockets in the negative plate. which
is COMPOSED of nickel. There is another plate of
metallic magnesium An alkaline solution to which
a salt of zinc has been added completes the COM
bination When the battery is being charged the
zinc is deposited on the magnesium. and the copper
is converted into an oxide When the cell has been
fully charged little zinc still remains in the So
luton. During discharge these phenomena are re
yersed The zinc disappears from the magnesium
plates and copper returns to the metallic form
