Possibilities Of the Storage
Battery.
Daily States.


It is now admitted by electrical
experts that all that Mr.. Edison
has said about the economical ad-
|vantages Of his storage battery is
true. Prof. Serviss, practical
scientist, has made careful stu
dy Of the new invention and In
dorses the opinion of the invent or
that it will do away with the troll
ly, the locomotive and the horse.
This may appear to be an extrava-
CANT claim, but as the Philadel-
phia Record remarks III is not more
Incredible than the announcement
Of the discovery of the incandes-
cent lamp was to certain electri-
clans who stubborniy contended
that it was impossible to produce
an electric light of less than 200
candle power.
According to "a description Of
the new discovery, which the Re-
cord publishes, the main feature
of Edison's storage battery and
the one that is the most original,
is superoxide Of nickel. This,
it is said, forms the positive pole,
and it operates in such manner
as to overcome all defects which
prevented the success Of former
storage battery systems. Briefly,
the advantages of the new cell are
found to be: "The absence of de-
teriorstion by work; large storage
capacity with light weight; capa-
bility Of being rapidly charged
and discharged and of Withstand.
ing careless treatment; and, final.
lily, cheapness. 1t is confidently
affirmed that not only shall we
have no trolleys, locomotives Of
horses in the future. but no more
putting steam auto wagons. nc
more noisy gas engines and ne
more costly subways. Everything
that moves ON wheels will be dri
ven by stored electricity"
