An Electrical Revolution.

The solution of many difficult problems
in the application of electrical power is
foreshadowed by Edison's construction of a
practicable lightweight storage battery.
Great weight and rapid deterioration of
cells have been the serious defects of the
orage-battery system and have precluded
its general use for traction purposes. Edi-
son has reduced the weight of batteries from
$50 to 30 pounds per horsepower hour,
reduced the time of changing one-half and
obviated deterioration by substituting iron
and nickel-oxide plates for lead cells.
The new battery with one charge will
propel an automobile one hundred miles
instead of thirty and make practicable the
use of electric vehicles for heavy trucking
in cities. In time, perhaps, it will take
the place of the trolley and Danish poles
and wires from the streets, to the great
improvement of public transportation.
The full scope Of utility of Mr.. Edison's
latest invention is recognized only by
electrical engineers, probably, but nc
technical knowledge is required to enable
the public to appreciate in general way
the Importance of the improvement. The
Electrical Rerie,O says =
''Mr. Edison has produced no invention
OF broader utility in the electrical field
since incandescent lighting was evolved
from the busy brain of the same pioneer OF
t. 70. 10 Co. oil +bf
ing of this improvement. But we may
look a little way and see the noiseless city,
the suppression of the horse, and the auto
mobile a factor of economic Importance in
general transportation. Electric tugboats
will give new life to our canals, and with
electric ferryboats will revolutionize our
harbors. Electric torpedo boats of swift
ness and secrecy will make present naval
ornaments of doubtful protection. The
invention gives electricity new footfhold
in its career of industrial conquest"
Mr.. Edison himself suggests another use
for the battery that is big with economic
possibilities when he calls attention to the
fact that it may be employed to accumulate
tidal power The old lead-cell battery, he
points OUT, ulu HUI dccuHuld1e Po"ei
quickly enough from the rise and fall of the
tides to come within the commercial limits
of tidal power, but the rapidity with which
the new battery can be charged overcomes
this drawback. When man harnesses the
ocean and compels it to open to him its
exhaustless reservoirs Of energy, how crude,
clumsy and wasteful will seem the present
roundabout methods of deriving power
from coal North American.
