An ELECTRICAL REvOLU-
TION
Philadelphia North American.

The solution of many ,,ifficnlt
problems in the Application of
electrical power Is foreshadowed
oy EdlSSh's construction of a
practicable lightweight storage
battery. Great weight and rapid
deterioration of cells have been the
serious defects of the storage bat
terry system and have precluded
it's general use for traction pur-
poses. Edision has reduced the
weight of batteries from $50 to 55
pounds per horse power hour, re
duced the time of charging 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 truck
ing in cities. In time, perhaps, il
will take the place of the trolley
and Danish poles and wires from
the streets, to the great improve.
ment. The Electrical Review says;
Mr. Edison has produced no in.
vention of broader utility in the
electrical field since incandescent
lighting was evolved from the busy
brain of the same pioneer of in
dustry. 1t is hard to 'foresee all
the meaning of this Improvement
But we may look a little way and
see the noiseless city, the suppress

new life to our canals, and Will

pedo boats of swiftness and secrecy

ton gives electricity a new foot
hold in its career of industrial con

Monday.

On last Tuesday, at noon, the
foundry and machin e shops OF
Mr.. Geo. Simon were shut down.
The IBERIAN learns that the en-
ployees of that establishment made
a demand for shorter hours-they
demanded 8 hours, instead Of 10,
as the working day, on the same
pay. Mr.. Simon's reply to the de-
mand was to wait till the working
day in New Orleans was settled
and he would abide by the results
there. This proved unsatisfactory
to the workmen and work was
stopped. We learn that Mr..
Simon then sent out notices to his
customers and patrons, stating the
condition of affairs and that opera
tons would not be resumed till

foundry employees telegraphed to

which has been selected is said to be one |
of the best. All of the scenes of the play /
are laid in the Sierra Nevada moun-
tains with the exception Of the last act |
which has for its locale the Sacramento
valley, the action taking place in and ,
about the mining camp of Ell Dorado, or
Smiths Pocket, as it is also called. As
the curtain goes up on the first act, the
camp is seen in the early morning. 1t
is Just before the arrival of the stage; /
the one means of communication with the |
outside world that was vouchsafed the lit |
tie camp. 'M'liss,' the heroine, typi-
cal child of the mountains, is in the throes |
Of jealousy Her schoolmates are annoy !
ing her, but she gives them as good as
they send every time. About the camp is +,
a Mexican, Juan Walters, who has in some
way learned that "Bummer Smith, the
father of Mliss, has discovered a valuable |
pocket, and he is figuring how he can get |
it away from him. The stage drives on
with "Yuba Bill on the box seat, and |
''Yuba Bill' is the one man that has the

toughest and TOUGHEST of the miners do |
not care to go up against him with i'm !

evidence, and even then, although M'liss !
does not know 1t, Cupid's arrow has hit
him and the little dart annoys him. The
mine which "Bummer Smith has discov |
cred is to be the fortune Of M'liss, and
the Mexican, seeing no other way to pos
sess himself of the rich property, decided
on murder. In this crime he is aided by |
an adventures, who when the deed is
done, is to pass herself off as the dead |
mans wife, and the mother of Miss. The |
deed is done as the plotters agree, and the
woman plays her part so we'll that for the
time being the miners really think that
she is the girls mother. There are few
exceptions. First there is the school
master, who is arrested for the murder, /
and then there is 'Yuba Bill" That does
not deter the trial of the schoolmaster
from proceeding, and had 1t not been for
the efforts of Yuba Bill and M'liss, he GER
tainly would have ben handed over to
Judge Lynch. AS lit is, the schoolmaste
is bound over and for safe keeping he is
put in an unused house near the old 1ume,
from which he escapes, aided by Yuba
Bill and M'liss. In the last act everything
is righted "Mliss" comes to the Bijou
