EDIsoN's NEW BATTERY.
The Electrical Wizard Claims to Hav.
Solved Storaae Problem.

New York May 30.--"Good- to the
horse for commercial use" says Thorn
as A. Edison, who announces that he
has perfected a storage battery for
wagons, automobiles and other road
vehicles.
1t is recalled that Edison is not given
to mere vainglorious boasting. He al
ways keeps well in bounds in making
his announcements, and does not claim
more than he can perform. He has
hundreds of inventions to his credit,
and all of them are commercially sue
cesSful
These facts lead thoughtful men to
the conclusion that Edisons storage
battery probably marks new era In
the use of motive power. 1t may we'll
be another mlepost in human progress.
like the invention of the incandescent
lamp. In fact, Mr.. Edison is quoted as
saving that the new ,>attcry is his
greatest invention since the electric
lamp was perfected. Mr.. Edison him.
self can not suppress enthusiasm when
explaining the new battery.
Briefly stated. it's merits are these:
One charge is sufficient to run a vehicle
100 miles. The battery is light, not
very costly and practically indestruc-
tible
Perhaps the greatest objection to
electrical vehicles heretofore has been
the fact that their power capacity was
too limited. The weight of the ponder
cur batteries has also been serious
objection.
Mr.. Edison's new battery meets these
objections so completely that 1t Is free
ly predicted his invention will soon rev
olutionize the automobile business and
make great changes in the propulsion
of many other road vehicles. Mr.. Edi-
son himself expects to see his battery
take the place of horses on delivery
wagons of all kinds in cities. and he be-
lieves that in time the principle will be
extended to the propulsion of street
cars, railroad trains and steamships.
The battery is very compact. 1t is
inclosed in q sealed steel case about
twelve inches high, six inches long and
four wide. The interior of this cell is
lined with an insulating substance,
which is not subject to tfe solution of
potassium hydrate which is used. The
positive element is iron; the negative is
nickel The only renewal necessary
beyond the regular recharging, is the
addition occasionally of little water
lost thru evaporation. The battery does
not depreciate, Mr.. Edison says.
.Do YOUR battery plates buckle under
short Circuit or sudden heavy loads" Mr.
Edison was asked.
mot on your life he replied. you
can't do that battery up. We've been
irving to do ii right along, but haven't
succeeded"
Mr. Edison does not propose manu-
featuring electric vehicles, but will
turn out the batteries from his fac
tory, which he has been fitting up al
Glen Ridge, n. j.
The cost of charging the batteries
will be practically the same as the cost
of a supply of gasoline to an engine
developing an equal horse power, but
Mr.. Edison claims Il saving IN the cost
of maintenance and in repairs, as well
as freedom from annoyance from fire.

frosts have done damage to vegetables

activity still rules, with iron and steel
hardware, lumber, the building trades
and bituminous coal isplaying excep-
tional activity. Failures continue well

Following in the wake of the Wei
sert fire, on Monday morning, at 2:30,
the department was summoned to the
home of John Anderson, a short dis
ance above the head of Tuner street
where they found the house enveloped
in flames and fast being destroyed. On
the same lot was another house belong
ing to Mr.. Anderson, and this too, was
sharing the same fate. The Anderson
family were at Emporium, and MIR.
Anderson was working at the B. & S.
round house, looking after the engines
of the company
The general theory of the cause of
this fire was the explosion of gas, which
was heard by the neighbors. Several
families were awakened by the noise
and Immediately went to the scene and
made every effort to save some of the
household effects, and accomplished
much in this respect.
A representative of the Republican
saw Mr. Anderson and learned that
his loss will amount to about 81 800,
also that he carried an insurance of
about 81, 200, which will not cover the
loss.-Austin Republican.
