Invention Of miller Reese Hatcbin-
son weighs Only Six Ounces.
Miller Reese Hutchinson Of New
York city. the inventor Of an electrical
instrument which assists the deaf TO
hear, has also devised j storage bat
terry for use with that apparatus, says
the New York Tribune The two fea-
lures Of this cell which make it unlike
others are that its contents are dry,
or at least will not spill, and the ener-
gy which is put into it is more smme-
diately available for service. The adj
vantage Of the first of these traits is
that the battery can be carried In the
pocket and turned upside down with
out harm. To illustrate the second
virtue Mr. Hutchinson shows the OBJ
server that he can get six volts out OF
a six ounce parcel no bigger than a
cigar case, whereas other secondary
batteries yield only two volts per celk
While it is possible in consequence TO
respond more promptly to any demand
on its resources, the cell will not take
a bigger charge on do more work
