tenn However there is little satisfaction to be
drawn from the knowledge of this, and what
must do is to improve what have, devise
other and better methods.
Over this problem many great minds have pom
dered. Indeed, considerable advance has been
made. To quote only single instance, the Cooper
Hewitt mercury-vapor lamp gives far more light for
the same amount of electrical energy than does
the ncandescent lamp. But still far from
the ideal which has been described as follows:
A glass tube containing some body-at present
unknown-will form the lamp This body, by some
electrical means, will be caused to phosphoresce
brilliantly, giving a soft white light, and emitting
heat Could do this to-day, could obtain
about ten times the amount of light get
from a ton of coal. Then we could afford to make
cities as bright by night as by day, and if
desired work the twenty-four hours Some slight
progress has been made in this direction, but
cannot where it will lead
Another problem that has been studied as much
if not more, than any other connected with cleo
trical work is the production of perfect storage
battery. Fifty years ago the first real progress in
storage batteries was made by Plante, eminent
French physicist. By indefatigable work he tried
combination after combination of different metals
and different solutions. finally deciding upon two
lead plates immersed in diluted sulphuric acid
This type of cell is still the most important one,
and the by far most generally used. Other
combinations have been tried, but have failed to
drive out the old type; so the work OF the past
fifty years has resulted mainly in perfecting the
old Plante cell
What the objections to this storage-battery?
There are number, some of them serious. In the
first place, lead is poor material from meChan-
ical standpoint. 1t is not strong, and it is heavy
Weight would not matter much, if it not from
the fact that to get the necessary strength must
a great deal more lead than can be effective in
storing up energy. The battery is or less
delicate and must be treated with consideration
otherwise it deterorates rapidly. Since it contains
liquid, it is not readily transportable. We do not
get out all the electrical energy that put into it.
in fact, we lose a considerable part. Finally, the
lead cell is expensive to make What is the out
look for improvement? That is hard to say. Mr.
Edison has taken up this subject again, and prom
ises greatly improved storage-battery. He has
departed from the lead type; but is not ready to
supply his type, which consists of nickel and
iron plates in a solution of caustic alkali.
The field has been explored pretty thoroughly,
but aside from the two types mentioned no COM
bination promises well. With the situation as it
stands to-day, the electric automobile can hardly
hope to compete with other types for out-of town
service. For city service it has many advantages;
but for long it is not likely to become serious
competitor of other types, unless a combination
type is devised in which a small gasolene engine
and storage battery used together, arrange

the old simple Morse system and it is probable
that where the work is light the old system will
persist. For important centers, the newer systems
are sure to be used. The telegraph problem thus
would seem to be nearing solution, far the
method of transmitting is concerned. When greater
speeds are needed they be secured, for trans
mission at the of forty thousand words hour
has been made successfully-a speed much greater
than anything needed to-day.
The telegraph is only method of transmitting
intelligence. Indeed far its is concerned,
it is secondary to the telephone-and in this field
there are also some important problems still await
ing solution. We cannot yet talk across more than
fourteen hundred miles of overhead wire.
If the wire is buried underground, must be done
in cities, the distance through which satisfactory
conversation be carried is much less. Shall
ever be able to talk from New York to San Fran
CISCO or from New-Yorl1 to London? Probably
yes, for by means of the Pupn system conversation
over long distances is much easier The chief diff
culties in applying this system to submarine work
are mechanical and at the present time efforts are
being devoted chiefly to improving land trans
mission. The other will come later.
Having obtained satisfactory method of trans
hitting the voice. so to speak, what the posi-
bilities of transmitting pictures The latter prob
lem is far difficult than the former, for while
sounds may be transmitted in effect one at time,
with a picture many effects must be transmitted
simultaneously, or else following one anOther SO
rapidly as to maintain a constant impression the
eye. Then we can hardly expect to do than
is now done by photography is to say, we
limited to producing effect not in coors,
but by lights and shades. So far progress has been
made in this direction merely in transmitting-or
rather telegraphing pictures point at time
Nothing of Importance has been accomplished
toward seeing electrically. Some say that this is
unimportant. Possibly so; but if one could see
his friend while he was talking to him the tele
phone, conversation would be far satisfactory.
A third method of transmitting intelligence is
accomplished by the telautograph. This is de-
vice which, by. electrical means, reproduces at
end of telegraph system the motions of pencil
at the other end Thus a message written at the
sending station is Immediately written out in fac
sinie at the receiving station. Any figure char
acter is reproducible This method has been pretty
well perfected and there would seem to be good
field for its application in the business world. For
transmitting orders, either throughout large
manufacturing establishment at railway ter
mina1 it would appear to be ideal. 1t already has
been applied in coast-defense work for transmitting
orders from the commanding officer of the firing
station to the gunners thus eliminating any posi-
bility of misunderstanding 1t remains to be
seen how widely this device will come into
The business of transmitting intelligence is
naturally one of exceeding importance. Three
methods of accomplishing this have been men

The problems con-

If the messages sent

been devised which give a speed greater than
that obtainable by the mechanical operator;
but the large companies have not believed
that they could replace satisfactorily the
entire manual system. However advances
are being made in this direction, and systems
are available which enable anyone able to
operate typewriter to despatch telegraphic
message that will appear at the other end
of the line in printed form. Such systems
are necessarily expensive as compared with
the old simple Morse system, and it is probable

NATIONAL LEAGUE STANDING.

Boston, June 2-The Giants through a battling
rally in the thirteenth inning Of to-days game
beat Boston by a score of to 5. Although
Ames did not pitch the final inning on account
of Strang batting for him in this inning, the
game, nevertheless according to the rules of the
contest, will be credited as his ninth straight
victory MoGinnity who was sent in to take his
place in this inning allowed only one hit, and
kept the home players from further scoring.
Ames although rather free in giving bases on
balls allowing eight men to walk, kept the seven
hits made from his delivery well scattered, with
the exception of the sixth inning. when he gave
two bases on balls, which, followed by Dele
hantys double to centre and Wolverton's single,
brought in three men, He struck out twelve
men.
Fraser, who pitched a fine game for Boston,
weakened in the thirteenth inning, and was bat
ted for four hits, with a total of nine bases,
which, with a tumble and hit by pitched
ball. gave the visitors five Two sharp
double plays and DonlinS long three e-bagger,
which cleared the bases in the thirteenth inning.

The Giants were first to score in the fourth
inning. making a Dahlen and Devln s

inning. Donlin, first up, sent out a two-bagger
to left field and Browne sacrificed. The former
scored on McGann's hit to right field. Bresna-
