EDISoN'S STORAGE BATTERY

Thomas A. Edison announces that years extensive
tests satisfied him of the merits and the future of
his new storage battery for eectrcmotor carriages.
This is the most important automobile news of the
day unless Mr. Edison departed from his custom of
avoiding vain boast 1t does not anything like
the immediate disappearance of the gasoline motor and its
evil odor But with the battery in increasing ser
vice the steam and gasoline machines will have inter-
esng competitor and the advance of the motor for
purely commercial will be vastly quickened 1t is,
indeed commercial service that the Edison batteries
have been chiefly tested.
The strong points in favor of electric carriages are
ease of operation freedom from odors safety and
a comparative noiseessness. Difficulties TO come
have been the weight of the old lead batteries and the
expense and trouble of recharging. Mr.. Edisons cells
wiegh half much those Of the old stye they will
carry a hundred miles charge and they will last
eight years where the life of lead cells is
year There is the nvetors for all this.
The application of the battery to the touring car
has not been fully considered by Mr. Edison C" not
automobile manufacturer he says, but the cells are
there If wanted Apparently the genius of Menlo Park
has opened promising way toward the popularizaon Of
motor carriages among people who put safety economy
comfort above racing records. who cannot afford
chaufourg and who themselves to become Ii
censed engineers.

supported cost of $353012 the taxpayersan

cordng to the official returns, is $S24,739.
Few states pay more for education than New Mexico
in proportion to the number of taxpayers and it is the
universal testimony that the legislature is liberal in its
appropriations and that the people pay school
promptly and willingly than other obligations. 1t is
claimed furthermore that the ieracy which objection
is made limited to the passing generationto the older
people of Mexican BIRTH who had opportunity for edu
