terry calls for great deal of cobalt, and
cobalt at two dollars pound, Mr.. Edi-
son feels, would be looked upon as a
luxury by most of those very fortunate
persons whose pocketbooks enable them
to view even the imported gasoline tour
ing car as positive necessity to their
wel-being.
Mr.. Edison has inspected cobalt de-
posts i'll North Carolina. He has been
to Canada, He will go to Missouri. He
has other places on his visiting list. Will
his patient quest be rewarded by sue
cess? That is a question that automo-
bile manufacturers are anxiously asking
themselves. No one who knows Mr.. Edi.
son doubts that he has got pretty nearly
what he says he has in his storage bat
terry. Mr.. Edison has never been of that
type of man who announces that he has
something which time sooner or later
proves that he has not.
To invent and perfect an electrical
storage battery for widespread CONNER
cial use has been the dream, the ambi-
ton, of Mr.. Edison for years. Nay, it
has been his hobby, to the practical ex-
clusion of all other scientific investiga-
ton. He has worked day and night
over the problem; he has frequently
thought he stood on the threshold of
success, only to be disappointed the next
day, or week
In all these years that he has been
struggling with the problem interviewers
have had hard time to get him to talk
on any subject other than his storage
battery. His fellow scientists have
twitted him good naturedly on his lug

discoverable when used on paper. Only
when the piece of paper is heated before
fire, thus causing the chloride to lose
the water, does the writing stand out
blue, thus enabling it to be read with
ease. The writing can be made invisible
again by putting the paper in a damp
place or by holding it over a steaming
kettle, a la the heroines of long ago.
According to Watts Dictionary of
Chemistry" these are the properties of
cobalt: steel gray, lustrous, crystalline
plates; nearly white when polished; !;
hard; somewhat nalleable; very ductie
at red heat and upwards; slightly mag
netic, even at full red heat The com
pact metal does not oxidize in air at or
dinary temperatures
Chemically, cobalt is classed with iron
nickel and manganese in the iron group
In many respects it closely resembles
both iron and nickel, the latter more than
iron. 1t is found associated with silver,
nickel, iron, manganese and bismuth. 1t
is difflcult to separate cobalt from its
associates, especially nickel. 1t is seldom

that is used for the groundwork of the

the presence of oxide of cobalt as a
base makes it blue.
So remarkably does cobalt possess the
power of making things blue" to use
common expression, that even the
faintest trace of it will render iron Stag
distinctly blue. 1t could almost be said,
in all truth, that cobalt, in compound,
blues the world
Had it not been for cobalt the writers
of the old fashioned adventure novels
would have been deprived of one of their
stock and always thrilling incidents-the
invisible letter, written between the lines
of the visible letter, and always reaching
the heroine in the nick of time and keep
ing her from dying of anguish or hope
long deferred

turn OF conversation. 1t is scarcely to
be doubted that he has given more time
and thought 10 the battery than he did
to any one of his many inventions that
are now beneiiting mankind immeas-
urably. Mr.. Edison himself declares that
until he has perfected q storage battery
along the lines that he has laid down for
himself he will not feel that he has done
his full share of the worlds work
When one realizes how earnestly,
and with what singleness OF purpose, one
might say, Mr. Edison has pursued the

Cobalt, this gnome, this evil spirit that
holds such rosy promise for the future,
has been practically unknown to Sle
average person. Let us see what it is
and what it does.
1t is the principal ingredient Of a color
ing matter known as smalt, which is en-
ployed by laundresses to correct the vel
low color of newly washed linen, and
by paper manufacturers as blue pig
ment for staining writing papers and col
oring wall paper Smalt is the only
substance that will give lasting blue to
paper, and, until an artificial ultramarine
was introduced, it was used exclusively
for this purpose. Smalt is obtained by
fusing roasted cobalt ore with pearl-ash

and quartz sand. The molten mass is
poured into water and finely powdered
This powder it is that is used after the
fashion of indigo and to stain the dainty
blue note-paper that is favorite now-a-
days for carrying tender messages around
the world.
Cobalt, when compounded with oxy-
gen, also gives a blue color, and oxide
OF cobalt Is used exclusively to color
glass, porcelain and pottery The color
ing properties of cobalt blue, essentially
the oxide of cobalt, is so great that the
addition of one-thousandth part of CO.
bait blue to white glass is sufficient to
make the glass a decided blue.
Cobalt blue, as pigment, is used by
painters and water color workers; they
could not get many effects without it.

lain blue, Kings blue, Thenard's blue,

mined for itself alone; it is more profit
able to secure it as a by-product But
the day may not be far distant when
cobalt will be mined for itself alone In
its greatest quantity cobalt is now pro-
duced as an accessory of nickel.
There is evidence to show that the
use of cobalt in coloring glass is one of
the rediscovered secrets of the ancients.
ModeTn Europe did not know Of this
propery of cobalt oxide until I54o; be-
fore tat time the metal was supposed
to be Worthless, in compound, as it is
now of itself-except in Mr.. Edison's
battery of course Blue pottery and
glass recovered from ancient ruins have
been fotind to have cobalt as base for
their coior.
Not until almost two hundred years
after the first commercial use of this
gnome metal was discovered by Scheurer
did Brandt recognize it as one of the ele-
mentsl y Now, nearly two ard three
quarterscenturies after Brandt. it would
seem that the element itself is to be
proved commercially useful and cause
startling revolution in transportation, if
only It can be produced in sufficient
quantity and purity to make il cheap.

process. will render its use in Mr.. Edi-
sons factory impracticable.
Thd principal localities of cobalt pro-
ductdn to-day are Schneeberg, Saxony,
where the metal got its bad name; Mo-
dun, Norway; Tunaberg, Sweden; Mu-
sen, Rhenish Prussia; Bolivia; Chile; a
little spot in Missouri the Transvaal
wherd q pure variety of what is known
as spsiss cobalt free of nickel, has re-
Gently been found; and Canada, where
it is mined as an accessory of silver
