MIGHTY NEW BATTERY.
Electric Device Gives Tremendous
Power, Says Its Inventor.

Electric Device Gives Tremendous
Power, Says Its Inventor.
Frank C. Curtis, inventor Of the new
battery expected to supplant present
devices for the furnishing Of light,
heat and power, recently gave some
remarkable instances Of its ability, ac-
cording to a Milwaukee special dis
patch to the New York Times.
For power purposes" he says,
eighteen cells 4 by by ID inches,
weighing about twelve pounds each, or
total of less than $50 pounds, were
used to run an electric runabout in the
streets of Milwaukee over $50 miles
with one charge of the chemical solu-
ton at a cost Of 81 for the change OF
solution.
Eight cells 4 by by IL inches were
used in connection with the motor OF
the submerged type and propelled the
boat for nineteen hours consecutively,
or a distance of about $50 miles.
six cells Of this battery were put
OF an electrical piano In conjunction
with a small motor and have been IN
constant use, furnishing power for the
piano for upward Of four months, and
are still in active use and have been
recharged within that period at inter-
walls of two months. 1t Is equally sue
cessful in lighting experiments.
THE invention is the discovery OF
new alloys to form the electrodes, potn
negative and positive, and also In the
combination of chemicals used In con-
nection with the electrodes. The de-
composition of the chemicals in solu-
tion furnish the electric current In as
large a quantity as may be desired
The power battery Is composed OF ma
terial that will last for many years.
the solution and ionite being the only
carts to be acted upon.
There Is no disintegration OF any
rarts of the cell except the ionite CYL
inder, which will give 10000 ampere
hours before 1t Is consumed. The size
of this cylinder is II by IL inches py
one quarter inch and can be replaced
AZ the present market price at cost
not exceeding 20 cents per cell. Tnese
ionite plates are produced direct from
the ore by an electrolytic process whlcn
nrecipitates the metal from Its sui
phides In the form Of sponge, Wnlch
f. rolled into sheets. The process Is
inexpensive and produces an alloy
consisting Of zinc, aluminium and eau
MUM, which is not acted upon by the
ionite solution when the battery Is mol
in use. When it is in use 1t has the
property of decomposing the ionite So
luton, which action furnishes ~ pei
cent of the energy produced by the
battery The ionite solution, oeng
cheaper than the metal. furnishes a
cheap fuel for the production OF eiec-
tricity.
Both solutions cost not over cents
per cell for renewal.
THE negative element consists OF
round element which is composed oI
specially prepared graphite. These
are treated with an antimony solution
and are then treated with a secone
solution. which leaves the antimony II
an insoluble form.
After one years testing, the ele'
ment being in constant use. there ha'
been no perceptible deterioration o.
the graphite or it's antimony ceiling
and 1t is found to have the same ca
pacity as when first put in use.'

tom is seen the old dry rag, used as
tinder, and upon this the flint and
steel reposed when the box was not In
use. Still more interesting Is the in
genious strike a light made in form
|of a pistol. The flint Is worked by the
trigger and strikes upon an upright
plate Of steel, throwing the sparks
through an opening upon the tinder
contained in a narrow box which takes
the place Of what would be the barrel
in the case of pistol. This contri-
vance is a relic of the old stage coach
days. BY means of 1t light could be
struck in a high wind. The matches
which were then used were strips Of
thin pine wood, the ends being dipped
in sulphur. One other tinder box may
be mentioned, namely, the "Chamak'-
still in use among the Himalayan
tribes. It is a little leathern pouch
containing flint and tinder, while the
steel is strip OF metal riveted along
one side Of the pouch. 1t Is Of small
size, suitable to be carried about the
person.
In conclusion we may dwell briefly
upon the developments of the match
proper as perfected by civilized man.
Phosphorus was discovered by Brandt
~ the seventeenth century, and was
used as a means of obtaining fire
shortly afterward. But its costliness,
together with the danger attending Its
use, initiated against its popularity.
But in the year 1905 the Partisan
Chancel introduced the so-called oxy-
muriate match. 1t was a slip Of wood
tipped with a mixture Of chlorate OF
potash, sugar and gum. To ignite 1t
the match was thrust into a bottle
containing a piece Of asbestos satur-
ated with sulphuric acid-an awkward
arrangement, especially in the dark.
Then came the 'Promethean"
matches, whose career was short lived.
They were a kind Of paper cigarette,
dipped in mixture Of sugar and
chlorate Of potash. Rolled within the
paper was tiny glass bulb filled
with sulphuric acid. To strike these
matches the tip was compressed be-
tween the teeth Of pliers. Ey this
means the bulb was broken, TIE acid
liberated and subsequent chemical
action caused ignition Of TIE paper.
The first really practical lucifer
match, however, was invented by John
Walker Of Stockton on Tees in 1897,
and by him named after Sir William
Congreve Of rocket fame. 1t consisted
Of a splint Of wood, first tipped with
sulphur and then with chlorate mix
ture. These matches were drawn rap
idly through a piece Of folded sand
paper to ignite them. 1t Is curious
to note that tin box containing sew
en- dozen Of them, together with the
necessary bit Of sandpaper, cost one
shilling.
Finally, after endless experimenting
inspired by handsome prizes offered by
America, England and other enlighten-
ed countries, the phosphorus safe
ty match was brought into being, put
ting the top stone, as it were, upon
mans monumental struggle with the
problem of striking a light.
1t is a curious commentary on the
old worlds slowness Of inventive gen.
ius that the first practical match should
have been made less than century
ago.

The Washington herald., 1907-10-26

In 1855 the President decided that the
antiQuated equipment Of the army and
navy was no longer 20 be endured, and
sent a commission abroad to study the
armament OF England, France, and Rus
sia. AS q result Of this expedition an
army gun factory at Watervliet on the
Hudson sprang into being, and the
Washington navy yard was turned into
a gigantic factory for naval equipment,
completing the big guns now cast at
Bethlehem, Pa A short while ago the
new Springfield was adopted as the reg
ulation rife for the army, and imme-
diately factories went TO work to iii
orders. In 1901 the Springfield Armory
put out as high as 400 a day, and Rock
island. 125 Within the first year Of the
change $4,000 arms were assembled, LOO
operations being required 10 assemble an
entire gun Of ninety-flve parts.
Because the Workmanship Of all SOL
diers in the civil war was declared notori-
ously bad. the National Rihemen's Asso-
citation was organized in 1su, and has
been the prime cause Of the marked i'm
prOvement in that art. A modern rife
can now be sighted 1900 yards with a
range of FIVE miles, a decided improve
ment on the one used at the battle Of
New Orleans by the Indian half-breed
who killed Pakenham- The Indians rifle
could not carry a thousand yards, yet
he killed the officer at a greater dis
tance by elevating his piece and allow
ing for the downward drop of the bullet
