but then he Will DC able to build more than 30,000 houses with the one set of ,l molds.
 J "The molds can be taken down in a few hours after the house has been fin ished, and they may be earted to any part of the world in less space than is required for shipping an ordinary der rick. That's what vii lappeal strongly to commercial economy. In selling con tractors the iron castings shall re- strict them in the use of cement that will have no air bulbs. The cement will be poured into the moulds until it flows over at the top. Then the house is l practically finished. I t sell the molds to any who do not satisfy me of the quality of their concrete formula. In the great San Francisco disaster the houses which withstood the earthquakes were built of cement"
 Storage Battery for Trucks
 Mir. Edison was asked how he was progressing with his storage battery for driving trucks. He caught the eye of a gray-haired man in the party and be- fore answering the question called out to the visitor:
 "Hello, George! Have you got any more 105 per cent copper'" Then he sfilingly said:
 ''I don't mind telling you that have at last succeeded in getting the storage battery proposition to condition in which it is of economic value. l am turning out three hundred storage bat teries week for trucks. This after a three-years test. I realized that if I made battery capable of doing only | 12,000 miles when a new plate became necessary it would do no more than the horse was able to do. I decided that if the battery was able to accomplish 50,- 900 miles without new plate, the horse was dead. Next December expect to begin supplying storage batteries to trucks, and then it vii be cheap enough for even Tenth avenue butcher to pur- chase it.
 ''I have succeeded in perfecting 50,- l000-mile battery. It vii lbe able to take twice the load of the ordinary truck, will have twice the speed, and will take up half the space. In word, it will be i eight times as useful as the horse and wagon. In December, when we will be- gin to deliver these batteries, the horse of Manhattan will disappear forever" :"
 Thousand Words Minute
 MT. Edison was shown wireless mes- sage from w. w. Bradfeld of the Mar conf company, saying that the new across -the-ocean wireless system was working at the rate of twelve words a minute. MT. Edison $ comment on this was:
 "Give Marconi ten years and he will be sending 1000 words minute by wireless. He won't need any duplex system to do it, either. Marconi is the man. At present he can't make it as great from an economic standpoint as is the submarine cable, because there is an absorption of electric waves in cable that we don't get in the air. There is no reason why the wireless can't do as well as the telegraph Once l Sent | 5000 words minute between New York and Philadelphia, and can do it now. It is true that this record was cut down to 1000 words from Washing ton to New York, and forty words a minute from Charleston to New York, but then ether is instantaneous and Marconi is star.
 "Are you working on wireless?"
 "No. I don't tread on Marconi s toes. He is 8 star performer. He will master the atmospheric conditions be- tween London and New York in few years; and, furthermore, he will be able to prevent by legal suit any other com pany putting in anywhere about his stations. Common law gives him the right.
 "The Bell Telephone Company either has or is about to begin suit against the New York, New Haven and Hart ford Railroad Company for interference by means of high voltage and it's third rail with the Bell wires. Its suit is on
