Boy Invents Wonder.

The invention of new battery
by Frank O. Curtis. a Milwaukee
boy, it is clsimed will put petrole-
um products out of the market as
too expensive, either for light, heat
or power.
The Curtis invention is to be ex-
plorted by a company formed With
$4,000 capital, all of which is
said to have been subscribed by
such men as President Marvin
Hughitt, of the Northwestern Rail-
way; President Fred D. Under
wood, of the Erie Railway, and
other large corporation officials.
When the invention came to the
notice of the railway men interest
ed about year ago they allowed
tests to be made on their lines
The battery has been in operation
on the Northwestern for three
months and on the Pullman cars
for the same length of time, and
seems to be the light of the future.
Some of the statements about it
are:
The battery is composed of new
alloy for the electrodes and new
solution which develops the cur
rent desired up to a high degree of
voltage. The plan is to make bat
teries for installation in houses
where a single battery will be suf-
foient to light and heat the entire
structure. An equipment for the
entire house is said to cost but 5000
and the solution 5 cents 8
cell, each cell lasting indemnity
In automobiles the battery has
been used successfully to produce
the necessary power. In q test a
battery of IA cells maintained Is
16 candle power lamps at full oan-
dIe.poWer from Sc to Is hours. A
runabout equipped with an H.
cell battery, 4 oy 3 by 10 inches in
size, ran over 200 hours on the first
charge of the solution.

What do you think of steam

mel in order to run on the Ohio
river, and so doing all the way
from Rochester, Pa, to Wheeling,
distance of about so milesp This
is not a fairy tale, but fact. The
steamer Queen City did ii and her
nearly 100 passengers sboar rather
enjoyed the novel experience of
mud boating on the STATELY and
majestic" Ohio.
On account of the stage at look
No. 2, below the Pittsburg harbor,
the Queen City, which draws pref
ty heavily, was unable to get into
the Smoky City harbor. She ran
upstream as far as Rochester and
there waited for several hours, un-
loading and taking on freight and
passengers.
When she started down stream,
she found that the bottom of the
boat was touching the bed of the
river. From Rochester she thus
plowed to Toronto, where the night
was spent. Thursday morning she
resumed her coGrse.
With Capt. Phil Anshufz at The
wheel, the Queen continued pIow-
ing her way down stream. She was
touching bottom all the way, ar.

TELLS OF BALLOON TESTS
Temperature Of III Degrees Below
Zero Recorded at HIGH Altitude.

temperature OF III degrees bcloW
Zero Recorded at High Altitude.
New York, Oct. 30.-That a balloon
and there recorded a temperature Of
Ill degrees below zero, fahrenheit,
was one Of the statements made in
the course of an address at the last
days discussion of the aeronautical
congress here by Professor A.. Law
renee Rotch of the Blue Hill obserra
tory, Boston.
Professor Rotch told of his long
series of experiments with miniature
balloons for the purpose of testing
currents and securing temperatures at
high attitudes. The balloons are
made of rubber and carry special in
struments for recording distance trav-
eled, altitude and temperature, which
are attached TO a parachute. When
1T a great height the hydrogen. with
which the balloons are filed, expands
to an extent where the balloon itself
eXplodes and the parachutes carrying
the instruments and the records made
On the trip floats down to earth.
During the curse of his expert.
ments Professor Rotch has sent up
some eighty balloons and a great num-
Der of the parachutes have been re-
turned to him.
When the balloons are released they
travel upwards for about two hours
and then remain nearly stationary for
another hour before they explode.
The descent of the parachute requires
about an hour more. The longest
flight of any one OF the balloons was
l55 miles.
Professor Fotch said that his ex-
periments also showed that at a dis
tance of about eight miles from the
earth's surface in the temperate zone,
the temperature recorded. which had
been falling at the rate of about one
degree for each 200 or 800 yards, be-
gan suddenly to rise again, proving
that there was a stratum of warm air
above where intense cold had been
/ recorded.

Pierre, s. D., Oct. 30.-Parties from
the Cheyenne river agency report the
troops are making the march for the
Ute camp and expect to reach there
today. While no overt act has been
committed by the Utes, they are well
armed and say they will fight if any
attempt is made 10 compel them to
send their children to school or put
them TO work. The troops go with or
ders TO disarm the Utes, and such ac-
tiOn may bring on a fight.

that the Ute Indians have promised
to cause no disturbance while repre-
