CHILD BURNED
EAST ORANGE GIRL NEARLY
MET SISTERS FATE.
Ill Omen Came True When Little Gene
We've Gagen's Dress Caught
Fire.

While playing with a young friend Sat-
urday afternoon. Genevieye Gagen, 7 years
old, daughter OF Mr.. and Mrs. William
Gagen. of 90 Clinton street north, East
Orange, was badly burned at the home of
Mr.. and Mrs. William Bernard, at %
Clinton street, East Orange. For a long
time her condition was critical, but 1t is
now believed the child will recover. She
will be confined to bed for several weeks.
A few years ago a sister, Catherine
Gagen, about 7 years old, was burned to
death by coming in contact with a bon
fire. The child had been playing in the
roadway with other children, when It
passed close to the flames and died shortly
after her burning clothes had been dragged
off. A few weeks ago a grocery clerk was
stricken i'll at the GaRen home while de-
livering orders, and the mother believed at
the time 1t was a sign something would
happen to one of her children.
At the time of the accident Saturday the
and William Bernard were rornping
about the kitchen when her clothes brushed
the open crate of the kitchen
In a minute her clothing was
aflame, and her hair caught fire. Both
screamed and the Gagen girl ran
the room. Mrs. Bernard, who was
at the time. ran down and quick
ly wrapped a rug about the child, and
DIR. Thomas N. Gray, of 20 Halstead street,
East Orange, who was nearby, applied
lotions. Saturday evening morphine was
given the child to allay her pain.

Mr.. EDIsOM'S --LATEST"
Hopes to Perfect His Storage Battery to
Drive Truck 10000 Miles.

Thomas A. Edison IS quoted as saying at
his factory in West Orange Saturday that
he hopes to perfect his storage battery so
that 1t will drive trucks 10000 miles before
giving out.
when l first completed my battery
said he, 81 thought it was so perfect that
I could improve upon it no further. But
as my experiments progressed | discov-
cred that science, my master. had played
a little joke on me and had let me see
only a little way Into the future instead
of a long way.
THE battery that I had made was going
to drive a truck 1000 miles. Although l
realized that the practically perfect bat
terry ought to be able TO drive a truck
twice that far before it became exhausted,
YET | thought Mt the time that such a
battery could not be made and I made my
prediction that New York would be a
horseless city by December, this year, on
the strength Of the one ] had already
accomplished.
Now I know that l was wrong, be-
cause l have begun to manufacture a bat
terry that can push a truck 10000 miles in-
stead of the 25.000 that was my fondest
hope. When / spoke of the horseless De-
cember OF 1907 science was quietly laugh
Ing at me. / make no horseless prediction
for my new battery; I merely state that
before 1t wears out 1t can drive a truck
10000 miles"
Mr.. Edison said he hadn't time to ex-
plain the why and wherefore Of his in
%vention. but the principle of 1t was that
the materials Of which II is made de-
teriorate very slowly.
And that, too, I am unable to ex-
said he. For instance, / bury a
piece of pipe at a spot I know of near
Milan. Italy. 1t goes to pieces in two
years. l bury the same pipe In the ground
in New York. 1t lasts fifty years. Why?
Who knows?' Nobody.
But we all know that one pipe rots In
one place and lasts in another. And in
like manner 1 know that my new bat
terry will last where all former ones have
worn out. Why? 1 cannot say. The
greatest scientist that ever lived has at
best but scratched the surface of nature.
Nature breaks through our little harnesses,
kicks over our time limits and in general
laughs at us most of the time"
