London.-John Morley, the distin-

ever, retain the Office Of secretary for

a peerage is his declining health and

Morley has likewise been called the

passion for righteousness and his pub

him.

Menlo Park laboratory, his wOs re-
lating principally to the chemR ~ Of
rare earths.
Late in 1879 he became eli lfcal en-
gineer of the New York branch of the
Western Electrical Company. This
was at the time when the telephone
was being generally introduced, and
when dynamos were first being ap-
piled to telegraphic purposes. In the
construction and installment of instru-
ments for telegraphy and telephony
and of such measuring instruments as
we're then known, Mr.. Kelly received
a thorough training.
In 1882 he became laboratory assist.
ant of Edward Watson, then chief elec-
trician Of an electric lighting company
in New York, and with the exception
of one year Mr.. Kelly continued his
association with Mr.. Watson until
July, 1886. Some of the most impor-
tant work, such as the research which
ended in the discovery Of high resist
ance alloys of very low or even mega
tive temperature co-efficients, was sub
stantially carried out by Mr.. Kelly.
These discoveries were followed by
Mr.. Kelly succeeding Mr. Watson as
chief electrician of the United States
Electric Lighting Company, which in
1899 passed to the Westinghouse inter
ests.
In January, 1892, Mr. Kelly Joined
another Berkshire county electrical in
ventor, William Stanley of Great Bar
rington, in experimental work The
work done by Mr.. Kelly in this con-
nection gave great impetus to the al
ternating current business.
Mr. Kelly's inventive work is par
TALLY represented by so patents. The
art of building transformers and gen.
orators Of alternating currents was
revolutionized and Mr.. Kelly and his
colleagues were the first to put poly
phase motors into actual commercial
service. That success naturally led to
long distance transmission work, and
the first 'lOng-distance transmission
plants in California (indeed the first
in the world were undertaken on
Mr.. Kelly's recommendation and ad-
vice.
Most of Mr.. Kelly's work has been
of too technical a character to COM
mand popular ppreciation-such, for
instance, as that OF improving the
quality of steel He was the first one
to make an hysteretically stable steel,
a matter of more Importance than
the comparatively spectacular trans
mission work.
Mr.. Kelly is member Of the Amer
lean Institute of Electrical Engineers,
the American ElectrOchem society, the
American Academy of Political Sci
ence. the American Economic associa-
ZION. American Statistical society,
American Irish Historical society, En-
gineers' club, al Of the United States,
