Yes, it sounds too good to be
true, but that is just what the
wizard promises in his latest in
vention. His new street car has
no trolleys and requires no out
side power. 1t carries it's power
in itself, just likt house has its
own heating plant in the base
ment.
The new Edison storage battery
enables his wonderful street car
to do thest things. The battery
can be thrown out of a third story
window without harming it. The
first public test of the new cars
took place here the other day be-

The new car is ABSOLUTELY
practical for commercial pur-
poses. Whereas, the ordinary
depreciation is 80 per cent, I
have reduced it in the new
motor to As per cent. There
is a lot of nonsense in trolley
cars as thty are made now.
They should be made lighter
instead of applying four or
five tons to carrying one ton.
The new cars might be used
in the Immediate future for
taking cart of the increased
street railroad traffic in large
cities without increasing the
existing number of power
houses. Suppose that the
New York street railroads, for
instanct, bought 5000 of these
new storage battery cars for
use during rush hours. These
cars could suck up during the
night the power at the exist
ing power houses, practically
useless late at night, and be
fully charged when the rush
hours came.

Detroit, Mich.-Within "a hours

his wet fist the exposed end of an
electric light cord in his home and.

Johnnie Schram jumped and
grasped a broken guide wire in a
vacant lot at Frontenac and Grand
boulevards to take swing, as dozens
of children had done all last week.
But the swinging of the children had
worn the insulation from a high ten
sion wire on the same pole. Neigh
bors, attracted by the blue fire that
shot from the boys body, found him
dead, still clinging to the wire. Clar-
ence George Thompson, two and a
half, darted from his mothers side to
meet his little sister across the road
and was killed under car.

.STR|KEWON'TBE ESETTLEDS SOON
Miners Struggle May Last 80 Days,
and so Days in Some Districts
Is Predicted.

Chicago, Ill.-There is every in
dication that the great strike of
miners, which began when nearly 300,-
600 quit work, will not be settled with
in 80 days, and many believe that 60
days will pass before mining in some
of the districts is resumed. When the
miners left the pits they announced
that they would not return to work
until all differences were adjusted.
There are a number of reasons
given why it will be impossible
to settle the strike in a short time
Internal troubles among the miners
officials, demands in certain states by
the operators and miners and the de-
sire of the operators to get rid of the
coal on hand all enter into the case
and add to the complications inter-
fering with settlement. In Illinois
the president and secretary of the
miners are fighting for different poll
cies. Reports that Indiana operators
and miners would settle were not
taken seriously.
In western Pennsylvania the situa-
tion seems almost impossible of ad-
justment. The introduction of per-
missible explosives has caused the
tension.
While Ohio gives the most promise
of an early adjustment the western
Pennsylvania operators who own
mines in that state will refuse to set
tie with the Ohio miners.

of the two deaths followed even to the
ailments of the mother and son. Both
had caught cold that ran into quick
pneumonia and death within 12 hours
of the first attack.
BY strange chance the kilograms

one addressed to the mother, the other
addressed to the son--crossed each
