The Issue Today.

The work cut out for the commit

session devoted to going thoroughly

through subcommittee making a
hurried canvass of the city for just as
large a bonus as the business men will
subscribe as a guarantee against poor

will finance itself, once started. but
there must be a sufficient guarantee

stand at the fair grounds might burn
down. Everybody might be stricken
with cholera and unable to go to the

$4,000 per day. And in the event of
these things somebody must pay the

guarantee. Nobody should give a

The balance OF power in Europe. In the

will undertake the work in earnest there

The enthusiasm OF her overseas donin-

A pledge for thu future, but not shield

MASTERING SMOKE.
What the Illinois Central Has Been
Able to Accomplish.

From the Providence Journal.
Remarkable success has attended the ef
forts Of the Illinois Central to reduce To-
connective smoke in Chicago, according to
the statement Of General Manager Har-
riman to the city council committee on
local transportation at discussion OF a
pending ordinance on smoke. The elimi-
nation of - per cent of smoke certainly
is a creditable performance, and this was
accomplished largely by the intelligent
work OF the firemen, who had received
courses of instruction on right methods
of stocking. Coke also was used in the
experimental work. Mr.. Harrman's as
sertion that the average observer cannot
tell the difference between a coal and
coke burner on the Illinois Central indi-
Gates that the problem of locomotive
smoke has been solved.
But all the credit is not due to the I'LL
nois Central. The city had so much to
say about the enforced use.. of electric
power on the railway lines that Mr.. Har-
riman and his subordinate realized that
if they did not abate the smoke nuisance
the agitation for a change of motive
power might cost the company millions
Of dollars. The movement, while Of bene-
fit to the public in clearing of the air.
also IS of advantage to the company in
that smokeless combustion increases the
efficiency of the fuel burned and thus
cuts down one of the principal items in
the cost Of railway operation. The Hi
nois Central is more than repaid for the
attention given the subject Of stocking.
A popular idea Is that locomotives are
responsible for about all the smoke in
city. Undoubtedly they contribute large
percentage OF the impurities which
brought about the appointment Of smoke
inspectors; but manufacturers who en-
ploy cheap and inefficient f1remen are de-
serving of as much supervision as the
railway companies. The report OF the IL
linois Central should encourage every
municipality to continue the fight for
smckeiess chimneys. If smoke can be
abolished in a railway yard the owner OF
a brewery or a machine shop has no ex-
cuse for polluting the air. A stationary
boiler with constant load offers fewer
antiquities than a locomotive worked
under varying conditions.
Smoke inspectors need not fear that en-
forcement of rigid law will injure any
one: ON the contrary, approximately per-
feet combustion under ordinary conditions
will insure sufficient economy In coal ana
more than offset the higher wages paid
to competent firemen.

VOLTA'S DISCOVERY.
How Inventor Of the Battery Con-
ceived His Ideas.

From the Electric News.
PERHAPS the most familiar of all words
IN electrical phraseo'ogy is the Woro
volt" which means the unit of electrical
pressure or potential The name volt is
given to this unit in honor OF Alexander
Volt. the famous Italian scientist. who
exnerimented with electricity more than
a century ago.
Alexander Volta was born in Como,
italy, in 114J. In 1I14 he was appointed
professor of physics in the Gymnasium of
Como In 1779 he was given the chair of
physics in Pavia. and In 1871 received the
Copley medal of the Royal Society. In
lS01 NAPOLEON called him to Paris to
slow his experiments on contact electrici-
ty and a medal was struck In MS honor.
In 1916 the Emperor of Austria made him
director of philosophy OF Padua. He
died in the year 1927.
1t was Volta who discovered that cleo
tricity could be produced by chemical ac-
ton and he built the first electric gen.
orator consisting of plates OF copper and
zinc arranged alternately one above the
other and separated by liquid capable
of conducting electricity. This battery
was called the voltaic pile. in honor Of
it's inventor. The pile or battery SO
made was capable OF producing a con-
staut flow of electricity Previous to this
Galvani had made his famous frog-leg
experiments, noting the muscular contrac-
tit.ns of the leg when brought In contact
with iron He assumed that this strange
phenomenon was caused by vital fluid
flowing out of the nerves of the frog
through the iron. Volta at first believed
this 20 be true, but subsequent expert
ment. convinced him that 1t was nothing
but a new form of electricity caused by
chemical action.
Ont of these extremely simple expert
ments grew the .rst chemical battery,
which differed but slightly from the wet
and dry batteries of the commercial world
today which supply the current for tele-
phones and telegraphs, signals, gas en-
gines, automobiles and thousand other
things which require a small current of
electricity.
