NEW EDISON BATTERY RUNS CAR.

What seemed in every way sue
cessful test of a street car equipped
with the new Edison storage bate
ry was made on the Orange Valley
and Passaic electric railway at West
Orange, N. j., the other day.
Thomas A. Edison himself could
not witness the test, but his elec-
trical expert assistant, Ralph II.
Beach, was on board the car with
street car men from all over the
country. The test was under the
auspices of the Public Service Cor
poration, and T. s. Adams, master
mechanic of that organization, was
motorman.
The car, which was specially con-
structed for the new batteries, is "a
feet long and carries 30 passengers.
One-half the weight of an ordinary
car of the same size, it rides on a
single truck and is propelled by a
straight drive. 1t is equipped with
21O cells arranged under the seats
on both sides. Of these cells 200
are for propulsion and 10 for light
ing, with a total force of 80 horse
power.
Edison estimates that the cost OF
driving the new car will be l cent
a mile. If the test to-day satisfies
the experts, the problem of cables
and overhead wires will be solved
for city traction companies, as the
new car generates its own power.
Mr.. Edison believes that the
storage battery will revolutionize
automobile as well as street car
traffic. Not electric machines only
will profit by it, for the apparatus
should'supplant gasoline motors as
well.

HUNTING TURTLE EGGS.

The hunting of turtle eggs along
the beach on the east coast of Flor
ida during the laying season is an
occupation highly enjoyed by those
who participate in it. The hunting
is done on moonlight nights when
the enormous sea turtles can be
seen crawling up from the ocean
along the white sands. The hunt
ers coming upon the reptile laying
the eggs do not disturb them at all,
and one will continue laying until
she has deposited her 200 or 300
eggs in the whole in the sand which
she has excavated with her fiippers,
the hunters meanwhile sitting down
laughing and smoking, waiting for
the performance to be over, when
the sport of riding the turtle is IN
dulged in, as turtles have been
found on the beach that are capa-
BILE of carrying three men at a time
on their backs. A true sportsman
will never rob a nest of all the eggs
there are in it. He will leave a
large number to hatch, and only
take a portion Of the eggs he finds
in the nest.
The eggs are generally discovered
by seeing the turtle go back to the
water, when the hunters follow the
trail and find where the nest has
been made and the eggs covered
over smoothly and evenly with
sand by the turtle. A peculiar
trait of young turtles when hatch
ed is that when they come out OF
the sand they start immediat ly for
the water in a straight line and are
not diverted by anything in their
path. They never 60 around a
shell, piece of seaweed or drift
wood, but climb over with their
heads pointed toward the water

MANUFACTURE OF
RUBBER IN TEXAS
Enormous Profits In the Business.
A Description Of the
Proceas

Enormous Profits in the Business.
A Description Of the
Process.
San Antonio, Texas, Oct. S.-Inter.
esting facts relative to the production
OF rubber In the trans-Pecos country
have been developed in the law suit
OF Otto Koehler, of this city, against
William H. Stayton, OF New York. the
latter being president OF the Texas
Rubber Company and the Big Ben
Manufacturing Company. These two
corporations are allies and do an i'm
mense business. The suit involves GER
tain contracts and the ownership of
stock representing several hundred
thousand dollars. in the proceedings
II was brought out that each ton OF
rubber manufactured and sold by
these concerns showed a clean profit
OF nearly thousand dollars.
The rubber is made from a shrub
called guayule. This plant Is a shrub
which grows about eighteen inches to
two feet In height with a spread OF
equal dimensions. The leaf is long,
narrow and light colored with veins
running TO the top OF It. Above are
numerous lesser stems that bloom and
bear seed. 1t fiourishes best at an
elevation OF 5000 to 5000 feet and is
found among the rocky hills and on
the plateaux OF the upper Rio Grande,
In Brewster and Pecos counties.
The plant is gathered by Mexican
laborers, who pull the shrub up. II
is baled in the field, like hay, and
hauled to the factories. Here, after
careful inspection, 1t is put into a
machine that grinds 1t into powder,
resembling sawdust. This powder is
then transferred to the pebble mill,
which is revolving drum containing
over hundred thousand pOca6s b.
flint pebbles about the size of an egg.
Water is added and he whole mass is
revolved for several hours. The
macerated pulp Is then transferred to
a large vat, where chemicals are
added and the water heated. The rub

like molasses. This is SKINNED of
and carried 10 the cleaning depart
ment, where all impurities are re-
moved. The rubber is then pressed
into sheets and cut in sizes. generally
six inches square by two feet long
The rubber is then busted with
soapstone and wrapped In cloth and,
packed in boxes. The shrub delivered
at the factory costs about s35 ton.
The factories run night and day. en-
ploying about two hundred men, most
ly Mexicans. The output OF the fac
tories varies according to the number
Of drums used
Some idea of the profit may be
gagged by the fact that In this suit
II is alleged that between the first
Of last November and the first OF May
the two plants mentioned above
cleared over 100000 from manufac-
tured rubber.

A passing engine on the Interna-

fire 10 the grass near the residence
of Mr.. and Mrs. A. Mckenzie this
morning, which came near doing great
damage. The tall grass on the west
side Of the house, made very dry by
the prolonged drouth, burnt very
quickly and destroyed all OF the roses

trees and grapevines. BY heroic eff
forts on the part OF the family the
fire was kept out OF a cedar hedge
that grew near the house and was
extinguished before further damage
was done.

EXPLANATION OFFERED
 FOR JOHNSTONE'S FALL

Denver, November 17.--Walter Brookins received a telegram from Will bur Wright tonight stating that he was leaving in company with Mrs. John stone for Kansas City, Johnstone's home. and instructing Brookins to have the body sent to that city at once.
 The message also requested him to call off the meet. providing the Dem yer officials consented. At a late hour tonight Brookins was in conference with the officials of the meet, trying to arrive at a conclusion.
 Mechanician T. l.. Eychstaedt of the Wright crew of experts advanced d theory for the accident that is ap- proved generally in the Wright camp. 1t is that Johnstone, after he realized that his machine had lost its balance attempted to- right it by using the emergency warping lever.
 In his anxiety for quick results, the mechanician theorizes, Johnstone jerlred the lever too sharply, snapping the warping wires. The collapse of the wing followed.
 Mechanician Eych staedt says there was nothing wrong with the machine when Johnstone took 1t out of the tent.

medical attention and other privileges not granted in the United States.
 "The reason given by the 100 men who have resigned is that the Presidents g promise to send his answer from Charles ton is not satisfactory. This action of the boilerrnakers will not interfere with the canal construction work, and will cause only temporary inconvenience until their places are filled, which will be with in a short time"
 The commission is not worried at the outlook. The salaried men are not af- fected. President Taft told the hourly employees who demanded 10 cents an hour increase and six weeks, instead of two weeks vacation with pay, that he thought more vacation than they were receiving was justified. The canal work CTS get all their living supplies at whole sale cost from the commissaries, and the commission claims that the cost of liv- ing here is only 15 per cent of the cost In the United States.
 President Taft spent the day inspecting the Pacific division locks. and he en- joyed a four-nile sail on the Pacific en- trance to the canal in a tug. He will make a stop of several hours at Guan- tanamo on Saturday afternoon to inspect the proposed naval base.
