NEW battery IS
GREAT INVENTION
INVENTION or T.. c. BRICE PROM
ISES TO REVOLUTIONIZE
ELECTRICAL WORLD.
Shown IN TULSA TODAY
Generate Electricity of All Kinds
From Combination of salt
and Water.

The electrical world is about to be
revolutlonized and Tulsa, Okla, is
going to play an important part In the
revolution, as the result of the inven-
ton of an electrical battery, general
ing electricity by chemical means by
L. C. Brice of Mansfield, Ark, and the
organization of the Modern Sales
| company in this city which will have
the exclusive sales right throughout
the United States of the new inven-
| ton.
Nine years ago. shortly after gradu-
sting from Heidelburg University,
Germany, Il. c. Brice began study
of electricity. He discovered that ma
ture generated electricity by chemical
and not mechanical means. and that
nature must derive this chemical
means from some ingredient found
on the earth's surface. Knowing that
three -fourths of the earth's surface
working on the theory that the In
gredient, salt, had much to do with
the generation of electricity by ma
tude.
Feared Discovery.
He started his experiments in New
York city. but as he began to grad
| ually approach the problem of how
to generate electricity from chemical
means he feared that some one might
discover his secret so he purchased a
place at Mansfield, Ark, where he
| has brought his wonderful invention
to perfection.
Magnitude OF Uses.
He has discovered a battery that
generates unlimited supply of cleo
tricity from combination of salt,
water and secret formula. The
most extensive tests have proved the
invaluable worth Of his battery. 1t
generates power that can be used in
lighting houset furnishing a more
| brilliant light and a whittier light than
ordinary electricity.
These batteries are now in use by
number of railroads in lighting the
cars. The batteries can be used for
any purpose that electricity can be
used. No shocks can be had from
the battery. II gives a whittier light
and a more even flow of light than
ordinary electricity. The battery has
20 negative and positive poles. When
the battery becomes short circuit, II
| is impossible to secure an ignition
and tests have been made by holding
piece of cotton soaked in gasoline
at the battery when short circuited.
A Small Cost.
BY these new batteries electricity
can be generated at a small fraction
of the cost OF generating Juice" at
the present time and no expert is
needed to operate 1t. 1t has been
pronounced by experts as the greatest
| electrical invention of the age. and Its
success has been instantaneous wher-
ever introduced.
Try Experiments Here.
Mr.. Brce. the inventor. will ar
rive in Tulsa this morning with a
complete outfit of batteries and will
| give free experiments of every kind
in Tulsa for the balance of the week.
starting at noon today and continued
day and evening until Saturday night.
His battery has elected wonderment
from all that have seen 1t.
Local Men Interested.
The Modern Sales company which
has secured contract from Mr..
Brice TO handle the exclusive sales Of
his batteries will in ali probability
have its Headquarters in Tulss. The
moving spirit In this stock company
are J. w. McRae and W. II. Crowder
of shawnee. John Garvin and w. d.
Bundy Of Muskogee and Carl C. Ma
gee of Tulsa. This company plans
To- open the sale of the batteries in
hort time.
