Again that Storage Battery.

Thomas A. Edison that

would revolutionize the street traction

Twenty-ninth streets, Manhattan, he.
said: Il have one far better thar that
now. and nothing has come out about
it. | have perfected q battery which
can be recharged in three or four min
utes and which will run so or so miles
without being %recharged. The trouble
with the first battery was that the re-
charging took "A long time. When
charged. a a would run all day. but
then it took the better part of the night
to recharge it and get it ready for the
next day. But l have done away with
all thai. I have now a battery which
small and light, and it can run a car
truck, automobile. or vehicle of any
kind until the power is used up, and
then recharged in less than three min
utes, ready for service as before"
I suppose said the interviewer,
that one of these new batteries could
be used to Lake a street car over the
line once or twice and then run through.

'"Tha is 1t exactly" replied Mr.. Ed

be small r%echarging stations along the
line. where batteries might be re-
charged as much as they needed in u
minute or less. The beauty OF this bat
terry is that the power can be put into

Teaching Chickens Not to Scratch.
From fhe NaM XorL XIronia

Every one that has or has had a

ably we have all forgotten that
~ Years Sanford j. Baker, of Wat
srville, Me, invented a very ingenious
device to prevent chickens from
scratching up the garden. The inyen-
ton was patented but like many other
curious inventions. it is doubtful
whether anything was ever done to.

consisted of a piece Of spring wire bent
double. with a clamp at the bend. This
was secured to the chickens leg. leay.
Ing the two ends of the wire extend.
Ing for some distance backward and
slightly downward. Not only would
this hinder the hen from scratching
but the spring arms would force hsr
forward at each scratch, and If tho

vice would compel her to walk ont ~

Eat Onions and Olive oiI-and Why
From the New York World.

Since DIR. Frederick A. Kraft, the
socialist health commissioner of Mil
waukec. made his recent announcement
that eating onions and olive oil is pre-
venttve of scarlet fever and diphtheria.
he has been testing the merits Of his
theory SO successfully that the oil and
onion cure is attracting widespread at
tention mons medical men.
Health Commissioners Kraft has in
vestigated every recent case of scar
let fever and diphtheria that he could
reach and he has found that in no fam.
lily where a case of either disease broke
out were onions or olive oil used. He
calls attention to the fact hat dis
tricts where onions are largely used
are free of scarlet fever and diphtheria
Consequently he urged people every
where to overcome Whatever dislike
they may have to the much malisned
onion and to eat 1t freely. You can
slice It and boil it in olive oil. You
can eat 1t raw with u little olive oil
poured over it. The addition of olive
oil he considers important and the best
way of all IL to eat q raw onion with
olive oil at night Immediately before
retiring.
