PACINOTli 10 PUSHER
ITALIAN INVENTED A DYNAMO
WITH RING IMMATURE.
But He Let the Discovery Siumbes,
and Seven Years Later II Was Do
veIoped by Gramme, the Hus
thing Belgian.

At a moment when AZ admirine
world echoes with the achievements Of
one Italian electrical inventor. there
passes from the earth in deepest OBJ
security another Italian to whom tn
arts and sciences are also under obi
cation, and the contrast Is dramatic,
the Scientific American remarks. In
cidentally, 1t may be noted that tn
country Of Volta by some curious proc
ess Of heredity or continuance Away,
holds her own in the industry to which
Volta gave birth. but only the student
knows that alongside the cleaning
name of Marconi may also be set those
Of Pacinotti and Ferraris.
AS far back as 1854 the gentle Ital-
ian physician Pacinotti introduced tim
idly to public notice a small electro
magnetic machine, with toothed ring
armature, which. he pointed out with
prophetic instinct. was available both
as a motor and as a generator. And
then nothing happened! But when
the celebrated Gramme dynamo with
its ring armature arrested universal
attention. seven years later. the unob-
trusive professor dug up his treatise
and his machine and showed beyond a
doubt he was entitled to the credit o:
the discovery, although he lacked the
essential driving power to turn it into
q device useful to mankind.
There perhaps lies the lesson Of his
career. We need physical discoveries
and reverse those who seek the truth
for it, own sake. But mankind with
keen instinct saves ito warmest &C.
claim for those who also make discov-
cries Of some avail in adding to the
length Of life. its Joy, its possibilities
and its conveniences.
Had not the hustling Belgian.
Gramme. come along with his famous
dynamo and sanguine French hackers.
Pacinotti would have let his model
slumber forever In museums and cab
inets, just where many things the
world is waiting TOR linger now. The
fact that Y. Pacinotti 80 little realized
what he had done and what his really
great inventive ability meant, is
shown by the curious fact that the
work and the studies Of his later years
we're devoted to vine culture. If
he did anything significant there the
records Of u time fail to show It,
but meanwhile the glorious torrent
of electrical invention has swept on
80 fast and SO far to many people
even this bold recognition OF the ami.
able doctors genius may seem . bit
superfuous.

portrait OF Hatfield. the Taft supper

so that it was noticed BY the Bull
Moosers in the audience.
One of them quietly took down the
portrait OF the Taft candidate for Gov
ernor and removed it from the theatre
where the speech was being made.
and Mr.. Heney never referred to the
candidacy OF DR.. Hatfield in any way.
He made it apparent, however by his
scowl and his manner, that he had no
use for the Taft supporter whom w.
