.PACINoTT' NO PusHER
ITALIAN INVENTED A DYNAMO
WITH RING IMMATURE.
But He Let the Discovery slumber,
and Seven Years Later 1t Was De-
veIoped by Gramme, the hus-
a-.,a thing Belgian. b,

At a moment when an admiring
world echoes with the achievements OF
one Italian electrical inventor. there
passes from the earth In deepest OBJ
scurity another Italian to whom the
arts and sciences are also under obli-
cation, and the contrast Is dramatic,
the Scientific American remarks. In
cidentally, 1t may be noted that the
country of Volta by some curious proc
ess OF heredity or continuance always
holds her own in the industry to which
Volta gave birth, but only the student
knows that alongside the cleaning
name of Marcont may also be set those
Of Pacinotti and Ferraris.
Az far back as 1864 the gentle 1tal-
ian physician Pacinotti introduced tim
idly to public notice small electro
magnetic machine. with toothed ring
aTmAture, which. he pointed out with
prophetic instinct, was available both
40 a motor and az 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
doubt he was entitled to the credit OF
the discovery, although he lacked the
essential driving power to turn 1t into
device useful to mankind.
There perhaps lies the lesson OF his
career. We need physical discoveries
and reverse those who seek the truth
for fts own sake. But mankind with
keen instinct saves its 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 It's 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
lnets, just where many things the
world is waiting for linger now. The
fact that Y. Pacinotti so little realized
what he had Gone 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. II
be did anything significant there tho
records Of our time fail to show it,
but meanwhile the glorious torrent
Of electrical invention has swept on
ESQ fast and so far to many people
even this bold recognition Of the ami
able doctors genius may seem bit
superduous. ~

Hicks, when the count was complete:

his terrors swept over him and left
him with q savage sense OF triumph.
This passed; he sprang up, intending
to recall Hicks and unmake his bar

safety lay. only In flight! Before he
reached the door his greed was In the
ascendant. He dropped down on the
edge OF his bed, his eyes fixed on the
window. The sun sank lower. From
where he sat he saw 1t through the
upper half of the sash, blood.red and
livid in mist of heecy clouds.
It was in the tops Of the old oaks
now, which sent their shadows into
his room. Again maddened by his
terrors. he started and backed toward
the door; but again his greed, the
one dominating influence OF his life.
vanQuished him.
He watched the sun sink. He
watched the red splendor fade over
the river; he saw the first stars ap-
pear. He told himself that Hicks
would soon be gone--if the fire was
not to be lighted he must act at
once! He stole to the window. It
was dusk now, yet he could distin-
guish the distant wooded boundaries
OF the great fields framed by the dark
ening sky. Then in the silence ne
