Batteries Not Simple Things

Inc electric battery generates a sup
ply OF electricity by chemical action.
~ dlIters from the magnetic or dynamo,
which generates electricity from the
engine. When this chemical action
ceases the supply of electricity ceases
and the battery is worn out So far
as human eyes can see the battery is
just as good as it ever was. but it Will
not produce any current worthy of the
name, says the Electrical World.
All batteries consist of three essen
tials, the two metal plates and the
chemical solutions The plates are
called electrodes and the chemical is
the e1ectrolyte. Dry batteries are dry
in name only. If they were absolutely
dry they would not work at all The
only difference between a dry battery
and wet battery Is that in the former
the electrolyte is in the form of paste
and the latter is a solution
The action of all batteries are about
the same, regardless of kind. The
plates usually consist of zinc and con-
per, or zinc and carbon The chemical
may be diluted sulphuric acid, blue Wit
riol or a number of other chemicals
The chemical solution attacks and de-
stroys the zinc plate when the circuit
Is complete When the circuit is
broken the chemical action ceases, and
consequently no current flows. When the
circuit is completed the chemical imme-
diately attacks the metal plates IT eats
up, or burns up. the zinc plate. This ac-
lion produces energy. Some of the en-
ergy is wasted in heat, some Is changed
nto electrical energy, which flows out
over the wires to ignite the gasoline
charge in the engine or to do other use
ful work for mankind, such as ringing
the door bell, sending a telegram or car
rying speech over the telephone wires.
When either of these metal plates is
destroyed or the chemical has so changed
itself by combination with the metals
that 1t will no longer attack the plates.
the chemical action ceases. Therefore the
electricity ceases to flow out over the
wires.
Ordinary battery cells soon polarize and
cease to work This means that the
metal plates become covered with a film
of incubation material. such as hydrogen
gas, so the chemical action cannot take
place. This also stops the electric cur

Conduct New Store

Murray's Pharmacy, a new up-to-
date drug store will make its bow to
the people of Americas Monday morn
ing. 1t will be under the direct man
agement of DR.. Emmett L. Murray.
The new concern is located right
across from the postoffice in as pref
ty a place as is in the town.
The building has been completely
cverhauled and every fixture is new.
The customers of the store can be sure
that everything is absolutely sanitary.
DR.. Murray, who will be actively in
charge of the prescription department
is the Oldest graduate druggist in
Americas in the point of service. Back
IT, 1883 he entered the drug trade When
but a boy. He took his diploma at
the Philadelphia School of Pharmacy.
During his school days he was com
PEELED to work at nights to pay for
his education.
The new pharmacy will make a
speciality of prescription work and Dr..
Murray will secure an expert to as
sist him. The stock of drugs on the
shelves is absolutely fresh and as
DR.. Murray has made arrangements to
secure his drugs directly from the
manufacturer, customers of this con
Germ will know that they are getting
the best the market affords at all
times.
Fresh cut flowers can be ordered
through the pharmacy from the Idle
