EDISON INSTALIS
 SAFETY BATTERIES
 ON U. s. \. SUBS

2 New York. Aug. 25.The instana- ton of the new nickel batteries in vented by Thomas Edison by which it is hoped to prevent the escape of chlorine gas in submarines was in progress today on board the submar- inc K-1, at the New York navy yard. The battries were being fplaced in position by an agent of MT. Edison who was carefully guarded by em- pIoyes of the yard.
 Chlorine gas is one of the greatest danger of undersea boats, and many officers familiar with them believe that it caused the loss of the F-4 at Honolulu several months ago. The nickel batteries were. designed by MT. Edison to save the crews of the sub marines from suffocation by gas, and if the batteries are effective as it is hoped, the United States navy will possess the first underwater craft in which the danger of chlorine is elf- minated.
 It will require about two weeks to install the batteries after which the submarines will be given a. trial first in a dock and then in the shar- bOr.

revolutionary In their character and

as did the locomotive or telegraph

Audion amplif1er, for example, makes
1t possible for a man in New York city
to deliver an address through the tele-
phone to large audience In San Fran
cisco, 5000 miles away. Through the
use of heat waves the intensity Of the
voice vibrations is increased to such an
extent that, although the orator may
deliver his address In low voice into
the telephone In New York, In San
Francisco 1t is possible to increase the
sound In volume sufficient to fill large
hall. On the other hand, the New York
speakers address may be distributed
through telephone receiving disks at
