Detroit Electric Is Gaining

Percy 8. Foster, the commercial
manager Of Sterrett and Fleming,

he sees Detroit Electrics skimming
along the streets of Washington in
the near future. even as they do
in Detroit and Cleveland. And that
means that they have got practically
to float around in caravans.

REyIVING BATTERIES.

Permanently reviving q dry battery
after It has become exhausted, is i'm
possible, but It IL possible to revive
It temporarily and q knowledge Of
the method OF doing this may some-
times prove extremely useful. Make
a solution Of four ounces Of salam-
moniac, added to a quart Of warm
water. with q half ounce Of per-
manganate Of potash. Next bore holes
about an eighth OF an inch In diame-
ter all over the zinc casing Of the
cell and soak the battery in the solu-
ton for three or four days. The out
put will show a marked increase,
which will continue for some little
time. Even better results may be OBJ
tanned by charging the battery for
a few hours. just as II 1t were a
storage battery at a current rate of
one ampere through n lamp. The
positive Of the charging element
should be connected with the carbon

 Katherine had saved me from terri

 sure that my life itself hadn't been
 in danger when she had discharged
 it into tho maddened face of Mrs. Allis. I could not repress a little shiver as J saw it, but at the look of
 disappointment which flashed into Iillian's face. and which l think she meant mo to see, braced my tremb- ling nerves and resolutely reached out
 my hand to Katherine for it. .I'II Not Fail You'' It's rather simple, isn't it?'' l said with as nonchalant an air as l could l manage, and that was rewarded by the 1 approval in Lillian's eyes. 'Absurdly so," Katherine returned, l and then for the next two or three
