ccratic faith are none too enthus-
iastic in their endorsement OF the
Cox speech in its entirety.
The Republican papers and a
good majority of the Democratic
editors, universally interpreted the
address as meaning the throwing
CT Governor Cox's hat into the
ring, in anticipation OF the next

They consist Of nickel-plated steel
srids The positive plates have
round tubes which contain a nickel
oxide as the active material The
negative plates have thin rectangu-
lar pockets. hyd raulically pressed.
perforated and corrugated, contain
ing iron In a very finely divided
state.
The electrolyte for these batteries
is a q per cent solution of potassium
hydrate mixed with a small amount
Of uthium hydrate. The cells are
contained in a steel can, which is
electrically welded together. They
are connected 20 form a battery by
means OF copper connectors.
How IL Works.
During the charge Of the battery
the oxygen is transferred from the
iron 20 The nickel electrodes During
the discharge the oxygen is re-
turned
IN the case Of the lead cell one
uses a hydrometer to measure the
specific gravity Of the fiuid. But the
specific gravity Of the eleetrolyte in
the nickel-iron cell never changes
Therefore the only way 70 measure
it's state or charge is by using an
ampere-hour meter.
This type OF battery - very dur
able and will stand a considerable
strain. The full charge OF such a
battery IS usually IL volts per cell.
It should be recharged when the
voltage drops below o per cell.
The charge voltage Of a lead cell
is EOS volts. It should never be dis
charged below los volts.
