The American Federation also disap-

means that. while the force of water

Thus connecting electric batteries In

The great difference between stor

the storage battery, the electricity is
made BY q combining Of various chemi-
cal elements which are In the solution,
and the advantage Ia that when these
elements are all combined and there is
no more electricity to be made. we Gun
introduce q charge Ut electricity from
nm outside source into the solution. and
this breaks the elements IN agaln into
their original form until. when the bat
tery II fully charged. all the elements
are prepared, when called upon. to start
combining oil over again. and thus make
more electricity.
The usual storage battery has force
or power Of six volts. and the different
sizes are rated in ''ampere. hours
that 10, the number Of hours for which
the battery will deliver n steady cur
rent with the quantity Of one ampere.
DRY cells, which are OF about thirty
ampere capacity, will really not deliver
an ampere for thirty hours on a steady
dow. They are built for frequent peri
ods Of short service and, once they are
discharged. they cannot be recharged.

steady lighting Of our audion bulb.
Tho "B" battery is simply collec-
tion Of small dry cells usually all
mounted into a block of some insulnt-
ing material. They are connected to
the part Of the audicn bulb known as

plate, while requiring high voltage re-
quires very little ampcragc---in fact,
only about one -fftictli Of an ampere.
