It is now admitted by 'electrical experts that all that Mr. Edison has said about the economical ad-.i vantages of his storage battery is u, te. Prof. Serviss, a 'practical - ientist, has made a careful st dy of the' new invention and in dorses the opinion of the iniventor that' it will do away with the trol ly, the locomotive and the 'horse. *This may appear to be an extrava gacnt daiLm, but as the Philadel " phia Record remarks it is not more - incredible than the announcement of the discovery of the incansdes cent lamp was to certain electri cians who stubbornly contended that it was impossible to produce p n electric lighlt of less than 200 candle power. According to a description 'of the' e* discovery, which the Ee Scord publishes, the main feature of Edison's storage battery and the one that is the most original, is a superoxide 'of nickel. This, s, it is said, forms the positive pole, and it operates in such a manner as to overcome all defects whidh prevented the success of 'former storage battery systems. Briefly, -. the advantages of the new cell are - found to'be: "The absence of de er, terioration by work; large 'storage capacity with light weight; caps bility of being rapidly charged and discharged and of witsitand ing careless treatment; and, final ly, cheapnees. It is confidently affirmed that not only shal 'e have no trolleys, 'looomotives or lx horses in the future, but no more pulffing steam auto-iragons no more noisy gas engines and 'no mdre costly subways. Everything that moves on wheels wilt be di-' veh'by stored electricity." In many instances attaeki of cholera. morbos terminate fatally before medi clne oakh be procured or aiphysktla summoned.
