EDISON’S NEW STORAGE BATTERY.
Mr Edison’s long promised new .storage battery, ’ with the details of which he has been occupied for some time, • is, says the New York correspondent of “Tho Times,” about to be practically demonstrated. For a long time the inventor has been engaged in perfecting such a device for automobiles, and this has been the subject of frequent premature announcements in the Press. The new battery, however, is for use on street car systems. He is satisfied a car will run a whole day without re-, charging. He expressed' the opinion, that the use of the new battery would revolutionise surface car traffic. He predicts that street ear lines will employ none but Cars equipped with the new batteries when he has demonstrated their commercial value: the tracks will be without either overhead or underground wires, or rails for the transmission of current, and comparatively cheap stations will only be -necessary where the storage batteries may be charged after they have exhausted their store of current.
