One side of Steinmetz’s face was badly swollen as the result of a trifling illfiess aboard ship and the immigration authorities at Bilis Island refused at first to allow him to enter the country. He was sent to the “detention pen” and was only released by the eloquence and persuasion of his American com- panion. A few years later he be- came a naturalized citizen. At the time of his death Dr. Stein metz was regarded not only as one of the foremost authorities on elec- trical engineering but one of the greatest mathematicians in the world. Strangely enough, one of his greatest difficulties as a child was in learning the multiplication table. Born ifn the city of Breslau, Ger- many, on Aprfl 9, 1865, and educated famous university young early became interested n at a time when vig at its Steinme in socia ous steps were being taken against it by the government. An issue of a socialist publication In which the students were interested and in which Steinmetz had several articles, was confiscated, the publication sus: pended and the editors arrested and imprisoned. Steinmetz fled from Germany and found refuge with a friend, a clergyman, near the Austrian border. From there he went to Zurich. Two weeks after landing in tea, Steinmetz obtained empl in the manufacturing estat of Rudolph Eickemeyer at Amer. nent hment Yonke N. ¥., as a draftsman.

His ‘writings on electrical subjects began to attract attention, his discussion of the law of hysteresis eliciting much interest on the part of elec trical engineers. In 1392, the General Electric com- pany bought the electrical manufac- turing business of the Eickemeyer company except the making cf motors for elevators, which the Otis company took over to its own plant, and Steinmetz went to the Lynn, Mass., works of the General Electric company. In January, 1893, he was transferred to) the Schenectady works, and has since that time made Schenectady his home. In 1912, he @as appointed president of the board of education of Schenectady, and in 1915, was elected president of the common council of that city on the Socialist ticket. He never married. ‘Dr. Steinmetz served for many terms as the president of national and international societies connect ed with the electrical industry.
