"2 STEINMETZ IS DEAD OF PHYSICAL COLLAPSE (Continued from First Page.) {mmigration authorities at Ellis Island refused at first to allow him to enter the country. He was sent to the “detention pen,” and was only released by the clogquence and per- suasion of his American companion. A few vears later he became a nat- uralized citizen, At the time of his death Dr. Stein- metz was regarded not only as one of the foremost authorities on electri- cal engineering, but one of the great- ast mathematicians In the world. Strangely enough, one of his greatest difficulties as a child was in learning the multiplication table. Interest in Soclalism. Born in the city Breslau, many, on April 9, 18 Y., as a draftsman. | company was making a few electric | motors ‘and generators and had just nd_educated | were interested and in which Stein- metz had several articles, was con- fiscated, the publication suspended and the editors arrested and imprisonec. Steinmetz fled from Germany an found refuge with a friend, a clergy- man, near the Austrian border. From there he went to Zurich. Two weeks after landing in Amer- ica Steinmetz obtalned employment in the manufacturing establishment of Rudolph Eickemeyer at Yonkers, N. At that time the taken up work on the problems of the electric_street car jointly with Stephen D. Fleld. All the designs-for the experiments with the electric cars passed through his hands. Quarters for the laboratory were obtained and he began to specialize on magnetic | testing. Hls writings on electrical Subjects began to attract attention, his discussion of the law of hysteresis | eliciting much interest on the part of | electrical engineers. Made Schenectady Home. d | and | 1 (1909), FRIDAY, "OCTOBER 26, 1925.: THE FEVENING STAR, WASHINGTON, D. C, and Steinmetz went to the Lynm, Mass., works of the General Electric Company. In Janu; 898, ho was transferred to tne nectady werks, since that time made Sche- nectady his home. In 1912, he was appointed president of the board of education of Schenectady, and in 1915 was elected president of the common council of that city on the soclalist ticket. He never married. Dr. Steinmetz served for many terms as the president of national and international societies connected with the electrical industry. Harvard hon- ored him with the degree of master of arts and Union College made him a doctor of philosophy. Since 1813 he had served Union "College as pro- fessor of electrical enginecring and electrophysics. Books written by him Include the following: “Theory and Calculation of Alternating Current Phenomena’ (1897), “Theoretical Elements of Electrical Engineering” _ (1901), “Theory and Calculation of Transient Electric Phenomena and Oscillations” “General Lectures on Elec- | culation of Electrical Circuits” (1917), “Theory and Calculation of Electrical Apparatus” (1917). He also wrote numerous papers on mathematical and electrical engineering subjects. Scientist’s Special Field. Dr. Steinmetz’s special fleld, In which he was most expert, Included mugnetics, symbolic method of alter- nating current calculations and tran- slent phenomena. A recent feat which attracted atten- tion to the work of the electrical wizard was the production of an arti- ficial indoor thunderstorm, including a bolt of lightning. The thunderstorm which Dr. Steinmetz both produced and controlled had all the character- istics of its natural brother except the thunder clouds. At a demonstration of the Stein- metz “lightning generator” In the laboratory of the General Electric Company In March, 1922, the familiar forked tongues flashed through the alr with a deafening crash, splinter- ing a large block of wood, hurling the fragments twenty-five feet and “In our lightning generator,” Dr. Steinmetz explained, “we get a dis- charge of 10,000 amperes at over 100,000 volts, lasting for one hundred thousandth part of a second. This gives us the explosive, tearing and shattering effect of real lightning, so that a piece of small tree exposed to the discharge is mechanically torn to pieces. A plece of wire struck by the flash vanished in dust. “The difference between lightning energy and ordinary electric current is similar to that between a pound of dynamite and a pint of gasoline. The pint of gasoline contains more energy and can do more work, but it gives off its energy_slowly, while the dyna- miae gives off its energy explosively power.” Dr. Steinmetz took a keen personal Interest in soclalism and In the work 2broad of socialistic economists. Last year he was a candidate on the so- cialist party ticket for the office of state engineer and surveyor, and al- 0 hundred thousandth part of a second. | all at once at an enormous rate of f vide heat, light and power for the state. In April, 1922, Dr. Steinmetz made public a letter to Lenin, chief of state of soviet Russia, offering his services for technical advice to that country. | In January of this year he accepted a post as member of the advisory committee of the Kuzbas colony In Stberia.
