About a New Dry Battery That Would Revolutionize Electrical Science. ‘Budapect, Hunga: ‘May 19.—Dr. Alexander Just, the eminent Budapest who recently announced the discovery of a new dry battery that would revolu- tionize electrical science, now sorrow- fully confesses that he has been dup- ed by a revengeful employe. Announcement of the discovery of the nmew cell was made early last month and received widespread notice in the scientific world because Dr, Just occupies such 3 commanding po- sition among the electrical scientist of Burope. He was the inventor of the Wolfram lamp, and one of the ploneers in other notable electrical work as well as in_chemistry. The announcement was that the new cell was made of iron and carbon elec- trodes, whose electrolyte was compos- ed of an organic substance which re- newed its vigor from the oxyegen of the air in a short time—a device tha mp to full brilliancy. Dr. Just wa much impressed with this and two holes dug in his garden, In hi: electrodes of iron and carbon, re spectively, enrrent was produced ciant to light a number of lamps. Next. the experiments ~were ne experts who, interest. timately to the intense dismay of that a large number of dry then, doctor lamos. earthed. examined and found to have a falsc cells of the same type. Asked how it was that he had al- loweq himself 1o be so deceived. Dr. t replied that he had believed in the cell as he had experimented with similar arangements of carbon anc iron electrodes in a mass of coal dust registered pressure up to fiv *h_an utter collapse of an elec- discovery by a scientist of the rank and world-fame of Dr. Just ° almost unparalleled. The European scientific world is amazed at the doc tor's dull ability, and the Vienna fie nancial syndicate iz dissolved. Inquiring to Know.

Besides this vast quantity, several million pairs had been made for the home defense forces of the British Isles. Last month another order for 3,000, 000 pairs was ziven in England by the Russian government, and contracts for Portugal, the latest entente ally, and other friends of the western powers are coming in daily. According to the director of the army clothing department, the resources of the British hoe trade are being em- ployed almost to the utmost capacity, but the products of the factories are at the same time giving general satis faction. Shoe manufacturers engaged on the contracts explained to The Associated Press that the official control exercised over the delivered shoes ensured full value being given for the money spent by the various governments. Nothing but the best leather may be used and the workmanship must be unimpeach- able, while vouchers detalling the ac- tual cost of the materials must be kept at each factory, in order that the man- ufacturer. may be kept within the bounds of a fair profit on his con- tracts. The shoes supplied for_the British troops vary in size from No. § to No. 12, while many different shapes are provided, according to the service for ch they are required. The ordinary infantry laced blucher is naturally th most in demand, but tens of thousands of Wellington hizh boots for cavalry and artillery also have been called for. | of a regulation infantry laced shoe and to_complete its manufacture 68 pro- cesses are necessary. Manufacturers here confess that to the United States belongs the. credi’. unwillingly, it is true, of making it possible for the British trade to meet the great calls on its resources. ' Just 20 years ago there was an Amerfcan invasion Into the ghoe trade of Britain and the competition was at once so successful that British manufacturers were compelled in their own defense to adept the new -American ideas or go out of business altogether. The Brit- ish shoemakers quickly abandoned their conservative methods, introduced American machinery and system and scon virtually drove the American in- vaders out of the market. At the present moment the trade is so busily engaged on military work that the private customer has to suf- fer and the prices of shoes for civilans has been advanced at least 30 per cent. since hostilities began. — As Demonstrators. “Uncle Sam {is taking up the qoes- tion of needf: rel m as a factor in efficienéy,” says the - Washington Star.
