Show TIIE ELECTRIC LIGHT. Edison, Vary and .11 iss Hosuicr lime Used it. New York, 14. Edison, mtiug confidently in the conviction that his jeubdivision of the electric light ia an .accomplished fact, ia experimenting i to obtain a belter generating machine, j He has more than doubled the cipa-j cipa-j city of any generators previously kuowu. He claims that he can ; already get tnoro than six lights per ; horse puwer; that a lOO-borae power engine and proper generators would cost 5,0u0, and that the light would I not cost more than one eighth of gas at the present New i'ork prices. Wesley W. Gary, of Boston, whose 'electric motor has recently attracted J attention, also claims to have- eolved t all the difficulties in the way of a general uso of the electrio light. He makes no secret of his d is -.coveries or inventions. His lateBt ' claim ia that he baa successfully , applied his iron electrio motor to tiie ! production of the necessary power fir generating electricity lor lighting purposes. The principle on which bis motor is based ia claimed to be ! the discovery ot the existence of the I neutral line at the point in the .magnetic field where ita polarity .changes. This principle is antagonistic antagon-istic to the heretofore accepted : theory that magnetism is a Btatic ' force. Gary claims that he genorates electiicity at absolutely no expense, save the machine itself. Miss Hosmer, writing privately to friend, flatly denies Chapman's olaim to a Bhare in the invention of hor new motor, which also ia said to j ptoduce power at little or no cost. |
