Show ELECTBICITT FyT Startling Promlae. M,de of Com from New IJW,110"Ut For fifty years electricians hav.w trying to discover a method atJZr tag heat directly into elecftv recently no results of commercial . ?" have been obtained. Such seems now to tavebeendiswverfid!!1104 ventMby ayoungman fromsSf B. Cox. If Mr. Cox's claims 8re il1 and capitalists have confidence , la them to have formed a comna a capital of $l,000,00()4MokM tem of power and lighting will vT J?1-Unionized J?1-Unionized and steam willbe too expensive for ordinary uses u impossible to estimate in advanc. n immense value of Mr. Cox's inv,K but it is certain that he expects at incredible: results fromit, and that h2 inspired with his confidence some of ? shrewdest business men of Hartford m Boston. Am has been said, a company has W organized and incorporated in MaiiT where Mr. Cox was when some HarS men met him. Since then the busuZ hfw,ifenr0Ugilt to XtMort.Z all that has been done since has W done at the factory of the Pratt & Cad, company. The capital stock is ooo 000, and none of it is now for sale.' the patents asked for by Mr. CoX been allowed, and they will be issued! a few days. Both foreign and domesfo patents have been applied for. The apparatus used for converting the heat into electricity is so simple thatths company does not dignify it by the nam. of machine. By Mr. Cox's method het is changed to electricity as simply u water is changed to steam. HisfarnaM is ail that may be seen. From glowia. coal comes the subtle current, without the aid of boiler, engine, or dynamo, i jet of gas can be made to run a dental machine, a sewing machine and anything any-thing which requires no more power thu these. No power has ever been discov-ered discov-ered that is half so cheap as will electricity obtained by thia new proc This has been the dream apparent!; impossible of realization of all eleis tricians, and even the wizard of Msnlo Park has almost despaired of its ever being brought about. Yet a young nun, only 28 years of age, seems to have solved the puzzling problem. Before the company was formed Mr. Cox had a furnace at home by which hi ran many electrio lights. This furnace was injured in being transferred to Hartford, Hart-ford, and a new one of the same size ii being made. Experiments and private exhibitions have been conducted hereon a smaller scale, bat the company intends to show to the world that with the power thus obtained anything that steam or electricity now does may be done. Several Sev-eral members of the company saw what could be done with the furnace of Mr, Cox before any attempt was made to remove it. The one now being built will be an improvement on the old one, and the results from it are expected to bs correspondingly better. Most of the stock of the company ii owned in Hartford. Some of it is held in Boston. The whole affair has been kept secret until the company should bf ready to make it public Hartford Courant. .. . |
