Among the fourteen cities Jn which
Ridgways Weekly is published is
Oakland, Cal., the mechanical work of
the San Francisco edition being exe
cuted in Oakland. President Tracy,
of No. 21, has the following to say
of the management of the San Fran
cisco edition of Ridgway's:
"The Ridgway publication, whjich
bears a San Francisco date line, is
printed in the jurisdiction of Oakland
union, just across the bay, owing, I
presume, to the more or less chaotic
and demoralized condition existing
here. All of the work is being done
under absolutely fair conditions, how
ever, and we of San Francisco are en
tirely satisfied with the arrangement.
As an instance of the good feeling
that prevails between the men em
ployed on the magazine and its man
agement, I will recite briefly what
occurred on the Friday night preced
ing tire first issue. The men were
held on duty for several hours over
time and every one pulled out and
worked faithfully in order that the
management might keep its promise
to place . the first issue on the street
at schedule time Saturday. The man

done by the men, not only paid them

overtime rate, but in addition,
presented each man with a $20 gold
piece as a bonus, so that the day's
work for the men employed amounted
to quite $30 each. This may sound
like a fairy tale to some of our east
ern cousins, but it's gospel truth."

WIZARD EDISON INVENTS WON
DERFUL STORAGE BATTERY.
Automobiles to Be Run at Trifling

Essential to Success of
Great Discovery.
New York. Thomas A. Kdison has
accomplished a surprise for the world.
He has worked out successfully the
problem of cheap power. He promises
to put on the market within six
months a new storage battery which
will enable every man to travel in his
own private carriage at about the
cost of car fare. . Without danger,
without breakdowns, without cost, al-'
most, a carriage, once supplied with
the new power for $200, will travel
without repairs for 15 years, for 100,-
000 miles if necessary, says the wizard.
Mr. Edison reiterates the declara
tion that he has invented a storage
battery which will solve the problem
of congested traffic in the big cities
of the world as soon as he can manu
facture enough of the batteries. He
is erecting two large factory build
ings, now nearly completed, and is in
stalling in them new machinery espe
cially for the manufacture of the mo
tor battery.
"In 15 years from now the horse
will be a curiosity; we shall bo pay
ins 50 cents to look at him In side
shows," said Mr. Edison to an Inter
viewer. "Last year you were sure that you
had solved this problem?" he was re
minded. "Yes, last year I was sure," replied
Mr. Edison, "but now I am dead sure.
There is a difference between the two.
It's one thing, for instance, to be sure,
and another thing to be Wall street
sure."
For three years 25,000 storage bat
teries have been constantly at work
in the testshops of the Edison plant
at Orange, N. J.
"I never believed that nature, so
prolific of resources, could provide
only lead ' as a material ingredient of
the battery," said Mr. Edison. "I have
always found her ready for any emer
gency, and based on this confidence
that she has never betrayed, I com
muned diligently with her.- One day
1 discovered that nickel rust was as
good as lead. Then I thought I had
accomplished the task."
But he hadn't, to the satisfaction of
his commercial instinct. The ques
tion of the weight of the battery was
most important as was that of its
durability.
Nickel rust failed, other things
failed, everything the ingenious Edi
son, with his trained, scientific mind,
could conceive failed.
"Then I tried cobalt," he said, and
SHOGUN AND THE MIKADO.
Former Was the Military Chieftain
of the Japanese.
In name, and in name alone, the
shotgun was the military chieftain.
Master of all the three hundred clans
of the feudal nippon, the shogun was
in fact at the head of the administra
tion, says a Japanese writer in the
Forum. The army was his, and Into
his treasury flowed ' the revenues of
the entire empire. In foreign affairs
also his was the master scepter. ' Nat
urally, you would ask: If the actual
powers of the state, both military and
civil, were in the hands of the sho
gun, for what fanciful and amiable
reason should he take the trouble of
maintaining the fiction of the imper
ial court at Kioto? What unheard-of
modesty prevented him from . ascend
ing himself the throne of the emperor?
The reason of it all was this: His
majesty, the emporer, having turned
over the power of temporal govern
ment into the hands of ha shogun,

punctuated the statement with a broad

"And it worked?"
"It certainly did, but cobalt, being
one of the rare metals, the problem
was not solved. I scoured the coun
try to find cobalt in sufficient quanti
ties to warrant its use, and discovered
lots of it in Canada, in Wisconsin, in
Oregon and in Kentucky. Then I
knew that I was all right."
"What are you working at now in
connection with this phase of the dis
covery?" "One of the most "difficult problems
in metallurgy is to separate cobalt
from the ores with which it is asso
ciated. At present it is done only at
great expense, and so for the last
few months we have been devising a

plan of getting cobalt out of the ore
cheaply within' a ratio of cost already
calculated for the price of each cell."
"And you have succeeded?"
"Completely. I can positively prom
ise that the new battery will be on
the market in the spring. The factory
buildings are ready and the machin
ery is being installed."
"But there may be some surprise
that nature is holding back that will
interfere?"
"Absolutely none, I haven't kept
25,000 batteries, working for three
years without discounting all chances
of failure." .
The actual cost of recharging the
new battery is a matter of a few cents
per cell, the greatest' achievement be
ing in making it light in weight, in
compact shape and above all, durable.
The new storage .battery is not de
