The “ Daily Al.ail ” states it the i laims are .substantiated lor a new patent which tin* -Government is closely investigating, all present ideas about the manufacture, distribution and employment of electricity may become obsolete. The inventor. William Harrison, of El. Helen’s, contends lie has established, contrary to all previous theories, that electricity can he amplified. This means that Ids apparatus, for a. trifling cost, will convert a small qua-utity of low-power electricity into a relatively unlimited supply ot current at a high voltage, which, as the "Daily Mail ” points out, is tantamount to perpetual motion in an electrical sense. Jl is stated an average size villa has been illuminated over a period ol months from a small accumulator, the size of'an ordinary wireless low tension battery attached to Harrison’s apparatus.

For the existing electrical installations, Harrison’s machine when plugged into the socket nearest the lampholder will light half a dozen hundred watt and two hundred volt lamps for the cost of the original one.
