THE CINEPHONOGRAPH.

Mr. Edison said his electric accumulator applicable to motorcars, railways, and ships, was perfect. By substituting nickelled steel coring for lead, and solution of potash in place of sulphuric acid, the battery and motor were no heavier than petrol engines and storage tanks, while the cost of running was reduced. Applied to cars now running in America the cost would average Is per 100 miles.

He was most enthusiastic over his cinephouograph. Within a short time his factories Avould supply the world's theatres with films and pictures, and talking would go on simultaneously. He was prophetic as to Avhat the future has in store in the way of new inventions.

"What do I think will be the next big invention? Well, that is a tall order, but I guess it will be something in tho Avar line, not to abolish Avar, but to make it even more terrible, Avhich may have the same effect in the end."

Although he could not say anything about itsTletails, he said he had "something new" which he thought would interest people. With him has come over his sou Charles, aged 14, and both are meeting Mrs. Edison, who is already in England, and- together, they will fcQWr tfei'oush England. gsd."Wales.
