more than a third longer thun that of any present Rubmarlne, and will elimi¬ nate tho (laitgers to th(? crew of chlo¬ rine and suliihuric ucid gus poisoning.
.Mr. Edison und his staff aro now working on tho batteries for the uew submarine, the L-8, und It was an¬ nounced thut Mrs. .Tohn Eyre Sloiine, daughtor of TMr. and Mrs. Edison, had accepted tho invitation of Secretary of tho Navy Daniels to name the vessel. Tills is tlie only submarine which the governniont lias attempted to build in ono of Ils own yards.
An ug(;iif of ono of the powers at wnr had visited the Edison laboratories to nogotiatt" for liu; imrciiaso of u sujipiy of tlio new batteries. Since the war begun practically ali of tiio belllgoreuls huvo sought to e(niip submurinos wilii Edison liiitteries. liut the liivoiilor has refused to (ielivor any uutil they should havo proved timt tliey could stand ali of the most severe tests to which thoy could 1)0 suhjoctcd.
Mr. Edison lias been osporimentlng on submarine butterios since UtlO. One of the- Euroiiean powers now ut wur begun throo years ngo to attempt to obtain batleiies for Its submarines from llim. Mr. Hutchison said thnt tho inventor had begun work ou tho sub- mariue batteries for humanitarian rea¬ sons, hoplAg lo protect crews from tho risk of being killed by poLsonous gases. He added that aii navies wouid bc al¬ lowed to use the batteries for their sub¬ marines.
Bofore tbe I..-8 Is launched at Ports¬ mouth anoiher United States submn rhie will bo eriulppetl with the Edison batteries. This is the E-2, whose crew suffered severely from poisoning by chlorine gas whon thoir craft was sub¬ merged near Newport last summer. When the E-2 was laid up nfter that accident .It was decided to Install the Edison batteries, nnd the E-2 probably wlll returu to the water equipped with them in a few weeks.
"One of the greatest diffleultles with submarines bas beeu the danger from chlorine poisoning," Mr. Hutchinson snld. "The batteries nt present contain sulphuric add. If it Is able to escape through tbe lead lining and tbe hard rublMjr Jars, as frequently occurs at present, it oats its way into the Inner steel skin of tbe tubmarlne.
"The new EdLson battery contains a potash solution and tht only metal lu it is sleel nnd nickel. The submarine is of steel and It floats In an alkaline solution of salt water. Our new baf. toi'!^-! ure of steol nnd contain an alka¬ line solution—so the principle is steel within steel ai^ alkali within alkali. Tho oause of the generation of polson- »us gnses does uot exist.
"The EdLson submarine batteries will furnish power on whieh the submarine can cruise under water at the rate of between four and flvo knots for 150 miles.
"The L-8 will have a cruising range on Its surface engines of 2,500 miles nnd a total range of Zf'iO. It will carry six tori>«loes. inaking « thirty- two knot speed, with a range of be¬ tween 4,500 and 5,000 yards."
