Ill—the spring-jack gripping the tail T at 6 and the conductor being inserted and bound by the spring 5. One complete set or couple of cat elements having, according to Haskins, a potential of 47 volts, the simplest form of medical battery is that shown in Plate IV. The metallic tub is filled with hot or cold water or both from the faucets M M. The elements A B are thus excited, and the continuous current passes from the springjacks ¢ ¢ to F and B, forming a complete circuit through the patient, as shown. Uniting a high electro-motive force with a quantity of many farads, the cat battery is found useful for the produc- tion of the arc light. Tillotson’s arrange- ment is probably the best of these. The electro-positive element is connected by stout copper wire to the lamp S by the binding post B, and the electro-negative element similarly to B. The sum of bat- tery resistance at F will be found to balance exactly that of the arc N; hence no regulator is required, and a constant current is thus maintained until the bat- tery wears itself out. For batteries of high tension and im- mense quantity, four or more couples may be connected for intensity, as shown in Plate V. The couplings C C C C are of No. 18 copper, wound very tightly, and moistened with mustard. The termi- nal spring jacks S S are of extra power, and convey the current to the discharger X, between the poles of which a vivid torrent of sparks will pass as long as the battery is in action. Sterns’ recent inves- tigations show that four such complete sets will develop a current whose energy is 9,000 volts and whose quantity is 640 farads. The only drawback to the Cat Battery is found in the wear and tear on material, but as the supply in New York Miss WipGerY—Come, Mr. TOLLIVANT; You’RE DELAYING THE Game AWFULLY.
