The Plante battery above referred to. which is known as the Manchester type, has a strictly Plante positive plate and whatis called a box negative plate, and is stated to be unquestionablythe longest-lived and most rugged storage battery in existence. Thecost of maintenance of this battery is discussed and the calculationshows a net gain practically identical with that of the Edison instance, in the 2,000-pound wagon it will cost for cents per vehicle mile. The rubber tire is stated to meet every practical requirement of. Fllj. 5,—ELECTKH UKLIVERV W.\GOX. automobile traction. The iron tire, while by no means impracticable,does not enable a motor vehicle to give its best performance. Ex-periments with hard wood tires in segmental blocks and with grainend on have been tried with satisfactory results except during thewinter season, when they slip on ice and snow, although very muchless so than iron tires. They are long-lived, semi-yielding, semi-noiseless, have very good wearing qualities, give good steering way,even taking car tracks at very close angles and are very cheap. considers that while not possessing all the necessary quali-fications of a truck tire, they may yet be looked to as indicating thedirection in which development should proceed. The paper also contains a discussion of the maintenance chargesof a gasoline vehicle. In the case of a vehicle corresponding to the2,000-pound electric vehicle, the cost is found to be cents pervehicle mile, as compared with
