Martello Take* Uie Death Ch»ir.

Scipione Martello was electrocuted in Clinton prison, June ii, for the murder of Giovanni Parello at Saratoga in 1892. The death warrant was read to him on Sun­day morning, and after that he ''spiked' ' the lock of his cell door with a button and tried to commit suicide by dashing his head against the wall, trying to strangle himself with his hands, and to crush his skull with his pail cover, but he did not succeed in his purpoae andosxf finally the door was forced open and he was ironed and a double guard placed over him.

At 11.46 a. m. Tuesday, he entered the death chamber and after receiving final absolution was lifted into the chair, being almost htlpless, and in another moment he was strapped to the chair and at 11 44 the current was turned on but a second shock was necessary to kill him.

DEAR Sir.: A friend has sent m'a copy of your issue of the 2J;h inst., containing a very inlere°ting article on the early la- ( bors of my father, Thomis Davenport, | tin1 inventor of the electric motor. The -writer has inadvertently fallen into sev- i cral errors which, in the interest of

as saying, "Tom and his wife weie both Vniversalists." My mother was never a

oy aa ap­propriation from the government and there is no record in my possession of his having ever had anything to do with an tiT'.rt"to move a train of cars, except upon the little circular railways of lm own construction, around which, it Was said his electrical engines "moved with great rapidity." If I am not mistaken,

tthe experiment alluded to was made by-Prof. Onas. G. Page, who received an ap­propriation from Congress and operated extensively in this cit>: but this occurred a considerable time after my fathei's la­bors in New York and his return to Brandon. The experiments of Prof. Page were conducted on the helix prin­ciple, which did not provy to be ulti­mately successful—it is not the principle employed in the successful in >tor of the present day.

The helix principle, however, as ap­plied to moving machinery, was discov­ered by my father in 1833. and a failure to see in this discovery another and later invention by him, has led the writer of your article into his last and most serious error. He says, "Exactly what place Thomas Davenport is entitled to in the list^ of the world's electricians has been difficult to determine, in consequence of the unreliability of many of the published statements. For instance, we find in Ap-pleton's Cyeloptelia of America-i Bios-raphy the following: 'Iu the prosecu­tion of his (Davenport's) experiments, he found that a bolt of iron could be drawn with great force into a helix of wire whenever the battery current was suffer­ed to pass through the coil.' We have seen bow the testimony of Oliver Daven­port refutes this. That discovery had already been made and utilized, and Thomas Davenport arrived at his knowl­edge of that force through the dissection of his Crown Point magnet."

The sketch of my father in Applet >n's Cyclopaelia was originally prepared by myself; but before publication it was somewhat condensed by the E litor and possioly some s'ight inaccuracies may thus have appeared. But the clause quoted and criticised above by the writer of your article is entirely correct. The testimony of Oliver Davenport iu uo way touches it. It was takea almost word for Word from my fathei's own statement. To avoid mistakes in describing bis in­ventions I used, as far as was po?s;bb ia so brief a sketch, his own word'. In a letter written to the Brandon Post, of Sept. 26, 1850, he says, "E*rly in 1S33 I ascertained that a bolt of iron could be drawn with great force into a helix when­ever the battery current was suffered to pass thiongh the coll. I immediately constructed a small engine on this prin­ciple, . . . . During the same season I filed a caveat for this improvement in the United States Patent Office, and sent several models to Europe. A patent for this invention was obtained in Eagland and the Provinces." This helit engine was au entirely new discovery, totally . different iti principle and construction from that which be had originally worked out in Brandon five years before. The "dissection of his Crown Point magnet" at that time taught him how to mike other magnets, but it was not in that d;s- ' section that he made his great discovery. The great discovery followed when he learned how to turn a wheel with, the magnets he made. And this was done by means of two systems of electromagnets, ' one revolving and the other stationary. • But the crucial point lay in the device by which a sufficiently rapid reversal of the polarity of one system of his magnets ! could be produced. After many weeks of incessant study and experiment, so graphically described by Oliver Daven- I port, this was finally accomplished and the wheel steadily revolved. After count- \ ing thirty revolutions, the inventor ex- ' claimed, as wtll he might, "Eureka '. En- i reka!"' For he had wrought out and put' in operation a principle which was des­tined to become, as he bdieved, and as the world is coming to believe, the great motive power of the future. Machines i built on this principle—and he built al- j together about a hundred of them—he , called his "rotary" engines, to distinguish , them from those of the helix pattern. They were substantially identical with all the electric motors now in successful use.

In his later invention, that of the helix engine, there was no wheel moved di­rectly bv electric power, and no reverml of magnetic pole*, b u t a b a r o f i r o n w a s s e t i n motion, either perpendiculaily or hori­zontally, by- being alternately drawn in and out of a helix, or coil of wire, thus operating like the piston rod of a steam engine, and in that way turning the crank of a wheel. A current of elec­tricity was directed through the coil from the batterv, which caused the bar to be drawn with great force into the coil. At this point the current was shut off, and another coil on the other end was in­stantly galvanized in the same way, which drew the bar back again in an op­posite direction. It. will be seen that there was no reversal of poles in this in­vention, as in the turning of a wheel, but a constant cutting off and renewal of the battery current, in other words, the alter­nate charging and discharging of the magnets. This has been described as the principle of the core moving within the magnetic field of a sole­noid, which afterward came to be well known by the name of the 'axial magnet.'

It will be seen that my father was the inventor of two distinct methods of pro­pelling machinery by electro, magnetism, the flrst of which the world baa adopted and universally employs. His place, therefore, "in the list of the world's elec­tricians" is not "difficult to determine."

The rumor, to which the writer alludes, that in the closing yeara of his life, my father "devoted considerable study to terrestrial magnetism," probably arose from the fact that he frequently lectured upon the great theme, and declared bis belief that all nature was filled with mag­netism. But tbe special subject that ab­sorbed bis thoughts in his closing years was not terrestrial magnetism, but tbe scieoce of sound as affected by tbe elec­tric current. Be applied the current to stringed instruments of musk-, and suc­ceeded in prolonging Use sound like tbe tone* of an organ, yet retaining tbe sweet

tones. Tbie invention be per­fected to bis am infection, and preparer! bin eaveat for file, but before be could (wild aa instrument on that principle, be tma »iraed witb a fatal Ulnoas, and tbe secret died with him.
