DK. WILLIAM W. STRONG
Mechanlcsburg, Pa., July 10.—Ont,
lof the most important of the modern
Inventions and upon which some of
the brightest minds in the scientific
•world are to-day working has re
cently been perfected and completed
rby Dr. William Walker Strong, of Me
chanlcsburg, which is to revolutionize
the present condition of smoke be
grimed cities. So confident is Dr.
'•Strong in the ultimate success of his
Invention that ho has purchased the
ffcrmer Evangelical Church building in
this place for the manufacture of the
Instruments and a company has ap
plied for a charter to be known as
"The Scientific Instrument and Elec
trical Machine Company of Mechan.
Icsburg." Patents also have been
taken out In England, Canada and the
United States.
In the working out and perfecting
his Ideas toward smokeless cities Dr.
Strong has spent years of research.
While lie occupied the chair of elec
trical theory in the University of Pitts
burgh he was sent to California to
study the problem in all its phases.
But he had his own ideas and clung to
them tenaciously, the result to-day be
ing that the instruments have been
tested and worked to the entire satis
faction of the inventor.
At the exhibition at Washington,
D. C., of the American Physical Appa
ratus Society these instruments com
manded attention and interest. Dr.
Strong is a recognized expert in his line
of work and the result of his investiga
tions is in constant demand. A paper,
written and read by him at the thirtieth
annual convention of the American In
stitute of Electrical Engineers at Coop
erstown, N. Y„ was of profound
thought. Another was published in
The Electrician, the oldest weekly
electrical journal, published in Lon
don. England.
Dr. Strong Is comparatively a young :
man and there is every indication that I
his career will be a useful and bril
liant one. He was born in Good Hope,
a little hamlet in Hampden township, !
If.ter moving with his parents, Mr. and i
Mrs. W. H. Strong, to Mechanicsburg.
He was graduated from Dickinson Col
lege and rceived his degree of doctor
of philosophy from Johns Hopkins
University; was assistant chemist hi
the faculty of Johns Hopkins; assist
ant in research in the Carnegie Insti
tute and occupied the chair of elec
trical theory in the University of Pitts
burgh. In his many researches that
are included in no less than thirty-two
scientific reports Dr. Strong has been a
leader in the study of radio-activity.
He is an expert, peculiarly fitted for
the prosecution of the work on which
he is at present engaged.
