societies, notably the British Association, the Society of Arts, the American National Electric Light Association (meeting in Boston, Mass., 1887), the American Institute Of Electrical Enginkers,1 and the Vienna Electro-Technical Society. The Society of Arts awarded him its silver medal for his paper on "Electric Locomotion." He has also written numerous articles for scientific journals. The English Electrical Review in particular has published many valuable contributions from his pen. He started business on his own account in 1885 for the purpose of building electric boats, cars and motors for various purposes. The most noteworthy of the boats was the " Volta," which made the celebrated double voyage between Dover and Calais on the 13th of September, 1886, also the more difficult voyage between London and Dover. Mr. Reckenzaun spent nearly a year in the United States, when he introduced bis electric cars on several street railways, and where he built the " Magnet," the first electric launch in American waters. As an enthusiastic advocate of the storage battery for traction and navigation, Mr. Keckenzaun has probably contributed more than any one else to bring the possibilities of the accumulator to the attention of the public, both technical and lay, and much of the practice obtaining in these fields to-day is due to him. Among other work may be mentioned the Ileckenzaun-Pentz meter. He came to America again last summer to inspect the electrical exhibits at the World's Fair, and to survey the general technical situation. Before leaving New York, and after his return from Chicago, he was urged to give up work and visit some of the resorts in Southern Europe or the West Indies, but declined attempting to defeat fate, for he regarded himself as foredoomed. Ilia death has deprived the electrical engineering profession of a pure and noble spirit, and his friends of a manly, tender companion. 1. Transactions, vol. v. p. 1. Preece, Wm. H. F.R.S.
