=Kelly, John Forrest= (Ph. D.), Pittsfield, Mass.; born near
Carrick-on-Suir, Ireland. He was educated in Stevens Institute of
Technology, Hoboken, N. J., received the degree of B. L. in 1878
and that of Ph. D. in 1881. His first occupation was as assistant
to Thomas A. Edison, in Menlo Park laboratory, his work then
principally relating to the chemistry of rare earths. Late in 1879
Mr. Kelly became electrical engineer of the New York branch of the
Western Electric Company. This was the time when the telephone was
being generally introduced, and when dynamos were being first
applied to telegraphic purposes. In the construction and
installment of instruments for telegraphy and telephones and of
such measuring instruments as were then known, Mr. Kelly received
a thorough training. In 1882 he became laboratory assistant to
Edward Weston, then chief electrician of the United States
Electric Lighting Company, and, with the exception of a year which
he spent in connection with the Remingtons, Mr. Kelly continued
his association with Mr. Weston until July, 1886. Some of the most
important work, such as the research which ended in the discovery
of high resistance alloys of very low or even negative temperature
co-efficients, were substantially carried out by Mr. Kelly under
general directions from Mr. Weston, whom Mr. Kelly succeeded as
