EdisOn's Mystery.

Mr.. Edison has stumbled upon some
thing new that puzzles and confounds
him. For weeks he and his men have
been at work in his workshop at Menlo
Park, N j., to perfect the electric gen.
orators to supply the new electric light.
The lamp is completed, and the meter
to measure the amount of electricity
used is nearly finished. The generator
has now to be perfected, and then the
world will see the light that has worried
the holders of gas stock 30 long. Iu the
course of this study the great inventor
has run upon something which he thinks
is new force, unknown to science. He
thus speaks Of it.:
While we weIe experimenting with
the electric light the other night, got
some more indications of the presence OF
some subtle, evasive force that 1 could
not call electricity or anything else with
which we are acquainted. would de-
scribe it as a new radiant force, lying
somewhere between light and heat on
one hand and magnetism aud electricity
on the other. On bringing a magnet
toward the electric light, which was then
radiating only heat, the magnet became
charged with this What-do-you. call-it,
so that it emitted a spark in the dark.
Some of the points which go to show
that it is not electricity are that it does
not respond to any of the physical tests
of electricity except the spark. It pro.
duces no physiological effects like cleo.
tricity save on the frog. 1t gives no evi'
dence of polarity. 1t passes through
the air and other resistances by large
surface at the terminals, even when the
apparatus is not insulated, and wher
connected with the earth or walls of q
room it can yet be drawn of from the
conductor"
Edison is not positive that "what-do
you-call-it" is new force, for it might
be some curious manifestation OF cleo
tricity, under conditions not understood
and he modestly expresses the wish tina
some ambitious students" would tax,
hold Of it and solve the problem.

Major Andres PronOsed Monument.

A great deal of discussion has been
brought about in the New York papers
by Cyrus W. Fields proposition to erect
a memorial stone over the spot where
Major Andre was hanged, the inscription
to be written by Dean Stanley, of West
minister abbey. The following letter
on this subject is from the EUening
Post:
In view OF the recent discussion about
a monument on the spot where Major
Andre was hanged, and an inscription, /
have tried my hand" at writing one,
which seems to me appropriate, and /
inclose it more for the sake of calling
out the ideas of others on the general
subiecc, if you think it worth while,
than from any particular admiration
OF the production on my own part:
Here
John Andre,
British Major
Sentenced by COurt-Martial
or Washington's Army,
Was,
BY his Order,
Hanged as Spy
October "a, 1880,
Aged 29 Years.
Mistaken zeal for his King
Brought him to the Fate
Which, by the rules Of War,
Was his due;
Yet were his foes moved to spare him,
By the graces and virtues Of the Man,
Which endeared him to all hearts;
But the liberty OF a People
Was at Stake;
To warn Others
Was their Duty;
and
Benedict Arnold,
A Traitor,
Having escaped to the British,
They refusing an Exchange,
Left Major Andre
To Die.

The following interesting letter we
take from the correspondence column of
the New York Evening Post!
"During the summer of 1875, after

OF the late Sir William Stirling Maxwell,
near Bridge of Allen, I was highly
favored by an interior view and inspeo-

favor that one could scarcely expect out

Young ladies sometimes elope with
stage drivers, but it is not every one. 80
doing, who can claim that a presidents
cousin made himself n hermit on that
account. Alvin Harrison, an eccentric
character, and cousin of ex-President
Harrison, has just died near Oswego,
Kansas, at the age of seventy-three.
He was once promising young
lawyer of Ohio, and when old Tippe-
canoe ran for the presidency young AL
vim went on the stump in his interest.
Afterward he studied medicine and be-
came engaged to lass who, before the
appointed wedding-day, eloped with a
stage driver. Harrison then built him
cabin in the Neosho bottoms, where,
alone and neighborless, sleeping on a
bed of straw and subsisting en- spoilt
bacon, he lived the life morose her.

1.-THE Finger of God, is the heading
of n local note in the NOupeGu Monde
OF Montreal. Gabriel Cloutier, a pious old
man, deemed it his duty to chastise for
intemperance his two grown-up daugh-
ters. The girls, however, chastised
him and his mother, and one of them
severely bit the third finger Of his right
hand. Next day he took out warrant
for them, but when he and the police-
men arrived at the factory where the
girls work it was found that the one who
bit him had just had the third finger OF
her right hand taken off by machine.
The policeman was dismissed, for the
old man said that he saw in this curious
coincidence that the finger of God had
been laid in punishment upon the prin-
cipal offender.
