The New Historias.

Dcmorests Monthly for June.
John G. Green, who died recently in
England, has the merit OF having foun-
ded what is practically new school in
history. He has little or nothing to
say about kings or queens, battles, or
court intrigues. His History of the
English People is the model for all
annalists. He confines himself to the
growth of the nation in wealth, popu-
lation, and industry. He tells of the
difference in manners. the influence of
foreign customs, and the changes etfec-
ted by commerce and time. The bi
ographies of mOnarchs and their quar-
rels are but mere side-incidents in the
lives of nations. Mr.. Green died pre-
maturely, but he left noble work
which will have many imitators Prof.
McMasterS, an American, has already
issued one volume of the history of the
American people, written upon the
same basis; and it is to be hoped that
the time is not far distant when our
students will not have to commit to
memory the dates of the birth of kings
and queens, and when battles were
! fought. Their attention should be
! directed to the victories of peace, to
the great discoveries of ages, and to
the influence of literature and science
upon the progress of mankind. 1t is
not the great battles of history which
determine the destinics of the human
race. 1t is such facts as the discovery
of America, the invention of the prin-
ting press, the introduction of steam,
and the finding out of the wondrous
potencies and human uses of electricity.
In time all the old historians viii be-
come obsolete, and the annalist will
confine himself to those discoveries and
events which effect the lives of nations

The Keely Motor.

Demorest's Monthly for June
A good deal of ridicule has been
lavished on Mr.. Keely, of Philadelphia,
who claims to have discovered II
new motor of marvellous power, and
who has been for years engaged in
constructing generator that would
utilize his invention. His claim is that
with mere thimbleful of water he can
develop a power that will tear down
mountains. Extravagant as his CLANS
seem to he, he has succeeded in
raising great deal of money for his
experiments, and he is backed by some
very shrewd and intelligent capitalists.
He now alleges that his generator has
been perfected, and the time has come
for him to take out his patent. The days
of steam, he says, are numbered, for a
motor can now be made use of, SO in
eXpe nsive and SO mighty that it will do
the work of the world at a thousandth
part of the cost of steam or electrical
appliances. In science, molecules are
a combination of atoms. When water is
heated these atoms are driven apart, but
they still cohere in the form of steam.
Mr.. Kcely CLAIMS that should they
become diSinegrated, then would this
giant power become developed which
Re utilizes in his generator. All COM
binations of matter wood, metal, air,
water, and earth-are simply groups
or clusters of molecules. Should the
minute atoms composing the latter be
set free, by what Mr.. Keely ca Is vibra-
tory motion, there will be found the
secret of his great invention and the
marvellous uses to which it may be APP
piled 1t is not TO be disguised that
the scientific world regards Mr.. Keely
rs a humbug, but his generator is
actually on exhibition at Philadelphia,
and within the coming year it will be
proved whether it has any practical
value. 1t should be borne in mind that
we are on the eve of most marvellous
developments in chemical science
Experts in various scientific SpecialitieS
are now reconstituting the atoms dis
covered by chemistry with the most
surprising results. Wild as Mr.. Keely'>
claims may be, scientists who discredi
him believe that even more wonderful
discoveries will yet be made than thi,
is said to be. The distinguishing
feature and glory of our age is it
scientific discoveries and their applica
ton to our industrial progress.

n
Good Liver aud ~ Hard Worker.
A New York letter says: Mr.. Hurl-
bert was essentially q bon vivant He
liked to dine, and dine well, before un-
buttoning for his nights work. Then
he would take off his coat and vest,
adjust a magnificent pair of lenses to
his eye, send for cargo of ginger-ale,
and dash off page after page of edi-
torial until the night editor would be
bafiled to find room for it all. Mr..
Hurlbert, at the editorial desk, was the
most complete autocrat in his profess
sion. Every scrap of proof that was
to appear in the paper had first to pass
under his searching glances. His desk
was perfect picture of chaos, and yet
it was orderly disorder. Mr.. Hurlbert
could always put his hand at once on
the thing he wanted. His manner of
editorial writing was peculiar. He
would often have half a dozen articles
running at once; but he never missed
connection, and if the foreman was
careful, as necessarily, he must be in
"giving out the takes" they always
came back correctly. Driving home
one morning recently from The World
office with him, | said: "Mr. Hurl ert,

editors now who remain at their office

Reid comes down at l in the after

hands of Mr. Nicholson. Mr.. Dana,
of The Sun, turns everything over to
Mr.. Lord, and in The Times Office the
editor-n- chief leaves the night work in
the hands of his manager, Mr.. Reid.

bert there was no managing editor, ne
city editor, no night editor. These
were merely puppets, moved by the
master mind of the one "editor of The
World" His capacity for work was
enormous. Leaving The World Office
at in the morning, he was generally
up at II. His apartments in the
University building were marvels o

Burial of a CroSs-Eyed Cat.


The Widow Maloney, who lives in two
story brick cottage on frankfort Road. near
Lehigh Avenue, yesterday buried Thomas
cat that was a source of genuine pride to
the neighborhood in which he dwelt. The
cat in question was bob-tailed and had lost
one leg in an election riot To his other
misfortunes, which were sufficient to bring
tears to the eyes of an old maid, had been
added total deprivation of one ear and an
entire lock of hair on the head. The HAIR
had been swept off in collision with pail
of hot water, and the ear was severed by
boy who lived in the same block. To cap
the doleful climax, the cat was cross-eyed,
had temper that would have martyred a
mule, and voice that extended over seven
complete oclaves. As cross-eyed cat he
was an anomaly, never before seen in that
neighborhood. The cross-eyed Thomas cats
that have been born since Noah went into
the Ark, it is said, can be counted upon the
toes of one foot. 1t therefore happened
naturally enough that Tom, which was the
short for the name of the widow Malo-
uey's prize, soon after his birth, which oc-
Cured six years ago, got to be the st ndard
curiosity of Lehigh Avenue up as far as Sew
enty street, and on Frankfort Road to the
old bridge. The perversion of sight was
heartrending. Both eyes turned in, so thai
he bore the continual appearance of trying
to look down at his nose.
All that cat had to do to create a holiday
in that section of the city was to sit on Mrs.
Maloney's front stoop and settle his eyes in
position. He didn't have to gaze at anything
in particular. That was an accomp lishment
he did not possess. He simply wiggled the
stump Of his tail and waited for develop
ments. The developments generally came
10 on the first train, and consisted of small
boys, cats and dogs, men and women. And
the cat would sit there unmoved, occasion
ally revolving his eyes into fantastic posi-
tons, in order to convince the assembled
multitude what sort of chcus he really
possessed. At night he uplifted his voice.
He had two voices-a still and small voice,
like that of Mr.. Tllden declining the nomi-
nation for 1884, and a large, whole.souled.
expansive voice that surpassed the combined
effect Of thunder and fog-horn. The still,
small voice usually wandered forth into the
soft night just after dusk. The large voice
did not get abroad until about a. no. Then
1t stayed abroad until breakfast time. Some
times Mrs. Maoney's Thomas would expert
ment with both voices simultaneously. The
effect cannot be expressed. The final cause
of death was a laudable attempt to pass un-
der the wheels of a street car while it as in
motion. He was buried in a pine coffin with
a white ribbon around his neck. The coffin
was lowered by the widows eldest son into
grave three feet deep in the rear of the
family mansion. Fifty people were present
at the funeral, attracted by curiosity and the
fame of the wonderful cross-eyed cat.
