Convicts Not Inventors.

Warden Cassidy, of the Eastern peni
tertiary, said yesterday, in speaking OF
the convicts in the prison: "In my ex-
perience of quarter of century
never knew prisoner to invent any
thing. l do not see why they should,
because they belong to class who have
no genius. You don't often find bred
mechanics in prison. It's only the heredi-
tary thieves and ne'er-do- wells, who
have never been educated to trade, whO
come here. Some lines mechanic gets
into fight and commits some crime,
but they are few, and out of the LOLA
prisoners here to-day there's only seven
zeal mechanics. The class we get here
are simply machines. They learn how
to m Ike shoes or cigars, but
they never invent anything. The bis
of fancy work they make is crude, and
you can buy something just like it, only
great deal better, tor less than the
cOnvicts ask for it,"
Tons of socks are knit at the penten-
tiary. Most of them go to the far west.
A million cigars are made every month;
they are arly all sold in the south.
Nearly every convict has q musical in
strument of some sort; some have
banjos, others flutes, accordeons or har-
monicas aud number of them hav o
parlor organs, which are brought to
them by their relativ' s. Few of the
prisoners have much idea of harmony.
They are allie we'd to play in their cells
from until O'Clock in the evening,
when the gas all over the place is shut
off, which is the signal to 60 to bed.-

If the prophets do not fail, and as
tronomy has become so exact science
that the chances are they will not, we
are to have in few nights beautiful
meteoric display in the heavens. The
earth, as she swings her ponderous bulk
in her orbit, encounters on tho 18th the
November meteor zone, and plunging
headlong through the sparsely scattered
cosmical atoms, and igniting those that
impinge upon her atmosphere, she
causes them to descend as falling stars.
This gigantic hoop or meteor zone con-
sists of a swarm of particles following
Temples Comet. The unfortunate visi
tor from the star depths venturing too
near the planet Uranus was captured by
the giant orb, forced to become a mem
Der of the system, and to travel hence
forth within its boundaries. The event
probably occurred in the second century
of the Christian era. The perihelion Of
the November meteor zone is on the
earths orbit, at the point she passes
about the 18th of November, and the
aphelion is beyond the orbit of Uranus.
The particles of the comet and the
swarm of meteroids have thus far scat
tered over but one-tenth of the zone, but
in the course of time will fill the whole
space. AS the period Of revolution is
about thirty-three years, grand dis
play of fiery rain occurs only at those
intervals. The next one may be ex-
pected in 1899. Observers, however,
who watch patiently on the nights of the
18th, 18th and 18th, will be rewarded by
seeing few meteors radiating from the
constellation Leo, which are true Leon
ides, the name given to the members of
this meteoric zone, because they seem
to start from this constellation. Such
is the delightful uncertainty OF meteoric
astronomy, that the earth may capture
a larger number of these little bodies
than is anticipated. Therefore 1t Is well
to keep a careful lookout.-[P hiladel-

A Washington Genius Who Cures People

They can repeat it backward or forward

who, after learning the system, went to
hear Beecher and Cook lecture, and af-
terward repeated the lectures to an au-
dience without having taken note. He
repeated Beecher's lecture at the Young
Mems Christian association rooms on
New York avenue. or course he did
not give every word the lecturer used,

fresh and sparkling in the light; and in
