iron, which had been taken from the wreck
Of one OF Sir John Franklin's ships, and
from this be was endeavoring TO make
knife blade, which, when completed, would
be about twelve inches long. In cutting it
from this iron plate be was using for chisel
an old fle, found on one Of the ships, which
Il bad taken him two or three years to
sharpen by rubbing its edge against stones

The ragged sides OF the irregular piece Of
iron, and when discovered him he had out
lined the width of his knife on the plate and

out this piece, and two mors TO fashion tho
knife into shape and usefulness Ths fls

this time hs was poor and his expert
ments were pursued under the mos'
overwhelming obstacles. In 1881 he sur
prised the neighbors in the little village on
the outskirts of jersey City, N. j., in which
he lived, by bringing them into his kitchen
one evening to witness an exhibition OF
Minstur electro locomotive he had con
structed. 1t ran on little circular track,
the stationary steam engine developing the
electricity receiving steam from the stove
kettle. After this nlliputian demonstration
he succeeded In inducing capitalists to ad.
vance him money, which resulted in 1883 In
the construction Of two-ton electric loco
motor, which pulled successfully ten-tcr
passenger car up the railroad on Mt
McGregor, N. Y, recently rendered famous
by the trip OF the dying hero Grant up itt
steep incline. This motor attracted soms
attention, chiefly from the electric brakes

almost continuously at the problem of loco
motion by electricity, the elimination Of

When Madam Saws n Board.
Denver Tribune-Republ.can.

When a woman her home would decorate
She stops not at obstacles, small or great,
But the funniest sight her trials afford
Is when madam essays to saw board.
With her knee on a plank, and the plank on
chair,
She poises her saw with a knowing air;
Makes several wild rasps at the penciled
line,
And is Off with whizz the reverse Of fine.
With lips compressed she gets down to work,
And crosses the timber jerkity- Jerk;
She can't keep to the line, her knee slips
askew,
But she keeps to the work till the board
splits in two
She has damaged the chair, she has ruined
the saw,
Her back Is aching, her hands are raw,
And she finds, when she tries to fit her prize.
It's an inch too short Of the requisite size.

A subject Of great interest among the ma
tives at Irebu was "what Is 1t that turns the
paddle wheels OF Stanley's steamer" This
was difficult puzzle to them Some would
have 1t that there were about twenty men
concealed somewhere in the bottom OF the
steamer. Other, doubted that, and hotly
maintained that the secret was In that big
pot boiler) therwise why should the cook

fire inside. But what was IL that the en-
gineer was cooking SO industriouslyi Ali
that was another puzzle. Whatever it is,
said they, 1T takes a long time to cook.
