A Phenomenal YOUNG INVENTOR.
A LouisxiiIiau Who Bids Fair to Rival
Edisnn-IneenIons Contrixanees.

A LouisvIlIiau Who Bids Fair Rival
Edison-Ingenious Contrivanees.
A well known figure in the west end Is the
young inventor, George Bucket, who lives at
Eighteenth and Market streets. He is aoeut
% years old and an upholsterer by trade.
Mr. Buckets genius has been directed toward
electrical inventions, and he has succeeded in
creating some marvellous works in that line.
What he does not know about electricity is
not worth bothering about. His inventions,
when patented, win put Edison to shame.
Ono Of the most important of his creations is
a patent cooler. This is q small IRON contrlv
ance, about the size Of wooden bucket,
which throws out rays Of cold just as a stove
radiates heat. 1t viii freeze water in q room
during summer time, and will prove price
less boon to laborers in the hot sun, who can
cool themselves by this instrument.
Another one of Mr.. Buckets inventions is a
patent electric whip. This is so conrived
that the driver, by touching button on his
seat, can form a circuit which will shock the
horse and urge him on. Still another patent
Is coffin which viii forever preserve a
corpse in a lde-like state Mr.. Bucket has
also improved the telephone 50 that the
listener standing at one end can see the per-
son talking to him, and also hear the loudest
yell or smallest whisper as distinctly as if the
speaker were at your elbow.
The latest invention made by Mr.. Bucket is
an electrical apparatus to quiet uncontrol-
able maniacs in asylums Other inventions
are soon promised to the public by this young
man He is at present searching for capital
to back him, and says that he win make the
man a millionaire who viii properly en-
courage and set them before the wc<ld.-

A BOGUS ROLL OF BILLS.
Discovery at a West Virginia Hotel-A
Trick Meant for Somebody.

Trick Meant for Somebody.
A well dressed man registered at the Nc
Clure house the other evening and was as
signed to a room. Next morning chamber
maid who had gone to clean up the room
came down stairs with wide open eyes, hold
ing in her outstretched hands a bundle Of
bank notes bound together by gum, with a
green, crisp, new 500 bill staring out from
the top of the roll.
Clerk Harrison took possession Of the roll
which was about half an inch thick, and
looked as if it contained several thousand
dollars. Very naturally he ran the edges Of
the bills through his fingers, when he was
surprised to find that the inside was nothing
but common printed paper He then exam
ined the roll more closely, and discovered on
the opposite side a brand new looking $50
note, which was connected with the 800 bill
at the turn of the roll Next TO the hundred
and fifty bills were several Confederate notes,
and the whole was 50 neatly arranged that
any one would be deceived into believing that
it was large package of bills.
1t is thought the roll is used to 'stand Off
farokeeper. The owner goes into a faro
room, buys probably $25 worth of chips, pulls
out his roll and probably lays it down beside
him. saying that it win stand good for S25.
II he wins it is all right; if he loses he buys
more chips on the strength Of the fat roll In
this manner he has two or three chances of
winning and no chance of losing anything

Two Successful Paris Papers.

The most profitable daily in Paris has for
years been The Petit Journal, sold for a sou,
but getting an extreme price for its adver-
tisements It's circulation increases rapidly,
having now reached about 950,00 and be-
ing read by millions of people. For purely
popular sheet it is admirably managed, and
its annual profits are set down at the enorm-
GUS figure 100000 The next most sue
cessful paper is The Figaro, thoroughly Par
islam in every respect, and read wherever the
French language is understood. 1t was re-
vived by Villemessant thirty-two years ago,
and was turned into daily fourteen years
later. Its present. circulation is nearly 100,
600, which shows how dearly the Parisians
love pertinent and inpertinent gossip. 1t is
a stock company. It's shares, which once
sold for sixty francs, are now worth II 600.

A Lizard in Harness.

Several years ago a Pittsburg lady created
a sensation by having a lizard placed in a
gold harness so that she might attach the rep
tile to her own person. The chasing and
other ornamentation of the gold became some
what damaged by wear, and a new harness
was ordered in New York a few days ago
The lizard came in box, and with it was a
get rat that has divided if not alienated the
affections of its comrades owner. A little
collar set with small rubies was ordered for
the warm-blooded pet The collar was
finished first, as the harness had to be riveted
on its wearer, and it required good deal of
time and skill. However, both orders were
satisfactorily filed, and the unique pets are
now on their way to their Chicago
