How Edison Killed Cockroaohes.

New York Telegram.
Years ago, when Thoma A. Edison was q tele-
graph operator in the ofice Of the old Franklin
company. on Wall street, he was continually
getting himself into trouble by perpetrating
electrical pranks on his brother operators. The
Instruments in those dsys were placed on shelf
like decks ranged along the walls of the ooerat-
ing-room, and Edison's place was in . corner or
the room. Here he coucocted all his schemes
for making life miserable to everyone and every
thing about him.
The office seemed TO be the rendezvous for oil
the cockroaches in the lower part OF the city,
aud Edison hit on q novel plan to
them one by one. He rugged up a wire along the
wall and then catching one of the insects put 1t
to death in the short and painless fashion ap-
proved by Commodore Gerry. One By one the
insects we're 'sparked OUT of existence. until
finally Edison became known TO the Franklin
boys as 'Cockroach Tom
In the cloak-room was a large tank generally
filed with ice water. beside which hung q tir
dippsr on q pailin the wall. Edison connected
this nail with a wire az the other end OF which
were 100 cells OF Fuller battery, strong enough
TO make ons think he had bean struck by the

Beyond the cloud-clumps fancy scars unbound;
The stars but mark how iimitless the blue.

And the rapt gaze may undreamed deeps explore
