Great Chances for Inventors.

Prof R..H. Thurston, in the May
Forum, states that the world is
awaiting the appearance of three in
ventors, greater than any that have
gone before, and to whom it will accord
honors and emoluments far exceeding
ing any yet received by any of their
predecessors. the first is he who
will show rs how, by the combustion
of fuel, directly to produce the elec-
trio current; the second is the man
who will teach US to reproduce the
beautiful light of the glow worm and
the FREELY, light without heat. the
production of which means the utili-
zation of energy without the still more
serious waste than the thermo-dyna-
mic now met with in the attempt to
produce light; while the third is the
inventor who is to give US the first
practically successful air ship.
The first two of these problems are
set for the electrical engineer, and
we may be pardoned excess of faith,
should it prove to be such, when, con.
templating the enormous gain to hu-
manity which must come of such in
ventions, we look confidently for the
genius who is to multiply the wealth
of the world to an extent beside
which even the boon conferred by
the creators of the steam engine and
the telegraph will not appear over
shadowing. When this inventor
comes forward. and most probably not
till then, it is very likely that we shall
see steam superseded by a rival.

Heights of Clouds.

The cloud illumination caused by
the electric lights Of Detroit and
Ypsilanti is occasionally SO we'll de.
fued in outline, as seen from this OBJ.
servatory. that it occurred to the di.
rector to ipaugurate a series CT alti-
tude measurements for the purpose
of determining the heights of all forms
of clouds visible at Ann Arbor after
twilight.
The central portion of Detroit is
about 35 miles from the observatory,
while Ypsilanti is only 5.8 miles dis
tant. The azimuths of the two
cities differ about 80 degrees, so that
the conditions for determining the
heights of the upper and lower clouds
can always be made favorable when
the atmosphere is sufficiently trans
parent. When the clouds are very
high, the Detroit illumination is so
we'll defined that the probable error
of single measurement of an altitude
is only a few minutes o
arc. When the clouds are
low. the nearer illumination is well
defined and the farther one either in.
visible or coincident with the appar-
ent horizon. The greotest and least
heights recorded up to the present
time are respectively 1850 and TIC
feet.

What a Pretty Baby.

Is it a boy or girl? How often
do we hear this remark and question
Yes. it is a pretty baby, but how bad
it's mother looks. She looks as if she
were going right down. She is so
thin and yellow, aud her face is COW
cred with wrinkles and blotches. She
seems so nervous and irritable too;
but it is easy to account for her con-
dition. Childbirth has left her with
prolapsus or other displacements,
poisoned blood, and disordered
state Of the stomach and bowels The
best thing she can do is to use at

Mr.. Edison's Baby and His
Photograph.

According to the New York Her.
aid. Thomas A. Edison. the inventor,
has been interesting himself with bis
new baby and phonograph at his
home. When the baby crowed with
glee, tie crow was registered on the
phonograph; when it got mad and
yelled, its piercing screams were ir-
revocably recorded on the same ma
chine. That phonograph is now a
receptacle of every known noise pc.
culiar to babyhood. 1t is Mr.. Edit
sons intention to take record of the
strength Of the baby's lungs every
three months. II will preserve the
record" said he, until the child be-
comes a young lady. Then the
photograph can be operated for her
benefit, and she can see for herself
just what kind of baby she was,
