LIGHTNING For c0ckRo4cHEs.

Years ago when Thomas A. Edison
was a telegraph operator in the office OF
the old Franklin Company on Wall
street, ne was continually getting HIM
self into trouble by perpetrating cleo
tlical pranks on his brother operators.
The instruments in those days were
placed on shelf-like desks ranged along
the walls Of the operating end
Etison's place was in corner OF the
room. Here he concocted all his
schemes for making life miserable to,
every one and everything about him.
The office seemed to be the rendez
vous for all the cockroackes i'll the
lower part Of the city, and Edison hit
on novel plan to exterminate them,.
one by one. He rugged up a wire along
the wall, and then catching one of the
insects put it to death in the short and
painless fashion approved by Commo-
dore Gerry. One by one the insects
were spanked out" Of existence until
finally Edison became known to the.
Franklin boys as "Cockroach Tom"
In the cloak-room was Il large tank
generally filled with ice-water, beside,
which hung tin dipper on nail III the
wall. Edison connected this nail with,
a wire, at the other end OF which We're.
100 cells of Fuller battery, strong,
enough to make one think he had been
struck by the paddle-wheel of Fall
River steamer. The future Wizard OF
Menlo' then placed sign below the
dipper requesting all to PLEASE return
this dipper."
His request was needed. The dipper
was never taken down, but there were a
dozen OF more wrenched arms in the.
office in less than an hour.
All this time the youthful inventor
was working on the quadruplex tele-
graph scheme, which he afterward per-
fected, and which is now the principal
system in use by the Western Union,
Company.-Ne,v York Telegram.

Both should be widely reud the former for
tie clear manner In which he shows the
absurdity OF man trying to lift himself by
his boot-straps. which is about what Is
sought to be accomplished by protective
tariff, and the latter In order to form a
closer acquaintance with the American
writer who is recognized by both political
parties as high and impartial authority. W.
j. MCGEE writes Of "Paleolithic Man In
Americas" presenting presumptive evidence
of his autochthonal original that will bother
those anthropologlsts who look upon him
as an Immigrant from the Old World. Tho
Trenton gravel relics show that this
old settler was here at least as
early as the later Ice epoch, and
how many millions OF years ago that was is
question that must be left to biologists.
Professor Ms Shaler considers the "Habits
of the Great Southern Tortoise;" Captain
r. Q. Temple the Every. day Life Of Indlan
