visitation inewhich each church has a por-
tion OF city or town 10 visit from house 20
house. His description of the Sunday
Schools of France and the work being
done there. as seen by himself, was very
interesting and especially so was the ref
erence To the illustrated cards introduced
by him and which are printed by we'll
known Providence firm.
After the address was finished Mr.. Nc
Crillis of the Central Baptist Church,
who was the means Of bringing Mr.. Jacobs
here, spoke TO the audience stating in a
few words that "A certain gentleman had
offered to give $50 towards the Rhode
Island portion of the funds for the ex-
penses of the international Sunday work,
If the sum of 500 could be raised else
where in Rhode Island, but for two years
the offer had stood as the 5000 was not
forthcoming, and he hoped Rhode Island
would avail itself Of this offer in the
future. The benediction followed and the
audience dispersed.

"Do you think that the Inventions OF
the next fifty years will be equal to those
of the lastp" asked the reporter.
II sec no reason why they should not
It seems TO me that we are at the Begin
ming OF inventions. We are discovering
now principles, new powers, and new ma.
terials every day, and no one can predict
the possibilities Of the future. Take
electricity. When we get electricity di-
rectly from coal, lump as big as this
tumbler will light and heat whole house
for hours and basket full would run
factory for whole day. In the genera
tion OF steam we get only fourteen per
cent. OF the energy OF the coal. In elec-
tricity we get ninety-six per cent"

The conversation here turned to the
telephone, and Mr.. Edison talked about
his telephone to the sun. There is In the
New Jersey mountains vast mass OF iron
mile long and OF about the same width.
which runs straight down into the earth
for several miles.
"The telephone" said Mr.. Edison, els
made by running a wire around the top OF
a magnetic bar, and this machine. when
charged with electricity, enables us to
register the sound which comes In con-
tact with it. We are using this immense
natural bar OF iron OF the New Jersey
mountain as the basis OF our telephone.
We have wound miles OF wire around its
top. and have formed an inductive cir
cult, In which we will have tho most pow
erfu OF electric currents. We expect
through IL to hear the noises made on the
sun, and the explosions which are sup
posed to he constantly going on there

Just about ready for testing.
We have by no means reached the per.
fection Of the telephone. improvements
are being made all the time. and tho day
will come when every one will have his
telephone Long distance tolephoning is
growing, and the only restriction on the
possibilities OF the telephone is in tho
sympathetic contact OF the electrical wire
with the rest OF nature
Mr.. Edison said that many monographs
were In use. and he believed they would
be used eventually everywhere. In his
laboratory he showed the reporter his last
invention In connection with the phono-
graph. which he calls the kinetograph,
which is almost as wonderful as the
photograph itself. With the phono-
graph you can take song OF Patti from
the lips OF the diva and can reproduce IL
before an audience In all its intensity
year later and 1000 miles away. BY the
kinetograph, with the aid OF stereopti-
con, you can throw upon a screen a pic

Prof Upton's Observations.

Prof Upton assisted by Prof. w s.
Meader, of the Friends School, was busy
last night observing occultations of stars
which cannot be seen ut any other time.
These stars are so small that their light
Is not sufficient TO make them visible Mt
any other period. The observations of
these star occultations, made at different
parts of the earth, furnish the
best possible date for computing of the
dimensions of the moon, its parallaX, and
tor determining its precise position in its
orbit at the time OF observation. The
eclipses of the last few yeass have been
very carefully observed in this way by
concert among the diffoNnt leading
observatories Many dates in chronology
are fixed TO certain lunar eclipses.
Before the modern appliances We're in
use lunar eclipses were important to de
tcrmine longitude. The constitution of
our atmosphere is also estimated at times
of eclipses.
All the observations that were made by
the various observatories OF the world last
night. were upon the same points: 20 OBJ
serve the occultation of small stars near
the moon. There was list of the glass
sent TO the various observatories from the
observatory Of Dorpat, Russia, requesting
the several astronomers To make as many
observations as possible and send i'm their
data for correction.
Prof. Upton, in compliance with this
request observed eighteen different stars,
making thirty-iiVe observations alto
gether. some being immersiOns aud emer-
sions OF the same star
Prof Upton added six different ones
from the list sent by the professor from
Russia.
Prof. Meader read the chronometer as
Prof. Upton made the observation. This
was duplicated on the chronograph.
After the observations the correction 20

the times of observation

MARRIED TWENTY-FIVE YEARS AGO.


Manager Huriburt OF the Western Union
Remembered.
Saturday was the twenty-fifth ami
versary of the wedding of p. j. Hurl-
burt, local manager Of the Western
Union Telegraph Company, and he was
treated to series of surprises in the shape
of presents and other tokens of friendship
and regard from many acquaintances both
in social and business relations. His en-
ployes in the Office were among those who
took this occasion to signify in measure
their regard for him, and a substantial
gift in the shape of dining room furniture
was their Offering. These were presented
this afternoon. and more surprised man
than Madager Hurlbert it would be hard
to find in the city.

not have the mathematical calculations
made out before Wednesday.
All observations were made during the
time of totality, which lasted from 6:37
TO $50.
This eclipse will be followed by partial
eclipse of the sun December 1, visible at
the South pole. Gov. Ladd~and party
visited the Observatory after the observa-
tions had been made.

A mass meeting of the Sunday School

G. A. Hall, yesterday afternoon at 4
o'clock. The hall was well filled and n
song service occupied the first quarter

from the 18th chapter of St John. after
which Mr.. and Mrs. William Wilson sang
the beautiful hymn, "What Wonderful
Salvation Mr.. Holyoke then introduced
Il. +. Jacobs of Chicago, the well-known
Sunday School worker.
Mr.. Jacobs said that first of
all is needed personal devotion
for each and every Sunday school
superintendent, teacher or scholar, for the
world looks TO them for example
and their light must be made TO
shine so that non-Christians can
see and be made 10 believe that
they are in earnest, and thus the cause of
Christ will not suffer. Each one should
say, Lord help me TO be faithful" No
