tains a vast mass of iron mile long ana OF
about the same width, which runs stralght
down into the earth for number OF
miles.
His Telephone to the Sun.
'The telephone. said Mr.. Edison, lis,
you know, made by running wire around
the top of a magnetic bar, and this macnlne,
when charged with electricity, enables us 70
register the sounds which come In contact
with it.
We are using this immense natural par
of iron of the New Jersey mountains as tne e
basis Of our telephone. We have Woun9
miles of wire about its top and have ioImeo
an inductive circuit in which we Will nave
the most powerful of electric currents. we
expect through it to hear the noises maoe
on the sun, and the explosions which are
supposed to be constantly going on there
will, believe, within few weeks pe nearo
right here. We have been working at the
matter for some time and have 1t just about
ready for testing.
eve have by no means reached the per-
fection of the telephone" Mr.. Edison went
on. improvements are being made all the
time If single wire could be placed
so high above the earth that 1t would not
touch the mountain tops, you could Whisper
around the world. If we could have tele-
phone from the earth to the sum mean a
wire-we could send sounds there with per-
feet ease"
The Wonderful Kinetosraph.
Mr. Edison took me out into his labora-
tory and showed me his latest invention IN
connection with the phonograph, which he
calls the kinetograph. The machine takes
q, go photographs every minute on long
strip Of gelatine film and in reproducing them
they are made to revolve as fast before the
eye as when they were taken. The result
is that the eye does not see the forty-slx
photographs, but it sees only the one with
the motions or gestures Of the man taken.
I saw one of these machines in motion repre-
senting one of Mr. Edison's employees tax
ing smoke, and you can see the man raise
the cigar to his lips, turn his head and blow
out the smoke just as natural as though he
were in life.
Another set of photographs represented q
boxing match, and it was as natural as
though the men were actually fighting be-
fore your eyes, and it sometimes took
dozen photographs to make single motion.
The machine I saw was nickel-in-the-slot
machine, and will probably be on the market
in short time. The strip on which the
photographs are taken is about as wide as
tape measure. but the figures are magnihed
through glass in looking at them.

asked Mr.. Edison as to the profits Of
the monograph. He replied that the in
vention had not been managed as well as it
should be- and he spoke of Mr.. Lippincott.
Said he: "Lippincott is suffering from
clot of blood on the brain. The doctors say

A practical illustration of the benefit "a
the farmer of the recently proposed system
of freight service will soon be given In
Maryland, where an electric road 1S miles
long is being run through q frstclass farm
ing country that the steam railroads have
not touched. This road will not only be
used for passenger traffic. but will be
equipped with freight cars that Will have
q capacity OF five tons. No matter how
muddy the highways are or how stormy the
weather, the motor trucks upon which the
farm wagons are wheeled, will always be
ready to carry their loads to the nearest
market, and to bring back their return load
when req uired.

The Telephone for Fire Brigades.

The firemaster of Glasgow has a telephone
especially adapted for brigade purpose con-
structed. 1t is enclosed in small box, and
comprises complete receiver, transmitter,
and magnetic call bell, no battery being re-
ouired. On the arrival of the brigade at .
fire. one or more Of the portable telephones
is mt once attached to tho nearest fire alarm
box and communication ID established with
headquarters.

''six hours or 61z are plenty for me, and
seldom take more: If I sleep eight hours I
find that after breakfast I. want to 60 to
sleep again, whereas five hours puts me in
splendid condition, and am ready for any,
thing. I think sleep after all is more OF
matter of habit than anything else, and that
in the far future, if we should have an arti-
fetal light which would make the world like
day year in and year out, we would never
sleep at all. FRANK G. CARPENTER.

savdust for Generating ELECTRICITY.

In parts of the country where coal Is dear,
electric light and power companies are Iook-
ing for the cheapest substitute tney can
find. An electric corporation in Oregon has
the good fortune to be near the sawmills OF
a great lumber company and has promptly
seized the opportunity offered OF securing
an economical fuel for its power plant. The
refuse of the sawmills is taken direct from
the saws and conveyed directly to the
boilers of the electric company Wltnout any
handling whatever.

UR patent system puts q
premium on rascality. I

The speaker was the
great inventor, Thomas A.
Edison. The place was
his experimental labora-
tory near Orange, N. J.
The time was about II
o'clock one morning a few
days ago. Mr.. Edison had
had no sleep for Sc hours.

Wire Fences as Lightn ing Conductors.

The data collected by insurance companies
that issue policies on cattle show that dis
tinct increase in risk is caused by the use Of
wire fences on farms. The number Of cat
tie reported as killed by lightning is very
large. In the majority of cases the cattle
were near the wire fences ut the moment OF
their being struck, and so convinced are the
companies that the metal strands by acting
as conductors of electricity increase the
chances against the life of the cattle, thas
they are making q modification or the con-
ditions on which such insurance Is given

WRITTEN FOR THE DISPATCH. ]

WRITTEN FOR THE DIsPATcH.I
There is man in Washington who has
the distinction Of having the biggest head
in the world. His name is Lotus Jones
Parker, and his head measures little more
than 80 inches around. A 21-inch girth is
pretty fair sized head. Mr.. Parker is 48
years old and is respected citizen of the
National Capital He has been in business,
with place on Louisiana avenue, near
Seventh street, but for about 20 years he
has been leading retired life. He did not
retire upon the accumulations of an active
business career, as many worthy men do,
but upon a bonus or subsidy given by
three prominent physicians of Washington,
who wanted to secure his remarkable head for

THE DEATHLESS HEART.

rhe flames ran riot o'er roof and wall
And wrapped the house in a lurid pail
Through the glare and smoke, through the din
and heat
All eyes upturned in the crowded street
We're filled with pity and yearning fear
FOR the children thought to be dying therei
Tust at that moment OF speechless dread
At an upper window the curly head
of girl OF twelve in the red light shone,
Her arms in the tenderest fashion thrown
Round her weeping brother OF FIVE years old,
And her dark locks blent with his locks Of goldi
The people urged her 70 leap IN vain
While the sparks came down like fiery rain,
And the boy was dropped mid the widening
glow
To the haven of outstretched arms below
rhe. girl rushed back through the eddying
smoke
And never d word to the watchers spoke,
But swiftly aeain TO the window came,
A babe in her arms. and her dress afiame!
She wrapped the baby in blankets tight
And leaped at once with her burden light
To the eager hands that were opened wide
Fronting the crest Of the crimson tide!
The infant happy and safe ut last
Was quite unharmed by the peril past,
But the sister who saved her, though breathing
still,
Was beyond the reach OF all mortal skill!
The fire had fed on her cheeks SO fair,
Nor left the ghost Of dimple there
No trace remained Of her eyes so bright
Those marvellous wells Of truth and light
And her hair, where the sunbeams loved to
stray,
Like sudden darkness had passed awayi
The doctor told her, in gentlest tone,
She must 60 through the Valley OF Death slone,
For his healing art and his wish were vain
To bring her back to the world again!
'Ohi thank you, doctor, but don't mind me,
know you, sir, though cannot see.
"rve saved our Robbie and baby, too
Twas almost more than hoped 10 do
But now I'm tired and feel some pain,
And hear O voice like the far-on rain,
''Or Is it-because know He's near-
Oh! tell me, sir, Is It Christ hearf
Our Saviour will take me to His kind breast
Where the weary cease'-you know the rest"
With the words unfinished but smiling said
The girl sank back on the pillow-dead!
When her body was wrapped in its winding
sheet
'Pwns found that the terrible smoke and heat
Had ragged and reveled IN every part,
But had left unscathed the stainless heart.
The untchers uhisnered below their breath:
what o wonderful token Of life in death"
And q poet standing in silence near,
Spoke out In Q tremulous voice, yet clear:
'-rhe fame in reverence dared not touch
The loyal heart that had done so much.
For more than all triumphs Of earthly art
Is one grand deed Of a desthless heart"
