THE NEW CLAIMANT.
The new aspirant for undying fame and
inc dentaily for the millions Of money
that are a.teI d mt upon great discoveries
which are world wide IN their uses has at
least the courage OF his convictions, and
his ideas are emitted to respect. since they
are backed up by the fact that the depart
mens Of patents at WashinA ton stands
ready to issue him his patent papers as
soon as he has II ected his arrangements
III several iCre gn countries to obtain sim
Ilar right there.
For REQ ,ons known 10 patent Law and
whch will give him the same rights in
many countries he wishes to secure his
lpers from the several governments upon
the SINE day. For this purpose the in
ven or, MIR. Albert Edeimann, sailed for
Europe on Nov. 18Th, upon the steamer
T-utoaic.

MIR. Eie ma0n was BON in Warsaw,
Pc and, 1892. and was educated at tae
university at DorLat. one OF the provinces
OF Livonil, on the Bait Sea. He gra 5u-
atei there as civil e, gineer, and tn
made the granl tour Of Europe. In 1852
he went 10 Australia, tie voyage from
London ID sgd ey occupying SIX IN nths.
HIS FIRST INSPIRATION.
In Australia Mr. Edcm nm devoted
him elf 70 his prot, sSion ard spent his
time in building railroads ard In other
eng neering enterprises. In 1860 he first
TUNED his uttent on to the di c very of
G elper coal. ard sine then he la, de-
vofed all hi time an! money t Ia puT-
suit
In the first place he argued that il was ii
we'll known fact that there exists up0n Tie
surface Of the glob. large quaH'i OF
Whist may be called Ignite. Brief de-
fined, Ignite is ccal formed at much

utiliZ d exactly as well as tha. VIII ch was
already known bituminous o. anthracite
coal was source of pain and vexation to
Mr.. Edalmann. He could not sleep at
night from his continued study of the
problem He was actually jealous. he
says himself, 10 think tiat people a

selves of that which the world m; ght use

which nature would take centuries.

In other words. the inventor believes
that by the mixture with Ignite ct cert lin
