MR.. EDISON'S INVENTIONS
Large Number of Them to be Sent to
the Tacoma Exposition.
One of the New Wonders on Which
He is at Work.

One of the most attractive features Of
the Tacoma Exposition this fall will be a
display OF Mr. Edisons inventions. In
the contract for lighting the building.
which was let some time ago to the
Edison Co., it was agreed that the COM
PAW should provide an exhibit of cleo
trical inventions that should be more
complete than any ever before exhibited
on this coast. Mr. Edison's inventions
in this line are famous the world over.
but many OF the most important of them
IN business way, and most interesting
and curious besides, have never been
very much talked about Electric lights,
the telephone, the photograph, electric
street cars and electric motors of various
kinds have come to be SO common that
they attract little attention. But the
appliances which have made it possible
to make use Of electric power in these
various ways, are very curious and inter-
esting and the public knows but very
little about them. They will all be shown
at the Exposition.
The feature of the Exposition which
will probably a tract the most attention
will be the devices by which electricity
is applied to mining. These are already
quite numerous, although the public has
heard but very little about them. Their
value is almost beyond comprehension
because they make it possible to develop
COOL many mines that without them
would be worthless. By their aid power
can be transmitted from some waterfall
miles away, to the property, and made to
operate drills and ali the machinery for
extricating and reducing tie ore.
Mr.. Edison is now at work on the most
curious machine he has ever yet devel-
oped, and if he succeeds in it he will
acquire more celebrity than any of his
former inventions have given him. 1t
is to be combination of the photograph
and electricity, and the purpose of it is
to transmit pictures just as sound is now
transmitted. By aid Of it and the tele-
phone he says he will be able to show
the people in one city theatrical per-
formance going on in another People
will not only be able to hear what the
performers say, as they may do that now
by the use of the telephone, but they
will be able to see the performance as it
is presented. Mr.. Edison hopes to have
this invention ready to show at the
Worlds Fair in Chicago, but does not
promise to exhibit it in Tacoma, although
he may do so.
The ice makers also promise to make
display OF ice and electric lights that will

HOW TO JUDGE WOOL.

An Exp'r In Sizing up Sheep should Look
on the shoulders.
Thu finest and softest wool is always OF
the shoulders of the sheep. says the Town
and Country journal. An expert i'll judging
sheep always looks on the shoulders first. A
writer of experience i'll rearing fine-wooled
sheep and in handling wool communicates
the following suggestions for selecting u
good wooded sheep. Always assuming that
tho wool to be selected il really fine, We first
examine the shoulders as u part where the
finest wool is to be found. This VIZ take as
a standard and compare it with the wool
from the ribs. the thigh, tho Pumps and
shoulder parts. and the nearer the wool
from the various portions of the animal ap-
lroaches the standard the better. First we
sciutinize tho fineness, and If tho result
IL satisfactory We pronounce the fleece,
IN respect tn hneness, very .eyeD." Next.
We scrutinize the length of the staple,
and If we find that the wool on the ribs,
thigh and back Approximate reasonably in
length to that OF our standard, we again
staple. 'true and event. We next satisfy
ourselves as to the density of the fleece, and
We do this by closing the hand upon a por-
tion Of the rump and loin wool. these points
being usually the thinnest and mole faulty.
IL this again gives satisfaction we designate
all the wool ''eyen to density" Nov, to
summarize these separate examinations: II
the fleece Ia nearly of equal length ON
shoulder n across the loins. va conclude
that We have a perfect sheep for producing
valuable wool.

Marriage was. however, out OF the aues.

this desirable end was attained he was to

Such selfish conduct. Of course. csused
