EDISON, THE MODERN WIZARD.
He Has just Invented Machine More
Wonderful Than Its Predecessors.

"Kinetograph" is the newest word.
And very odd one it is to American ears,
but if Thomas Alva Edison is not sadly
mistaken it is soon to be as common
as photograph or telegraph. The thing
it represents, however, is certainly far
more wonderful than anything yet known
in the line of projecting sound or intelli-
gence. 1t is nothing more nor less than
telegraphing motion-that is, every move
ment of an actor on the stage can be re-
corded on cylinders and reproduced at
will, and that in seemingly continuous
movement and not with the successive
snaps of the ''magic lantern"
The first problem was to take instan-
taneous photographs in such rapid sue
cession that no break could be detected,
and Edison can now do that. The impress
sions are recorded on long roll of gela-
tine paper fastened to a spindle, which
passes over Photographic lens.
This is how Mr.. Edison himself de-
scribes the wonder: "The machine starts,
moves, uncloses, stops, takes photo
graph, closes, starts, uncloses, stops,
takes another, and SO on, and forty-six
of these are recorded every second"
And this process can be kept up for
thirty minutes without pause. So ?, 100
photographs can be taken each minute
and 81, 800 every half hour Thus the
full representation of say. an opera, the
movement on the stage and music can be
recorded.

Mother Goose.

Mother Goose was no myth, as is COM
monty supposed. but an actual parsonage,
Mrs. Goose, who resided in Boston at the
beginning OF the eighteenth century. One
of her daughters was married to printer
named Thomas Fleet. The old lady had
an endless stock of old rhymes and jingles
in her memory, with which she was wont
TO delight her grandchildren and all the
other little folks of the neighborhood
Mr.. Fleet took up the idea that it might
be worth while to collect these ancient dit
ties and put them in permanent form for
the use of future generations He there
fore brought out a book, of which the earli-
est edition now known bears the following
title: Songs for the Nursery; or, Mother
Goose's Melodies for Children. Printed by
7. Fleet, at his printing house, Pudding
lane, Boston, 49, Price, 2 coppers"
There is little doubt that this was the first
edition of the work, since the old records of
Boston give the date of the marriage of
Thomas Fleet and Elizabeth Goose as I715,
says the Inter-Ocean.

yond which no EsquimAux are found, not
because Of the cold, perhaps, but because
there is no food, nothing, indeed, but ice.
In 1873 the Alert and Discovery sailed
from Portsmouth, England, and on the
18th of MAY, 1876, the sledges Of the Alert
reached latitude SO dogs. 20 min. % sec,
the most northern point then attained, and
far beyond the most northern range OF the
Esquimaux. From the loftiest point at

discovered, bat all in sight suggested prs-

and higher toward the pole. The vessels

A SIDE VIEW OF THE KITE.

"They differ like Boston" as the old
saying goes. On his own basis Mr..
Maxim began two years ago to expert
ment, having rented large park in
Kent, England, for that purpose. His
general plan is that of a rapidly revolv-
ing steel shaft to which fans or wings
are attached, on the principle of the
screw propeller. After trying fifty differ
ent series of screws he has obtained
form, he says, which will carry 133
pounds for each horse power and the
machinery besides, and in starting will
ride up the air one foot for each four
teen feet of advance, just as a large
bird rises from the ground in long
spiral. His completed machine, with
fuel and steering apparatus, weighs
about 5000 pounds, and can develop, he
thinks, some go horse power. He calls
it the "Ariator," and expects to fly in
few weeks.

Concerning the Snail,

The snail is found everywhere, s, 1882 spe-
cies being known, serving in France as an
important item of diet and in this country
an attractive inhabitant of the fernery.
Some of the large tropical snails form nests
of leaves, their eggs being as large as n
pigeons. In the winter some of the suais
hibernate, or lie dormant until warm
weather. a snail of the Philippine Islands
has faculty of throwing of Its tail win en-
seized. This is also true of a West Indian
varety-stenophus Africa produces the
largest, the shell of the agate snail being
eight inches across, but Washington terri
tory, and possibly northern California,
produces an albino-a pure white snail,
known as helix fdelis, that is perhaps the
most striking.

Favorites of the Season.

Among the prettiest of the new sum-
mer woolens is the soft mousseline de
laine, which is as fine and soft as null,
with delicate aud perfectly colored
flowers all over the grounds. which are
nearly always in dark, rich colors.
Gray silk warp Henrietta is another
favorite. 1t is made with a plain bell
shaped skirt, with bands of velvet as
trimming. 1t has all the beauty of silk
and the softness Of fine wool, and is ex-
ceedingly ladyhke.

MARY QUEEN OF SCOTS LIBRARY.
PoeticaI Works Played a Conspicuous
Part in This Queens Collection.

Poetica1 Works Played Conspicuous
Part in This Queens Collection.
Mary Queen of Scots is probably the
only English Sixteenth century woman of
note who was noted for her love of fine
books-and she was less English than
French. Mr.. Julian Sharman has lately
written, and Mr.. Elliot Stock published,
an elaborate monograph on the library of
this unfortunate queen. Mr.. Sharman
sums up the early literary influences which
were at work in Mary's early life with
much tact and wisdom. She was-as our
author states-brought up in a court where
poetry was the serious business of the hour.
The rival claims were those of Marot and
Ronsard.
Of the greater models Petrarch was the
more studied and admired; while so pune
tilious were the canons of literary judg
ment that it was considered a point of lese
majestic to countenance Dante, who, in an
unguarded mood, had portrayed Hugh
Capet as damned soul and the son of a
butcher of Paris. Mary's library was
probably the most considerable that was at
the time in existence north of the Tweed.
AT Edinburgh castle there were, in 1913,
146 books, and at Holyrood palace, in 1869,
there were ninety. Poetical works play a
conspicuous part, but the witty stories of
''Bocas" and the grave Consolation" of
"Boece" perhaps acted upon one another.
Books of Hours there were in plenty. But
the most interesting volume Of all is I'M
questionably a Latin Hours, now in Rus
STA, in which there are very many auto
graph inscriptions, including English no
bility, such as Walsingham, Shrewsbury,
Sussex, Nottingham, Essex, LennOx, Bacon
and Lady Arabella Stuart.
1t also contains some poetry by the queen
herself, besides, in her own handwriting,
two incriptions, ga moi, Marie, R." and
''Ce livre est a moi, Marie, Royne, 1851
This book-than which we know of none
with so many tragic associations-was

was attached to the Russian embassy. The
