A suit Against the nroolsls

A Suit Against the Brooklyn Bridge.
In short time the most important
damage suit that has ever been brought
against the Brooklyn bridge will be
tried. It is for s., 100000, and will in
volve some nice points of law. A
Franco-American inventor named Du
Bois is bringing the suit He claims
that in sinking the caissons of the bridge
certain patents belonging to him were
infringed upon, and that without the use
of his inventions the bridge could not
have been successfully built. So inn
portant does District Attorney Clarke
consider the case, and Of such grave
moment to the interests of the two cit
les, that at his request the services of q
well known patent lawyer have been
secured as counsel, and he has al
ready received from the bridge 81 900 as
a retaining fee.
There is an interesting story told of
Bridge Secretary Henry Beam in con-
nection with the sinking of these cais-
sons. He says that it was at first in
tended by the bridge engineers to sink a
regular Golfer dam, and on this place the
big piles that support the bridge struc-
ture, but that William g. Kingsley OPP
posed this plan, giving as his reasons for
so doing that no ordinary Golfer dam
would hold in the fierce currents of the
East river. Then it was that the sink
ing of the caissons was decided upon.
In other words, they used Golfer dam,
not in the regular fashion, but upside
down. And now the wooden box rests
on bed of rock forty feet below the
bottom of the river
Mr.. Beam says that Mr.. Kingsley
would have been the last man in the
world to have allowed the invention OF
another man to be used in the con-
struction of the bridge without paying
him for it, and that if Du Bois' patents
were infringed upon it was by accident
and because the bridge engineers did not
know that that style of Golfer dam had
been patented. Brooklyn Eagle

A New Instrument

A scientific instrument has been gotten
up by Professor Bigelow which is called
the aurora inclinometer. By extensive
researches he has found that the same
law which underlies the working of cleo
tricity and magnetism is operating on
the sun, and that sunlight is a magnetic
field in which the magnetized earth ro-
tates as does the armature of a dynamo.
The instrument will be sent to Alaska,
where it will be used in the study of the
aurora, as it is there seen in the best con-
ditions. New York Times.

 He was an intelligent ChinamAn, and he spoke English we'll. He had accumulated enough money to keep him in comfort for for the rest of his days, and he was going back to China to enjoy it. asked him why he didn't stay in America.
 "Because can't" he replied, bitterly; because they won't let me. am an edu- cate1 man. have the feelings of gentle man am imbued with the spirit of modern progress; I believe in the steamship and the railroad and electricity, and all the phases of industry-in a word prefer America to China. But here I will find myself hemmed in by by an iron wall of prejudice. Do what will, go where will, l run up against it. It causes all doors where I might seek intellectual recreation to be closed against me; it causes the fin ger of scorn to be pointed at me; it stamps me as a heather, as & man whose presence acts as a blight and a curse upon the coun- try. The Irishman, the Italian, may come here and begin at the lowest round of the social ladder and climb to the top. But the Chinaman is doomed forever to remain at the bottom. He is industrious, he doesn't stab, he doesn't become a psuper, and yet he finds everybody hates him; everybody despises him; nobody wants him.
 "And yet" continued the Chinaman,
 scornfully, "thsy wonder that when we make money we go back to China. I am going book to China because there I shall
 be respected while here I am dispised; be- there shall amount to something, while here if I should live to be hundred could never amount to anything.

 SPRINGFIELD, Mass, Aug. 19.-The Hampden Park management were favored with excellent weather for the second day of the grand circuit meeting. Tue track was in fair condition and some speedy heats were made. About 4, 900 persons st- tended. The surprise of the day was the defeat of Harry McNair, the favorite in the 2:SO trot and leading the field in the pools. He could not get better than third place, and in the fourth heat was drawn while the bottom went out of the pool box. The favorite, little Albert, was the winner of the S5,000 Hampden park stake for 2:22 trotters, but he had to sweat to do it, for he was pushed hard in every heat The unfinished 2:25 race for trotters looks like walk over for Play Boy, who won two heats very handily.
