When they reached their mansion, at a

An Eight-Foot Spark.
London Engineering


At the recent Royal Society Conversations
Mr.. James Wimhurst gave another proof OF
his fertility OF invention by an entirely new
demonstration. He had number of
metalzed surfaces nine feet long, covered
with copper, TIN, brass and other metals.
At each end of such a surface he
placed Leyden jar, some OF the
lars were coated with tin and others with
bass. When the jars we're charged from
one of his large machines they threw out
sparks over the coated surface. the color
depending on the metal employed with
brass they were a vivid green, with tin
dazzling white. At first the sparks ap-
peared at the edges of the Jar, and as they
gathered strength radiated beyond them:
Gradually they became like adders'
tongnet, darling in all directions, and beat
Ing themselves on the metal surface In a
futile attempt TO get away to earth. At
length the tension rose until the cleo
tricity found itself able to fling itself over
the entire distance from Jar to jar. and the
was seen.

Value OF Simple Inventions.

The man who patented the idea Of attach
Ing rubber tips TO lead pencils realized over
$1,000 by his invention. The miner who
first attached a metal rivet at each end of
the mouth of the trousers pockets, to resist
the strain of heavy bits of ore, made more
money than if he had found gold mine
while he who first devised the small metal
plates to protect shoe heels realized S250.000
In a few years. The glass bells to hang
over gas jets, and thus protect the ceiling
from smoke. made large fortune for their
inventor. while the inventor of the roller
skate made over 81, 600, 000 The copper tips
to shoes made their inventor q millionaire,
and the gimlet screw has piled up a dozen
fortunes for its prOprietors. Even toys
have made their inventors rich, and fortunes
have been realized from the dolls that close
their eyes, dolls that cry, balls with return
string and puzzies-in fact, almost any de-
vice that sells in great quantities, however
Insignificant it may seem, Is certain to
bring very large returns to its owner.

STOCK NOT WATERED.
One of the Good Points About Railways
I'm England.

I'm England.
New Orleans Times-Demoerat
The English railroads were far more ex-
peEsiye to build than ours. They had to
pay for the land, aud land Is valuable In
England; and the cost of depots, etc. was
much higher than here, where all the land
is given free and often bonus in the way
Of city and county bonds for the location OF
machne.shops. etc. When it Is considered
that the English roads cost so much more
and get none of this assistance. one would
think that 1t was far moro difficult to pay
dividends on the stock there than here. but
this does not seem TO be the case.
A Parliamentary inquiry conducted by
the British Labor Commission into
the English railroads. and more particu-
larry into the wages paid employees, shows
a condition OF affairs highly creditable to
them. The amount OF money invested in
railroads Is S4.4S5. 000.00 and authorized
capital $4,000, 100000. 1t is here that the
defects in our railioad system become ap-
parent. The laws creating the British rail-
roads keep their capital down very close to
their actual cost; whereas. here the stock is
watered time and time again, until often
the capital OF the company represents
barely 10 per cent Of the money expended.
''Water" is the reason why SO many Ameri-
can railroads default In the payment OF
their dividends. The gross receipts per
annum of the English roads are ESQ. 600, 600;
but the working expenses reduce this by
moro than one-half. and the net earnings
amount to e43, 100000 annually. The Eng
iisn roads. therefore, pay average dividends
Oh nearly per cent as per cent to be ex-
ac.i, which Is far above what our roads do.
Anolher point inquired into by the CON-
mlssion-and it was the matter most inves-
tlgated by twas In regard to wages. The
evidence submitted showed that the num-
Der of men employed by the English CON-
panies Is in the neighborhood of $50, 900.
This is much larger number in proportion
to mileage than are employed In this coun-
try, and proves that the British roads are
better equipped-one OF the reasons why
there are fewer accidents there than here.
1t was also shown that the men had fully
shared In the prosperity OF the companies,
and that their pay had increased more rap
idly in the last eight years than tho gross
receipts, the improvement In wages being

Streetcars In Bombay are m ostly of Amer

streetcar lines are Americans. When il was
proposed, not many years ago, TO start such
lines, Europeans proDhesied their failure
