Won siemens, First Patent

1t may not be generally known that Won
Siemens applied for his first patent from the
cell of n prison. After graduation from the
artillery school in Berlin the young man.
then only 81 years old, was attached to n
regiment in Wittenberg. 1t was there he
began his experiments, to the great horror
of lbs landlady, who upbraided him day
after day for staining his clothes, furniture
and the window panes with gold. silver and
acid spots. She could not see the use of
wasting money for such things" But Won
Siemens went on with his experiments and
with staining his furniture and clothes
lie became, too, the life of the garrison
and one of it's most popular members. His
popularity, however, led to his taking part
as second in IL duel between two OF his COM
rades. AS Il result he was sentenced to five
years imprisonment in the fortress of
Magdeburg. The landlady was the only
person in Wittenberg who was glad of the
young lieutenant's departure In the cell
In the fortress, however, he was allowed to
lit up a laboratory and there continue his
experiments There, too, Il month after his
incarceration he perfected his method of
galvanic gliding and applied for the patent
from the prison cell.
1t was granted and with it pardon. A
pardon in all probability was never received
with less glee. Sicmens had other expert
ments under way in his prison workshop
and begged TO be allowed to stay awhile
longer and complete them. But the keeper
sent him away with the declaration that
such IL course would be an insult to his
king and commander.-W Worlds Progress

The Thrifty French.

The French in a hundred instances have
turned the lesser things of this earth to
good account. The thrift of nation which
can convert the vermin of it's cities into Oh
jects Of produce is worthy of our admira.
ton, if not of our imitation. The town rat
which of all animals is generally considered
the one most outside of our affection, is
converted into useful member of society
in the Partisan capital Here these crea
tures are collected and placed in the great
pound where the carcass refuse of the city
is thrown. These remains are quickly de.
molished by the rats, who leave only un
tainted skeletons of bones behind them.
The demolishers are, in their turn, de
stroyed themselves. Four times year a
great batteau is effected, aud when next
the little creatures appear it is i'll The form
of that article of worldwide admiration
the giant de Paris; indeed no skin is supe
rior TO theirs, the pliability and strength OF
it rendering it the most suitable for the

Composing While Asleep.

One OF the most remarkable and puZZlinp
eases of somnambulism is one told by the
bishop of Bordeaux. The subject was a
young ecclesastic at the seminary. The
bishop was so deeply interested that he went
nightly to the young mans chamber. He
saw him get out of bed secure paper, COM
pose and write sermons On finishing a
page he read it aloud. When q word dis
pleased him, he wrote correction with great
eXactness. The bishop had seen the begin
ming of some of these somnambulistic SER
mons and thought them we'll composed and
correctly written.
Curious to ascertain whether the young
man made use of his eyes, the bishop put a
card under his chin in such manner as to
prevent him seeing the paper on the table
before him, but he still continued to
write. Not yet satisfied whether or not he
could distinguish different objects placed
before him, the bishop took away the piece
OF paper ON which he wrote and SUBSTITUTE
ed several other kinds ut different times.
He always perceived the change, because
the pieces of paper were of different sizes
When piece exactly like his own was sub
sttuted, he used it and wrote his correc-
tions on the places corresponding to those
on his own paper.
1t was by this means that portions of his
nocturnal compositions were obtained His
most astonishing production was Il piece of
music written with great eXactitude. He
used a cane for a ruler. The clefs. the flats
and the sharps were all in their right places.
The notes were all made as circles, and
those requiring it were afterward black
ened with ink. The words were all written
below, but once they were in such large
characters that they did not come directly
below their proper notes, and perceiving
this he erased them all and wrote them over
again.-St. Louis Globe Democrat.

nad Air Ina nininr Roan.-

Some few years ago was asked by a gen.
tleman, who was celebrated for his choice
wines and dinners, to dine with him. I
usually declined attending dinner for the
reason that the majority of dining rooms
become uncomfortable, IN consequence of the
foulness of the air, before half the dinner
has been got over. Under great pressure 7
accepted this invitation, and soon found
myself seated ut the dining table, with four
other gentlemen, in Il room about 10 feet
square by feet high.
Above the table were three gas iets
burning, and the windows being closed the
room felt close even when we entered it.
The menu which glanced at showed what
an excellent dinner had been provided by
my host, but had scarcely finished INV
oysters and turtle soup when began to
feel sick and giddy. l broke out into a
perspiration, and my heart was beating at
the rate of about 120 minute tried to
take long and rapid breaths, but with no
satisfactory results. There was no help
FOR it. l apologized to my host for being
i'll, but said must leave. On reaching the
open air held on to tho ratings, as felt
weak and giddy, and then breathed as rap
idly rs could. In less than minute all
unpleasant sensations left me, and walked
quietly home, distance of about half a
mile. breathing every now and then dur
ing half n minute or so as rapidly as
could.
On entering my house felt very hungry
and ordered some cold meat and bread and
cheese to be brought me, and from these
unattractive yiands L made an enjoyable
meal, because was in pure air. The host
to whom l refer, although much my junior
in age, has heen dead about five years
Whatever may have been the ultimate cause
of his death, have no doubt that the real
cause was blood poisoning in consequence
of daily breathing vitiated air.-Major

The Importance of Uninjured Fruit.

There is no question about the ilnpor-
lance of so far rs possible preventing the
brIising of fruit. From what has been
said in strong terms concerning the barrier
OF tough skin which nature has placed
upon the apples, it goes without saving
that this defense should not be ruthlessly
broken down. 1t may be safely assumed
that germs of decay are lurking almost
everywhere, ready to come in contact with
any substances. y bruse or cut in the skin
Is therefore even worse than II rough place
caused by II scab fungus as n lodgment pro
vlded by the minute spores OF various sorts.
IL the juice eXudes. it at once furnishes the
choicest of conditions for Inolds to grow.
An apple bruised is a fruit for the decay
oil which germs are specially invited, and
when such specimen is placed III the midst
OF other fruit it soon becomes point of in.
lection for its neiGhbors on all sides. Sci.

Railroads Able to Handle the Tre-
mendous Crowds.
CHICAGO, May 1.-The transportation
facilities to-day to and from the exposi-
ton grounds were given the first trial,
and proved eminently satisfactory. The
bulk of the downtown traffic reached the
grounds over the Illinois Central road in
trains OF eight cars each, which ran at
three-minute intervals. These facilities
will be increased when the occasion de-
mands to twice the present capacity. The
illinois Central handled an average of
seven thousand people an hour. The Cot
tage Grove avenue cable line disgorged
crowds at the exposition gates at the rate
OF five thousand per hour without great
crowding. The elevated system was not
so fortunate as its competitors, for its ter
minal system is not finished, and to-day
IL was literally swamped. The road car
rled about four thousand per hour, but
could have doubled the number under
more auspicious circumstances. Boats
ran at thirty-minute intervals, but the
day was too cold and the lake too rough for
the water route to be popular. Taking
the day, which was considerably heavier
than the average will be, as criterion, it
is safe to say transportation to the expo
sition will be ample for all demands made
upon it

CHICAGO, May 1.-The electric age was
ushered into being in this last decade of
the nineteenth century to-day when
President Cleveland by pressing an
electric button started the mighty ma
chinery and rushing waters and revolv-
ing wheels in the Worlds Columbian
Exposition. No exhibit of the fair that
is to attract thousands to this city from
far and near for the next six months can
be more marvellous than the magical ef-
feet following the solemn opening of the
fair to-day.
OF the multitude of visitors-some esti-
mate the number as high as 200, ,00O-prob-
ably not one fully realized the full inn
port of the effect that was to come from
the arrangement cleverly devised in the
opening of the exposition. 1t was known
in vague way that the President was to
press the golden key and that electric
communication with the machinery was
to start the fair, but no one realized how
intricate was the machinery, how infinite
the ramifications of that electric spark,
until the great fountains threw up their
geysers seventy feet in the air and the
rumble and hum of wheels in the manu-
factures building and the clatter of ma
chinery in all parts of that area of a mile
square or more told the story of the final
consummation of the scientific thought
The lifeless started into being on every
hand, draped statuary shed it's veil and
revealed to the world the artistic labors of
the past eighteen months, and in a mo-
ment all that had been apathy and inert
and inactive through the long hours of
morning sprang into animated existence
and thrilled the multitude and crowned
the triumph of the exposition. In pre-
vious expositions the possibilities of cleo
tricity had been limited to a mere start
ing of tue engines in machinery hall, but
in this it made thousands of servants do
its bidding, and from the great Corliss
engine and mammoth foundations down
to the minutest acts where power and
touch were requisite, the magic of cleo
tricity did the duty of the hour,

tained at dinner by the Worlds Fair
officials. When the dinner was over the
party, with President Cleveland and Di-
rector-General Davis in the lead, were
conducted from the Administration
building and driven around the grounds.
AT the manufacturers building, which
was the first place reached, the Presi
tlal party alighted at the main entrance,
and walked from one end OF the mon
strous edifice to the other. From here
they drove to the north end of the
grounds, among the State buildings and
back along the main drive, past the
horticultural building, to the south end
OF the grounds. After having thoroughly
inspected the White City, President
Cleveland and his party were driven to
Grand Crossing, where they took train
for Washington

FEARFUL CRUSH.
Surging Masses Cause a Jam at the
Exposition Grounds.

Exposition Grounds.
CHICAGO, May 1.-During the dedica-
ton ceremonies to-day there was fear
full crush in the crowd in front. Those
in the rear pressed on those in front to
get withing hearing distance, and these,
them, and so on, until near the front the
jam was terrific. The Columbian guards
were utterly unable to cope with the
surging mass, and those in front pushed
into the reporters quarters. Finally
there came cries of rage and pain; then
the body of woman in a swoon, with
ashen lips and disheveled clothing, was
upborne above the heads of the throng:
then the fainting form of boy was held
aloft in the sinewy arms of a stalwart
negro.
1t was becoming serious matter, and
the blind persistence of the eager throng
threatened death aud panic. The atten-
ticn of the people on the stand was at
tracted to it, and President Cleveland
watched it narrowly. Finally mounted
cavalryman made a difficult passage
through the throng for egress with the
fainting ones, and battalion of United
States regulars widened the space, push
ing the crowd back with the butts of
their muskets. Meantime the proceed
ings ended and serious disaster was
averted.

CHICAGO, May 1.-Jupiter Pluvius held
uplifted his threatening fist over Chicago
this morning. The skies were sodden
and bleak and chilled mist filled the
atmosphere. The bunting throughout
the city was damp and listless. A gen.
eral tone of gloom pervaded the air and
the streets, but to Chicago, where a day
in history was to be distinctly marked.
the weather conditions counted for moth
ing, and early the people were astir, the
bustling, eager spirit of the great West
bounding through every artery of this.
its capital city. The consummation of
the great enterprise of a Worlds Fair
took place to-day, when the myriad
wheels began turning at Jackson Park in
response to the touch of the Nations
Chief Executive, upon golden key that
reached out through an electric train to
the mighty engines which are to the
Worlds Columbian Exposition the vital
moving energy in the great cycle of
events which to-day makes Chicago a.
festal city.
The first point of interest centered at
the Auditorium Hotel, where large
numbers were gathered for a glimpse of
Columbus descendant, the Duke of
Veragua, who, with the members of his
family and committees OF prominent
officials. national, State and municipal,
took carriages about o'clock, and under
military escort drove TO the Lexington
Hotel, at Michigan avenue and Twentieth
street, at which were President Cleveland
and the members of his Cabinet, and
from which point the procession to the
park was to start. The ducal party were
