A Stroue Puff for Edison.

The London Telegraph puts aside
insular prejudice for a moment to
call Thomas Edison "the gifted
electrician, the real magician, the
real wonder-worker, the wizard
whose rod has been as that of
Aaron, and has swallowed up all
the other enchanters' baguettes,'
whose fame has become worldwide,
who never had more than two
months schooling, and who began
life at the age of twelve as rail-
way newsboy." Mr.. Edison has
had surfeit of praise, but he will
probably regard this, when he con-
siders it source and all, as the very
climax of compliments. AID hap
PLY it is well deserved. The in
ventor says, by the way, that it is
from England that he gets most of
the profits from his inventions.

A Sky Climbing Spiral That Worlds Fair

It looks as if Chicago had not got over
the notion of having a tower for the fair.
At any rate, the mechanical geniuses
have not stopped making designs for one.
One of these is an ingenious spiral af-
air, the invention of Carl L. Lehman
of the Windy City. The dimensions are
not obtainable, nothing being said even
about the height, from which it may
perhaps be inferred that the idea of out
Eiffeling Eiffel has been abandoned. A
description Of the design is thus set forth
in the New York Safety Valve:
The spiral is from bottom to top, hay
ing no supplemental support above the
foundation. The weights and the iron
and steel trusswork have been so calcu-
lated as to leave a large margin of safety,
everything being based on well known
and proved formulas of stress and sup
portable strain. THERE'S to be a terrace

SENATOR PASCO. uate OF Harvard
who fought on the Confederate side dur
ing the war and remained private
throughout the conflict, and he has the
additional distinction of being the only
private soldier TO achieve congressional
honors. His appointment for month,
to await the meeting of the legislature
which will elect his successor, is quite
unique, and the history of his election to
the senatorship in 1887 also makes re-
markable story. In 1880 and 1884 he was
candidate before the Democratic con-
vention for the gubernatorial nomina-
ton, withdrawing both times, first in
favor of Governor Bloxham and again in
favor OF Governor Perry. Both these
gentlemen were opposed to him in the
senatorial fight in 1887, and he again
withdrew in their favor, but the Demo-
cratic members of the legislature stam-
peded and elected him. It will be re-
membered, too, that he succeeded the er-
ratio Senator Jones, who devoted so
much more time to lovemaking in De
troit than to his duties in the senate.
Another notable thing about him is
that in the senate he is known as the
man who never votes. He is always in
his seat and is one of the most punctual,
attentive and hardworking of the sena-
tors, but he is very easy going and good
natured, and his brother senator's take
advantage of this fact, and he is always
paired. 1t is said that he absolutely
cannot refuse when any senator de-
sires to arrange a pair with him, and
whenever q yea and nayvote is taken and
he rises in his seat everybody knows
what is coming, and that he is not going
to vote.
Senator Pasco is by profession law
yer and has been prominent in Demo
cratic politics in Florida ever since he
went there in 1859. He has been presi-
Dental elector at large for his state, a ma
tional committeeman since 1880 and was
chairman of the state committee from
1876 to 1888. He was born in London in
1884 and brought to America by his par
ents when very young, first to Prince
Edward island and then to Massachu-
sets, where he was educated and lived
till 1859, when he went to Florida to take
charge of school at Monticello, in which
place he has ever since resided.

noes, Wonderful Smell.

1t has often been proved that dogs
are able to track their masters through
crowded streets where it would be inn,
possible to attribute their accuracy to
anything except the sense of smell
alone. A naturalist once made some
interesting experiments as to this
power as exhibited in his own dog. In
these tests the naturalist found that
his dumb friend could follow in the
tracks of his master, though he was far
out of sight, and that, too, after no less
than eleven persons had followed,
stepping exactly in the tracks made by.
his master, it being the deliberate In.
tention to confuse the senses of the dog
If possible. Further experiments
proved that the animal tracked the
boots instead of the man, for when tho
naturalist put on new footgear the deg
failed entirely. &. sIS

SETTER THAN PARIS GREEN.

An Insect Which Slaughters Potato Buss
to. the Point of determination.
At last a bug has arrived which is a
friend of the farmer. This stranger of
the insect world is not only a friend,
but it has begun war of extermina-
ton upon the farmers most relentless
foe, the potato bug. The debut of this
little beast has sent a thrill of Joy
from one end of Berks county, Pa, to
the other. No more paris green to
sprinkle upon potato tops, no more
poisoned meal to feed the pests, and
no more crops devoured in midsummer
by the hungry hordes of potato bugs.
John Rotherrnel. of Hyde Park, first
encountered this noble little ally of
the agriculturist and tells Philadel-
phia Record man that when he first
saw the insect it was slaughtering po-
tato bugs at the rate Of ten a minute.
The genial hotel proprietor and
farmer had paris green kettle in his
hand at the time. He stopped sprink-
ling and gazed. Before him was a bug
of species never seen by the Berk
people before. 1t was twice as large
as potato bug, of longer and s1ighter
build. and had red wings. This bug
would pounce upon a clumsy potato
eater, sting it in the neck, and produce
corpse almost instantly. Then
Rotherlnel looked about and saw other
creatures of the same kind, and
all were killing potato bugs. So
fierce and untiring were they in their
onslaught that not living potato bug
was left in their path. They piled the
ground with little winrows of their
slain victims. They went down rows
of potato vines and from one row to
another with a force that was ire
sistible to the potato bug. The lat
ter were swept to death before their
strange foe as Napoleon's columns
cleared the field of Austerlitz. Since
Mr.. Rothermel made this important
discovery other farmers have seen the
new bugs in their fields. They are alb
solute exterminators of potato bugs
and, best of all, they do not eat the
crop. Farmers not yet visited by
these new allies will colonize them in
their potato patches. 1t is expected
that this bug will have the effect Of
producing big yield Of potatoes.

YANKEES DON'T LIKE WORK.

Automatic Accomplishment 81 Labor
Their idea of Mans Mission.
The Yankees antipathy to work has
never yet been adequately appreciated.
He is in state Of perpetual insur-
rection against the primal curse, says
writer in Scribner's Magazine. He
feels that he was born to sit On the
fence and white in the sunshine, and
he is against every apparent necessity
that would compel him to forego the
serene pleasures of a purely contemp-
lative existence. He recognizes, to be
sure: that work has got to be done. No
one has more vivid realization of
that. But the consciousness Of the
need of getting things done does not
impel him to take his coat off and do
them, so mucl, rs to contrive some
way of accomplishing ends without
working. The crudest way Of doing
that is to get rich enough to hire labor.
Accordingly the Yankee does try to
get rich, and does not try in vain. 1t
is not that he loves money SO much
and desires to possess it as that he
loves labor so little. But to get rich
is only an indirect way of beating the
tyrant. The Yankee would rather
abolish work than elude it. If he can
get it done without human interven-
ton at all he likes that best, and, il
he cannot wholly eliminate human
intervention, he wants to reduce it to
it's lowest possible limit. When ne
gets matters fixed SO that the work is
done with very little intermeddling,
he is willing to sit by and supervise
the process. He will put a lever and
turn cock now and then without
much complaint, if so be it that he can
ruminate and white. His name is a
synonym for energy and persever-
ance. But to make things work to-
gether for the automatic accomplish
ment of labor, and to sit by and see
that they work right-that is the
Yankee idea of the mission of man.

FOUR MEN KILLED.

Fatal Result Of a Powder Mill Explosion
at Pittsburg, ILL
ST.. LOUIS, Aug. Sat o'clock Tues
dav afternoon two small buildings be-
longing to the Phoenix Powder COM
pany plant at Pittsburg, Ill, 9 miles
north of here blew up. The list of
deaths is as follows: Luther Erde,
John Elliott, B. Hickman and Charles

the breaking of shaft in the stamp
mill, which produced sufficient friction
to ignite the powder. The loss is not
accurately known, but will be mainly
on machinery worth about $4,000.
