Edison, the Wizard, Has a Problem
in Hand
One Of the objects of the visit of
Thomas A. Edison, the inventor, to
Allentown, Pa, day Or two ago was
getting ideas for use in his new mag
netic ore concentration, which he ex-
poets will work revolution in the
iron business. He was also studying
the working Of the furnaces with a
view of perfecting another invention
which he has on hand for the charging
of furnaces by machinery, by which
he hopes to greatly cheaper the pro-
duction Of iron.
He has already introduced similar
machinery in his ore mines in New Jer-
sey, whereby the ore is brought to
the surface at a small expense. Iu
talking of bis inventions for the treat
ment of ores and the operation of fur
naces, he said he expected soon to be
able to place northern furnaces once
more in q position to compete sue
cessfully with those in the South. By
means of his magnetic concentra tor,
he will take 25 per cent Of ore, and, by
removing the foreign matter, convert
it into bricks that contain sixty per
cent Of iron,-Philadeipbia Ledger.

A Princess Incog.

Princess Teresa, daughter Of the king
regent of Bavaria, has been visiting the
worlds fair. Although famous woman
Of Europe, her presence in Chicago was
known by only a half-dozen persons,
for she came alone, excepting the pres
ence of a maid, and neglected no pre-
caution to keep her identity unknown.
Princess Teresa is about thirty-hve
years old and unmarried. She has ac-
quired some reputation as an author
and is a member of the Academy OF
Sciences of Munich, and has been all
over the world, and invariably travels
as an everyday sightseer. She has
just completed an extended trip in
South America, and took occasion to

Eating Five Necktfes.

The Munich correspondent Of the
Paris Steele sends a curious story of
student who, in order to win a bet,
swallowed five silk necktfes. The event
took place in n beer house in Schwan-
berg. The conditions were that the
neckties should be cut into pieces and
dressed as Il salad with oil, salt, vine
gar and pepper, and this original mix
ture should be swallowed within six
minutes. The student performed this
difficult operation in five and one-half
minutes, and washed down the salad"
with no less than ten litres Of beer.

A New Enamel for Metals.

/ The protection Of metals from rust
and other atmospheric influences has
been the subject of many recent pat
ents, and of those the newest is for an
enamel for gas apparatus and decora-
tive work OF all kinds. For decorative
effect the capabilities of this enamel
are great. All colors, the most delicate
tints in any number. either dead or
bright, and both gold and silver, also
either duh or polished, are obtainable
in the same casting, and all alike are
unchangeable, being affected neither
by exposure to the air nor to any heat
up to Il bright red. The film of enamel
is so thin that the most microscopic de-
tails of the metal are unchanged.
Castings protected in this manner are
not only capable of fine artistic treat
ment, but they are also claimed to be
absolutely permanent and proof against
dirt and smoke, which disfgure other
work so rapidly.

SpeakinE Of the pheuominal tnesease
of nce production within the past Sen
years. which has been in round num-
bers nearly six hundred per cent, the
Times Democrat arges the necessity of
creating market BY advertising its
value and encouraging its use as an
article Of diet, and especially making
use Of the opportunity afforded by
he Worlds Exposition at Chicago.
The Importance Of this suggestion
cannot be overestimsted when We con
slider that no such favorable Oppor-
tunity will ever occur, not for gene,
raGions al least, for doing 50 as eheaply
and efficiently.
Tho crop this year win all be
needed for home consumption; but
lei the same ratio Of growth that has
marked the rice industry in The past,
be continued for the next five years
and We will NOT be able to consume
ous-half Inc product in this country,
unless it comes into more general nse
as food product.
We do not know how It is in the
other pariahea, but we will say for
Caloasieu that in spite Of the low
prices Of the past few months, The in
creased acreage the coming season will
put in the shade the figures Of all pre-
yioua years. Furthermore, improved
methods, improved machinery and i'm
proved seed will largely increase the
yield per acre. Tens Of thousands Of
dollars are being expended in iFri.
eating and other machinery and in
Building dams, ditching etc. The
farmers from the north, especially
from the great wheat states, are pour
ing into this country and they all take
kindly to rice culture and, as we have
remarked before in these columns,
the result win anrely be more and
cheaper rice. We do not apprehend
that the price for good rice will ever
fall below the cost Of the production,
II economical methods are pursued,
bnt the necessity Of widening our
market is very important and all who
are interested, either directly OF indi-
rsctly in the subject, should lend
helping hand.
Next to the rice planter, and the
rice miller, the railroads will be the
most benefited BY the making Of rice
d universal food product, as it is only
grown in comparatively limited sec
tioB Of the country, and millions Of
dollars will be earned BY the transpor
tation companies in carrying it TO con.
sumers at distance, and they can
afford to pay literally towards defray.
ing the expense Of rice exhibit on
large scale At Chicago. An oppor-
tnnity will there be afforded for inter
esting the people Of all nations in the
dietetic value Of rice and Mother time,
labor, nor expenae should be spared
in The accomplishment Of this end.
As the greatest rice parish Of the
greatest rlce state II behooyes us 10
keep this matter ever TO the front.
