pr0yemelt III the microscope itself and
everything connected with it. There
is need for a place where the worker
may lind everything OF value which has
been invented or devised, and an Cd.
portunity to learn or TO test it's value
by actual comparison or in use. If
our universities will furnish the plant
and the instructors, they will do, i'll
better and more thorough way. what
the micrOscopical societies of Europe
and America have been trying to do;
or perhaps will make only more salts
factOrlly clear the advantage to science
Of such societies, by giving to every
student the ground work which will
ensure not only his progress but his
lasting interest in these technical
studies. At some length the speaker
then analyZed the lines Of work which
open to the nicroScopical student. and
Of the questions in technique CT i'll con
struction which may fairly be said TO
be still undecided. Then followed Il
very interesting story Of the use Of the
microscope in the hands Of all users
from the novice to the expert. Mr..
Cox pointed out hindrance to the
rapid advancement Of micrOscopical
science which applies as well to the
advancement Of other movements. 1t
is the tendency to follow leaders too
closely. In microscopy, Mr.. Cox said,
the remedy for this is the opportunity
for proving all things by the syS
tematic study Of technique under fay
orable conditions a fresh, bright mind
in a laboratory, when encouraged to
use his own ingenuity, is constantly
surprising us by the fertility Of his
invention and the rapid progress be
will make. Give him the same OppOr-
tIInity in comparing the merits Of his
instruments and apparatus. Supply
him with good examples Of all the
different styles and kinds. Free him
from bondage to any tradition and
stimulate him to use his own powers
here as you do in pure science, and |
cannot doubt he will surprise us, not
only with the Justice Of his choice, but
with still greater Improvement III all
that makes investigation with the
microscope sure and easy. In closing
Mr.. Cox emphasized the point that the
university is the proper place to ad-
vance this work and called upon the
society Of which he is president to do
all it can in seeing that the desired end
is accomplished.
The Microscopical association will
continue its work at 10 O'Clock this

A GREAT FIRE.
Minneapolis Passes Through the Worst
Ordeal i'll Its History.

Minneapolis, Aug. 1.-Two fires,
both probably incendiary, did &1,15O,-
600 damage in Minneapolis yesterday.
One fire broke out in the rear of the
Cedar Lake Ice company's house. From
there ii spread to Clark's box factory,
and then DESTROYED the boiler works
of Lintges, Council & Co. Lenhart's
Union Wagon works We're totally con
sumed, also a quantity of lumber be
longing to various firms.
While the fire was at its height an
alarm was turLed in from the lumber
district at the other end of the island.
This was blazing tiercely, and the
flames soon began eating their way
among the big s;,w-mills and resi-
dences in the vicinity Of the river
bank. One after another the planning
mills of the Wilcox company, the Chat
terton mill. the Backus mill. the Hove
mill, Smith & Corrigan, and Nelson,
Tenny & Co. We're either destroyed Or
badly damaged. The flames were prac-
tically stopped by the big brick struc-
ture of the Minneapolis Brewing COM
pany, although their loss is put at
$4,000. All along Marshall street
and through that entire section are
small frame houses occupied by labor
ing and SlW-miu hands. They went
like finder.
The fire WAS stopped at Twentieth

ENTOMOLOGISTS.

| The first session Of the fifth annual
! meeting of the Association of Econom-
ic EntomOlogiSts was also held III
| science hall, at the university at 10
O'Clock Monday morning. On account
of change i'll dates and little mis-
understanding, the attendance at the
first days session was not large, but
it is expected that it will reach that of
any previous year before this meeting
is ended Mr.. S. A. Forbes, of Cham
paign. H., is president of the aSsocia-
ton In his address delivered ut the
opening of the meeting, he reviewed
the work Of the official entomoloSIStS
in the different states, and suggested
means by which the results Of their
work might be made Of more benefit
to farmers. He urged a simplitica-
Of reports. The first paper was read
by j. RitZcnIa BoS, of Wageningen,
Netherlands. the title being Phyto-
myza affinis, Fall, as 4 Cause of De
cay in ClematiS Mr.. BoS is recOg-
nized as one of the leading entomolo-
giStS Of the world, and has published Il
work on the subject which is regarded
as authority. He edits an entomO-
logical paper at his home. Mr.. l.. O..
Howard. first assistant in the entomo-
logical division of the departments OF
agriculture at Washington, read Il pa
per on Methods of Studying the Life
Histories of Injurious Insects, and ut
the afternoon session read another on
Mosquito Treatment. The latter was
especially interesting. Mr.. Howard
says that by experiment he has proved
that mosquitoes can be readily
killed by the use OF common
Kerosene Pour little kerosene on 4
ponds surface when the pcsky insects
are terminating. and it will destroy
millions Of them. Methods of Combat
ing Insects which Attack Forage
Plants was the title of Il learned paper
read by II. Osborn professor OF zo-olo-
~ 1T the Iowa Agriculture college,
NmcS. Ii The last paper presented
was by Mr. J. B. Smith, of New
Brunswick. y. j., state entomOlogist
and professor of entomology at Rut-
gers college He recommended the
use of chemical fertilizers in preference
to the traditional barn yard manure.
The meeting of the entomologistS
will be continued at ten O'Clock this
morning and several interesting papers
will be read.

THE FIRST STREET CAR
us Builder Has Just Passed AWAY in
New York.

'ohn stephenson, builder of the first
street car, us we'll as of the first ON
NOUS, and one of the largest MANN
IdctuferS of street cans, died at his
home near New Rochelle, n. v Julv
81, being 81 years old. Stephenson
was born in Ireland, but his father
was English and his mother Scotch.
when he was two years old he WAS
brought to this country by his parents:
he was educated at WESLEYAN Semi
nary. New York city, and apprenticcd
10 a Watch-Inaker In his 22d year he
designed and built the first omnibus.
which soon Supplanted the old Broad
way stages, and led to large bust
ness; the next year, 1882, he invented
and patented the first street car for
the New York and Harlem street rail
read company. In 1886 he built a fac
tory to accommodate the large omni-
bus business which had developed, but
went down in the crash of 1897. and
llqlldated at 90 cents on Il dollar
After he had rc-cStabliShcd himself i'm
business, and bought Il new factory
site. which took six years labor and
saving, he devoted himself to paving
his debts, which he did not consider
discharged because the law said they
were. This incident is told bv the

Mott, who refused to take the money.
declaring that the failure was an hon
est one, but WREN Mott aftcrward or
dered Il truck Stephenson built il and
sent it with Il receipt indorsed, RE
Celved payment by the bankruptcy
debt, John Stephenson" Mott then
dr"ped the truck with bunting and
drove it through the streets, with the
following legend in large letters on
both sides Of the truck: This is the
way Il bankrupt pays debts His
name is honest John Stephenson"
Mr.. StephenSOn's new factory was
located on Twenty seventh street, near
Fourth avenue, and he bought the
site for 500, u city lot; property in
that region now brings near $4,000
"a lot There he remained, and there
the business will be continued by his
sons. He built coaches and omnibuseS
entirely, after his Harlem failure, and
the street car only began to drive out
the omnibus about 1862, since when
the Stephenson works have supplied
cars to most of the European cities,
to Australia, New Zealand and South
Africa, as we'll as the United States.
In the course of the civil war Mr..
Stephenson did much work for the
government, in the line of gun car
riageS, and on IN emergency he built
70 pontoons in II days; for his we'll
knCWn patriotism his factory was
threatened by the mob in the draft
riots of 1863. John Stephenson had
a distaste for politics, and never held
an office except that Of school trustee.
He was Il Methodist and always inter
cSted in church affairs, especially in
the Sunday schOol, and in his later
years had led a large Bible class in
the church at New Rochelle. He was
, fond of music was in his prime q mem
Der Of the Sacred Music society and
, the Harmonic society, and prided him

In 1883 Mr.. Stephenson married Julia,
sister of ex-Mayor Daniel Tiemann,
and she with their two sons and q
married daughter survive him.
