Tesla and Edison.

ton of electricity to the industrial arts
belong distinctly to America, and it is
here that the most remarkable inven-
tions have been made. Perhaps this is
owing to our dry, stimulating climate,
but at any rate thus far Europe has done
little else than repeat our inventions and
apparatus. The two leaders in the field
Of electrical invention are Edison and
Nikola Tesla, representing two rival
companies, the Edison and the Westing-
house. It is notable that both these
made great discoveries early in life. Edi-
son was very young when he figured out
the monograph, and a mere STRIPPING
when he invented duplex telegraphy.
Tesla is as yet only S6, and his great>dis-
covery of rapid alternating current was
made some years ago. One of the re-
suits of it is that an electric glow like
daylight may be produced between the
opposite walls of a room by simply hay
ing metallic wall paper and connecting
it with the central generating plant.
Edison, the wonderful young Ameri-
can, was educated in the telegraph Office
mainly and has not much Of an opinion
of porting over books. Tesla, on the other
hand, is the product of the best poly
technic schools Of his native country,
Austria. He is from the province of
Croatia, but came to America at the age
Of 80 because he had read that the
United States was a great field for am
bilious young electricians. Which wiz
ard is greater, the American who was
educated in practical life or the Austrian
American who had the learning of a
scientific school besides, it will be for the
future to determine.
Edison's past successes and future ex-
pectations are sufficiently well known.
Tesla has perfected apparatus which will
produce an alternating current of 1,OO0,-
900 alterations per second, such rapid
waves, in fact, that they cause no effect
on the human body. He has produced
a fame which lights without making

they are wanted for warming house or
for cooking. Thus the light will not

invention he has made he declares him

alton. IF he can give the world ozone in
such quantity then nobody need ever
die Of consumption or suffer for want OF
fresh air. He has made an electrical
current flow through vulcanite, hither-
to regarded as the ingulator nearest per.
feet Of any known. He says he has
found five different kinds Of electrical
discharge, from an enthusiastically thin
thread to a huge stream of light. These
are some Of the claims Of electrical wiz.

Why He Married.

Fifty years ago ''Uncle Harry
was well-known resident of a
village in the Old Colony, writes a
correspondent. Slow of speech
and action, he was reputed to.be
E'easy-going.'' He had lived to
the age of seventy without a wife,
and it was openly said that he was
''too lazy to 60 courting''- which
of course marked him as a very
lazy man indeed.
One day the village was startled
by the news of Uncle Harry's mar
liage. Shortly afterwards, the
squire, as the one lawyer of the
place was called, happened to be
driving past Uncle Harry's farm,
and seeing the old man in the yard,
stopped for a little gossip. The
bridegroom, visibly ''smartened
up" was respondent with happi-
ness.
"You seem so we'll contented,
how did it happen you never mar
ried before?'' asked the squire.
'$Idunno," drawled Uncle Harry.
GIVE had marriage feelin's come
over me lots O times, but they
never lasted long 'nough fer me
ter git anywheres.'
''But this time they lasted?''
"Wall, no, not eggzactly; you
see, Eunice come along an stayed!''
Grand Forks-Uncle Jerry Rusk
advises the farmers to raise more
hogs and less talk about the price
of corn. He says this year five
pounds of hogs bring as much as
a bushel of corn. When the farm
ers all decide to commence raising
hogs there is reason to believe that
it will take ten pounds of hogs to
balance a bushel Of corn. In the
meantime the sensible farmer will
probably practice little diversity
and raise few pigs on the side.
The blind variety thrive best in
North Dakota as they are brought
up on the bottle thus saving freight
by importing the corn juice.

The Style Journalistic.


We have not yet heard Of that personal
encounter" by which two great editors
were to mutually soothe their outraged
feelings. But in the same town in
space Of 10 days three reporters and two
editors were arrested and put under
bonds to keep the peace, and it was not

either. We have endeavored to find out
the cause of this fiery eruption in peace

haps as it is set forth in the following
excerpt from an able editorial I'M the

cited editors. AS specimen of vigor-

have place in textbook for De Blowitz's
celebrated school for journalism. What
this writer does not know about vigor-

On the whole, there is only one Amer
