UPON CHICAGO RIVER.

How the Wonderful Invention of Capt.
Smart Was Greeted by Capt. Kidd.
Col. Aleck Smart, L. 5. A., while not
a great inventor. has creative i.nagi-
nation which he has applied to the or
binary affairs of life with remunerative
sesults.
Col. Smart conceived the idea Of in
Producing the photograph to govern
ment fog-horns. by which ships many
miles ont at sea should be made to
listen to official warnings.
Col. Smart recently induced the
United States to place an Edison pho
nograph in one Of its largest steam
horns located on the pier outside the
lake front at Chicago, in order TO ena-
bic vessels to more easily make port
through the smoke which floats out
from the city.
The other day the good lumber-lug-
ger Star, Capt. Kidd, was feeling its
way towards that port. Capt. Kidd
had previously made the ia,bor by the
odor. color and density of the Chicago
river water. which sweeps out into the
lake for miles. He had not heard of

graph. Having entered the great

the process is reversed and the good
roads talk is coming from the users Of
bicycles in the country. During the
last year thousands OF bicycles have
been bought by the young people who
live on the farms of the country, and
these are naturally anxious for good
roads that they may ride their wheels
as early and as hate in the season as
possible. The purchase Of bicycles by
residents of country districts is in
