Edgefield advertiser. [volume] (Edgefield, S.C.) 1836-current, 1896-05-06

A pathetic story illustrating the re-
markable career of multi millionaire
comes from Chicago where this once
fortunate man has just died pauper
and LIS body been given over to the
dissecting table. 1t appears that in
the early history of the gold finds Mt
Tombstone, Arizona, one Edwin
Fields squatted npon what we're re-
garded ss worthless claims which he
afterwards sold for $500, 900, reserv-
ing the surface, which he sold off in
town lots for as high as So, 600 apiece,
and for years his rents amounted to
81. 900 month. Then he commenced a
career OF extravaganza, aud after milk
ing Tombstone dry went to ST. Louis,
speculated in grain and lost most of
his fortune. Then he went to Chicago
where he was speedily reduced to pow
erty and it became with him q ques-
tion Of getting enough to cat For u
while he worked at various hotels in
the city as store keeper, seldom re-
eeiying more than S14 a month.
Worry and advancing years finally
caused him to succumb. For few
weeks he lay sick at q cheap lodging
house. He was forcibly carried from
there to the hospital, and from thence
after few days to the poor house,
where he died.

Force Of Air Waves.

Professor Boys of London recently
delivered an illustrated lecture in
which he showed photographs of the
Les-Metford bullet as it passed
through quarter inch sheet OF glass.
just before the bullet touched the
nheet the air wave cut q disk OF glass
about half an inch in diameter clean
out. At the same time the glass
around the whole was crushed in.o
powder and driven back at an <.
sremely rapid rate. The glass stuck to
the bullet for short time after it had
passed through, the disk being driven
out In front OF the "bow wave" In
this experiment the waves caused by
the vibrations OF the glass we're plains
ly shown. A photograph Of the bul.
ist after il had cleared tho glass by
nine inces showed the remainder Of
the glass intact, but when the bullet
had proceeded another 16 inches the
sheet Of glass was seen to break and
fill in fragments

Steel construction.in Birds Nests.

A curious gift has been made to
the Natural History Museum of
Soletta. This gift consists of birds
nest, constructed entirely of steel.
There are great Il y watchmakcrs
ut Soletta, and in the vicinity of the
workshops there are always the re-
mains of the old springs of watches,
which have been cast aside.
Last summer matchmaker discov
cred this curious birds nest, which
had been built in tree in his court
yard by pair of water-wagtails 1t
measures ten centimetres in cireum-
ference, and is made solely Of watch
springs. When the birds had fledged
their brood the watchmakers secured
their antique nest as an interesting
proof of the intelligence Of birds in
adapting anything which come
within their reach. .-Lonlon News.
