Pay of Former Contributors.

Coleridge took at times an exaggerat-
cd view of his services to The Morning
Chronicle. His surprising statement
that Stuart in 1900 offered him e2 900
a year if he would devote himself to
journalism, that he declined on the
ground that he would not give mp the
reading of old folios' for twenty times
So, 900, and that he considered any pay
beyond $3.50 as q real evil, is obviously
impossible. Stuart probably tried to
spur his indolent contributor by saying
that his services would be worth some
such sum if they could be made regular.
But the statement is only worth notice
here in illustration Of the state of the
literary market at the time. Southey ac-
knowledges his gratitude for the guinea
"a week which he received as Stuart's
laureate.
Poetry, by the way, appears TO have
been more in demand then than at the
present day. Both Perry and Stuart s
elder brother offered to employ Burns,
and Coleridge, Southey, Campbell and
Moore all published poems in the news

knows a lot about pIsciculture and is
fully competent to fill the place. He has
taken considerable interest in the sub

Many white people and d majority of

veteran lumberman. now in the employ
of the Chicago Lumber company. and
living at their yards at 235 Jackson
street He has handled lumber on and
near that corner for the last fifteen
years, which entities him to be called
a pioneer in the business.
But he has had scrofula all his life.
He told the reporter that every cent he
had made outside of a bare living had
been spent in trying to Accumulate
health. One of the effects Of this dis
ease was that thirteen years ago his
right eye became entirely blind. There
appeared to be nothing wrong with the
parts of the eye. but the light was en-
tirely shut out by a thick membrance
that coated the ball. Luckily for the
owner only one eye was thus affected,
the other being reasonably good.
But last Christmas Sales took a lay

Moving and Acting Naturally on

The Serpentine Dance Repre-
scented True to Life.

New York. April 4.-The World this
morning says: Thomas Edison was in
very happy mood when seen by a re-
porter in his laboratory in West Or
ange last night. The great inventor
had about completed another machine,
which he calls the .'vitascOpe." 1t is
an Improvement of the kaleidoscope.
and Mr.. Edison says he has no doubt
that it VIII prove to be a success
The vitascOpe throws on screen by
means of bright lights and powerful
lenses the moving life size figures of
human beings and animals. Last night
in the big foundry building adjacent to
the Laboratory the machine was rugged
up and very satisfactory exhibition
was made
The first picture shown last night on
the screen was a colored panorama of
q serpentine dance by Anabene, Who
posed before the kaleidoscope last sun
mer. The firm roll on which the photo
graphs were attached was arranged
over q half dozen snOOls and pulleys,
and when the machine was set ia mo-
ton the dancers inase appeared upon
the screen, as if in life
The original photographs as taken
by the NinetOgraph and developed on
the roll, are about the size of a special
delivery postage stamp, and to pro-
duce a picture life size are magnided
about 600 times
Mr. Edison expects shortly to be able
to so improve the phOnOgraph that he
will be q ble to take records much long
err than now and the vitascope and
phonograph viii then be so combined
that it win be possible for an audiepce
of an opera and hear the music at the
