MEANr TO HOLD UP THE KATY"
But Gave i. Up When they Found the
Gan was Loaded

ST Louis. Oct. IA special 10 the
Republic from Muskogee. l. T., says:
There was a well-laid plot by the Neal
gang TO hold UP the southbound pass
enger train on the Katy" last night
between this city and Checotah, small
town fifteen miles south. Special De
tective Atkins of the Katy" was in the
city and gave the officers the word and
a plan was arranged to head off the
robbers. When the train arrived at
point where it was supposed the at
tack would be made, there was no at
tempt at a Stand-and-deliver game
made. 1t is supposed that the robbers
had been notified from this point that
the game was up. and that there would
be danger in any attempt to rob the
train. One or two men sent cipher
messages to parties al Summit late and
it is supposed that they referred the
fact that the special detective was here.

East midas Flying Frogs.

The East India flying frog is
soarer. His toes are very long. They
are connected by a thin batwing
membrane. When the batraoian IS at
rest the membranous folds are tucked
snugly away between the toes When
the toes arc extended and the mem
brane is taut, the fore part Of the fy-
ing frogs legs are greater in area than
the rest Of his body.
One frog recently captured by a
naturalist was about four inches long.
The skin between the toes Of the hind
feet measured four and one-half
inches, while the area taken up by the
extended skins Of oil four feet ex-
ceeded twelve square inches. The
ends OF the toes are provided with
concaye discs, the peculiar construc-
,tion Of which permits the frog to take
a firm hold of the branches Another
popularity Of this frog is its power to
inhale and store in the body large
volume of dir. BY this means the
body is considerably distended, and
its weight, compared with its bulk,
reduced. This faculty aud the large
surface offered by the membrane be-
tween the toes enables the frog to fly
short distances from branch to
branch.
The back and legs are of lustrous
green color; the stomach and toes are
yellow; the skin between the toes
black and decorated with yellow
stripes.

Eighty Thousand Pianos a Year.

About so, 900 pianos are now being
manufactured annually in America,
and they are practically all for home
consumption. Last year only $40 in
struments were shipped abroad. Most
of them went to South America, but
few were sent to Germany.

cient fire service in the world.

The Emclencr Of Light.

As light is form of energy, its eff.
fciency, with reference to the energy
from which it is generated, admits Of,
circulation if the data are at hand. If
the light is that of an incandescent
lamp, by measuring the amount of
electrical energy supplied in a given
time and the amount of heat given off
in the same time, the difference will
give the amount of energy transformed
into light. 1t has been found that
but from three to five percent
of the energy supplied to an incandes-
cent lamp is transformed into light.
In other words, while an efficient 16-
candle power incandescent lamp of the
present day consumes fifty watts of
electrical energy, but from l. 8 to 81
watts are transformed into light, the
remainder being wasted and appearing
in an obnoxious form as heat at the
lamp. The field thus offered for inn
provement is the greatest and most
tempting in the entire range OF sci
ence, and the inventor who succeeds
in producing light with the accompani-
ment OF but little heat will have
royal reward. In the FREELY nature
has given a solution to the problem. -

WIZARD AT WORK.
The Wonderful Collection In Edi-
sons Laboratory.
Method OF Invention Pursued by
the Great Electrician.

The stororooms of E1ison's lab
oratory contain what Is perhaps the
most wonderful collection Of sub
stances that has ever been brought to-
gethor in the world, and incidentally
gives an insight Of tho methods which
the great electrician pursuos in the
course OF invention.
Here on the shelves aud in drawers
may be found almost every substance
known to the organic and inorganic
kingdom. As examples Of the heter-
ogeneity OF the collection, in one sec
ton Of drawers are score or more
complete fur skins, including seal,
martin, grey fox, sable, cat skins, dog
skins, etc. in another section are
drawers containing albhtross bones,
rhiuoeeros horn. sea horse teeth,
sharks teeth, rhinocoros skin, fish
bladders and innumerable other ami
NAL substances Among the vegetable
substances are even ,aloes, tonka and
other beans, whose connection with
Invention it is difficult 70 surmise.
II is in chemicals, however, that the
richness Of the stores is most appar-
ent. There are literally thousands Of
bottles and packages in the storeroom
in one Of the adjoining buildings (the
chemical laboratory, aud lining the
sides of various rooms in the main
building. In the former two places
the chemicals are classified according
to their nature; in one department
nothing but extracts are seen, in an
other all OF the acids are arranged to-
gether, while again tho various COM
pounds of an element will DO found
collected in groups, as for example,
oil of the BROWNIES, iodines, etc.
These vast collections give a clue to
the method of invention, if such it
may be called, purused by Edison,
though with an inventor of his re-
markable originality any method must
play very subsidiary part Another
illustration, and Que more definite, was
furnished at the time Of the invention
of the incandescent lamp, when an
exhaustive collection of vegetable
fibres was made in order to determine
by a process of elimination, the best
material for fament Many thou
sand specimens we're obtained aud
tested, special expeditions being sent
to several out-of-the-way parts of the
world for this purpose. No less than
1000 varieties of bamboo were ex-
amined, and filaments from 800 of
these made and tested. More
recently the same system was pursued
in Investigations with the Roentgen
rays. Vacuum tubes of the different
kinds of glasses and of different thick
nesses, were systematically tested, the
services of a photographer we're pro-
cured to make every known kind of
sensitive plate, and later every chemi-
cal possessing fuorescent properties,
some scores in number, was in turn
thoroughly tested in order that no
shndow of doubt should exist that
the one thus fixed upon-tungstate of
calcium-was the best. When one
considers inventions, in which such a
process of elimination would seem to
have had no part, the magnitude OF
the collections is the more remarkable.

Evolution of the Bicycle.

The bicycle, with its two wheels
piyotally connected, up to few years
ago was restricted to the use of those
who were acrobatically inclined. The
Introduction of the chain and rear
driven wheel gave us the safety, and
the popularity of the bicycle was
thereby largely increased, although
the most important feature ofall was
yet lacking. 1t was only when the
pneumatic tireTan old idea-was
perfected and applied to it that the
bicycle became the most popular
means of recreation in our day.
