A year ago the eleven-year- son
of Oliver Canaday, farmer living
near Linwood, Ind, was kicked over
the right eye by mule. 1t destroyed
the sight in that eye. A month ago,
while working in a hay loft, he got
dust in his good eye and was com
PEELED to bandage it for some time.
During that time the blind eye seemed
to undergo change, and he was able
to see objects in dark room. He
finally was able to see things in dark
room as plainly with his bad eve rs he
was able to see them in the light with
his good but crippled eye. He can
not, however, see anything with the
bad eye in light. The darker II
room the more distinctly do things
stand out. He is, in short, fitted
with day and night eye. Since he
found what freak he possessed ON
his right side he has been educating
it, and he finds it rather convenient to
be supplied with eyes for all occa-
sions. The eye that was injured is in
appearance as good as the other,
though the sight for day use is entire
ly gone. Those who have given the
strange case an examination state that
it is without an equal in optical enig-
mas. 1t is thought that the same
theory will account for this rs that
which accounts for man being able
to see the stars when in the bottom of

The rightful heir to the throne OF Greece

Palaelogae- Nicepharae-C Commence, who is
the lineal descendant OF the PalaeolOgus, o
family compared to which the present reign
ing mOnarchs Of Europe are OF mushroom
growth. She unites In herself the claim OF
all the dynastes who from the time OF Con-
stantine until the fall Of ConstantinOple, oc-
cupied the throne OF the Eastern Caesars.
Her father. Prince Christoforo. was candi-
date for the throne In 1868. when the powers
placed George. the Dane. on the throne.
The secret societies, mentioned so frequently
In accounts Of the recent war, are societies
whose purpose is the restoring OF the natu-
raj monarch to the throne. The princess
was born ut Malta about As years ago and Is
the mother OF two sons and daughter.
The Queen OF England and her cabinet are
opposed to reinstating the rightful monarch
for political reasons. The Gar Of Russia,
however. Is her friend. 1t is possible she
may succeed to the throne OF George OF
Greece aud the Sultan Of Turkey.

Cost of SolOmOn's Temple.

A noted statistician and investiga-

pandus, the talents of gold, silver
and brass were equal to the enormous

of the jewels is placed at figure
equally as high. The vessels of gold,

Edison is familiar, have never heard Of this
youthful scientist, yet he has had large
part in experiments and discoveries which
Years Years he has spent most of his waking and
many OF his sleeping hours in the labora-
tories of his father. All these matters he
has known from his youth up, and he enters
upon his manhood with wonderful equip
ment of knowledge.
But why did he not stay with his father2
Why not be partner instead OF rival? The
explanation calls up curious picture. Fig
uritively speaking, one bright morning
last August Edison called the young man to
him, and spake thus Thomas, my son,
you know almost us much as your father,
but what 20 i know will never be OF use to
you until you know men. Get out, Thomas
and study men. Brush up against the world
fora while and let us see what you are made
of. You have good ideas. Work them. Good
morning." So the young man started out
four months ago. with head full OF ideas
and lusty desire to make himself heard In
the worlds noisy traffic. Today he HAS an
office in a big Broadway building, and the
big electrical manufacturing companies with
the long titles and the capital OF many mil
lions are studying this young man with great
care, while pretending that they are not
aware Of his existence. This Is n hollow
pretence, however, for he has attacked them
in their own strongholds. He has invented
n device which. he says, is only the first
OF series Of approved appliances
in various lines OF electrical work.
1t Is an incandescent lamp. similar to
the one now in use to the inexperienced
eye. but possessing, it Is said, many ad-
vantages. He calls it the edison Junior"
with conscious pride. and claims for 1t
superiority over all others In the important
details of vacuum and fllament. To achieve
these results, the young man designed his
own pump, and says that with 1t he can ex-
haust 10 lamps to high degree of perfec-
tion in less time than is required by the
ordinary vacuum pumps to exhaust one
lamp. The fllament is his own invention,
also-a chemical combination, carbon
lied at 1000 degrees fahrenheit -
making 1t as near absolutely pure
carbon as it Is possible to obtain.
Curiously enough, neither the pump nor the
fllament has been patented. my fathers
experience has taught me to steer clear OF
the patent Office" he said. "He has taken
out scores Of patents, but he has spent as
much money and time fighting to uphold
them, guess, as they are worth. am GO
ing to keep my ideas to myself. Secrecy Is
q better safeguard than patent, any time"
This young man, who at 81 challenges a
scientist Of worldwide fame and his father
at that, never had any education in the gen.
eral sense Of the term. When he was II
years old his schooling ceased, and from
that time until few months ago he practi-
cally lived at his fathers side during work.

A PiTIFUL SIGHT.
The PndrOne System Babies Driven to

The PadrOne System Babies Driven to
Work Slavery Worse Than Death.
The people of Chicago who profess
to be surprised at the revelations made
by the federal bureau of labor con-
corning the prevalence of the padrone
system among the Italians OF their
city must be very blind indeed. The
streets down town are full of little
white slaves who are sent ont to beg,
either without disguise or under the
pretense of following some street
trade. 1t is pitiful to witness the
merest infants selling papers at all
hours of the day and night. Little
boys and girls, many under six years
of age, can be seen at midnight in
front of the theatres and other places
of public resort, all of whom carry to
some slave driver the money which
compassion wrings from the public.
The number of children on the streets
of Chicago whose ultimate fate is
downward to the lowest depths, is ex-
ceedingly large, and no one can help
being struck by the excessive proper
ton of Italian faces among them. Bad
as the paufOne system ~, III us Ieia-
tions to honest labor, it is white as
snow when compared to the form
which holds these children of the
street in the worst of all slavery. The
rottenness of official life is shown
when Chicago's system of compulsory
education is looked to for some account
of the condition of these children. 1t
is the business of that branch of the
administration to give some good rea-
son for the presence ofthese little ones
on the streets and their absence from
the schools; but compulsory educa-
ton in Chicago means anything ex-
cept compelling anybody to send a
child to school. And it is the same
story with every department of the
city government that is responsible
for the army of children which daily
is being drilled in the manual of vice
and crime. This whole degenerate
element is permitted to exercise its
corrupting without influence q single
effort on the part of the city authori'
ties to neutralize the evil.-New York

$l75. He inherited Connecticut farm from
his father, which he traded for lot Of clocks
which he peddled through New England.
He was not very successful and turned his
attention to the California gold diggings. He
left In 1848 with stock Of goods which he
shipped around the Horn. He went himself
by way OF Panama, where he was detained

BOSTON, Mass, Dec. 9-Albert NJ. King
the young messenger who, in June last.
absconded with S31 900 belonging to the
BOylston National bank Of this city where
he was employed, has been freed from the
charge of embezzlement on motion Of Dist.
Atty. Boyd Jones in the United States dis
trict court. The district attorney gave
history OF the case, beginning
with Kings departure from Boston
with $31 900 OF the $46.00O which he had
collected for the bank, the balance, $l5, 900,
having been applied to the purposes OF
the bank, and then followed the messen-
gers fight to Lowell, Mass. and after
ward to Rangeley, Me-, where the young
man was captured. 1t had been claimed by
King, and doubtless justly, that on one oc-
casion In his journey he would have re-
turned to Boston had there been q train com.
ing in this direction. The district attorney
said that 1t seemed to him that King was not
q criminal, and II he were sentenced it
would mean the destruction Of life
that might be useful. In view Of the
fact that King now pleaded guilty, the
district attorney was Of the opinion that So
ciety needed no further protection from the
young man. 1t was, therefore, deemed
proper for the United States district attorney
to make recommendation that the indict-
ment against King be placed on file. The
court so ordered, and King walked out OF
the court room free man.
