ANTEDATED EDISON.
An Ore Separating Machine InS
vented By q Brooklyite
in 1891,

The description in the Eagle Of
Edison new ore separating machine
on Thursday last has brought out
the information that Edison is not
the only inventor who has tried his
hand at this work. Sylvester Chich-
ester, Of 357 Myrtle avenue, in con-
junction with Richard NJ. Moffat of
this city patented In 1891 the So
called bLoifat 81 Chichester machine.
1t was largely the invention Of MIR.
Moffat, Mr.. Chichester having help d
him in developing and perfecting it,
The Edison machine separates ore
by attracting the particles in one d..
rection and the gAngue or residue
falls in an opposite direction through
force of gravity.
In the Molfat d Chichester ma
chine the separation is performed by
attraction. This machine was made
for the separation Of magnetic oxide
Of iron from the gangue as it appears
in nature. The invention consists il
a novel combination of an electro
magnet or magnets, the poles oI
which are stationary within rotating
drums. The arrangement produce,
q strong concentration Of the mag.
netlc lines of force between the
drums at their lover half. All mag.
netic PARTICLES falling into the field
, Of force are attracted toward the
| periphery of the drum and are con,
veyed out of that held by the rotating
drums to q point where they pas'
into a suitable receptacle, separate
from that into which the non-Inag
netc particles pass. The iron par
tlcles are thus attracted by botE
drums which cotain the magnets, anc
the refuse matter is allowed to fal
from the center into separate re
ceptaele Inc capacity Of the ina
chne is 200 tons day, and will
it is claimed, extract 80 per cent o
all the ore.
This machine was exhibited il
Brooklyn and New York In 1891
and was subsequently taken to the
coast Of Maine, where it was used
Mr.. Chichester claims that bis ma
chine compares iayorably, as tC
quality of work, with the Edison
machine. Edison invention, how
ever, is on larger scale and cal
t4rn out 1000 to 2,OOU tons OF pnr,
ore per day Tins ls because it con
talns larger magnets, larger recep
tacIes, and consequently can take il
a larger amount OF ore at one ume.
The process Of separating magn I'll
ore by the means Of electro magnet
has been known for some ten years
according to Mr.. Chichester state
ment.-BrOoklyn Eagle.

SMALL THINGS.

Twas only a kind word spoken,
Ono cloudy, dismal day;
But 1t cheered sad and lonely one,
And helped him on his way.
Twas only II sweet child singer
That sang dear old song,
But tho words were OF home and
mother,
And kept him from doing wrong.
Only Il wee white rosebud.
That lay beside the way;
But II brought back tender memories,
And frightened lonely day.
Only a ray Of sunshine
That cleaned In garnet drear;
But IL carried beam OF comfort,
And dried the mourncr's tear.
o, why do we scorn the small things,
And wait for some mighty deed7
o, why will We not each hour
Scatter some little seed2
For perhaps In the glad hereafter
We shall find the seeds up above,
Transplanted In Christ's garden,
Which is blooming with flowers OF
love.

nuR WIN WISCONSIN HOME.

Why long to visit lands remote
Whose beauties charm the eyer
Where could we find a fairer spot.
Beneath clearer sky
Aye, here's place to live and die.
Without wish to roam;
Our natal spot, long goodbye,
We've found another home.
Then chserily Wen raise the cry,
We never wish to roam,
For there's no place like Wisconsin
Our wild Wisconsin home,
And truly at no distant day,
Our home was Wild and drear:
The grey wolf hunted for his prey
Among the antlered deer;
And troops of painted Indians here.
With stealthy steps have come.
To scalp the hardy pioneer.
And spoil his forest home
Rut now We fear no dangers near,
For better days have come,
And there's no place like Wisconsin,
Our wild Wisconsin home,
The painless woods have disappeared,
The prairies wave with grain,
And sounds OF industry are heard,
Throughout our wide domain.
Now taste and wealth united reign,
Religion rears her dome,
While busy commerce flows amain,
And learning finds home,
Then raise again the blythe refrain,
Loud ring the welltin dome,
Oh, there's no place like Wisconsin,
Our wild Wisconsin home,
Tho far, far west at length has ceased
TO have n distant sound,
Her hardy sons, the teeming east
Sends forth to till our ground.
And wandering pilgrims here abound.
Who've crossed the oceans foam.
And found within our ample bound,
A peaceful happy home,
Their songs resound home we'vo
found
Across the oceans foam,
Oh. there's no place like Wisconsin.
Our wild Wisconsin home,
Upon our chosen favorite state,
Our warmest blessings rest.
Still rich and prosperous be her fate.
The belle of all the west.
Bctide what may we'll love her bost,
Nor ever seok to roam,
And In her broad and fertile breast,
Wen find our final home.
So hero'll we'll rest, here ends oui
quest,
No more Wen sock to roam,
For there's no place like Wisconsin.
Our Wild Wisconsin home.

PRETTY NECKWEAR..
What win BE In Fashion the Coming
Season.

Fashion In collar bands and their
part In the:lnish OF our costumes; and
while they are not 80 deliberately
trimmed as they were year ago, a
frill OF some sort, and above all touch
OF white Is positive necessity for tho
success OF fashionable bodice and an
up-todate finishing touch at the neck.
Linen collars are still worn with
shirt waists and with severe street
gowns, and come In great variety,
plain, hemstltched and with tiny inser-
tions In lines Of embroidery n little
way from the edge, and are finished
with marrow lace edging. They are
always pretty, but by far the most
fashionable and newer collar Is the
stock collar OF silk, with narrow
turnover collar at the top. This stock,
or "stove-plpe" collar, as II is some
times called, is made OF black MORE
antique, and can be worn with the bow
to match or one OF white lace. OF
colored ribbon may be substituted with

back and be again brought forward
and tied In crisp-looking bow. This
same fancy can be carried out In chif-
fon, batiste, lawn or any material one
may care to use.
The short ruche, wider at the back
than at the side, still appears on many
Of the half-dressy gowns, and IL made
OF lace, net, ribbon or banded chiffon.
A double ruche Of black net. and an
inner one OF white lace, is very effec-
tive. but must be made less full and
narrower than heretofore Loops OF
ribbon are used at the back Of the neck
in many gowns, and while there Is
nothing new In this idea, women are

THE CHILDREN'S SLEEP.

A physician in an address before a.
Woman'S club on the care Of children's
health recently said that it is criminal
to attempt to save a little money by
not giving every child in the family a
bed to himself. The physician also
emphasized the need of early sleep.
1T Is so easy" he said, 'to let a ner-
Vcus child lose sleep in the early even
ing, when he or she should be hard
at it. When a physician prescribes
some important remedy that must be
taken and which is not pleasant, a
mother feels that it is time we'll ex-
pended to coax and wheedle, and even
bride the little ones to swallow it.
Spend just as much thought and effort
in getting your child to sleep every
night, If he does not fall off his chair
at the evening meal from drowsiness,
as the normal child should. Give up
concerts, theaters, parties, anything till
you have secured for the nervous,
twitching boy or girl the benign habit
Of sleep. Coax him to his room, give
him quick sponge bath, tuck him in
his single bed, with light wool blanket
over him besides the sheet and in
lowered light sit by him and talk to
him till he is quoted. Tell him gentle,
soothing stories, nothing to excite his
ina gination, and when he is finally
asleep, have the room cool, dark and
quiet. Don't let him try to sleep in a
room which has been a sitting room
all the evening, without having it
thoroughly ref1lled with fresh outdoor
air, which may be accomplished by
throwing windows wide open for fifteen
minutes"
