. Cleveland, O., July 4.-The heat here
today has been most intense, the tenn.

the season, 81 degrees. Three fatali-

and there have been several other pros
trations.
Louisville, KY, July 4.-The hottest

them resulting fatally,
Toledo, o., July 4.-The day here
was the hottest July day in twenty
FIVE years in this city. The government
thermometer registered so and the in.
struments on the streets indicated a
temperature of from 10 to 115. Many
cases Of prostration have occurred, but
none of them have been fatal. Many
horses dropped dead in the streets
Had it not been for a light breeze pre-

Nashville Tenn, July 4.-The fear

900 tons; so that In the paltry two
miles surrounding the village of Edi-
son there is enough iron in the rocks
to keep the whole world supplied for
one year or the United States for three
years, even with the natural increase
in demand Sixteen thousand acres or
twenty-five square miles of land con-
tain enough iron ore to keep the whole
world supplied for seventeen years, al
lowing, of course, for all natural in
crease of demand, due to the needs of
a growing population. These acres
would more than supply the United
States with iron, including necessary
exports, for the next seventy years:
and they contain more than has been
mined heretofore in this country since
It's discovery.
Here was an opportunity for the In
ventor and he set to work to plan out
a great industry. 1t has taken him
eight years to do 1t, but the result has
justified all the trouble and money
which he has expended upon 1t. En-
gineers used to large enterprises of the
kind have smiled incredulously. Some
of them have spoken of 1t as Edison's
hobby, and others as his folly. Some
have shown him on paper that no ma
chine could be constructed powerful
enough to crush five, six and seven ton
rocks, or If such a machine were con-
structed 1t would never stand the jar
and strain exerted upon it. This par.
ticular difficulty Mr.. Edison surmount-
ed SO completely that less than 100
horse power is required TO reduce rocks
weighing six and seven tons to dust in

Effect of Cofree on the Nerves.

The impression prevails in many
minds that coffee is extremely inju-
rious to the nerves and also to the
liver. How true this may be it is not
easy to decide. Normal constitutions
do not, as a rule, seem to find coffee in
moderation In the least degree inju
rious. Dyspeptics may experience dis
tress from It's use, but according to
some carefully conducted experiments,
it Is quite as likely to be the sugar and
cream In the coffee as the coffee itself.
Persons who have been in the habit of
taking coffee prepared in the usual
fashion and have found 1t to disagree
with them have tried black coffee with
out sugar or cream with most excellent
results. From which 1t may appear
that the caffeine may not be so inju-
rlous after all; indeed, it has of late
been used In cases of myocarditis with
excellent effect Small doses of caf-
feline are recommended, and these at
intervals, the remedy being given stead
lily, then discontinued for while. In
this way the system does not become
accustomed to the medicine and it is
not necessary to increase the dose of
the drug

spurs of the Allegheny Mountains. But
the ore Is mixed with the rock in such

therefore looked upon as one Of the
wastes of nature The furnaces in the
East were compelled to look for their
supply of high-grade ore to few iso-
lated deposits and to ores imported
from foreign countries. The former
being limited, and the cost Of procur-
ing the latter having almost reached
the prohibitory point, the trade in high
grade ore for the manufacture of Bes-
semer steel began to shift westward
to Michigan and Minnesota. Iron mills
In the East were shut down and many
thousands who depend on the smelling
industry for a living were thrown out
of employment. Walking along the
Long Island shore Edison one day no.
ticed a pile of black sand. He took
some of 1t home for Investigation.
Placing an electromagnetic near the
mass, he was surprised to see little
uuIh Sltino lttlN Z lliC ntuD anu move
like so many ants toward the magnet;
the ants proved to be little grains of
iron ore. On the basis of this find he
evolved his famous ore-separating ma
chine. When the aforementioned curl
Gus condition of the iron trade In the
East was brought to Mr.. Edlson's at
tention eight years ago he remember
ed his experience with the sand, and
In order to assure himself Of the exact
condition of the iron mines in the East
he invented a magnetic needle which
would dip" toward the earth when
ever it was brought over a large de-
post of iron. With this he made a tour
of the mines of New Jersey To his
amazement his needle indicated that
the greater portion of the ground over
which he travelled was underlad with
immense deposits of iron.
With his magnetic needle, or, MS he
calls 1t, his magnetic eye" he tested
every large body of gneiss rock ex-
tending along the eastern coast of the
United States, from Lower Canada TO
the great Smoky Mountains of North
Carolina.
He found immense deposits of iron.
For instance, in the 1900 acres imme.
diately surrounding the village of Ed-
son, there are over 200000,000 tons of
low-grade ore. In the entire district
there are 10000 acres in which the de-
post is proportionately as large. The
worlds annual output Of iron ore does
not, at the present time. reach G0,00O.

Edison,s Latest Triumph.

This century has produced a host OF
thinkers whose penetration of intel
lect, keen observation and careful rea-
soning have chained the forces of ma
ture and made them the servants of
man. OF these there is probably none
more deserving of the highest place
than is Thomas A. Edison. He has
made more than n score of inventions,
any one of which would entitle him to
a name and a place among the fore
most men in the scientific world, ana
yet he goes on and strives for more and
greater conquests. The marvellous in
yentions with which his name is asso-
ciated have not been achieved in day,
but are the result of patient toll, in
domitable perseverance and concentra-
ton of purpose. Nothing he has done
heretofore has required so much of his
individual attention, taxed his inyen-
tive ingenuity so fully or in the aggre-
gate consumed his vital powers moro
than his latest accomplishment.
