Eranklin's Desk.

One OF the most valuable and interest
ing pieces of furniture in Philadelphia is
owned by Dr.. Roland g. Curtin and has
aplace Of honor in his office, at 22 South
Eighteenth street. 1t is Benjamin
tranklln's desk, the very one he used
for 20 or more years, and at which he
did most of his writing, and in which
he kept most Of his papers
it Is big and broad, with a fat TOP
and two tiers Of ample English oak
drawers and two drawers in the middle.
There are two fronts, making both sides
alike. The wood is the finest solid ma
bOgany, the brasswork is handmade
and the desk was evidently intended to
last for generations. A great stack Of
letters and old newspaper clippings tell
the story Of the desk
After the death of DR.. Franklin if
came into the possession Of the well
known Philadelphia exchange brokers.
One letter is very curious. IL is from
Rev. Edwin Town, to whose uncle it
was bequeathed by Mr.. Whclon. That
letter is to William Bradford, member
of councils in 1857, after the desk was
placed i'll Independence hall and attract
ed great attention. In it, after explCd-
ing the theory that DR.. Franklin and
Mr.. Whelen had private transactions
which led to the possession of the desk,
Mr.. Town says: Il shall continue to be-
lieve, as L have for the last 30 years,
that the desk was absolutely the proper
ty Of DR. Franklin and that Mr.. Whelen,
ST., came into possession of it either be-
fore the doctors death OF soon after,
when part of his effects were disposed
OF, including the old desk, which Joseph
Carr, formerly of Bartram's garden,
the GRAND boy of DR.. Franklin at the
time OF his death G790), is positive he
remembers as occupying place in the
chamber on the right of the entrance
hall Of the doctors mansion, which
stood at that day on the ground now oc-
cupied by Franklin place"
DR.. Curtin got the desk from one of
the present members of the Town fam
lily. 1t has been estimated that it may
tie $50 years old. -Philadclphia Times

EdisOn's Bet.

There is probably no other country
where so much and so curious betting
takes place as in the United States. Es-
peoially is this the case at election time.
Wizard Edison, it is said, made his first
unusual experiment in electricity as the
result of bet. He was telegraph op-
orator, and the lunches of the boys were
carried in tin cans into which reaches
made their way, causing much kicking
at mealtime Various methods were
tried to get rid of them, and finally Edi-
son made bet that he would suppress
them. The next day the dinner cans
were piled i'm n heap, and the wizard
placed around them circle Of narrow
tin foil ribbon about an inch wide, and
about a quarter Of an inch away another
similar circle, and then he connected
both with tho current. The consequence
was that every roach in trying to get to
the cans placed himself with his hind
legs on one pole Cor piece of foiD and
his fore legs on the other, thus complet.
ing the circuit, and rolling over dead.
The bet was won, and the dead piled up
like an Irish fence.

Public Indifferent tn Signs Put Up For It's

places are treated by the majority of
people just the same as the catch line of
years ago. Every horse car and every
car on the elevated system carries sign
warning passengers that they must not
stand ON the platforms, but i'm the busy
hours one rarely sees car which does
not carry all the people it can hold on
the platform, and no conductor has ever
made any effort 10 enforce the rule. Ev-

front door is used more ON the Madison
avenue line than on any other.
In the waiting rooms of the various
railway stations the signs by which il is
made known which parts Of the place
are for women might as well be removed
because no one seems 10 take the least
notice of them, and the benches in the
waiting shed Of the Grand Central sta
ton, over which a sign is posted, IRE
served For Women, would be occupied
by men continually if the employees
did not call attention to the sign.
At most places where people buy
tickets, in banks where there are crowds
Of depositOrs or people who wish to
draw funds from the institution, there
are signs showing on which side the line
forms, and still there is never day in

BOOK BINDING.
It's Beginning nnd the Transition From,
Ancient To Modern Methods.

1t was only when writing was made
upon separate pieces or sheets of phi
able and perishahle material that bind
ing proper WAS invented 20 hold the
pieces, or sheets. together and give
strength u them and protection and
beauty.
But here, again, we must distinguish.
The pliable written sheet may be either
rolled or folded, each giving rise TO a
form of binding peculiar TO itself. The
rolled sheet is bound by fastening each
sheet TO the other sideways and rolling
the whole from end to end the last sheet
serving rs a cover TO all the rest This
form Of binding is no doubt the more
ancient of tho two. and it was for a long
time in general use. liz was used, for
example, by the Egyptians--it was
probably invented by thom-and it was
used 10y the Greeks and by the Romans,
and great libraries of rolls existed for
some time after the Christian era, and
many industries We're engaged in con.
tributing 10 the perfection of the bind.
ing lie has, however, been superseded
for many centuries by the folded form
OF literature, tho invention Of which is
attributed TO Eumenes, king of Perga-
mus (from whom, too, comes our parch-
ment, or skin, prepared for writing on),
in the third century before Christ. But
if the form has disappeared the termi-
nology of the roll has survived, and the
word volume, originally thing that
Is rolled or wound up. e., rolls
now applied unfortunately to its sub
stitute, the book of folded sheets.
The folded sheet, or section, as it is
called, is bound by simply sewing or
otherwise fastening tho parts of the
sheet to one another at the back crease
or fold, and number of sections are
bound by fastening each of them to
some common support at the back, so
that when all are sewed or otherwise
fastened they may yet be free TO open
and to shut at pleasure at the front or
fore edge.
The invention OF the folded sheet thus
gave rise to the invention Of modern
binding, which, in its essence, is the
union at the back Of the folded sheets,
which together constitute the folded
book, or, as Imay say, despite the Ia
tent contradiction, the folded volume.
