Ediaon's speech.

Mr.. Edison has only once tried to
make a speech. 1t was before a girls
seminary, where he had agreed to lee

a friend named Adams TO operate the

said: ladies, Mr.. Adams will now

According to statistics collected in
Germany the oldest man known to be

Cotrim, negro born in Africa, but now
living in Rio Janeiro. Upon the same

has reached. or passed, the age of 100
years, making one centenarian to every

Dentrnrinr Friction.

After calling attention to the fact that
man was content with the use of Oil to
keep machinery in running order until
he began to ride the bicycle, when he
demanded some better labor-saver and
invented ball-bearings, the Scientific
American proceeds to illustrate and de-
scribe some recent applications Of such
bearings. They are employed for wag-
on and carriage wheels, for the carrier
wheels of cable roads, and for the
shafts of swift-runninS machinery,
They practically dispense with the use
of the oil can and greatly reduce the
amount of friction to be overcome, thus
adding to the effective power OF all ma
chimes In which they are used. The
singular fact is noted that Prof. Boys,
of London, showed experimentally that
ball-bearings, when properly construct
ed, are practically proof aginst wear.
He demonstrated this fact by Weighing
the balls of bicycle-bearing when they
were new, and again after they had
been subjected to long service. They
showed no loss of weight.

"A sensational case of 6lackmail has

Andrew Gwinn, one of the richest and

citizens of this county, accused him of
an uncomfortable crime and threatened
to expose him unless he gave them
money. This he had been doing to the
amount of from 800 to $500 per month
for the past two years. Yesterday they
called on him and demanded 5000, and
he refused them and notified his friends
of the occurrence. They promptly had
