OBTAINS UNEXPECTED RESULT
Experiment by Young Edison Ex-
plOdes n Bomb in His Desk at
Electrical Exhibition.

A singular accident at the electrical
exhibition at Madison Square garden
the other day resulted in the partial
demolishment of the desk of Thomas
A. Edison, Jr., and a severe shock to the
nerves of its owner. One of the most in
teresting features of the exhibition has
been a demonstration of the Clarke
wireless telegraphy system, illustrating
by means of a small tank of water and
miniature gunboats how mines having
no cable connection with firing sta
ton on the shore may be exploded in a
harbor.
Mr.. Edison was experimenting be-
fore the exposition was open to the pub
lie to find method of exploding the
mines one at time. Some Is feet away
from the task was Mr.. Edison's desk, in
a drawer of which one of the small
bombs used as mines in the tank was
stored. Through the divergence of the
waves, as is supposed, the bomb in the
desk was exploded, reducing the desk
to liindling wood and damaging porta-
BILE electric light set on it. Splinters
flew about Mr.. Edison, but he was un-
injured except for the shock of the en-
plosion. In the desk number of valu-
able papers belonging to Mr.. Edison
were blown to bits.

ALMOST DESERTED.
Only Seventeen War Vessels Left at Key
West-Captured Spanish Vessels
May BE Used as Transports.

KEY WEST, May a7.-Soon after the
sailing of Rr. Adm. SIMPSONS squad
ION, Commodore Schley's squadron
having gone to the south of Cuba
lay or two before, there were left at
Key West II vessels of war, these con-
sisting entirely of converted tugs and
auxiliary gunboats of small size, but
considerable fighting power.
Far back in the harbor are the cap.
tured Spanish vessels, swinging at
their anchors and affording the sailor
man happy prospects of large prize
fund. The prize vessels constitute a
feet almost as formidable as that now
waiting at Port Tampa to carry the
troops to Cuba, and in view of the fact
that those 81 transports can only ac.
commodate from $4,000 to 90, 900 troops,
army men are wondering If the Span
ish steamers might not be made avail
able for the purpose.
The work of fortifying Key West
has gone along rapidly. The old fort,
to be sure, with its ancient cannon"
is of small account, but the new fort is
of a substantial character and will
mount some formidable guns. Already
one eight-inch rifle has been placed in
position to command the wide range
beyond the bar and others are now be-
ing rapidly put in place, contingent
of men having been sent down from
Tampa for that purpose.

MILLIONS OF EGGS.
An Unprecedented Run OF Wall-Eyed
Pike Reported In n Min.
nesOta Stream.

The greatest haul of fish eggs ever
made in America, and probably in the
world, has just been completed by the
state fish commission at Pike river.
north of Duluth, MINI. The commits
sioner returned few days ago with
l3 cans of eggs, which he Immediately
sent to the state hatchery. near ST. Paul.
These 10 cans contained 100000 eggs
each, all apparently in good condition.
all artificially taken from the females,
and all artifcially impregnated. 1t is
the experience of the hatchery that
about 30 per cent. of them will hatch,
and the commission expects to be able
to see 1OO,OOO,0OO young wall-eyed pike
later among the rivers and lakes of the
state.
Pike river is famed among fishermen
for its spring runs of fish to the spawn
ing grounds. This spring during the
stay there Of the egg gatherers the fish
were running so plentifully that it was
difficult to navigate a canoe, and per-
son could reach out of his boat and pick
up the fish as fast as he could throw
them into the boat. They seemed to
form dense mass, of steadily moving
fish extending the width of the stream,
and within an inch or two of the sur
face. For a week the fish ran steadily
up stream in dense crowds, and many
millions must have passed the states
nets.
Besides the catch of wall-eyed pike
for the state the government hatchery
at Duluth annually requires 100,O00,0 900
whitefish eggs and from 7O,O00,Oo0 to
1OO,oo0,0Oo eggs of various other varie-
ties. The fish resulting from the hatch
ing of all these vast numbers of eggs
| are deposited almost entirely in waters
| of Minnesota. With it's 10000 lakes, its
200 miles of shore line along Lake Su-
perior and its network of rivers, the
state is an ideal one for fish propoga-
ton, and the commission has lately
mapped out comprehensive scheme of
improvement under which, in a few
years, it is expected the water area of
the state will produce more actual
wealth to the acre than the land area.

same advice, but it is added the queen
regent is determined to remain.

Thfss Men Attack Guards at Mortar Bat.
tsry--shots Exchanged and the At.

& KEY WEST, Fla, May 2S.-A sergeant
Of artillery on duty at mortar bat.
tery near Fort Taylor was fired upon
early Friday morning by three un-
known men, whom he says he knows
to be Spaniards. The fire was prompt
~ returned, but the men escaped.
The affair, which is involved in q
good deal of mystery, began Thurs
day afternoon when three swarthy
men made an attempt to enter the gate
Of the reservation, but were summari.
~ turned off by the sentry. No further
attention was given to the incident
until Thursday night, when between
10 and II o'clock the sergeant of the
artillery guard. near the mortar bat
terry, discerned the figures of three
men few yards ahead of him. Almost
simultaneously with the discovery
they opened fire upon him with pistols.
Three bullets whizzed harmlessly past
the sergeant, but fourth lodged in
the fieshy part Of his left arm, just
above the elbow. The three men then
turned and fed out of range. The
sergeant fred several shots after them
and then went for the guard.
A sharp lookout was kept out for the
strangers and, soon after midnight, q
suspicious noise was heard outside the
gatesnear which the mortar battery is
located. An investigation resulted in
the discovery of a carriage in the
street just outside the gate. The ser.
geant gave orders to fire and volley
was sent after the vehicle. A moment
later, it appears three men were seen
running up the street and the fire OF
the soldiers was directed upon them,
but the suspects escaped apparently
unharmed.
The sergeant declares that on the
occasion of the last visit of the
strangers one of the latter carried a
suspicious looking package about three
feet long.
