YOUTHFUL INVENTORS.
Heber Robarts, Jr, and T. r.. Read,
of st. Louis, are Electrical


Wizards.
Heber Robarts, Jr., aged II years, and
L. K. Reed, 16 years old. are rapidly be-
coming electrical wizards. They nave es-
tablished a partnership for the purpose of
experimenting with electricity, with a view
OF adapting it to some practical use. Their
whole attention has been engaged with al
electric railway without overhead trolley
WIRE. The boys believe they have succeed
ed in perfecting an underground trolley .sys-
and fortune.
They have constructed a model which
carries out all that they claim for it. a
track has been laid in a room at The Robarts
meme at 29l4 Morgan street. Over this runs
a truck propelled by a small motor. Power
IS conveyed to the motor by a wire running
IN an insulated groove on the side of the
tracks. Contact is obtained by a brush
car.
The boys are delighted with the success
they have attained thus far and are as
II they had accomplished a feat greater
than that of Edison. They are both well up
IN the theory and practical application OF
electricity. and If they keep up their pres
ent enthusiastic Investigations and expert
ments they will yet make their mark in
the world. Young Robarts is the son of
Dr. Heber Robarts, editor of the American
f-Ray Journal.
