EdisOn's Experience In Newspaper Max
ing Was Not a Happy One.
In her life story of Edison Mrs Sarah
A. Tooley relates the following con-
cerning the Wizard"
"Having been successful as a news
seller, Edison lost no time in becoming
an editor and publisher, and like Gar
gison:
What need of helpP He knew how types were
He had dauntless spirit and press.
''True, Tom Edison press only con-
sisted of disused set of type purchased
for nominal sum, and his combined
printing Office and editorial sanctum
was a dilapidated luggage van, but it
possessed an advantage of which even
Printing House square cannot boast-it
was migratory. The van converted to
this novel purpose was attached to the
train on the Grand Trunk railway, and
appropriately enough the paper was en-
titled The Grand Trunk Herald.
ga further venture was Paul Pry, in
which, if any one may be excused a
pun, the editor 'pried' into things in
too free manner, and some individuals,
incensed at his fun at their expense,
dipped him into the river to cool his
Imagination. Further disaster followed
when one day PHOSPHORUS bottle up
ret i'll his laboratory and nearly set the
train on fire. The conductor promptly
removed Edison and his apparatus,
printing and chemical, to the platform
at the next stopping place.
''It was bitter moment, of which
Edison cannot think without feeling
over again the sense of utter hopelessness
and desolation which came upon him
when he saw the train whirling off
while he stood alone and forsaken
among his broken goods, his ear tin
Cling with brutal box which injured
his hearing for life.

MetalIiZed Wood.

The following process, invented by
Mr.. Rubennick, for metallizing wood,
is thus described by Les Mondes: "The
wood is first immersed for three or four
days, according to its permeability, in
a caustic alkaline lye (calcareous soda)
at a temperature of from IS to 80 de-
grees. Thence it passes Immediately
into bath of hydrosulphite of calcium,
to which is added, after "a or SO hours,
concentrated solution of sulphur in
caustic potash. The duration of this
bath is about As hours, and it's tempera-
ture is from 35 to SO degrees. Finally
the wood is immersed for 80 or so hours
in hot solution (35 to so degrees) of
acetate of lead. The process, as may be
seen, is long one, but the results are
surprising. The wood thus prepared,
after having undergone proper drying
at moderate temperature, acquires un-
der burnisher of hard wood a polished
surface and assumes very brilliant
metallic luster. This luster is still fur
ther increased if the surface of the wood
be first rubbed with piece of lead, tin
or zinc and be afterward polished with
a glass or porcelain burnisher The
wood thus assumes the appearance Of a
true metallic mirror and is very solid
and resistant.

David Lancaster came home i'll the

piece OF salmon i'll bass bag and the
fifth Globe with all the latest cricket in

Evey, up at her window, white and
trembling still, watching with half

down under the cedars, saw her husband
coming in at the gate, saw him Join the
restless figure and tramp up and down
in company and knew the story was be-
ing told him, for with a kiss had come
awakening and shame, as it came with
the knowledge of good and evil into the
first garden.
Some time later the two men came
back to the house, and Evey's prefer

ascend to his own room and David turn
down the passage to come to hers. She

She could not look at his face, but she
understood as he walked across the room
to where she stood and took her straight
and unhesitatingly into his arms that
somehow, in spite of all, he knew about
the kiss and had forgiven her. And the
kiss was all she could remember of her
past life.
