viii then sell for a song"
Prof. Gray is getting to the point
where he will sell for a song. It has
come to the point where boarders have
been taken in the home to help meet
the bills. He has lost his buoyancy
OF spirit and has descended to the plane
of an ordinary grinder for an ordinary
salary. The big shop which was erect
ed for his use has practically been
abandoned. The fires in the plant are
smokeleSs, and, pent UP in his little
study, which has been shorn Of the
pictures bought in golden days, he has
been compelled to abandon his plans
of science for sciences sake and is now
trying to recoup his fortunes by work
ing in the most commonplace lines. He
spent the last year in improving a
bicycle lamp.
The improvement was quickly COB
bled up by a small man who had
money and paid cash-the smallest
possible fraction of its actual worth.
This trait, possibly more than his
greatness, has made him one of the
most sought after men in Chicago.
His neighbors have been most solicit
Gus about him. Men of money have
been keeping tabs on his habits for a
quarter of a century. He told me the
other day that he had more friends
after a long session of confinement and
study than at other times He thinks
he is watched like Vultures watch a
feeding ground. His friends increase as

Raleigh, N. c., Special to New York World
One of the Oldest twins in the
world drove in his buggy TWEEN
ty-eight miles the other day to visit a
correspondent who had requested an
interview with him. He is Hugh Nc
Lean. of Dickinson, Harnett county.
He and his brother Hector were born
Feb. 16, 1910, and are just past eighty
eight years of age. The correspondent
had intended to go to these venerable
men, but Hugh said:
81 felt so we'll and so sprightly 1
thought 1 would come and see you. I
drive. 1 am not egotistic, but L am
glad something will be published about
us so our kinsmen here and in Scot
land, too, will see It."
Hugh and Hector are the fourth and
fifth sons of Duncan Mclean and Mary
McAlister. The parents Of their moth
er come over from Scotland in 1875,
and one of them, Col. Alexander Nc

cestor was born in 1898, and 200 years
are thus spanned by three generations.

found him without a penny and fooled
him into selling his patents for a song.
The pitiful lament of his latter days
is that he did not have a conservator
appointed when he had money. He
now fears that he may die without a
cent.
Prof Gray knows his failing better
than any one else. He has been up and
down. He has made fortunes and spent
them. He has never had any cOnsid-
cradle amount OF money that he did
not think it was enough to last forever.
He admits that it never occurred to him
to be a scientist for money. He has
never looked for any return save the
fame. He once spent a year in de-
vising a plan for an Improvement in
the work Of the telephone. The i'm
brought him a check for $4,000.
He thought this was enough to last
him the balance of his life. He order
ed his wife and family to pack the
trunks. They sailed for Europe the
next week. There was nothing too
good or expensive for them to buy.
They brought home pictures, statuary
and art treasures, and the home was
decorated like the palace of king.
From Luxury to Want.
This season of extravaganza was fol-
lowed by one of extreme want. The
professor became filed with an idea
that it would be practicable to send au-
tograph messages by telegraph. The
plan took so much of his time that he
forgot to pay the grocer and the butch
er. The barn on his homestead became
his study. He borrowed all the money
he could get his friends to loan him.
This went for wires, batteries and ma
ckinery. He became so filled with the
scheme on his mind that time and
again he was carried by his station in
his trips to Chicago for material. He
lived like man in a perpetual dream
9 The men who knew him knew that
something great was to transp.re. They
waited.

he is dreadfully hard up, said the presi-
