WERE SPLENDID CIGARS.

Great Inventor Doesn't Know the Dit

Edison is fond of smoking, but he

Fifth avenue, New York, his desk in
which he kept box of cigars was
always open, and as the boys came in

appeared with mysterious rapidity.
Finally he asked friend, who was in
the tobacco business. IL he could not
do something to discourage this dis
appearance. why, yes," said the
friend, I'll make up some cigars for
you. I'll put Hoffman House labels on

Persons Who Have Received The,,
Valuable Ideas In sieep.
1t is wonderful how MANY persons
got tneir nrst ideas of what afterward
proved to be valuable inventions while
asleep or dreaming" observed patent
onice examiner to a Washington Star
reporter. Others after working fer
weeks Or months on inventions during
tnelr waking hours have had the whole
thing come clear to them during a
dream. On the other hand. l have
KNOWN OF inventors who saw in their
dreams the impracticability of their
inventions on which they had obtained
patents and changed them so that they
would be practical. In withdrawing
their applications for amendment or
improvement there are numbers of in
stances where inventors admit that
they got the better idea during a
dream. Some OF the most successful
money making patents were in this
way dreamed rather than worked out
1t may be that the ordinary inventor
Is more of dreamer than anything
else. Certain it is that nine-tenths of
tue patents issued do not pay enough
to cover even their own expenses, and
there is not one in a thousand that
pays anything like big money to the
inventor or any one else. There are a
very large number of instances where
inventors have been granted all the
way from five to forty patents, not
one OF which has paid its expenses or
is ever likely to do so. Like in every
thing else, there seems to be less ne
cessity or opportunity for inventions
as time passes along, though there is
as much room and sale for good
things" in this line as there ever was.
Capital is always ready to pick up and
advance valuable invention, though
1t takes but little stock in any inven-
tion unless there is something more
solid about 1t than dream. The mere
fact that the dream is endorsed by the
official patent plays no part with it, IN
less the patent itself is of value. Capt.
tai doesn't invest much in dreams of
any kind"

Mark rwa,n.s Fathers Burial Place.

The father of Mark Twain is buried
in an unmarked grave in a little ceme-
terry at Sand Hill, a small place near
Rutledge, Scotland county. Some time
ago there was talk about having the
coff1n removed, but as there was great
uncertainty as to It's exact location,
the idea was abandoned. Many years

THE FUTURE OF COAL.
Though the Fuel supply b Dwindling 9
Prospects Are StIn Bright.

Though the Fuel Supply Dwindling
Prospects Are stn Bright
Some people don't care what be-
comes of the coal supply Of the world
and others do. Without casting any
aspersions upon those whom the ap-
preaching exhaustion OF the earth's
coal deposits moves not, we must
nevertheless admire others for their So
licitude as to what their descendants
will do without 1t few thousand
years hence. The fact, however, that
mankind every year uses about 400
100000 tons of the coal left in the
world, estimated roughly At a paltry
600,O00,000 tons, should rouse the
needless ones from their apathy. A
few years ago 1t was foreseen that
the supply of sperm whales would be
exhausted, no more candles could be
made and man would be left in dark
ness. Even then there were people
who didn't care, and when somebody
discovered kerosene they said: "Oh,
l don't know" or words something
like that. Kerosene was getting scarce
and another chill shook the planet,
Then the Consolidated Gas Company
was formed. usurping Col. Bryan's
rights. gas took the place Of kerosene,
and Standard Oil went up ten points
1t wasn't long before the world had
another chill, but not such a bad one
as the others. 1t was getting used to
them. Gas was giving out, and the
end of the world was near. But cleo
trio light came in time and saved the
world from darkness. Now, however,
somebody has discovered that in the
generating OF incandescent electric
light 9S per cent of the energy used is
thrown away, SO electric light will
have to go. The next thing will be
animal light. Only 2 per cent of that
is wasted. The Firef1y and Glowworm
Light company is due. But the devel-
opment of electrical forces will not
stop the use Of coal, and so the coal
barons can rejoice. Solar heat, tides,
wave motion and wind currents can
be harnessed, yet the day of the steam
engine and coal is not past. These
forces cannot be relied upon as coal.
The sun does not shine with equal
warmth every day nor does the wind
blow with equal force. Waves and
tides vary greatly. -"
