STORED AN EMPTY BARREL.
Nine Months In n Storage Warehouse and

Nine Months In Storage Warehouse and
Three Carriages Paid 1t.
II got my furniture ont of storage
the other day" said New Yorker,
land my wife aud l thought we would
unpack the china and bric-a-brac our
selves, instead of paying 80 cents an
hour to the storage men to do 1t. The
stuff was packed i'll five barrels, one of
which, wo noticed, was lighter than
the rest.
when we began to unpack that one,
we concluded that it must contain our
most fragile articles of Vertu, for we
first came across a layer of excelsior and
soft paper a foot in thickness. Below
this was another layer, equally thick,
and when we had half unpacked the
barrel and found nothing but excelsior
and soft paper we knew not what to
think.
1--WE We're still moro fiabbergasted on
finding no china on removing the pack
ing. We of course concluded that our
things had been stolen and reproachCd
ourselves for our false economy in doing
the unpacking ourselves, for it is Il rule
of the storage concern we patroniZed not
to pay for any articles broken or miss
ing unless its men do the unpacking.
LAS we missed nothing when the 9th
er barrels had been unpacked, my wife
cudgeled her brain to explain the mys-
terry. She finally remembered that when
we gave up housekeeping, - years
ago, there was a lot of excelsior left over
when the china had been packed. In a
fit of economy she poked it all i'll su-
pcrfiuous barrel, which was duly headed
up and carted to tho hotel where we
spent the winter. 1t was stored III the
garnet without being unpacked, and III
the spring was sent to the storage ware
house.
I'VE accordingly have paid not only
for tho storage for nine months of an
empty barrel, but for its carriage on three
different occasions-from tho house to
the hotel, from the hotel to the storage
warehouse and from the warehouse to
where we now iver'-New York Sun.

EdiSon's Bet.

There is probably no other country
where so much and so curious betting
takes place as i'll the United States. Es-
pecially is this the case at election time.
Wizard Edison, it is said, made his first
unusual experiment in electricity as the
result of a bet. He was a telegraph OPP
orator, and the lunches of the boys were
carried in tin cans, into which reaches
made their way, causing much kicking
at mealtime. Various methods We're
tried to get rid of them, and finally Edi
son made a bet that he would suppress
them. The next day the dinner cans
Were piled in n heap, and the wizard
placed around them a circle of narrow
tin foil ribbon about an inch wide, and
about quarter of an inch away another
similar circle, and then he connected
both with the current The consequence
was that every roach in trying To get 70

legs ON one pole Cor piece of foiD and
his fore legs ON the other. thus cnmplet-
ing the circuit, and rolling over dead.
The bet was won, and the dead piled up

BOOK BINDING
Its beginning and the Transition Frcne
Ancient to Modern Methods.

Ancient to Modern Methods.
It was only when writing was made
upon separate pieces or sheets of a PHI
able and perishable material that bind
ing proper was invented TO hold the
pieces, or sheets, together and give
strength to them and protection and
beauty.
But here, again, we must distinguish.
The pliable written sheet may be either
rolled or folded, each giving rise to a
form of binding peculiar 10 itself. The
rolled sheet is bound By fastening each
sheet TO the other sideways and rolling
the whole from end TO end. the last sheet
serving as a cover to all the rest. This
form of binding is no doubt the more
ancient of the two, and it was for q long
time in general use. 1t was used, for
example, by the Egyptins-it was
probably invented by them-and it was
used by the Greeks ana by the Romans,
and great libraries of rolls existed for
come time after the Christian era, and
many industries were engaged in con-
tributing TO the perfection of the bind
ing. 1t has, however, been superseded
for many centuries by the folded form
of literature, the invention of which Is
attributed to Eumenes, king of Perga-
mus (from whom, too, comes our parch-
ment, or skin, prepared for writing on),
in the third century before Christ. But
if the form has disappeared the termi-
nology of the roll has survived, and the
word volume. - originally thing that
is rolled or wound up-i. e., rolls
now applied unfortunately TO its sub
stitute, the book of folded sheets.
The folded sheet, or section, as it is
called, is bound by simply sewing or
otherwise fastening the parts of the
sheet to one another at the back crease
or fold, and 4 number of sections are
bound by fastening each of them TO
some common support ut the back, so
that when all are sewed or otherwise
fastened they may yet be free to open
and to shut at pleasure ut the front or
fore edge
The invention of the folded sheet thus
gave rise to the invention of modern
binding, which, i'll its essence, is the
union at the back Of the folded sheets,
which together constitute tine folded
book, or, rs l may say, despite tho Ia
tent contradiction, the folded volume.

MARCONI WILL MAKE HIS FIRST
TEST OF HIS SYSTEM FROM THE
PONCE.
Word comes from New York that
those OF the public who viii have the
eyes for anything save Admiral Dewey
and his flagship win to-day be given
their first view of the apparatus to be
used by Mr.. Marconi in reporting the
international yacht races by wireless
telegraphy.
Expert riggers were at work nearly
all night raising a spar 150 feet above
the deck Of the steamship Ponce, which
was built here by the Harlan and Hol-
Ilingsworth Company, which will take
part in the naval parade From the
top of this spar, which is lashed to the
foremast, the story Of the races will be
flashed across the water, to be caught
by means of a spar raised $50 feet
above the Jersey shore.
AS the Ponce goes up the North
river, Mr.. Marconi will perform his
first practical experiments in this coun-
try. An assistant will be stationed at
the Highlands of Navesink, and will
be in direct communication with the
steapship. Messages will be sent and
received, and unless unexpected COM
plications arise, due to hurried install
lation, those on board the Ponce will
have the pleasure Of seeing the first
work done by means Of Marconi's sys-
tenn in America.

DAWSON BLEEDING TO DEATH

SLOWLY DYING FROM WOUNDS IN
FLICTED BY HIS DAUGHTERS
LOVER.
Kenton, Del, Sept. 29.-From seven
deep cuts James Dawson has been
steadily losing blood since last Satur-
day. His condition is now critical, and
Herman Wilds, who stabbed him, is
under surveillance. The row between
Dawson and Wilds started early last
week, when Dawson learned for the
first time that Wilds had called upon
his daughter in Philadelphia. He at
once declared that Wilds had been i'm
properly intimate with the girl and an
nounced his intention of horsewhip-
ping the young man on sight.
1ney met on Saturday night, and
Dawson undertook to thrash Wilds,
who is a frail fellow, scarcely out Of
his teens. Wilds drew a knife and
showed fight He slashed Dawson in
seven places, and the man was found
some hours later, bathed in his own
blood, and close to deaths door. He
rallied, however, and hopes were enter
tanned for his ultimate recovery. With
in twenty-four hours his condition has
materially changed and his death is
expected.
