EAIson md Platinum.

A story will serve to throw light up
on Edlson's character. At one time
there was great fear In the scientific
world that the deposits Of platinum
were about to become extinct Edison
thereupon organized correspondence
bureau and sent letters to every Amer
lean consul upon the globe, TO British
consuls In ports where the United
States had no representative and TO
scientific men In every land. The let
ter gave clear statement respecting
the metal, how and where 1t was found
and might be found. how II could be
identified and treated and much other
information.
In each letter were Enclosed samples
of platinum as found In the various
rock beds. This may seem to be q
small undertaking, but when II Is re
membered that the letters were sent
of by the thousands. that the postage
was 10 cents to each letter and thai
the pieces of platinum inclosed were
almost as valuable as metallic gold. the
cost OF the achievement Is readily seen

thus earned the gratitude OF very

HARD ON SMOKERS
Old Time Legislation Against the
Use of Tobacco

Use OF fObaccO.
1t is one of the curloslties of old time
legislation that the use of tobacco was
IN early colonial days regarded by the
magistrates and elders as far more In.
furious, degrading and sinful than that
OF intoxicating liquors. Both the use
and the planting of the weed were for
pldden, the cultivation of 1t being per-
united only In small quantities, "for
meere necessitie, for phlslck, for pres
efvatlon OF the health, and that the
same be taken privately by anpcient
men, But the Creature called tobac-

No one could smoke within two miles
OF the meeting house ON the Sabbath

on the street, and they were fined and
set in the stocks and in cages.
Until within a few years there were
New England towns where tobacco
smoking in the streets was prohibited,
and innocent cigar loving travellers
were astounded at being requested TO
cease smoking.
Mr.. Drake wrote in 1886 that he
knew men, then living, who had had to
plead guilty or not guilty In a Boston
police court for smoking in the streets
of Boston.
In Connecticut In early days a great
indulgence was permitted to travellers
a man could smoke once during jour-

There is no doubt but the form of a
