NEW ELECTRIC POWER.
Pennsylvania Inventor Discovers nn
UneNplRinHbIc Third
Current.

Daniel Drawbaugh Of Eberlys
Mills, Cumberland county, Pa, the
original inventor of the telephone at
the age of "a, has stumbled across an
uneNplainab electrical current of
high potentiality in some expert
ments he has been making recently
along lines of wireless telegraphy.
Mr.. Drawbaugh's machine is very
small and is constructed similarly to
the electromagnetic appara tus
found on telephone instruments. He
turns on the positive and negative
currents, subsequently short-circuit-
ing these currents, whereupon he
draws another and an apparently un-
known current from another part OF
the diminutive apparatus. The short
circuited current and the third cur
rent combined make such a powerful
flow of electricity as to completely
puzzle those who have witnessed the
machines performance.

STRADIvARIUS VIOLIN FOUND.
Farm Hand Discovers That an Old
Instrument Is of Great
Value.

A genuine Stradivarius violin has
been discovered in the possession of
a farm hand employed by c. b. Kirt-
land, five miles east of Salna, Kan.
The owner of the violin has never
known that it possessed any special
value, but priced it as an heirloom.
1t was given to him by his father,
who brought it years ago from the
north of Ireland, where he had in
herited it.
1t came into the possession of his
family in the latter part of the eight
eenth century, during the famiIy's
residence in Liverpool. The violin
was taken to Ireland. where it re-
manned several generations and was
then brought to this country.
An offer of $1,000 has been made
for the violin, but this has been re-
fused by it's owner.

MAY cHEApEN ELECTRICITY
Momcntous Importance in the Dis-
coVery of n Mine of Cad
Inium

The Della S. mine at Aspen, Col,
has made a great discovery in a new
mineral. When this ore was first
struck it was not considered of any
value, but the continuance of the ore
body excited some curiosity to know
just what it was, and Manager An
derson had II test made, with the re-
suit that it surprised him.
1t proved to cadmium, n rare min
eral used by Edison in his recently
discovered storage batteries. The
whole face of the drift is in this
character of ore and assays eight per
cent. cadmium. 10 ounces in silver
and 21 per cent. lead valued at SIPS
ton.
The mine shows large bodies OF
this character of rock. 1t is of a
bluish-white cast and the strike is
very valuable and the best that has
been made in this mine for five years.
d. Il. G. Brown. of New York. pres
ident OF the Della $. company and the
principal owner of the stock, is now
in Aspen. experimenting the con-
struciion of the largest concentrate
ing mill on the western slope.
With the discovery of cadmium Ed
ison declared electricity would be-
come cheaper than water. The strike
was accidental, as no one in this
state has supposed such a rare min
eral could exist in more than small
quantities that would not pay TO de-
velOD.

HUGE COAL FIELD FOUND.
The Largest Deposit in the World
Has Been Discovered in
Iceland.

In view Of the fact that there have
been fears lest the worlds supply of
coal should run short, the announce
mcnt that huge coal deposits have
been discovered near the Nowd ford,
on the east coast of Iceland, is of great
Importance. There has been very lit
tie prospecting for coal. in the island,
but by the indications it appears as
though this latest discovery points to
a field in extent greater than any other
in the world. 1t is believed to run
from the coast to the interior and
volcanic portion of the island, and its
breadth and thickness cannot be
rmeSSed.

URGES TECHNICAL EDUCATION.
Great britain Declared to be Far BE-
hind United states ana

At the annual meeting mt London
of the Association of Technical In
stitutions Sir William Hart Dyke, in
his presidential address, urged the
spread of technical education in Great
Britain.
He reviewed the thorough systems
of the United States and Germany,
and said it was time Great Britain
recognized that the day Of the I'M
trained man had passed. When trade
was again at low ebb, Great Britain
would feel the effects of her poor
system of education and America and
Germany would press her still more
hardly in the race for commerce.

other notable animals are an Afri-
can black panther, valued at $250O. A
Syrian goat with lopears measuring
each 12 inches in length, and a trio of
polar bears.
Passing into the main tent, which
both in the afternoon and evening was
| filled with an immense crowd, three
solid hours of unalloyed pleasure are
consumed in witnessing the various
specialties which occupy the three
rings and the race course around the
tent. The opening display is grand
scenic production of King Solomon's
court, with view of the walls and
towers of Jerusalem, and a pantomic
reproduction of the Queen of Sheba S
reception. This act is a magnificent
combination of oriental colors and
customs and always is received with
bursts Of applause. 1t is exceedingly
beautiful in the evening when under
the glare of lights.
Following this act are various per-
formances in the rings and all through
the arena the outer edges of which are
occupied by the clowns.
Miss Effie Dutton, who does the plin-
cipal act in the rings, has the undis-
puted reputation of the champion lady
equestrian queen of the world. Her
feats of horseback are truly marvel
Gus and combine daring with grace
ana skill. Miss Dutton finishes her
daring feats in blaze of ofelcetruc lights
the bulbs of which are concealed on
her person. Lady object holders are
introduced in this act as special
tribute of Miss buttons ability.
Rowena. the head balancer. who
maintains a perpendicular position on
the trapeze for half an hour, and the
three Renzetta brothers, who execute
gymnastc feats of difficulty, excite
wonder and admiration by their ac-
complishments.
One of the most unique sights of
the squared circle is afforded by a
troupe of performing hogs, remark
able for their intelligence in going
through a lot of tricks, diverting in
the extreme.
Innovations in aerial work are intro
duced by Miss Dobell and the flying
Lavans, while on a tlapeze, Melville
seems as much at home as though on
terra firma.
In the acrobatic line the Roberts
family, comprised of mother, father
sen and daughter display remarkable
suppleness and agility.
The riding of Miss Blanche Hillard
who managed four horses while racing
at the top of their speed is a feature
of which the management feels just
ly proud.
While the elephants were perform
ing, the unusual spectacle of the pro-
prietor of the show, John Robinson,
taking an active part in directing the
big brutes was one of the things
which many people did not observe, or
observing did not understand. Mr..
Robinsons S one hobby is the care of ell
ephants, and he himself broke and
trained one of the big quadrapeds,
While they are in the ring he is obliv-
ious to all else that goes on around.
Many other specialties of a high
grade might be spoken Of, but space
forbids only a mention of few of the
more deserving.
The verdict of all attending was
that the big shows were replete with
more and better specialties than in
any year of their visit to Marietta.
The attendance in the evening was
much larger than in the afternoon as
the city people were then at liberty
to go.
The show pulled out this morning
via the o. G l.. X. for GAINESVILLE.

He wears the same costume winter and summer and many have often wOn- dered how he lives through the warm weather with all the clothes he car rieS. It is some time ago since he was here before and one of his old ac
 QuaintanceS asked him why he had remained away so long, at the same time remarling that some of his old friends thought him dead. He laughed at this and then said that his health was as good as ever and that he was not aware that he had missed calling at Waterbury at the usual time. How old are you, John?" was the next ques- tion put to the visitor. "Oh,' he an- swered, with q sigh. "I came to this
 country when I was q boy and I'm here over fifty years. It does me good to come to Waterbury and see some of the people I knew when I was d young | man and never dreamed of trampinG | the state in search of bread.
