THOMAS A. EDISON SAYS
That Invention Does Not. Pay, although
He Is Rich.

That Invention Docs Not Pay, Although
He Is Rich.
The statement made by Thomas Edi-
son that invention does not pay sounds
rather queer coming from an inventor
who has grown rich, but there is much
truth in it. Inventors seldom have the
business capacity necessary to market.
an invention, and are frequently the vic
Tins Of INSCRIPTIONS but able financiers
Moreover, many an ingenious continuance
cannot be made to pay because it lacks
the qualities necessary to make it valu-
able, which are, First: That it must be
new and useful; Second: One for which
there Is no cheap or: convenient substi-
tute; Third: So patented so as to protect
it against infringements;' Fourth: 1t must
be something which great, numbers Of
persons need and will buy. Among recent
inventions which combine all Of these
advantages to a. marked degree may be
mentioned the Doyle Invention for Sc
curing perfect combustion OF any kind of
fuel. This invention is one of the tri-
umphs of modern science, and one for
which they have been striving for many
years. It is entirely new and is care
fully patented in the United States, Can
ada and Europe. Experiments have
shown that 1t effects a saving of SO per
cent in the use Of any kind Of fuel. No
| invention can be more useful than one
| like the great Doyle Air Burner which
effects an economy thateis worldwide in
it's scope. and marks a new era in in
.dustrial affairs. AS every householder is
the user Of more or less fuel this is an
invention which appeals to and will be
bought by practically the whole popula-
Etion for the very good reason that they
|cannot, afford to do without it. 1t will
! in a very short time, save. the amount
lit costs to buy it. It promises to be
as profitable as the sewing machine, the
|cotton gin, the gimlet pointed screw, the
telegraph and telephone and others OF
the most profitable inventions It is 9

MONEY FOR 'IONKA.|
County Board Will Be Asked for
Funds for Long Needed
Improvements.
Reefs Will Be Dredged and Many
Changes Made for Benefit
of Yachtsnen.

Extensive improvements are to be made
at Lake Minnetonka before the season
opens next summer and 1t is likely that
work will be begun as soon as the ice goes
out in the spring. The county commits
sioners will be asked to make a fair-sized
appropriation for the lake and it is proba-
BILE that the request win be granted.
There are several nasty reefs in the lake
which ought to have been removed years
ago, and the plans contemplated next
season include the dredging of Gibson,
Point Lookout and Spray Island reefs, all
three Of which have caused much trouble
Within the last year or two scores Of
electric naphtha, gasolene and other
launches have been put in commission on
Minnetonka; and their use makes the re-
moval Of these reefs almost q neces-
,sity. In the past the work of dredging has
been done under the direction Of Captain
Johnson, wellknown Minnetonka
steamboat man; and, while it has been
done thoroughly, it has consisted largely
in keeping the regular channels open for
steamboat traffic, little attention having
been paid to reefs out Of the regular
course but which still are source OF
great annoyance to launch owners whose
cruisers are not confined to the "srand
tour This year that mistake is to be
rennedied. 80 49,. = ~ .s'-S
Another scheme which will be hailed
with delight by suburbanites calls for: the
lighting Of the most dangerous reefs al
night something, that has never been done
heretofore. -.,5t555a. ,.. 3. y. s<=
The channel through the narrows will
be improved and the lpiling on the Eeas
bank repaired. A walk will also be con,
structed along the bank so that sail boats
may be towed through easily when at
tempting the passage against a head wind
| All this will cost money; but it j!
| thought that the commissioners can b,
| n q Cy1f oil
priation. Minnetonka is one of the mos
charming suburban resorts anywhere i,
the country, and it should not be neg
| lected as it has been in the past Z.
However, the improvements outline.
above are almost certain to be made thi
year; and, in addition, it has been pro
posed to organize an association amon
lake jewellers which shall have as it's OBJ
ject' the Improvement, Of Minnetonk
waterways, and which. shall be manages
along lines similar to those of the loca

LOOK OUT FOR BAD BILLS!
New Brunswick Bills, Relics of

!. Circulating Here. u.

Minneapolis has " been flooded with
worthless bills which look so much like.

size as the bank and treasury notes in use
feature is that they all bear the name Of
the State Bank of New, Brunswick, N. J.
The bills were turned out by the Ameri-
can Bank Note company and the National
Bank Note company and the lathe work
and engraving. Is especially fine. The
colors are exactly the same as used in
modern bills.
Minneapolis have done SO with the un-
,derstanding that the notes were issued by
q bank in New Brunswick, Canada,
which accounted for the unfamiliar de-
sign. The makeup of the bills has heleed
the deception, for in all the designs "New
Brunswick is played up strongly while
the New, Jersey or. IN. j. always ap-
States" do not appear on the bills any
where. !. = J.. .>...-. r.: ...- ".
