Furthermore with the Edison phono-

Electricity to be Cheaper.

An invention of the greatest I'M
portance, which will effect a revolution
In the Industrial world. has been made
by Roman electrician, Adolph Tome,
who has succeeded In solving the prob
lem of storing electrical energy.
[ His Invention will make 1t possible
to transmit an electric current with a
loss OF little less than per cent.
no matter how great the distance.
1t will be possible, for instance. to
supply heat, light and power for all
purposes to the city Of Paris with
electricity generated by the waterfalls
Of Switzerland ut a price that will drive
all the present electric companies out
OF business.
. An American syndicate is said to
have offered the inventor 81 .OOO, 600
for the American patent, but the offer
has not been accepted.

The editor Of this magazine mas
frequently urged his readers 10 90 ail
they can towards making the nothe ~,
as cheerful us possible for all the
family.
Now want to tell you how you
can cheer and brighten your nome In
a simply wonderful way.
Read what Thomas 4. Edison the
worlds greatest inventor "the wizard
of the Goth Century" has !:
At want to see phonograph IN
every American home
If Won have never had a genuine
phonograph in your home you can
not imagine what wonderful pleas
ure ii will be to you.
What pieces can l hear on a phono-
grsph?" some may ask.
Well, you can hear almost anything.
There are 1900 genuine Edison gold
moulded records and you can nave
your choice OF these.
Suppose you get some vaudeville
records reproducing to absolute per-
fection the greatest comic artists. Then
take some band music. Sousa's
Marches, WnltZes by Strauss, soul
stirring lively music; then grand opera
concert pieces as well as the finest
vocal solos; also comic songs, ragtime,
dialogs, comic recitations, piano, organ,
violin. banjo and o. instrumental
music; all kinds of sacred music, duets,
Guartettes, full choruses.
The Edison records are perfect
absolutely natural-and unlike the In
ferior though higher priced records OF
Others the Edison records never be-
come rasping and scratchy.
The smooth, round sapphire point
of the Edison Reproducer does not
REQUIRE changin it does not wear it
self or the record with which it comes
In contact. Consequently, Edison Gold
Moulded Records last for years. This
is feature that merits the ost care
ful attention of the prospective pur-
chaser.
Possibly you have heard stalking
machines" and have not cared much
for them, but remember that there
are machines that reproduce only
sound and noise; the sweetness, and
the perfect expression for which you
prize music are reproduced only by the
modern Edison Phonograph and the
Edison Gold Moulded Records. These
qualities distinguish the Edison Phono-
graph from all its limitations.

Colonel Harrison, an officer In the
British Army. has brought with him
from the Ituri forests Of the Belgium
Congos half dozen pygmies.
Colonel Harrison went last year
into the Ituri forest, also known as
Stanley forest, hoping to capture one
or more okapis. This part Of his ex-
pedition was q failure. On the other
hand, he succeeded in living four
months amid the pygrnies and per-
suaded four men and two women of
the tribe to accompany him to
Europe.
The long Journey has been accomp.
lished by the six dwarfs in the face
lot q thousand difficulties. Colonel
Harrison and his proteges were de-
tanned at Khartoum and later at Cairo
for several weeks, certain English
philanthropic societies having earnest
" opposed their expatriation. The ex.
p1orer was obliged to prove to the
British Government that the dwarfs
were with him voluntarily.
The ak pygmies were of course duly
measured by the English anthropolo-
gists on their arrival In London. Their
mean height was feet inches for
men and feet inch for women.

mads, having neither fields nor houses,
and live only on game and wild fruits.
Their household utensils are limited
to few earthen saucepans, IN which
they cook game without taking the
trouble to skin 1t. They eat the skin
as well as the meat, even breaking the
bones with their teeth.
Are Sons Of Nature.
They walk about completely un.

Both the men and women shave the
head partially; some cut straight paths

it with birds feathers or squirrel

They have absolutely no religious in.

is hard in the somber Congo forests;
nature is pitiless task-master to this
remnant of the race that once peopled
the greater part of Africa. The rain
that falls in torrents for eight months
transforms the ground into marsh.
It may be added that the pygmies
are remarkably Intelligent, that they
