Of paper is wrapped around a comb.

Inventors Do Net Az Die Poor.
The rewards gained by Inventions
IN the past so years have been far In
excess Of those that accrued TO the
earlier inventor. although the general

impression vas due partly 20 the fact
that whitney. who invented the cot
ton gin; Goodyear. who FIRST vulcan

Edison and the Phonooraph.

The greatest Of our inventors,
Thomas A. Edison, owes his invention
OF the photograph partly to an acci-
dent. Edison had been working night
and day to perfect the telephone, and
had constructed a number Of small
sheepskln drumheads. 10 test their
value as diaphragms as compared With
metal and other substances. To some
OF these sheepskin -diaphrsgms be had
attached a magnetic needle which was
intended to project toward the magnet
and assist in conveying the vibration
caused BY the human voice.

The closing of the doors OF the Mill

anguish. suffering and trouble than any
similar event in the west in many
years. 1t was followed by several sui
