ORIGIN or THE PHoNOdRApH.

Many Of the great inventions
and discoveries Of modern times
came about through some acci-
dent For instance, a cut on the
finger caused Edison to invent
The phonoErarh or talking ma
chine This Is the account as
g.ru I'm the Young People,
.raper
Air Edison told the story of
,h. invention 70 % reporter At
tde time hc said. he was sing
uH into @ telephone, and in the
'aUHoHc mouthpicce he had
placed for safe keeping % fine
..l. point. Suddenly this point
eJ. his finger He found 20 his
urprsa that it had been moving
here and there and roundabout
guided by the vibrations of his
voice.
Tie placed a strip of yellow
paper under the steel point, re-
placed &c In the mouthpiece and
said thc alphabet. The Steel
while Dc spoke, ran over the pa-
pen and for each letter Of the
a.phabetitm made q different mark
or scratch
This was what Mr.. Edison had
hoped i0r He now held the
a- p0'n. and drew the paper
scratches slowly over it. There
Wa given forth very family the
alphabet a he had repeated it.
Thus the principle of the
monograph the registering and
the reproduction Of the voice
vibrations was discovered throu-
Eh tHc cutting of a finger lJ

and u5 phonograph would have
resulted. The Classmate.

The rapid settling up of Jlo
Harvey and Christina Lake vale
ley and other fertile sections of
Northern Lake County wil. soon
prove an irresistible attraction
for real railroad builder But
for the iron grasp of the Harri-

bee= opened up long ago, says
q recent issue of the Portland
Board of Trade Journal How
that for people who are trying TO
tell the outside world something

MARSHALL FIELDS WEALTH
INVENTORY REVEALS LARGE SEE
 CURiTiES HOLDINGS.
The Executors Conservative Estimate Gives $75,ooo GOO as Total
 Value of Estate.

Chicago. Ill.-iarshall Fields vast wealth was set forth in detail late Thursday, when an inventory of his estate was filed in probate court. The par value of numerous stocks and bonds were given and huge realty holdings were enumerated. In the lat ter classification there was no attempt to even estimate values In spite of the fact that the merchant occupied a first rank as owner of real estate in Chicago and was possessed of large landed property elsewhere, especially in New York City, the bulk of his richces consisted of securities which represented investments not only in Chicago, but also from the eastern to the western coast of America and some in foreign countries.
 In the executors extremely conser- yative estimate of S75,000 ,000 as the total value of the Field estate the per sonal property is placed at s50,000. 900. The par value of the stock and bonds is given, but no statement is made showing the present cash value ol tHtSe SetulItltS- | lie IHNeStIieHls are generally among those classed as gilt edged and the securities gener- ally have far higher market value than the par figures would indicate. In some cases the market value of the stock is five times as great as the par value and estimates of total wealth place it all the way from $100, ,000, 900 to S150000,000. An examination or the securities shows that MT Field was interested in a multiplicity of bus ineses-banks, railroads in this and other countries, telephones, telegraph companies and bond and mortgage concerns, in fact, almost anything in an industrial line, and that he was a veritable railroad prince.

Will Study Birds.

Washington. Jan.-Representative Lacey of Iowa. who has been a per sistcnt champion of wild birds, led winning fight in restoring to the agricultural appropriation bill a sec tion relating to biological investiga- tions and appropriating 44,420 for the purpose of making scientific study of the food habits of North American birds and mammals in relation to az riculture, horticulture and forestry. The white fly of Florida, the thrips of California, the rootworm in the grape vineyards of Pennsylvania and the Middle West, and the gypsy moth of Massachusetts, the tobacco districts of Kentucky and Tennessee. were al so the subject of consideration by the house in connection with the agricul- tural appropriation bill By united action the delegations from the sec tions named were enabled to poll 75 votes against 36 in favor of increas. ing the amount set aside in the bill for chronological investigations to the ex- tent of $2S,500. The appropriation of $40,o00 immediately available, for cotton boil weevil investigation. was, on a point of order made by Repre- sentative Fitzgerald, stricken out of the bill or the ground. as Mir Fitzger- aid said, that it was an urgent de- ficiency item and should he included in a deficiency appropriation b:ll. Al though the necessity for the money was pointed out, the chair sustained the point of order.

Against Immigration.

City of Mexico. Jan.-Tte Mexican government has been formally re- quested by the United States to aid the latter in preventing undesirable immigrants from crossing the border from Mexico into the United States. The American consul here has direct ed note to the Mexican government, calling attention to the influx into the United States of large number of Assyrians. who are constantly being disembarked at Vera Cruz by French and German boats, and who. after re- maining a few days at that port, pro ceed on their journey to the north western Mexican frontier with the very probable intention of trying to get across the border into the United States. The question of stopping i'm migration into the United States in this way has long been under consid eration by the American immigration officials and the Washington authori- ties. The especially undesirable i'm migrants who are said in this way to try to enter the United States, when they know it would be impossible to do so through any of the Atlantic ports, are those afflicted with the dreaded trachoma, the eye disease so common to the lower class of Euro pean people The communication from the American embassy. it is stated, refers to those immigrants af
 flicted with infectious diseases, and what action the Mexican government will take Is not known. The commu- nication is being considered by the Superior Board of Health and the Commission on Federal Affairs.
