EXPECT THEIR HOSE TO 1Asx.
Men Are Partial to the Variety That

Men Are Partial to the Variety That
Plays All Kinds of queer Tricks.
You don't seem to be making much
OF a display Of hose" said the regular
caller to the hardware merchant who
was arranging his spring stock on the
sidewalk in front of the store, says the
Providence Tribune.
No." replied the hardware mer-
chant, somewhat grufiy. "I've told
you several times that we don't do
much with hose. Nobody can after a
community's got settled down. We've
got two or three shots of hose on
hand in case there's any demand for
1t, but we don't sell much of it. When
a man buys few feet of hose he ex-
poets it'll last forever and he makes
1t last forever, even If 1t leaks at
every pore, as it generally does after
it's been In the cellar one winter. It'll
squirt all over everything and every
body except the lawn, but he ties rags
around the broken places until it looks
as If it had been through a war. and
let's 1t squirt. He won't come down
and order any new hose.
"One reason is you can't get a boy
to water the lawn with a new hose.
A boy likes a hose that'll wet him
through and play all kinds of queer
tricks; the more it leaks the better
he likes it. But if you have brand
new hose and you can make him touch
1t at all he'll take it out and turn It
on wagons and dogs and people that
are going by, and you'll have q police
man at the back door in an hour or
two complaining of him. Once in a
good while man'll buy lot of land
and build new house and order a
new hose, but 1t amt often enough to
make it worth while to carry much of
stock.
eff you wouldn't lean your whole
weight on thai vine in that box 1t
might do better when it comes to be
transplanted," concluded the hardware
merchant. "Ain't there no more arms
on that armchair in there for you to
white off?"

Monorail the Successor to the
Present Railroad.

Two questions seem to be the most
important problems of the age. They
are Where is the speed limit?" and
How fast is it possible to travel
given distance?"
When the first automobiles reached
such perfection that a speed of TWEEN
ty-five miles an hour was made with
out injury to machines or drivers the
public gasped, the Baltimore Sun says.
Yet little by little this record has been
changed, until recently Barney Old
field dashed around mile course in
q seconds, the equivalent Of 131
miles an hour. And this remarkable
rate of speed Barney coolly promises
to exceed the next time he enters
contest.
Already 1t is possible to leave New
York ON Monday morning and take
dinner on Friday in Liverpool. Naval
men experimenting with oil fuel pre-
dict that within six months or year
the trip will be reduced from five
days to three. Small craft burning oil
fuel have plowed through the sea on
test runs at the rate of fifty miles an
hour Aeroplanes are showing aston
ishing rates of speed Beriot's tri-
umph in crossing the English Channel,
leaving far behind steamers which
left France at almost the same mo-
ment, has shown the scientific world
what is possible and his record may
be broken at any time. The bird-like
flights of flying machines at recent ex-
hibitions show clearly that these de-
vices will one day rival the highest
rate of speed motion attained by We
hicles on the earth's surface. 1t may
be that they will exceed them.
Tremendous speed means the saving
of time, and this is a time-saving era,
Time is money. and every second
saved means dollars to the hustling
business men of this generation This
probably Is the real reason for the
eternal striving for faster methods Of
transportation
In England there is in operation 9
queer looking vehicle which, 1t Ii
claimed by the inventor. can be rur

FROM ONE WIZARD TO ANoTHnR

How Thomas A. Edison Found the
Diary of samuel r. ID. Morse.
In the middle "S0's" Thomas A.
Edison took a house in Gramercy
Park, New York City, where he found
himself very well situated for the leis-
ure which he always enjoys, being by
nature a reposeful man and not the
grinding dynamo that people so often
fancy him. Few things suit better the
mood of idleness than 10 poke aim
lessly around an old house that has
Its legible traces and signs OF human
occupancy, and thus one day Edison
found himself in the garnet Of the
house, where some old furniture had
been stored, writer in the Metropolis
says. Opening one of the drawers, he
saw lying within a fat oblong book
labeled Daily Journal" Te his
establishment this proved TO be moth
ing less than an original diary kept
by Samuel F. B. Morse, inventor OF
the universal system Of telegraphy
which bears his name. The entries
belonged to a brief but most interest,"
ing period Of his life, the year 1845s
supplemented by transcripts of i'm
portant correspondence dated back as
far as 1843, when the electromagnetic
telegraph system was being constructs.
ed between Washington and Baltb-
more.
Edison put the book away carefully
and took 1t with him when he estabA
lished himself at his present country
home in New Jersey. He has now
placed 1t in the hands Of the AmeFk
can Institute Of Electrical Engineers,
with the remark in his accompanying
letter Of July %, 1903: "As this ap-
pears to me to be matter of great
scientific and public interest, i feel
that this journal should be placed
where 1t may be accessible to others,
and / therefore take much pleasure
in forwarding the same herewith and
in presenting 1t to your institute in
the hope that 1t may be deemed worthy
of receiving a place among the me-
mentos of the telegraphic art in your
library"
That Edison himself. the great tel
egraph inventor of our age, who stands
next in line to Franklin and Morse
as master of the electrical forces,
should have CHANGED thus casually on
a lost relic of his predecessor is, to
say the least, a notable coincidence.
