WHEN EDISON "ARRIvED."
His First Invention Kept Employers
From Ruin.

Thomas Alva Edison came from
Nashville, Tenn. to New York In the
early '70s to work as electrician in the
offices Of the Franklin, Pacific and At
lantic and Atlantic and Pacific Tele-
graph Offices, which were located on
Broad street, near Wall. Country
boy" was stamped all over him. He
wore a brownish suit and his hat was
soft butternut; his long, lanky hair
stood defiant of brush or comb.
With Mr.. Edison were two young
telegraph experts named Wright and
Johnson, the former a short man with
deep bass voice and the latter slight
er and taller than Edison himself.
They had as an experiment room a
small light-tight wooden cabinet, fitted
up in the office. 1t was an everyday
occurrence for the three men to rush
out to escape from the smoke and
fumes which issued as the results Of
their experiments.
Edison was regarded as a coming
man" in telegraphy, nevertheless. His
first successful invention showed his
quick and facile genius. He was very
deaf and one had to speak quite loudly
to make him hear conversation; yet
his ear detected the faintest metallic
click. One day, while in the midst OF
business, when brokers' messages, gen.
eral kilograms and press dispatches
were on the hooks, the company was
served with an injunction restraining 1t
from using the Page soander, which
was controlled by the Western Union.
The keys were silenced.
Edison grinned and sat down at an
instrument. He reached out for a sheet
of tin, used in making manifold cop
ies," and called for stout pair of scis-
sors. From one Of his pockets-which
were always bulging with wire and
other appliances-he took pair OF
pliers. First he detached the Page
sounder from the instrument, while an
intensely interested crowd watched.
Then he cut a section Of the thin sheet
about three inches wide and four or
five inches in length. He sliced 1t at
either end, making two points, through
each of which he bored a hole. He
then curved 1t lengthwise, doubled up
the ends and fitted them to the instru-
ment precisely where the Page sounder
had been and tapped the key. The
clicking-a joyful sound-could be
heard all over the room. He's got 1t!
He's got it," was the cry, and, sure
enough, the response from the other
end of the line. Did you get me?"
OK! Ok" y
Within an nour every instrument In
the room was equipped with the i'm
provised sounder and business was re-
sumed. The injunction was completely
obviated. In a few days, under Edi-
sons instructions, the factory OF the
company was turning out hundreds or
the new model. Edison's patents now
number nearly thousand, but none OF
them brought him greater fame tnah
this.-Columbian Magazine.

WILD BOAR ON BANK NOTE.
How II Came to Be Used on Ten Yer
Bill of tho Japanese Bank,

Only those we'll versed In the his
tory of Japan have any idea or the
reason why the wild boar Is used as
= decoration on the back of the ten
ven note of the Japan bank, Inc
story dates from the early dawn OF the
country's history, from the beginning
of the period which may be said 10
he historical in contrast with that
part which is wholly mythological,
and has to do with the era OF the
Empress Shotoku, 769 A. d.
II seems that after this empress
had deposed the Emperor Junnin III
765 that the man who had been most
useful to her in her deposition was
certain Dokyo. Dokyo became, with
the favor of the empress, the most
powerful man in the empire. ana al
though he was monk there Is no
doubt but that all the while he was
i'm the service of the empress as her
most trusted retainer he was planning
to seize for himself the imperial
throne.
Through Il follower of his own he
had il suggested to the empress that
the god OF war, Hachiman, had told
him in Il dream that If the empress
would secure the throne to him after
her deceaSe. that the empire would
enjoy forever after years of unbroken
peacc. The empress. however, re-
pljed that she was powerless to do
this. but agreed to consult the oracle
of the god before giving her answer.
Her majesty thereupon sent Wake
no KiyOmaro. whose picture adorns
all the old notes of the Bank OF ia
pan, and instructed him to procure
an answer from the god on this ques-
ton Before setting out on his mis-
sion. however Kiyomaro was ap-
preached by DokyO. who told him that
the empress was favorably inclined to-
ward the project of setting him on the
throne and that if he would see that
a favorable answer was sent back he
should have many favors showered
uDOll MN III lIlc HcSl ltlSu'
The reply of Kiyomaro was not at
all to the liking of DokyO. who
banished KiyOmaro. after mutilating
him in Il horrible manner During
his Punishment he was one day walk
ing i'm the mountains. when he found
that he had completely lost the way.
He was in Il very difficult position,
when suddenly he saw Il herd of wild
boarS directly I'm front of him, SEEM
ingly making off in straight path
through the mountains. He at once
set out To follow them. and after
much hard climbing kiyomaro found
himself ON Il main road in front of Il
temple. But looking for his guides.
he found that they had vanished. He
at once fell on his knees in prayer
to the gods. and went on his way re-
joicing.
This great favor was vouchSafed to
K,y>:aaro because he had refused to
be a paTtty the crime of placing
upon the heavenly descended throne

SHOCKED THE GUIDE.
Antics Of an Irreverent Visitor at the
National Capitol.


4 big man with a fierce, bristling
gray beard and wearing broad brim-
med slOuch hat marched down the
main corridor of the capitol, closely
followed by a guide at dogtrot.
They had inspected statuary hall and
the rotunda and looked In at the
chamber of the supreme court ana
the visitor had made no other COM
ment on the sights shown him than to
utter an occasional grunt, snort or
grOwl.
The big man paused at the end or
the corridor and jerked his head to-
ward a carpeted passage.
Whats them burglars doing to-
day." he demanded.
THE senate is not in session, sir, !"
said the guide in shocked voice.
After the visitor had departed the
guide sat down on his chair in front Of
the statue Of Daniel Webster and
mopped his heated brow.
That's one kind that comes here
he said. I'VE have all kinds, but his
style is the hardest to deal with.
Called the senate burglars heard
him and he kicked at everything
else | showed him. That kind comes
prepared to kick. They amt got no
patriotism at ALL and United States
senator amt no more to them than
doOrkeeper. Why, I'm afraid to take
men like him into the supreme court.
Likely as not they'll say something
disrespectful right out loud. Do you
know what that one said when
showed him statuary hall? He says,
who are all these crooks? Then he
wanted to know how much all them
statues cost the government and who
got the rakeoff. | told him they were
given by the states. and he said that
was once when the states put one
over.
You wouldn't think" said the
guide. with a sigh, that patriotic
Americans could come here and be
SO callous about the things they see.
They seem to begrudge a dollar to be
shown the place where Webster stood
when he made his reply to Hayne. /
don't know what the country'S COM
ing to- I've been guide here twenty
years. but | never thought I'd live to
hear the senate called burglars. -
