PACINOTTI NO PUSHER
ITALIAN INVENTED A DYNAMO
WITH RING IMMATURE.
eut He Let the Discovery Slumber,
and Seven Years Later 1t Was De-
veIoped by Gramme, the Hus-
ting Belgian.

At q moment when an admlring
world echoes with the achievements of
one Italian electrical inventor, there
passes from the earth in deepest OBJ
security another Italian to whom the
arts and sciences are also under obli-
cation. and the contrast is dramatic,
the Scientific American remarks. In
cidentally, 1t may be noted that the
country of Volta by some curious proc
ess of heredity or continuance always
holds her own in the industry to which
Volta gave birth, but only the student
knows that alongside the cleaning
name of Marconi may also be set those
of Pacinotti and Ferraris.
AS far back as 1864 the gentle Ital-
ian physician Pacinotti introduced tim
idly to public notice a small electro
magnetic machine, with toothed ring
armature, which, he pointed out with
prophetic instinct, was available both
as a motor and as a generator. And
then nothing happened! But when
the celebrated Gramme dynamo with
its ring armature arrested universal
attention, seven years later, the unob-
trusive professor dug up his treatise
and his machine and showed beyond a
doubt he was entitled to the credit OF
the discovery, although he lacked the
essential driving power to turn 1t into
a device useful to mankind.
There perhaps lies the lesson OF his
career. We need physical discoveries
No. ouorc thnca mhn cnnH tho frnfh
for its own sake. But mankind with
keen instinct saves its warmest ac-
claim for those who also make discov-
cries Of some avail in adding to the
length of life, its Joy. its possibilities
and its conveniences.
Had not the hustling Belgian,
Gramme, com along with his famous
dynamo and sanguine French hackers.
Pacinotti would have let his model
slumber forever in museums and cab
inets, Just where many things the
world Is waiting for linger now. The
fact that Y. Pacinotti so little realized
what he had done and what his really
great inventive ability meant, Is
shown by the curious fact that the
york and the studies of his later years
were devoted to vine culture. II
he did anything significant there the
records of our time fail to show 1t,
but meanwhile the glorious torrent
Of electrical invention has swept on
so fast and so far to many people
ven this bold recognition of the ami
able doctors genius may seem a bit
super1uous.

Birds Nest in Mail Box

INDIANS STARVING
IN OZARK W|LDS
WITH MONEY AWAITING THEM
--THEY HAVE TAKEN VOWS
NOT TO ACCEPT 1T.

Claremore, Okla, Dec. 23.-Scores
of Indian families living in the wilds
of the Ozarks in eastern Oklahoma,
enrolled as fullbiood Cherokees, are
in destitute circumstances and it is
said some of them may not survive
the winter, while at the Indian
agency checks for Sl3S per capita
are theirs for the asking. Such, in
brief, is the remarkable story Of
the members Of the tribe who be-
iieve that great injustice has been
done them and as a result have tax.
en- VOWS never to accept the money.
When the Dawes commission en-
tered upon the task of allotting
lands to the Indians, it was foun
that strong opposition existed to
the plan. Many socalled fullbloods
ckafed under the thought of havins
their hunting grounds restricted and
have never accepted allotments. The
government was forced to arbitra-
rily allot those who refused and
even to this day they have never
accepted the governments choice.
Three years ago, when the gov
ernment distributed to each Indian
sl33 as his share in the fund which
had accumulated from the removal
of the Cherokees from Georgia tc
Oklahoma, over seventy years ago,
these indians refused TO accept the
money and over forty checks still
remain uncalled for at the agency.
Twenty years ago or more, there
was organized among the Indians a
secret society known as the Kee-to-
wah. or Night Hawks, the object of
which among other things was to
force the government to carry out
the treaties made wherein the gov
be owned in common and tina: the
Indian should Le protected in his
rights The members of this secret
society living remote from centers
of civilization, have not kept in
touch with the ever changing con
,litions and are unable to note the
demands OF The time and the oil
waid march Of civilization. The
vows thev have taken preclude tde !
acceptance of the money or lands

grows greater as time passes.

cold weather approaches and each
year makes the problem greater.

South Carolina comes third with L.
