ONE BOYS BRILLIANT IDEA
Youngster Told His Father to Try
Scissors and So Invented Reap
ing Machines.

In 1880 Obed Hussey of Ohio was in
venting reaping machine, the first
ever designed in this country
His chief difficulty was the cutting
device, which was three large sick1es,
set in a frame and revolved SO as to
cut into the grain 1t would not work
satisfactorily.
A young son, watching the expert
ment, asked his father why he did not
use lot of big scissors, with one
handle fastened to one bar, and the
other handle to a sliding bar, thus
opening and closing them
Hussey instantly adopted the idea,
substituting for scissors the two saw
toothed blades which are in common
use today on harvesters, the cutting
action being quite similar to that of
scissors.
From the boys suggestion he per-
fected in one week a machine on
which he had in vain exercised all
his ingenuity for the preceding two
years
The principle of the cutting device
is the principle of all of the great har-
vesting machines, and it's benefit to
the farming Industry of the entire
world has been unsurpassed by any
other invention for use on the FARM

strange thing, that point of view. 1t
made a man talk of his little cubby-
hole on the fifth floor of tenement as
my apartments 1t made him put up
a front, as near to a millionaire's as
he could initiate, and he'd live on pork
and beans. In other words, the New
York point of view was calculated to
make everybody and everything look
like money, and that was all anybody
ever looked for there at that time.
"a young man would come from the
hinterland to New York and get job,
and for the first few weeks he'd go
along his way as a young man should
go who expected to be the boss some
day. He'd go home at night and sleep,
and he'd save little money. But
soon the bug would start working on
him. The first symptom would show
in his buying cane and discovering
Broadway. The next downward step
would be learning to eat spaghetti in
Italian restaurants. After that the
rest was simple. The. young man
would go home in the evening, but
only to change his collar and get his
stick. Sometimes he would eat and
sometimes he wouldn't. But no mat
ter, when you'd see him uptown at
night under the lights you had to adj
init that he looked like a. typical New
Yorker, and that was what the young
mans soul craved. After that he'd go
home and feel that the day had not
been misspent.
"By this time If you ever asked him
if he hadn't come from Oskaloosa, or
Chicago, or some other American city
he'd be ready to fight He was New
Yorker by this time, and if he got as
far as Coney Island he thought he was
travelling. And with this We close the
book on a young but misspent life.
For nobody ever recovered after the
bug had done its work. They were
sealed to Manhattan island then. They
would rather live there thirty minutes
than any other place thirty years;
they said so themselves. That was

why the park benches always were so
full.
What became of them all? Nobody
knew-or cared. New York was the
first city in this country to discover
that it could do away with it's heart
and soul. People used to talk about
the heart of New York 1t had none.
Other cities tried to initiate 1t in this,
but they looked like nice little school
children playing robbers. If person
had money all of New York knew
where he was You bet it did; it need
ed him in its business. If he had no
money, nobody except perhaps the po-

Beneath the big receiving float Of
the F. c. & A. Aerial line twinkled the
scattered night lights of New York
city-the new New York, the New
York of 1862. Capt. Martin MacManus,
master airigator, retired, and the
young float superintendent pulled lux
uriously at their midnight cigars and
gazed down into the vast silence.
Hundreds of tiny air craft, their
single white turret lights marking them
as private, streamed to and fro along
the passenger lanes. The traffic lanes
were empty, save for the inevitable
numbering newspaper carriers bearing
the hours papers to the express floats
at the lower end of the island.
No hum of crowded humanity came
upward through the night to the float,
for the humanity that once had packed
Manhattan island now was scattered
over the new 200 mile Metropolitan
area, a feat that had been made pos
sible by Durang's mastery of the law
of gravitatioR and the consequent de-
velopment of cheap, safe and swift
aerial transportation.

intendent musingly, that once upon a
time that island was crowded SO tight
ly that people were pushed off the
piers"

man, why did the people swarm SO to

whole open country all around?''

They were afflicted with the New

place had them hypnotized, as say, no

1t didn't make any difference who or
