INVISIBLE PERISCOPE
WANTED, SAYS EDISON
Inventor, Off for South, Urges
Youths to Get Busy.

Thomas A. Edison, leaving Yesterday
for Florida for a four weeks vacation,
left an idea for ambitious inventors.
~ wish some young fellow he sad,
would invent an invisible pcriscopc.
Let him get up a contrivance that will
make it possible for submarine TO
see its victim without projecting its
huge, ugly eye out Of the water to give
warning. Then let him approach the
Naval Consulting Board with this, and,
if 1t is successful, his fame is made.
and it shouldn't be so hard 70 in
vent" tho worlds greatest inventor
added. Ell some young fellow that's got
brains gets 10 work at it."
Mr. Edison is insistent that Congress
build the government laboratory he has
recommended, in which a thorough trial
can be given 20 every idea for improv-
ing means of defence forwarded by
poor inventors. There is only one way
10 invent. Edison says and that is to
invent; the government must realize
this.
Mr. Edison and his wife intend 20
spend four weeks in the South. The IN
yentor has completely equipped
laboratory in Florida. and will divide
his time between il and fishing.

Spring, with that nameless pathos IN
the air which, it is alleged, dwells
with all things fair; Spring, with her
reputed golden sun and supposed silver
rain, is with US, according TO the
Weather Bureau and Hoods Sarsa-
parilla Almanac.
Not only do these two authorities
insist that the ;ernal season is upon Us,
but the spring-potes say so, too, IN
lyrics which were written last Novem-
Der for the May magazines, now on
sale. According TO them. Spring, "a
hoyden girl. all wreathed in da;fodils,
runs with light feet along the Avenue
II she did il yesterday she wore ga
loshcs and sucked a menthol lozenge.
Furthermore, she must have run SO
fast that she accomplished her entire
course in less time even than it took
the last ST. Patrick's Day parade TO
pass a given point. No one saw Spring
in New York yesterday. She denied her
self to reporters and refused &c issue
any statement Probably she remained
in her room at a hotel, with her feet
in a foot tub. Dafodils were no cloth

II Spring was not in secluslon here,

deep in the snow and mud somewhere

commission would look with favor upon
such legislation. provided il can be had
IN Justice to all interests concerned.
That is. this commission wishes 20 be
understood as not interposlng any OBJ
lection 20 action by the Legislature
which will secure 10 the people Of these
sections reductions in rates that have
been delayed by the technical provision
Of the law as n stands. The commits
sion intends shortly 20 submit bills
that will expedite the making and en-
forcement of decisions"
These gas bills were introduced BY
Senator Robert r. Lawson. a member
OF the Thompson committee which is
investigating the Public Service Com
mission. and Assemblyman Frederick s.
Burr. The bills will effect the reduc
tion in tho 30th and 3lst wards in
Brooklyn Bay Ridge and Coney Island
and in the "a Ward in Queens. which
is Newtown. The rate remained al 81
in the two Brooklyn wards when it was
reduced to so cents in the rest Of the
city, in 1906. The rate has since been
reduced 20 95 cents in BAY Ridge. In
Newtown tho rate was reduced from 81
to o. cents in May, 1913. but went back
10 81 in May. 1914.
The bills. for some reason. do not
include the 4th Ward in Queens.
which includes Woodhaven. Richmond
Hill and Jamaica. where the rate is
still 81. Cases involving all these sec
lions have been before the committee
for many months.
