Mysterious Happenings Puzzle.

Psychologists and students of the
supernatural have been investigating
a series of strange manifestations at
Cheriton, near FOlkestOne, England.
T. w. Rolfe, a local builder, had con-
tracted to construct an underground
retreat in the grounds of EnbrooA
Manor. He had been at work for some
days when he was attacked by stones
and pieces of rock, which were hurled
at him by some mysterious agency.
Hammers and other implements float
ed' through the air towards him and
his candles were extinguished by jets
of sand. He was injured by the mis-
siles, and gave up work for two days,
but on resuming operations the same
terrifying experiences were repeated,
and he has now relinquished the work
altogether. Sir Conan Doyle and Sir
William Barrett, eX-president Of the
Society for Psychical Research, have
examined the excavation and ques-
toned the witnesses. They expressed
the opinion that some intangible pow
er had been at work.

INVENTORS
FINANCIAL
DIFFICULTIES
How They Have Struggled to
Obtain Money; Your Thrift
Helps Progress of World
By S. W. STRAUS
prominent New York and Chicago Banker)

1t has been said that there is room
for just so much in the human brain
and if ones ability is as highly spe-
cialiZed as an inventors, there is no
chance of being capable in business
affairs. Certainly, this has been borne
out in the case of most inventors.
Those servants of civilization have,
almost without exception, faced finan-
cial difficulties of the most disheart-
aning character. Only few were for
tunate in connecting up with men of
business ability who relieved them of
financial responsibilities.
Watt, the inventor Of the steam en-
CINE, was so situated. When he start
ed his experiments he was the pos
SCISSOR of a prosperous instrument
making business, employing sixteen
men. He soon became greatly in debt
and formed a partnership with a Doc
tor Roebuck, who agreed to pay 3d.
900 of his debts, provide money for
lurther experiments and secure a pat
ent. In return for these advances he
two had achieved partial success Doc
tor Roebuck suffered financial re-
verses. He was forced to transfer his
interest to Matthew BOulton, a famous
merchant of Birmingham, to whom he
was in debt. Boulton was just the
sort of business genius Watt required.
He built a factory for the manufac-
ture of steam engines and financial
difficulties hampered Watt no more.
Edison, on the other hand, early in
his career refused an offer for a part
ner. Although he has built up a large
fortune he has frequently lost prac-
tically everything he possessed and
been forced to start all over again.
His business methods" were some
times impractical in the extreme. Once
Edison was offered 100000 for an
invention. He voluntarily offered to
receive payment in annual INSTALL
ments of $4,000 without interest |!
Again, he once received an offer by
cable for 10000" He accepted. When
he received his remittance he was
greatly surprised to learn that it was
$4,000. He had expected $4,000.
Eli Whitney, inventor of the cotton
gin, never really freed himself of fl
nancial worries. He went in partner
ship with a Mr.. Miller, and the two
were forced to fight almost continual
ly for their rights. While Whitney
was experimenting and producing his
Northern Wisconsin advertiser. [volume] (Wabeno, Wis.) 1898-1925, 1918-02-01

first machine, people heard of the Won
derful invention and broke into his
house. They carried away the model
and soon dozen similar machines
were in use. This was. before Whit
ney could obtain a patent. He worked
night and day to produce another
model so that he could go to Wash
ington and patent it, but he was handi-
capped for lack of funds. At length
the patent was secured and then two
years of struggle elapsed before Whit
ney succeeded in proving the superb
GRITTY of his machine over the imita-
tons.
In 1895 he returned from the South
to New Haven, where his factory was
located, only to find that it had burned
down. All his machines and papers
were destroyed. In answer to his let
ter apprising Miller what had occurred
the latter replied, Il will devote all
my time, all my thoughts, all my exer-
tons and all the money l can earn or
borrow to encompass and complete
the business we have undertaken"
Whitney set to work to replace his
factory. He had great difficulty in
securing the necessary capital. To
add to his difficulties, certain manu-
facturer in England stated that the
product of the machine was unsatis-
factory. Whitney wrote to Miller,
'"The extreme embarrassments which
have been for long time accumulat-
ing upon me have now become so great
that it will be impossible for me to
struggle against them many days
longer"
He was still forced to fight in the
courts because of heterogeneous. Law
suits went against him.
At last Whitney succeeded in sell
ing rights of his machine to the state
of South Carolina for $4,000. He re-
peated this in North Carolina and Ten
nessee. But then when success
seemed within his grasp, South Caro-
lima attempted to recind its action and
announced it would not pay the $780,
900 and tried to have the money al
ready advanced to Whitney returned.
Affairs were at the darkest point in
Whitney's long struggle. Just as he
was about to give up, South Carolina
thought better of its decision and paid
the inventor in full.
But a better day seems to have ar
rived for inventors. Modern indus
trial progress has made so many de-
mands for better methods that inven'
tors are now eagerly sought after and
usually treated fairly. Financial aid
is easier to secure. The individual
investor, when he purchases his bonO
may be assisting the development OF
an invention every bit as revolution
airy as the cotton gin. Without the
aid Of his thrift the worlds progress
could hardly proceed.
