EDISON'S METHODS.
He Ioe Not Iriwnt by ArrUUiit or With
out Hard Work.
Edison's penius comes near to justi
fvim that definition 'f the word
v.hich makes it an iniinite capacity mr
taking pains, says the Uevicw ..I i.o-vic-vs
'"Are your discoveries oitcrt
brilliant intuitions? Do they com-.; to
v.. while von are lyiny 'awake
"l.iirhtsV " I asked him.
I never did anything worth doner
l.y accident," he replied, -nor did u-.y
. f my inventions come indirectly
through aeci.lent. except the p'.o.o-r-raph.
No; when I have fully decided
that a result is worth petting 1
ahead on it and make trial utter trial
until it comes. I have alwins kept
stiietly within the lines of commercial
ly useful inventions. 1 have nevVr had
unv time to put on electrical wonders,
v liuaoie simply as novelties to catc.i
the popular fancy." And he named m
distinction some noted electricians
who had made their reputations
ti.roujrh the pyrotechnics of the pro
fession. What makes you work?" I asked,
with real curiosity. -What impels
you to this constant, tireless stniprlc?
You have shown that you care m
paruUvc'.y nothing for the money it
makes, and you have no particular en
thusiasm in the attending fame."
I like it." he answered, after a mo
ment of puzzled expression, ami then
lie repeated his reply several times, as
if mine was a proposition that had not
.K-curred to him before. "I like t- 1
don't know any other reason. You
know some people like to collect
stamps. Anything that 1 have Wo-iin
is always on my mind, and I am not
ca.-v while away from it until it is im
plied. And then I hate it."
Mate it?" I asked, struck by his em
phatic t-nes.
Yes." he anirmcd, "when it is nil
done un. I is a success 1 can't bear the
sipht of it. I haven't used a telephone
in ten years, ami 1 would o-o out of my
av anv day to miss an incandescent

A JOB FOR THE PREACHER.
It Waa to l :ielir a 'oiivr-lon or the
Funrral of a Jloiintaliin-r.
The mountain circuit rider met me
at the foot of Hurricane pap in the Pine
mountains, says a Detroit Free Press
man. and we rode alontr tor-th.-r, and
about a mile from where the roads
forked we were stoped by u nioiiii
taincer with a Winchester, whom tin
preacher knew, lie presented me in
due form, and when the native knew 1
was un outsider" he didn't hesitate- to
talk.
"I just stopped yer," he said to the
preacher, "ter ax yer to come up to the
house in the niornin"."
Anyb'xly sick?" imiuired the
preacher.
"No. anil tlie mountaineer Hesi
tated. "You know you have been a
talkin" ter me fer a lonir time erlout
pitti-uri-lipion.au' I been a holdin" tTt"
The preacher nodded mid looked
pleaseil. f-r t here w as a tone of peni
tence in the native's voice.
"Well, 1 ve ernoiit maili- up my mind
that I've pot ter the p int when some
thinp's pt ter be done. Jim I'ullins
come by my place this niornin' an"
killed one uv my .loirs when I was
away, an" you've hcerd me say w hat 1
thciupht of Jim (.ullitis many a time
afore this'."
The preacher nodded sorrowfully
this time.
"Well. I'm poin" down to se- Jim
now," nt in ued t lie mod n taiiu-er. "an'
if 1 pit him I'll be ready to jine the
meet in house when you come up in the
mornin". and if Jim pits me you'll have
a funeral to preach. so"s you won't lose
notion' by it nohow. I must be ;rittiii"
alonp: jrool-ly." And. slinpinp his
Winchester into the hollow of liis arm.
he hurried away throuplt the thieki-t.
h-avinp the circuit rider and me sitliup
on our horses in the road, eomph-tel v
kniH-keil out by the suildcnncss of it
all and the peculiarity.
THE NIMBLE ELEPHANT.
lie Vrnturrt In l'li,-t Which W'oalil l'uz
vie Mule.
It is a remarkable thinp that ele
phants are able to make their way up
and down mountains and thronjrh a
country of steep cliffs where mule-.
Woiilil n.it dare venture, and even
where men find pas-.apc d i t:c ult. Their
tracks have been found upon the ver
sun nn it of mountain ; over seven t In la
sand feet hiph. In these journeys ai
elephant is often compelled to descend
hills and mountain sides which arc al
most precipitous. This is tin- way in
w hich it is done: The elephant's tirst
maneuver is to kneel down close to the
declivity. One fori- lep is then cau
tiously passed over the edpe and
short way down the slope, ami if he
finds there is no pood sjxit for a tirm
foothold, he sH-cdily forms one bv
stampinp into the soil if it is moist, or
k'u kinp out a f.x.tinp if itisdry. When
he is sure of a pxl foothold the other
fore lep is broupht down in the same
way. Then he performs the same
work over apaiu with his feet, brinp
inp lot h fore leps a little in advance
of the tirst footholds. This leaves p nkI
sure places all made and ready for the
hind feet. Now. hracinp himself l
his hnpe, stronp fore leps. he draws his
hind leps. first one and then the other,
carefully over the edpe, where they oc
cupy the first places made by the fore
feet. This is the way the hnpe unimal
proceeds all the way down, zip.ap.
klieelinp every time with the two hii.,1
leps, while he makes footholds with
his forefeet. In this way tl center
of pravity " is preserved ami the hupe
beast prevented from toppling- over on
his nose.

THE GRtAT INLAND CITY.
Vhat lfaa llelped fliicaffo in Her Phe
nomenal 1- row! fa..
A generation ag-o, says the London
Spectator, America consisted of the
settled not theastern and southeastern
states and of the frreat expanse of
more or less vill continent lehind
them. Year l.y year, however, the
population has Wen spread inr west,
and every fri'r.h census has pushed in
land the" mean line of population
the line on either side of which the
population is equal. The shni ilea nee
of this gradual withdrawal of the menu
population line fnm the coast must
not W missed. The fact means that
the Anffhr-Saxons in the l'nite.1 States
are iH-ivimin what they have never
been lefore in their history, an inland
rieople.
In a verj- little time the vast major
ity of Americans will not only have
never seen the sea. but will never have
leen wit hin a thousand milesof it. The
destiny of the American jn'ople istolx?
coiue as much a people of great inland
plaitis as the Kiissians, ami this fact
will le made clear to the world when
travelers leave the ocean at New
York, and after traveling- inland over
a ttiolisaud miles find themselves in a
city as hi; as Vienna, aud ten times as
rich and energetic.
The existence of a great city so far
removi-d from the sta is prol.al.lv
uni.iie in the world's history. Delhi
in the days of its greatest prosjM-rity
h.'.il no doubt a very lar;e population
but unless Moscow can le called great
we can recall no other great city of an
cietit or modern times situated in Un
heal t .f a continent. It may le sai!
that Chicago is an exception only in
name. an. I that it could never have
achieved the position it has achieved
but for the fact that it is situated on
the shores of a great double-armed in
land sea. No doubt the great lakes
have helped Chicag-o, and no doubt
also the fact that they require from
the populations which surround them
all the sea faring qualities of the Eng
lish race will prevent its inhabitants
from Incoming too inlandish in their
habits.
Chicago, however, is not enough in
the middle of the continent to bold
forever the position of the typical
American city. As the center of popu
lation shifts westwanl her relative to
sitioii will decline, and she will ulti
mately have to give way to some
younger rival in the west and south,
possessed of a pvological position more
suited to the commercial capital of a
liati-m of some two hundred millions
of inlan.l people. Still, as we have said
aln.ve, Chicago for the time will serve
as an object lesson in regard to the
great change which has come over the
conditions under which the American
continent is inhabited.
INCONTESTABLE POLICIES.
I.lfe Inauranee Conipsnlrft Iaaue Thria
Only ia KuroM and Oi.tr.tl A ii.eric-m.
The policies written by some of the
leading life insurance companies of
this country are incontestable for any
cause wiiatsoever. If a policy holder
commits suicide immediately after pay
ing his first premium, and In'fore the
ink is dry on his jiolicy, his heirs will
receive the money just the same. That
is because the companies know that
life is the most precious msscs ion of
every individual, and that very few in
deed will throw it away in order to
iK-nefit an heir. The "incontestable
clause" is found, however, only in the
American policies. Those issued to
Europeans, t entral Americans and
South Americans do not have them.
One of the chief ollicials of a leading
company recently said to a reporter
for the New York Sun:
"AH onr foreign policies are written
subject to cancellation. It is true we
discover very little fraud among the
KurojH-an policy hohlers, but that is
because their schemes are so clever we
cannot run them down. The chief
reason for our writing less litieral m1
ieies abroad and in the southern nr-
tion of this continent is, however, he
cause wars are so frequent and so lia
ble to occur at any moment. Europe
is always on the brink of a great war.
and if we should write incontestable
policies there we might Ik- ruined any
time. In the Central and South Amer
ican state i revolutions are in progr.-s:
all the time. If our policies were not
subject tocancellat ion there we should
be subjected to great losses continual
ly. Our method is to write policies
freely, but to cancel them whenever
a revolutioti occurs in the countries in
which the policy holders reside."
A t'heniiral Triumph.
The complete isolation of flourine
by a French scientist is a recent chem
ical triumph which has excited much
interest. Flourine, as deserilied for
the i.pular understanding, hasasiuell
resembling that of h3-p.K-hh.r0us acid,
which is somewhat masked by the
odor of ozone, from its action on wa
ter vapor. It, of course, acts powerful
ly on the respira -ory org-ans, even
when greatly diluted, and it causes in
sensibilty, lasting as long as a week or
more, of the mucous membrane of the
nose. It is of a yellowish-green color,
somewhat liglKer and yellower than
chlorine. It combines explosively
with hydrogen, even at a great cold
and in the dark, and sulphur, solen-
imn and tellurium take fire in it at or
dinary temperatures. ISroiiiirie and
iodine burn in it with a flame of low
temperature, and amorphous cartton.
amorphous loron, and esjecially crys
talline silicon, with the evolution of
great heat. Many other substances
burn in it, oxygen and nitrogen ap
pearing to be the only elements with
which it does not unite.
Kevolatmnar j l nlfornm.
During- the revolution the most elab
orate of uniforms were designed for
the American officers, and the men
were ordered to wear green shirts, "if
they could be procured." As a matter
of fact very few- uniforms were worn.
everyKnly wore what he happened to
have and the navy was clothed in mot
ley array. The native I .or 11 American
seamen, most of them, wore the can
vas petticoat, and they all wore the
hair in a braid down the back, waxing
it to make it curl up at the end. As
many of the seamen were foreigners
the costumes of all nations were dis
played on many ships. It was not un
til lsoo that there is a record of a crew
in white duck uniforms.
It Travel Swiftly.
The earth's motion has an apprecia
ble effect upon artillery fire, deflecting
the projectile from a straight course.
Firing from north to south, there is a
divergence of projectiles to the left,
due to the earth's rotation, and firing
due north, the divergence is to the
right. The extent of the "pull" varies
atdifferent ix.ints on the mrtli'iiuin
face and with projectiles fired atdif-
lereni, speeus ana elevations. In Eng--laml,
a deflection of five inches is found
to occur with the projectile of a twelve
pounder in a four-thousand-yaiM range.
Ward In a: off Cholera.
Persians have many rites which the
superstitious believe are efficacious in
averting-attacks of the cholera. One
of the most popular of these is that of
passing under the Koran. Two elders
stand opposite each other, holding be
tween them a scroll of the Koran
wrapped in a silken scarf. Under this
swinging- talisman the peasants pass
one by one and then go home, con
vinced that the cholera will not be able
to touch them.
