Thomas A. Edison, tho famous oloctri
ciau and iuvontor, ia preparing to as
tonish the world, by tho oxhlbit he will
make at the World's Fair in 1803. "I
shall havo two or thrco things to show,'
said ho rocontly, "which I think wil
both surpriso nnd please tho visitors to
tho oloctricnl dopartmont at the Ex

orizod. Tho third, however, is

nearly perfected, that I do not hesltnto
to say something about it.
I hope to bo ablo by the Invention to
throw upon a canvns a perfect picture
of anybody, and reproduco Ills words.
anus, suould I'atti be singing some
where, this invention will put her full
length picture upon tho canvas so per
fectly as to enable one to distinguish
every feature and oxprossion of hor
face, kco nil Iter actions and listen to
tho entrancing melody of hor peerless
voico. Tho invention will do for tho
eye what tho phonograph lias douo for
tho voice, and reproduce tho voice as
well, in fact more clearly. I havo al
ready perfected tho invention so far ns
to bo able to picturo a prlzo lightthe
two men, tho ring, tho intensely inter
ested faces of those surrounding it
and you can hear tho sound of the
blows, tho cheers of encouragement
and tho yells of disappointment. And
when this invention shall havo been
perfected," said Mr. Edison with tho
traco of enthusiasm's glow in his faco,
a man will bo ablo to sit In his library
at home, and, having electrical con
nection with tho thoatro,soo reproduced
on his wall or a piece of canvas tho
actors, and hear anything they say.
can placo ono so it will command a
street corner, and after lotting it regis
ter tho passing sights for a time, I can
havo it cast them on a canvas so that
evory f eaturo and motion of tho passers,
oven tho twitching of tho face, can bo
seen, and if a friend passed during tho
tune, you may know it. This invention
will bo called tho "Kinotograph." The
first half of tho word signifies 'motion,'
and tho last 'write,' and both together
moan tho portrayal of motion. Tho
invention combines photography and
phonography."
Mr. Edison occupied nearly an acre
with his oxhibit at tho Taris Exposi
tion. As ho wishes to show at Chicago
all that he exhibited at Tarls, and
numorous othor things besidos, he is
dosirous of being accorded a greater
spaco in 1803. Tho oloctrical oxhibit is
expected to bo tho wonder of tho Ex
position, A N15W LIEN LAW.
Tho now Hen law signod by Governor
Pattison provides as follows:
"That no contract which shall here
after bomado for tho erection of tho
wholo or of any part, of a new building,
with tho owner of tho lot on which tho
samo shall be orectod, shall operato to
interforo with or defeat tho right of a

furnish materials under agreement
with tho original contractor in aid of
such ejection, to filo mechanics lion of
tho amount which shall bo due for the
value of such work or matorials furn

of tho sub-contractor all contracts be.
tweon tho original contractor and the
ownor which shall oxprossly or im
pliedly stipulate that no such liens
shall bo filed shall bo invalid as against
the right of such sub-contractor to filo
tho samo.
"All por&ous contracting with tho
owner of grounds for tho erection and

of a now buildintr thereon shall bo

dering the work and materials in ond
about such erection or construction,
nnd any s.ub-oontractor doing such
work or furnishing such materials

to wed, and being short of funds, called
on John Wonamakor for $300. A New
York woman entered a pattern store
and inqulrod if they kopt shrouds for
middle-aged widows. Sho said sho had
made herself a shroud eight years bo-
tore, but had not dtod, nnd that in tho
interim hor hair had grown crav. und
hor complexion has so changed that
tho homo-mado shroud was no longer a

narrower to suit mo now?" said sho.
"A good uamo is rather to bo chosen
than great richos." So tho Bible says,
remarks tlio New York Observer, und
tho lato Thomas Charles Baring, of
Loudon, evidently thought so. It is
recalled to his honor that although ho
had previously rotircd from tho croat
banking firm with which his family had
neon idontiiled, yet when tho ombarrnss
ments of last winter ovortook tho
house ho placed his wholo largo fortuno

l llleen .Nails in Jlcr Foot
Miss Addio Handwork, ogod 15, tlio
daughter of Horace Handwork, a well
known farmer of Chester county, had
litteen nails taken from tho heel of her
left foot ono day recently. Soveral
were over half an Inoh long, and how
they got in hor foot is a mystery that
neithor sho nor her parents can solve.
The first ovidonco sho had of a foreign
substanoe being there was a few days
beioro when she raado a missten. A
litUered mark was noticed on her
heel and she had intense pain. Her
mother put a poultice on the soro part,
and in u short time the uall was no
ticed working its wuy out. With a
pair of tweezers it was romovod. Dr.
Christ man was called in and as other
nails of a smaller size appeared they
were removed, until the number was
fifteeu, most of them very small. The
young lady is now able to walk, nnd
only evldouco of the nails having been
in her foot tire little marks where they
were taken out.

Among tho most Intorostlng investi
gations now being conducted by our
Government is that into tlio prosouce
of water undorncath tho Wostorn
plains. It is a uniquo field of inquiry,
and its results from both n scientific
nnd practical standpoint nro likely to
ho of considornblo importance. It was
prompted by tho query whothor it woro
not poesiblo to reclaim largo sections
of arid lands by means of water from
artosiau wolls, uud, while other inter
esting facts havo been developed, that
is tho most emphasized in tho lengthy
Govornuiont report now ready for dis
tributlon. Tho volume contains 400
pages, and lias roturus from the Dako
tas, Nebraska, Kansas, Texas, Moxico,
Novada, Utah, Colorado and Wyoming.
In Dakota a largo baslu has boon found
to exist about 400 miles long by forty
or fifty miles in width along the James
River, and lias beon givon its namo.
Its eastern boundry is marked by the
watershed between tho Rod River of
tho North and tho James Rlvor, and it
extends tlionco about fifty milos or
moro west. It is pronounced the
largost and strongost artesian basin In
yet dlscovorod in this country. Tho
wator is found in a groat bed of whlto
sand, which is thrown out in great
quantities by tho wolls whero thoy aro
allowod to flow freely. In Kansas thoro
aro largo areas whero the wator doos
not rlso to tlio surfuce, though an
an abundant supply is obtainable by

A NOT13 l'KOM Till: ultAVJl,
A Now York chemist is now at work
rehabilitating a noto which has been
buried in a Connecticut ceinotary for
seventeon years. In 1873 a Now Havon
woman died, holding a noto for 8225.00
against a well-known man. Tho man
assorted that tho noto was paid and
tho relatives wero uuablo to find tlio
document. Recently tho dead woman's
son romombored that when a little boy
ho had observed a pieco of paper sowed
up insido of his mothor's dress. That
was shortly before the woman's death.
As tho incidont recurred to him ho bo
camo impressed with tho idea that tho
paper was tho missing noto. Ho has
had tho gravo openod and his supposi
tion has proved correct. Tho writing
on tho noto was hardly legible, nnd tho
chemist is now restoring it in good
condition. Tho names of tlio peoplo
aro now withheld, but tho facts aro
authontic.
IN OASIS OF li'IltE.
Fire requires air; therefore ou its ap
pearance, every effort should be niado
to exclude air. Shut all doors nnd
windows. By this means fire may bo
confined to a single room for n suf
ficient period to euablo all tho inmates
to bo arousod and escape; but if tho
doors and windows aro thrown open
tho fanning of tho wind and draught
will instantly causo tho flames to in
crease with extraordinary rapidity. It
must not bo forgotten that tho most
precious moments are at commence
ment of a flro, and not n singlo second
of time should bo lost in tackling it.
In a room, a tablo-cloth can bo so used
as to smother a largo sheet of flame,
and a cushion may servo to beat it out;
coat or anything similar may be used
with nn equally successful result. Tlio
great point is presonco of mind calm
ness in danger action guided by rea
son and thought. In all largo hous.es,
buckets of wator should be placed on
ovory lauding, a llttlo salt being put In
tho water. Always endeavor to attack
tho bed of a flro; if you cannot ex
tinguish a Are, -shut tho window and
bo sure to shut tho door when making
good your retreat, A wot silk handkor-
chiof tied ovor tho oyos und nose will
make breathing possiblo iu tho midst

HUSTLwa roit news.
A groat many peoplo think a news
paper should have nbout u page of
local uows whether anything happens
not. Deluded mortals! Local
editors cannot make poople break thoir
eoks, commit suicide or do any of the
other exciting things that go to make
up tlio material out of which tho local
reportod delights to weave paragraphs.
Furnishing domestio news when there
none is very much like extracting
blood from a turnip. It is no moro
than fair that those who grumble at
the lek of looal news iu their paper
should slop and think whether they
could not givo the editor nn Item or
two worth printing, and, if so, let them
hold their peaoe or growl at their own
remissness.
Itlcctrlo Shadow.
If you ever observe It, the olectrio
light is responsible for many grotes
querles nightly painted ou respectable
walls and matter-of-fact stdowalks.
Shadows are only shadows, but they
give one the shivers sometimes, espec
ially at a late hour, when honest folks
are supposed to lie iu lied. Giants of
despair then stretch out long amis at
the corners of silent streets, and
strange profiles are thrown against the
unoonselous houses, and weird traceri
es of dancing brauohes make the lave
ment rise and fall In a stylo that must
puzzle a person who knows he is sober.

Australia to-day Is so far advanced
in civilization as any country in tho
world. The roads aro better than any
on this continent; tho daily and week
ly papers and tho development of
literature and art aro far in advance of
the age of tho colonies or tho popula
tion. Tho now commonwealth has all
Europe and America as a field in which
to seek tho Improvements of the time
and the moans to secure thom. Its
present wealth is almost beyond be
lief, nnd its rosourcos almost incalcul
able. It producos moro than one-
fourth of tho wool of tho world twico
as much as tho United Statos. It pro
duces ono-half of tlio tin of the world,
and thoro is no procious metal that has
not boon found within its domain. Its
coal fields on tho coast, convenient for
export to nil countries, aro inexhausti
ble. The inward and outward shipping
of ono port nlono exceeds 2,500,000 tons
per annum, and tho value of its com
morco with Great Britain alone ex-
ceeds 100,000,000 storling.

In tho Australian Federation con

conspicuous figure. Fifty years ago
ho omigratod from Warwickshire, Eng

Ho triod farming iu Australia and
failed at it. Ho triod other things and
failed at thom. One day at Sydney he
found himself actually starving. As
ho walked along tlio street lu despair
ho saw somolhing shiuo. It proved to
bo a sixpence. This was tho turning
point of his fortunes. With tho coin
ho bought somo bread and cheese, and
then, refreshed, sot out once moro in

station, though still poor in money.
Many other delegates can tell similar
storios, says the Illustrated American,
Few owe their rise to any other cause
than uativo strength of character.
John Forrest, the foremost representa
tive of Western Australia, won fame as
an oxploror beforo ho developed as a
statesman. Twico ho crossed Australia
by routes through wild and desplato
regions that no othor white man had
ovor succeeded in traveling. Sir Geo.
Groy wus Governor at tho Cape of
Good Hopo iu diiilcult times, was
twico Governor of Now Zealand, and
oach timo conducted a successful war
against the Maoris, and wooed hard
ships and adventure lu the rudest
forms as an oxploror in Western Aus
tralia. Tho number of young men
among the delegates was a characteris
tic of the convention. With men of
sucli mould as the makers of Australia
her future should be great.

Supposing their profits on a single sale
