OFFICEES COULD BE SiHPLT STUNKED
2?nw York, Jan. 17. Two reporters have
interviewed Edison, Ibe great electrical
authority and inventor. Mr. Edison came
out of the workshop smiling cheerfully and
yet frowning at the same time, the sort of
thing that only a scientist can do whose
thinking mind keeps a frown all the time
on his forehead and whose jolly disposition
keeps lauefcter working out through his
eyes. The distinguished friend of the thun
derbolt and lord of the duplex wire had a
big spiash of oil on his forehead, just where
the heavy cray lock falls over in an inde
pendent, anarchistic sort of way. His
hands were black and dripping with oil,
rnd he held them waviys helplessly in the
air, just as a lady freh from the washtub
holds her purple, wrinkled fingers when she
stops for a moment to talk with a friend.
First, the reporters gratified Mr. Edisnn
hv informing him that he was an able man
and that it was a pretty fine thing for him to
have contrived to make two telegraph oper
ators talk to each other at set with no wire
between them. But Mr. Edison said that
it wasn't.
"It is just done by induction," quoth he.
"I have done it bfore on moving railway
trains through grasping by the tail the same
everlasting scientific truth which renders
possible the operation which you allude to.
On a moving train at the rate of 50 miles an
hour the operator sits calmly ticking away
in his car, on the outside of which there isa
little strip of zinc. From that strip the
message hops by induction to the wire and
cces to the car of the train dispatcher, or, if
necessary, to another operator in another
car, which is also moving at the rate of 51)
miles an hour."
He Could Kill Babbits With Loaded Wires.
As it was evident that Mr. Edison was de
termined not to be amazed by his perform
ance of telegraphing at sea, it was necessary
to endeatorto start nis enthusiasm by bring
ing tip something else.
"Mr. Edison, they offer a big reward for
the man who will kill oft" the plague of rab
bits in Australia. Couldn't vou kill off
those little pests by stringing loaded wires,
with nice wet carrots attached to them,
which, when the rabbit ate the carrot, would
shock she stuffing out or the rabbit?"
"Yes," taid Mr. Edison, "that could be
done easily. You wouldn't need carrots or
special wires. The thing could be managed
with the Imbed wire fences thev have down
there. At the same time it doesn't do to
judge too hastily the intelligence and scien
tific knowledge of a rabbit which knows
enough to grov an extra hooked toe on his
foot to help him over barbed wire. Did
you know that the Australian rabbits have
done that? They have. " "Wouldn't it
tickle Darwin to death if he could know
about it?"
Mr. Edison laughed so loud that he could
hear himself in spite of his deafness.
The prospects of killing all the rabbits in
Australia did not stir Mr. Edison to real
Edisonian enthusiasm, but the proposition
w hich followed did.
Some Destructive Toys for War Purposes.
"Mr. Edison, yon are so fnll of patriotism
that the French couldn't help but admiring
vou for it. We are threatened by those
little Chileans who say they are going to
thrash us. They are bigger than rabbits
and more worthy of your current What
will you do to defend this glorious country
if they attack us or if anybody else attack's
ns? "What plans have you on hand for keep
ing the rude turmoil of war from shattering
the delicate globes of your incandescent
lights all over this fair land?"
The fare of Mr. Edison grew as fiendish as
it ever does. That is to say, about as
fiendish as the inside of a nice ripe water
melon. 'That," said he, "I want to talk about
It is true 1 have invented an electrio tor
pedo, the Sipis electric torpedo, which wa
have sold out to the Armstrong Gun Com
panr. It is a very fine thing. It is nut on
a wire, as of course you understand, and
moved bv electricity. It can be runout
two miles ah? sd of the maD-of-war's bow
raid be kept at that disfancs ready to blow
up anythine in reach. It is a very pretty
and destructive to-. But -it is nof in that
kind of tbi-ig that I take pride. What I
want to see is some foreign nation coming
to this ronntry to attack tis on our own
ground. "
Mr. Edison's eyes danced with martial
ardor.
Electricity "Witt Plav a Tart In War.
"That is what I wait to see, and I think
that electricity will play such a part in war
when that time comes as shall make gun
. powdr and dynamite go Mt iu humble ob
scuritv with the obsolete flint arrow head
and call him broth-r. Every electrician,
when thit times come, will have his plant
for making the life of his enemy electrically
uncomfortable. Here is oneitem of de
fense ' hich I ha ve in mind.
"It is simple as A, B. C I have never
spoken or written ai.out it before. "With
.j men in a fort I cin make that fort absn
lutelv impregnable so far as an assault is
conerrned, and I should only need 25 men
in the fort to do it This is not guess work,
but a matter of absolutely scientific cer
tainty. In fact, 25 men would be a very
liberal garrison. Some years ago, when the
wires loaded with heavy electrio charges
began to go un everywhere, I predicted that
there would be danger of the firemen re
ceiving deadly shock by the electricity rnc
ninsr down the streams of water "which
might cross the wires. The insurance peo
ple laughed at the idea. But I tried it on a
cat and the cat and I found my theory to be
true. That is to sav 1 did. and the e.-t
found it ont if there ie nnnther ffni-ld fX..
cats. He never knew anything about it in
this world.
"In each fort I would put au aternating
machine of 20,000 volts capacity. One wire
weld be grouuded. A man would govern
a stream of water of about 400 pounds
pressure to the square inch, with which the
20,000 volts alternating current would be
connected. The man would simply move
this stream of water back and forth with his
hand, plaving on the enemy as they ad
vanced and mowing them down with abso
lute precision.
No Man "H ou!d Know "What Struck Hlin.
"Eery man touched by the water would

The picture raised by Mr. Edison is cer
tainly a most beautiful and attractive ore.
It is nice to think of all the fine descripthe
matter that could be written. Such a fort"
and such warfare as 3Ir. Edison has planned
would make old-fashioned generals and M.
Detaille ot battle-scene fame turn in their
graves. We should have infantry moving
on fortsat quickstep, dressed all in rubber,
aith chilled glass soles to their shoes and
non-conductor handles to their swords and
guns. Generals would look much funnier
than a picture lrom Ihmch charging at the
bead ot their anuirs. ridinir on horses shod
with rubber arctics, the generals themselves 1

carrying large rubber umbrellas with gutta
percha handles over their heads.
He Could Cover Twenty-Five Acre,
"in reply as to how his patents had paid
Mr. Edison said: "From my various patents,
so far as the patents themselves go, I have
stood an actual loss in experimenting and
in law suits of $600,000. 1 should be better off
if I had not taken out any patents. I do
not mean to say that I am a pauper, as you
might think from my talk. But my money
has not been made o'ut of patents, or out of
any protection that the Patent Office has
given mc I have made it all in manufac
turing and I have made tpiite enough to pay
for mv experiments and to get a good liv
ing, which is all that I care about"
"Mr. Edison, Chauncey Denew in his
speech at the World's Fair dinner com
mented on the fact that whereas in theEx
positiou in Philadelphia there were only a
lew overhead wires to tell the tale of elec
trical inventions, th Chicago Exposition
will contain a building of great size, de
voted exclusively to the progress of elec
tricity and filed with machines, nearly all
of them the work of one man. If you were to
trv, regardless of space, how big an exposi
tion of your own work do you think you
could cet up? How many machines have
you worked on in your life?"
"Well, it would be hard to say. I have
vorked on as many as 40 machines at one
time. An exhibition of all the machines
that I have worked at and experimented on.
if I had kept them, would cover about 25
acres."
There is no doubt that Mr. Edison is a
hard working worth while sort of an Ameri
can. A powerful remedy, Dr. Bull's Cough
Syrup. Sold by all dealers for only 25
cents.

Prevent the Grip
Dr. Cyrus Edson.of the New Tort Board
of Health, says that to prevent the Grip, you
should avoid exposure in Inclement weather
and keep your strength up, your blood in
good condition, and your digestive organs
in regular action. The tonic and alterative
effects of Hood's Sarsaparilla bo happily
meet the last three conditions, that with the
protection given by this medicine you need
not fear the Grip.
HOOD'S SARSAPARILLA
Is an inexpensive medicine and a single
bottle may save yon many dollars in doctors'
bills and much suffering.
A Fm "Grip"
"One year ago I was taken down sick with
the Grip,' and my whole system seemed
completely run down. I could not sleep or
eat. A friend of mine advised me to try
Hood's Sarsaparilla. So 1 did. I used four
bottles and in two months I was a well man.
I think so much of

That I keep it on band all the time." Ctnt

One of the inevitable incidents of
modern merchandizing is the annual
January Bargain Sale. It is expected
of US, therefore comes. This is one
reason; another is found in the fact
that stock on, the shelves has no
value. It must get out into the chan
nels of trade. An article that costs
us a dollar is not worth a dollar, to
say nothing of the profit margin,
until it gets into the hands of the
customer. If it will not go at that
price, then, if necessary, 50 cents
must move it. Half price and less
in many cases is the way we have
marked goods in all departments.
Odds and ends in various kinds of
