Never suffer your energies to stag

you cannot have too many poker ,

Edison Amazed by Electrical Display
NEW YORK. The $1,000,000 elec
trical display on the Hudson river
In connection with the Hudson-Fulton
fete brought forth sorao Interesting
comments from Thomas A. Edison ,
who stands ut the head of Uio list
among American "electrical wizards. "
"It was wonderful ! It was wonder
ful ! " ho exclaimed. "It far surpassed
my expectations.
Mr. Edison was reminded by his
caller that but for his discoveries and
development In electricity the display
would have been impossible.
"You have put the case too strong
ly , " ho responded , "and this is no ex
pression of modesty on my part ,
either. If I hadn't done what I have
done , somebody else would have done
It.
It."I
"I judged that the first night's dis
play oh the Hudson took about 100,000
horse power of electricity. When you
reflect that we now are able to utilize
only about three per cent , of the effi
ciency of electricity after wo have It
harnessed , and that 97 per cent , ut
terly goes to waste , you will get some
Idea of how far a little of the mysteri
ous fluid , or fire , or whatever It may
be called goes. "
"Then do you not yet know , Mr. Edi
son , what electricity Is ? "
The wizard's face assumed n tense
expression.
"If only I or anybody else know
what It was wo might do something
really worth while , " ho said. "Wo
know some of the things of Us mani
festation. But the best Informed of
us really know very little of Its power ,
of Us mystery , of Us awe. However ,
It will not bo long now until somebody
discovers the means by which to con
serve the huge mass of It that at pres
ent goes to waste.
"There.aro thirty or forty thousand
easnest men all over the world workIng -
Ing diligently on this and the myriad
other problems that nro balking the
development of the science. I would
not bo surprised any day to learn that
one of this great host of workers had
solved the riddle of waste.
"When It comes It will appear a
simple little thing. Maybe in bulk It
will work wonders. It will reduce the
cost so materially that our cities will
bo moro brilliantly lighted every
where , nnd the cost to private con
sumers will bo more than cut In two.
I hope that may come about soon. Wo
must dovlso some means of conserva
tion of the tremendous , almost Incal
culable energy that dally goes to
waste through our present Ignorance
and the Inefficiency of our machin
ery. "
City Teeters on Ledge of Tilting Rock
curious facts about the rocky
SOME
ledge , on the shelving slope ot
which lower New York , with Its mil
lions of tons of skyscrapers , teeters ,
have been revealed by the engineers
who have been boring hundreds of
feet below the surface in connection
with the plunger elevators In the big
office buildings. The center shafts in
these elevators go as deep Into the
ground as the shaft itself is high. The
plunger shaft in a building 400 feet
high , for Instance , must have a hole
dug for it 400 feet deep , into which it
can sink every time the elevator goes
down into the basement.
At Rector and Church streets , under
the United States Express Company
building , the rock ledge Is .10 feet be
low the surface. Just a few hundred
feet to the northward this rocky ledge
Is GO feet down under the ground.
Under the old Times building , at Park
row and Spruce street , the ledge Js
100 feet below the surface. It lies at
the greatest depth yet found 150 feet
under the southeast corner of the
Tribune building , at Nassau and
Spruce streets. Under the Waldorf-
Astoria hotel the ledge comes to the
surface.
The rocky ledge Is hardest over on
the east side of the city , and gets
more chalky and crumbly toward the
Hudson river. The rock also grows
softer , In all the borings , as the depth
increases. In one or two cases the
bores have reached cavities in the
ledge at a depth of 200 feet , which
were from 12 to 15 feet deep. They
are supposed to be old rain holes , be
fore the glacial epoch.
The deepest holes made have been
under the Carroll building , on West
street. Under the Trinity and Boreel
buildings 29 'borings ' were made , aver
aging about 300 feet. From one' of
these the largest solid core of rock
ever excavated was recently taken
from a depth of nearly three hundred
feet. The core was 22 feet long and
16 inches In diameter , and weighed
2,750 pounds. The rock was a gray
freestone.
Family Evictors Organize an Odd Club
all proper respect for the
WITH
necessary and noble are of evictIng -
Ing the poor , It must bo said that the
members of the new Dispossess club
in their black hole of a cellar at 202
Madison street , Now York City , sug
gested a lot of rats awaiting the mer
ry marshal's signal to spring on the
next family.
But that unpleasant Impression was
duo to the fact that the CO professional
evlctors had just organized to raise
the scale of prices for throwing a
family's furniture out on the sidewalk
and had not had time to fix up their
new quarters.
They got only as far as deciding
that hereafter the price for evicting a
family from a cellar or a first floor
flat shall be GO cents for each room ,
and for every Job above the street
floor one dollar for each room.
Fred Kelly , who has been evicting
for twenty years or more , was elected
president , and Jim Brown was made
secretary. Next the sign "Dispossess
Club" was hung above the cellar door ,
and the members swarmed gleefully
back down the steps into the hole to
await the first job at the new scalf
of prices.
Penoclo decks wore produced nnd
then the new organization
was fairly
under way. The room will get chairs
and tables wherever
the mdmbers run
across bargains In sidewalk collec
tions of furniture. Meantime a pile
of fresh straw on the collar floor
makes furnishing that is luxurious
enough for the latest
aclditi i to Ne\v
York's long list of clubs.
Batonyi to Score Enemies in His
sensations that have thus far
THE
marked the romance of Mrs.
Fanny Work-Durke-Roche-Batonyl , the
daughter of Frank Work , the vener
able llnancler , and Aurel Batonyi , the
well-known horse fancier of Now York
city and Newport , and former proprie
tor of the rend coach "Good Times , "
are by no means at an end.
Two important chapters are to be
added to the many that have piled up
in the last three years. Ono of the
chapters is to be made up of the reop-
Cf.1ng of the suit for divorce by Mrs.
B.irke-Hoche-I3atonyl against her hus
band , and the other is to mark the de
but of Mr. Batonyi in the realm of lit
erature.
Although little Is known about Mr.
Batonyl's novel aside from its name ,
its dedication and Its motto , tolling In
a vague way what the aim of the au
thor was in writing the book , it will
bo highly Interesting , Inasmuch as its
characters and Incidents , It is assert
ed , are drawn from real life and will
concern many persons whoso names
have been mentioned in the romantic
career of Mrs. Aurel Batonyi , oven .13
far back as her
marriage
m
ny years
ago with a brother of the Baron For-
moy.
moy.The
The title of the novel will bo "St
Urgls. "
It Is to bo dedicated "to Mr and
Mrs. H. E. Witt. "
Some idea as to the intention of the
author may be grasped by the trans
parency of the disguise In the name
and dedication of the book.
"St. Urgls , " with the elimination of
period and capital "U , " spells "Stur-
gls , " and the same process of elimina
tion and change from upper to lower
case letters In the names of "Mr and
Mrs. II. E. Witt" reveals "Mr. nnd
Mrs. Hewitt. "
The christening and dedicating of
the book has been done , apparently ,
with sarcastic intent by the author ,
as the circumstances
recall that one
of the numerous suits
composing the
complicated mixture of legal affairs
Involving Mr. and Mrs. Bntonyi was
one by him against Frank K. Stursls
'and Mr. and Mrs. Peter Cooper Hewitt
the latter being Mrs. Batonyl's sister'
for alienating the affections of ala
wife. In his suit Frank Work was
also named , and the aggrieved hu
band claimed $1GOO,000 damages.

Many people think the perfection of corn flavor has boon reached in Toasted Corn
Flakes. Perhaps it has. If you don't know how good Kcllogg's the genuine
Toasted Corn Flakes is , try it. Then you'll sco how hard a task wo are giving
ourselves to Improve it , and the only way wo can improve it is by the better
ment ot the corn itself. ,
Professor Holden , of the Iowa State Collofto , the greatest authority on corn in the
world , wilt award the prize at the National Corn Exposition , to bo held nt Omaha ,
Neb. , Dec. Gth to 18th , 190 ! ) . Two simple rules will govern the plan , nnd they nro
that you send your best car of corn to the National Corn Exposition , Omaha , Neb. ,
before November 27,1000 , nnd that you are a member of the National Corn Asso
ciation full particulars regarding which can bo had by writing to National Cora

TOTAL LOSS OF HAIR.

'
i
"About two years ago I was troubled
with my head being scaly. Shortly
after that I had an attack of typhoid
fever and I was out of the hospital
possibly two months when I first no
ticed the loss of hair , my scalp being
still scaly. I started to nso dandruff
cures to no effect whatever. I had
actually lost hope of saving any hair
at all. I could brush It off my coat
by the handful. I was afraid to comb
it. But after using two cakes of Cutl
cura Soap and nearly a box of Cutl
cura Ointment , the change was sur
prising. My scalp Is now clear and
healthy as could bo and my hair thick
er than over , whereas I had my mind
made up to bo bald. W. F. Steese , E812

Laundry work at homo would bo
much more satisfactory If the right
Starch were used. In order to get the
desired stiffness , it is usually neces
sary to use so much starch that the
beauty and fineness of the fabric is
hidden behind a paste of varying
thickness , which not only destroys the
appearance , but also affects the wear
ing quality of the goods. This trou
ble can bo entirely overcome by using
Defiance Starch , as It can bo applied
much jnoro thinly because of its great
er strength than other makes.

If you want to be somebody in this

then begin right away witli "I will do
