EDISON HINTS AT NEW FORCE.
Successor to Electricity Probable , the
Inventor Says.
East Orange , N. .T. , June 1. Thomas
A. Edison , the electrical wizard , has
suggested the possibilities of the dis
covery and development of a new pow
er , "another method of agitating the
atoms or molecules besides the thing
we call electricity , " as he said. Hut
in the meantime , ho declared that
the scope of electricity as a motive
power is gradually widening and being
better realized.
What the new power may bo the
great inventor did not undertake to
say. Its discovery , as ho suggested ,
will likely be by accident , probably
through one of the live human senses ,
as radium and the X-ray were found
through the sense of light.
While Edison discussed a new force
other than electricity merely as a pos
sibility , ho discusses it In a most in
teresting manner.
"I took dinner on one occasion with
an eminent professor of the University
of Berlin , " ho said , "and I moved my
forefinger at him and asked him what
made it move. He couldn't tell. There
Is ono form of motion that wo do not
comprehend. So It Is there may bo
discovered a new power which wo can
convert Into use , but I cannot say
what it will be. "

WORLD TOUR IN AUTO
Remarkable Journey to Be Taken
by American Woman.
PURELY A PLEASURE TRIP.
Mr * . Harriet Clark Fisher of Trenton ,
N , J. , Will Carry Complete Camping
Outfit , Including Rlflei and Revolv
er * , In Her Motorcar Novel Plan
For Receiving Freih Supplies.
Mrs. Harriet Clark Fisher , widow of
Captain Clark Fisher , U. S. N. , IHIH
innounccd her Intention of taking a
rip around the world in an automo-
jtle. In the near future she will ship
IIT large touring car to either South
ampton or Liverpool to start on her
: lobe girdling Journey. The route will
le though England , Ireland , Scotland ,
France. Germany. Italy , Egypt , India
uml Japan. From Japan Mrs. Fisher
will go by steamer to San Francisco
mil upon arrival In the United Stairs
will travel In her motorcar across the
continent , ending the round the world
tour at her home In Trenton , N. J.
This Is a remarkable undertaking for
i woman , but Mrs. Fisher does not
fear to attempt the trip.
Mrs. Fisher says the trip will be
purely a pleasure tour , " .In spite of
the natural obstacles that must be
overcome. She believes the trip to be
feasible and will uiake careful notes
regarding the road conditions and
route , so Unit other women who de
sire to make the same journey may
profit by her experience.
The only extra equipment on h"r
car will be u thirty-two gallon gaso-
Ine and oil tank. This tank will have
lulllelent capacity to supply fuel ni 1
lubricating for a100 mile Journey on
one tillingMrs. . Fisher's car Is a forty
Horsepower four passenger stock road
ster automobile. The regular mechan
ism of the car , such as the motor and
transmission , has not been re-enforced
or specially built In any manner. The
wheels are of maximum diameter , seas
as to give the greatest amount of
clearance.
A series of luggage racks has been
[ Utached to the tonneau to carry the
i-amplng out lit that will be necessary
There will be n tent , cooking utensils.
11 stove , rilles , revolvers and ammuni
tion Mrs. Fisher Is an expert shot
with the rllle , and she Intends to do
ome his game hunting If the opportu
nity presents itself.
There will be four persons In the
party Mrs. Fisher. Harold Fisher
Brooks , a relative , who acts as Mrs
Fisher's secretary ; u maid and a man-
servant. The manservant , Albert , w
jro In the capacity of mechanician and
chef. He will also take his turn at
driving the car. alternating with Mr.
Brooks. Mrs. Fisher will ride In the
tonneau with her maid during most of
the journey
Mrs Fisher has made a novel ar
rangement with one of the large ex
press companies which will enable her
to receive fresh supplies of clothing ,
etc. . during the Journey. The company
has contracted to transport a maid
and baggage from point to point by
boat or railroad anywhere on the globe
so as to meet the motoring party at
scheduled dates.
The tlrst part of the trip will bo
pleasant and easy enough. It will be
over the splendid roads of England ,
Ireland and Scotland. The tour
through France will also be delightful.
After touring France the party will
drop down Into Italy , staying for a
time nt the Villa Carlotta , Mrs. Fish-
tr's beautiful home In the mountain
ous country near Urlon. The estate
borders Lake Como and was formerly
the property of SIgnor Rossa. It cov
ers several acres. The villa was built
In the lifteenth century , but It is nev
ertheless modern. It has thirty-seven
rooms.
Upon leaving Italy the party will go
to the orient. Here the first of the
real traveling difficulties will be en
countered , Judging from the accounts
nupplled by the drivers In the famous
New York to Paris automobile race of
last year , Egypt , once the epitome of
the world's learning ; India , the land of
mystery ; the Russlas , with their tradi
tionally despotic laws all of these
places are to be visited by the motor
ing party.
It Is Mrs. Fisher's plan to reach
Japan In time for the cherry season.
The. motoring party Is likely to en
counter trouble In those Islands in
taking the heavy motorcar across the
bamboo bridges of ancient construc
tion that were built only to hold the
light jlnrlkishas.
When San Francisco Is reached the
automobile party will spend some time
motoring through California , the roads
of that state being splendid. Then the
eastward trip across the continent will
begin. The Hoeky mountains and the
slopes of the golden west will give
Mrs. Fisher and her party trouble.
Mrs. Fisher Insists she will make her
car go under Its own power from
start to finish.
Mrs. Fisher has been preparing for
some time for the round the world
tour. As a preliminary she Is touring
In the United States now , making the
Journey from New York to Baltimore ,
Washington. Plttsburg , Youngstown ,
Cleveland. Toledo and several western
cities. When she finishes the trip at
New York the car will be crated and
shipped abroad. New York Times.

The paving of Norfolk avenue will
probably begin about August 1. Bids
rnust be advertised for during u pe
riod of three weeks and It Is said to
bo customary for paving contractors
to require about a month to get ma
terial on the ground.
Allowing three weeks from next
Monday the council meeting night
for the bid advertising , and then a
month for getting material on the
ground , brings the beginning of the
puvlng to about August 1. It will prob
ably not require many weeks to finish

to be all finished up considerably be
fore October 1.

SUIT OVER BURNED AUTO.

the Responsibility.
Sioux Falls , S. D. , June 2. The
courts will be called upon to determine
the responsibility for the destruction
by lire of a $3,000 Wlnton automobile

The auto was the property of ex-May
or James W. Sanford of Chamberlain ,
who came here with the machine sev
eral days ago to have It repaired. It
had been placed In good condition , and
Mr. Sanford states that he left posi
tive Instructions at the garage where
It was stored that it was not to betaken
taken out unless ho was present to go
with It. The machine , however , was
taken out without his being notified
and ho knew nothing of this until In
formed that the machine had caught
fire and been totally destroyed. The

sentative. Prolonged litigation in the
