JDUE TO BOYS Oreat Arhlevementa la ieieaee aad Mechaalca Broeaht Ahoat hy Toatha. Captain Cody, the Inventor of the aero plane kite, who recently gave an exhibition at the Crystal Palace of his new man lift ing air machine, was considerably aston ished when, on the morning of the trial, a couple of models of his Invention came fluttering gajly over the grounds from out llde. , Subsequent Investigation, aaya Pearson's Weekly, proved that the tiny duplicates had been built to acale by a couple of pre cocious Penge youth, who had made mental notea of the prlnclplea upon which Mr. Cody'a originate were constructed while on a visit to the palace some daya previ ously. The boys had apent the whole of their pocket money In materials, had1 occupied their aparo time In putting: the kites to gether and had utilised the spacloua coal yard attached to the Penge railway station for the conduct of their preliminary experi ments. Sir John Barown, who made the first rolled armor plate for modern battleships, was but a lad of sixteen when the sight of a en fringe worked by a spiral spring at a village fair suggested to him the conical pprlng buffer for railway trucks, out of which, after a long struggle, he ultimately made a fortune. Ell Whitney, the Inventor of the cotton gin, got the germ of hla great Idea from seeing, through the Interstices of a hut, an old negro work a handsaw among the freshly picked cotton stored within. The teeth of the saw tore the lint from the seeds easily and quickly, and young Whitney (he was barely 13 at the time), realized at once that a machine working a number of similar sawa simultaneously would revolutionize the cotton growing in dustry. He said nothing to anybody, but set to work building models and experimenting. Ilia difficulties were enormous, for he not only had to make his own wheels, cogs, etc., but he had also first to forge his own tools, and even to manufacture the paint wherewith to color hla many plans and drawings. But he succeeded In the end, and though the outbreak of war and other hindrances prevented the Invention from being actually placed upon the market until many years afterward, the first complete cotton gin ever constructed was built from those very models and plans, and with scarcely a single alteration. At Attcrcllffe, near Sheffield, In 1760, there lived a watchmaker named Huntsman, whose temper had often been tried by the defective quality of the watch springs then in use. He sometimes wondered If It were not possible to make these articles of like na ture, and at last came to the conclusion that If he could only melt a piece of steel and cast It Into an Ingot Its composition would be the same throughout. He experimented, and at last succeeded. The supply created the demand. And ere long Huntsman was turning out cast steel Ingots by the hundreds of tons, and reaping a fortune. The workmen in the mills were paid very high wages, and were sworn to secrecy. Nor did they betray their trust--at least not wittingly. But one bitter night they gave shelter to a wan, half-froicn lad, dressed In tattered corduroys. Ho asked no questions. Indeed, he seemed dozing most of the time In the warm glow of the furnaces. Nevertheless, when he went he took the secret of steel casting with him, and within half a dozen weeks there were as many mill owners in Sheffield working the new process. , ' Samuel Crompton, a boy of 16, copied the best features of the spinning machine In vented by Hargreaves and Arkwrlght, added to them some of his own and, after thirty months of anxious and secret experi menting, produced the first spinning mule so-oalled because It was a kind of hybrid between Hargreaves" Jenny and Arji wrlght's waterframe. , The raw apprentice lad was, however, no match In cunning for the cotton lords, who soon found out the secret of his new ma chine and shamelessly robbed him of the fruits of his ingenuity. Many years afterward, It is true, they used their Influence to secure for him a Parliament grant of 5,000, but he was then a broken-hearted and disappointed man, to whom the money came too late to be of any real service. The late Sir Isaac Holden's Inventions In connection with the wool combing industry have almost obscured from the public's re membrance the fact that he was also the originator of the luclfer match. This happened while filling the position of lecturer on chemistry at the Castle Street academy, Reading. He used to rise at 4 In the morning in order to pursue his studies and found the old fashioned flat and steel extremely Inconvenient. 80, one day, he made a paste of phosphorus and other sub stances, stuck it on the end of a sliver of wood and found it would Ignite on being rubbed against any rough substance. Holden himself did not realize the Im portance of hie discovery. Not so, however, a pupil of his to whom he showed It. This youngster, who chanced to be the son of a London manufacturing chemist, at once wrote to his father about it; and shortly after luclfer matches were Issued to tha world. Lord Armstrong as a boy was Intended for the law. but as It happened there was a water wheel of curious construction near the office where he worked, and the man who owned It- explained Its mechanism to the Inquisitive lad. He also explained to him an Idea he had for utilizing the power of falling water In order to lift great weights. A few brief words aet young Armatrong thinking. A little later he started experi menting. And Jhe result of It all was that there was perfected. In due course of time, the enormously powerful hydraulio crane, which has rendered possible the ambitious enterprises of the modern builder. Last, and most wonderful of all, comes the case of the little Italian lad Qugllelmo Marconi, who. through seeing a conjurer perform certain tricks by means of elec trical agency, was enabled not so very long afterward to astonish the world with wire less telegraphy. His first experiments were carried on In a field on his father's farm, and his appar atus consisted merely of tin biscuit boxes set up on poles of varying helghta. one of which waa connected with a crude trans mitter and tha other with an equally crude receiver, both of hla own manufacture. Thla waa In 188. when he waa In hla 14th year: and he waa barely 21, a ahy, modeat, beardless atrpllng, when he was In London explaining to the greateat scientists of the age the greateat discovery of the century New York Sun.

ILUUOt GRAIN AND PRODUCE MARKET Week Closes with Bullish Tendency in Wheat and Corn. COMMISSION DISAGREES ON OREGON WHEAT 4 Present Rate of ronaamption and of Export and t'ron Shortages Else where Exported to Bring Fancy Corn Prlcca. OMAHA, March 25. 1905. The week closed with an upward tendency In wheat and corn. The May wheat ranged between 81.124 and 81.14, whereas Friday It went from tl 12i to 81.11V Liver pool closed with an advance of from VqV4c A tip went Around Friday that May wheat waa to be put to $1.30 or above before the end of May. Gates was in Chicago Friday and conferred with the leading specu lators. The 18.OW.urtO bushels the eastern ers are supposed to hold is said to be more than the hears can deliver. The long In terest, however, it la believed, cannot dump Its holdings without causing a serious break, and a market for the" entire line will have to be created. The Illinois rail road and warehouse commissioners met Friday, but were unable to agree on any ruling for Oregon red wheat. Broomhall estimates the world's shipments of wheat at 10.000,000 bushels. The Australian ship ments are 9S4.0O0 bushels, against 640.0'W) bushels the preceding week and 672.000 bushels last year. The primary receipts are S6I.001) bushels, against 315.0O0 bushels, and the shipments are 231,000 bushels agnlnst 254,000 bushels. The May corn ranged between 49c and 484c Friday. Liverpool did not advance. The break In corn of 2o resulted In shaking out the outside speculators and leaving the market In the hands of the strong pro fessional, who can support the market when an advance Is due. The prln-ry receipts are ffTR.noo bushels, against 3n!.no0 bushels, and the shipments are 522.000 bushels, against 219.(00 bushels. The corn clear ances are 2&9.403 bushels. William H. Bart lett says: "Accepting the government estimate on the corn crop and farmers' reserves of corn to be correct, we consumed 106,000,000 bushels more of corn the first four months of the crop year than we did during the corresponding period of the previous year. If this Is so It is safe to conclude that we will consume at least ino,0nO,00O bushels more during the remaining eight months than we did during the same months last year. On this hauls the farm reserves this year will go no further In filling our re quirements than they did last year, with out making any provision for the shortage of 30,000,000 rr 40,000,000 bushels In the cribs and the increased export demand, neces sitated by a shortage of 50,OfK),00O bushels In the Argentina and 25,000,no0 bushels In the Black sea shipments. So thnt, even on the govornment figures, which every one knows to be excessive, we have every rea son to look for a higher range of prices than last year, and on a fair estimate of tho crop, say 2.300.00O.00O bushels, we are very liable to see some very fancy prices before a new is gathered, and it must be remembered the next crop is not planted and has to run the gauntlet of all the vicissitudes that always threaten the crop."

CHICAGO, March 25. Rumors of a re vival of the bull campaign in May wheat had a strengthening effect on the wheat market In general here today. At the close May wheat was up c and July up c. May corn showed a gain of 44ifcc. Oats are off 4'4c. Provisions are almost un changed. . As a result of higher prices at Liverpool the wheat market here had a firm tone at the opening. May was unchanged to 4c higher at $1.124U'112. July was up a shade to Vi&c at 904i'c. The excellent outlook for the new crop, however. Induced some selling of July and In consequence that option declined to 904c. Many oper ators were considerably disturbed by ru mors that the May deal was not yet finished and that it was the Intention of a Wall street coterie to force the price of that option to a much higher level. The fact that one of the recognized leaders of these eastern speculators was In Chicago yesterday gave some emphasis to such gossip. In. addition to the revived interest in the May option, advices from Minne apolis claimed that there was a good de mand from elevators and millers for all frradea of caah wheat. The effect of excel ent weather conditions was completely offset, the market becoming quite bullish. May waa in gooa demand., but offerings were extremely light. From $1.13 the price of that option advanced to $1.14 without a single trade. At $1.14 commission houses aold moderately and the price reacted some what. A belief that July had been largely oversold caused fair buying of that option late In the day. The market closed strong with May at $1.13. Final quotations on July were at 90904c. Clearances of wheat and flour were equal to 71,700 bu. Primary receipts were 351,200 bu., compared with 816.000 a year ago. Minneapolis, Du luth and Chicago reported receipts of 223 cars, againat 276 lust week and ZM a year ao. Influenced by the strength of wheat, the corn market exhibited considerable firm ness. Shorts were good buyers a rut offer ings were light. Higher prices at Liverpool had some effect on the market here. May opened unchanged to a shade lower at 48o to 4h34c, sold between 48i'484c and 49o and closed at the highest point. Local receipts were 425 cars, with 25 of contract grade. A liberal movement and a near approach Of tha feeding aeason caused selling of oata by cash houses. The result was a weak market. May opened unchanged to o lower at 9rt?i30ic, sold off to 8040 and closed at 304j30c. Local receipts were 243 cars. Provisions were firm early In the day as a result of smaller receipts of hogs. Later an easier tone developed on moderate liquidation of pork. At the close May pork waa off 24ff5e at $12.774'6fl2.80. Lard was up 24o at 17.15S7.174- Ribs were up 24fj5c at J6.874.

For the wet-k receipts have been light, there being a decrease aa compared with last week amounting to l,6uw U1 and as compared with the correpo-.Aing week ' last year there was a fel.ing oft or about 11.800 head The demand has not been what would be called heavy, but still the prlcea paid have been quite satisfactory. The early rart of the week there was quite a sharp advance, and the moat of that gain has been maintained, so that closing prlcea are fully iodine higher than they were a week ago, and In some rases tha advance amounts to even more than that. The quality of the offerings most of the week has only been fair. That haa been especially true with lamba, the $7.40 lamba today being the first that could be called choice, and they could have been better. That being the case, the advance this week of loin 5c Is considered a good Indi cation. The lamba that were not fat enough for killers met with rendy sale this week to feeder buvers at good, strong prices where the quality waa aatinfactory.
