INVENTIONS. 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

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."

Features of the Trading; and Closing;
Pricca on Board of Trade.
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.

CATTLE-About the usual Saturday con

which means that there was not enough
on sale to make a test of the market. For
i 1 ue,"k. re('!:rt! have been about 1.500
head heavier than they were last week but
aa compared with the same week of last
year there Is a decrease of about 6,000 head
The market on beef steers has been
rather Irregular this week, fluctuated up
fh-J?1 a rapld rate- At ,h ,0 of
the week, however, prices are In just about
the same notches thev were a week ato
Some salesmen are calling the commoner
kinds a trifle lower for the week, but in the
maiorlty of cases the change Is too small
to be worthy of attention. . Good to choice

SHEEP There were four cara of Colo
rado lamba on the market thla morning and
they aold at what looked to be good, ateady
prices, bringing $7.26 and $7 40.
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. Common
kinds lacking In fleeh were, of course, bard
to move, as teeder buyers all wanted good
stuff.
