that, of couric, the charges for freight and passenger fares would be greatly reduced. It would enormously lessen the cost of manufacter. ing and of traffic. It would develop the electric current direct from coal, so that the cost of steam-engines and bollers would be eliminated I have thought of this problem very much, and I bave already my theory of the experiments, or some of them, which may be necessary to develop this direct use of all the power that is stared in coal. I can only say now that the coal would be put into receptacio, the agencies | then applied would develop i energy and save it all, and through this energy electric power of any degree desired could be furnished. Yes, it can be done; am sure of that. Some of the detalls I have already mastered, I thick; at least, I am sure that I know the way to go to work to master them. I believe that I shall make this my next campaign. It may be years before it is finished, and it may not be a very Jong time."

Mr. Edison looks further ahead than this campaign, for he said: "I think it quite likely that I may try to develop a plan for marine signalling. I Save the idea already pretty well known principle that water is a more perfect formulated in my mind. I should use the well. median for carrying vibrations than air, and should develop instruments which may be carried upon aca-going vessels, by which they can transmit or receive, through an international code of signals, reports withio a radius of, sxy, ten miles."

Mr. Edison believes that Chicago is to become the London of America estly in the next century, while New York will be in Liverpool, and be is

of opinion that very likely a ship cinal may connect Chicago with tide water, so that it wili Itself become a great seaport. He also expressed an option to the effect that the moon will, in course of time, become a skating pond.

HISTORY MADE BY POISON,

Six'e a Chinese emperors are reported to have died by polson.

Nearly forty Turkish sultans and Arablan callǝhs died by polson.

Hemlock prison was a Greck mode of execu- tion. Socrates died thus,

Nearly 200 Greek generals and statesmen are named who commisited suicide with polios.

Charles II of England is supposed by some historians to bave been poisoned by a jesluus mistress,

During the Middle Ages polsoning, especially In Italy, was retarded as an entirely justifiable means of getting rid of an enemy.

Messalla was an adept in removing her enemies, by secret poison She polsoned over too persons before she was herself put to death. The most noted female polsoners Cleopatra, Lucrets Horgia and Mme. Briavilllers, were blondes, with yellow or taway hair and eyes gray or blue:

Polsonleg is believed to be very common at the present day in Turkey and Persia. Two historians say that Alexander the Great died from a dose of poison la bis wine.

The names of seventeen Roman emperors of the West and twenty-two Emperors of the East are preserved who are supposed to have died at the hands of the secret poisoner.

For nearly twenty years Hannibal, anticipat Ing defeat and capture, carried polson concealed in a finger-ring. He finally took it to avoid falling into the hands of the Romane.

Just before his first abdication Napoleon at- tempted his own life by pplson He was found unconscious, but by skillful treatment from the doctors be was revived and restored.

During a large part of the seven years' war Frederick the Great carried an ounce of corro sive sublimate in his pocket to use in case of hopelers disaster. On one or two occasions he came near swallowing it.

Mohammed was always on his guard against polson, but lospite of all ale precautions he once poisoned by Jewish mistress. She administered the poison in a leg of mutton, and although it did not kill the Prophet, he for many years suffered from its effects.

After the death of James I of England, the populace took the notion that he had been pasoned by a jealous woman at the instigation of Villiers. A quack doctor named Lamb was suspected of having furalabed the fatal dose, and was literally forn to pieces by a mob in Cheap- side in broad daylight before the police could interfere,

In 1643, Henry, Duka of Gulse, wished to get rld of an enemy ́named Annese,'' He offered a soldier a rich reward if he would ile in wait and stab Annere in the back. With horror, the

soldier refused. That would be asination, and he was a soldier, zotan assassin... A com- promise was effected. He was willing to take the money and have Annise poisoned, but not to asassinate him. The money was paid and Annese was polsoned,

When Anthony and Cleopatra were contem- plating suicide they made a collection of a great variety of poisons, and tried each of them on two or more slaven In order to ascertain whether death was accompanied with much apparent ruffering. One historian declares that over sou persons lost their lives in order that the Informs ilon might be obtained. The result was that Anthony killed himself with a dagger, and Cleopatra either with one of her selected poisons or by a serpent's bite.

The greatest Roman polsoner was Locurta. Her chief patron was Nero, but she bad also as customers most of the leading families in Rome, and_so_prosperous was her business that her wealth became a proverb. Profligate sons were polsoned by their fathers, wealthy fathers by their husbands by their young wives. Nero and sons, old wives by their young husbands, old ---Locusts oftea tried the effects of a new poston on slaves provided by the Emperor. It was Locusts who farnished the poison that ridded Nero of bisteacher, Burbu-Globt Democrat.
