If you meet Edison this inorning lie h a s just found somrtlmi):, und if you meet him to-morrow ho lias added u new discovery to the realm ofscieat iUc fnveiiticn, Il is hard to keep u p wi th liim I'roliably no invest i -gator in the field of sc ienio has ever been Rurrouadcd by such perfei-t i-onditioiiB for proscrii l i i ic Ins resoarclies. This lias not a lways been so, of ixmrsc, for Thomas Kdi-son has discovered among other Ihiiigs tho way nf making money.

His laboratory Is abuul a mile from tho station ot Orange, N. J . His c h a r m i n g home is not fa r removed in the beaut i fu l rural isolation of Llewelyn I 'ark. Within the inclosurc w h e r e bis working p lan t is situated s tands a largo three-storied br ick buildi T. This is tho laboratory, a p e r f e c t beo-hivoof energet ic expenment ing .

W h e n one e n t e r s the luboralnry he is con-f ronted by a pr inted l i s t e r which in forms the In t ruding visitor t h a i Mr. Edison is so occupied wi th b is work and the s t r eam of callers is so grea t t h a t h e is const ra ined to hide himself absolutely. Happily, an ap-pointmcnt to meet him rublinl this p lacard of i t s business-like inbospitallty. l i e w a s engaged nt the. moment, however, in work which he could not easily in ter rupt , and begged for a q u a r t e r of an hour 's delay.

"Hils l ime of wai t ing admitted of a eur -anry glance a t tho building. There is a line l ibrary room with numerous al.nvi-s off from its two storii s. It i-. finished in hard wood, with a parque t ry fioor atretvn wi th Pers ian rugs , and tho l a rge hpa.v brilliant-ly lit by e lect r ic lights. There a re hun-dreds of t hese being eonstautly tes ted ui tho building, and the re is a seeming ex-t ravagance in the lavish illumination, which Is only a seeming one. He has one Inindre,! and fifty men in cons tan t employment In this place at Orange, Mr. Kdison is eon-duct ing expe r imen t s in about sixty ilifrei» ent things, some of them entirely outs ide Iho field of electricity, though, of course, his labors a r e chielly in this importanl branch, w h e r e so much Is siill unknown. An engine of for ty horse power runs all the machinery of the shop, though t h e r e is a dynamo on t h e second floor which is used when tho l a rge r eng ine is not working.

On the th i rd floor the re Is at the wes te rn ext remity a good-sized l ed un- room, w h e r e lectures on in t e r e s t i ng poiiits in physics nnd chemis t ry and mechani rs an- del ivered lo tho employes. Mr, Edison never lect-u r e s himself , a l though he has the vuluable g i f t of explaining bis inventions or some sdent iBc application which they involve with such c learness t h a t even the o rd inary mind, l i t t le used to thought on such sub-jects , can g r a s p the idea al once.

In th i s room is u grand paino. one made fo r Josef Hofmann, and sent to Mr Kdison a f t e r t h a t young pheiiomonou hail completed his concert season. In this room is the pho-nogrnph. Boxes, filled with wax c . t l imlers live inches long, s t and on the floor These cylinders a r e the phonetic records of some phase of sound, and when one is liui-d on tho b ra s s cylinder of the, pbouograpli and the glass-tipped ends ot a bifurcated r u b b e r lube put into the ears , tho auditor hea r s the b las t ol a full band , clearly diseriminaUng tho different I n s t r u m e n t s ; or s"me vocal solo wi th piano acoompanimcnt ; or some conversat ional r emarks , or an addres s by a speaker .

The q u a r t e r of nn hour ' s grace to the in-ventor w a s more than up a f t e r a walk through the laboratory. In a moment Mr Edison came in. Willi a cigar-box unde r Ins a rm. dressed In a black still und a liaimol s h i n , with a earlessly-kuntted He, Any one meeting him by ehance in the building would take him to lie one of the humbles t employes. He s e a t e d himself und put his hand back of Ins ea r at Cue i lrsl r emark shot ut him in the on l inarv tone of conver-aaUon, for . like II- I. t h e Inventor of the telephone. Edison, the inventor of the pho-nograpb, is deuf. He lias a m u n d face, brown hair , a good-natured, off hand a i r and is fond ol un easy jiosture when he is talking.

" W h a t is your last tr ick in the field of science. Mi Kdisonl" wus the i l i - l ques-tion,

" I am nol a kcientifiu man. ' ' was the r a the r uneii |iected response, "I am an in-ventor, There is a difference net ween them, although it may nuvei have s t ruck yon.

"That is a good i d e a The man will b« killed with a c u r r e n t of the proper n u m b e r of volts in the lenlli uf a second.

Aflar I l l s C h a m ' s lleatli—A Lawyer ' s Thr i l l ing Story.

The lawyers wero ta lking about c i rcum. slantial evidence and several r emarkab le cases . In which innocent persons who had boen condemned wero ment ioned, says the Brooklyn CUiun.

" P e r h a p s the most s ingular r a se of the k ind , " said a lawyer , "is one which is re-corded in the books and is pret ty old, i t g a v e rise, as i under s t and , to the chango in tho law requlriug tho body of u murdered per-

Cn Ui be found before any ono can be pun-hed for the cr ime. " T w o merchan t sai lors wen t to an inn in

an English sea-port. To make the story o l e t r e r I'll call Ibcm J a c k and Tom J a c k pulled . l a well-Ill led wallet to s a t i s f y the landlord that ho ami bis friend could pay thei r way They invited Iho landlord to d r ink with Ibcm, and Tom produced a big Jack-knife curiously handled, to c u t his to-bacco. The mn was close nn tho harbor. The f ron t door opened upon the quay , ond nt tho side was a covered way which led to tho sleeping rooms in tho rear . Near by en tlio quay were stone s t eps going down to the wa te r for the aecoinmodution of boats.

" A i t e r the two men had bad a good t ime they retired lo ono nf tho rooms in tho r ea r , w h e r e tbey were lo occupy a bed logether . Tbey were both j u s t sober enough to know w h a t they wero about. The nex t morn ing spotsof blood wero observed upon (bufloorof t h e covered way, f rom the door of tho bed-room occupied by tho sailors to tho quay. Tho landlord wen t to rouso up his gues ts , b n t found only one of them the re I t was Tom, and ho vres f a s t asleep and rcquUod a good deal of arousing. When asked where h is eompanion was bo appeared confused and a larmed aud said h e d i d o t J m o w .

" O n tho lied-clothe* and floor t h e r e wero l a rge spots of blood. Tho w a t e r In tho basin was bloody, and tho towel ktiowod t h a t bloody bonds hod 1 ocn wiped ii|ion it. The j sck kni fe , seen tho previous evening In t h e possession of Tom. was found upon tho table, and w a s l ikewise s ta ined wi th blood. Unde r Tom's bolster a t the sido nex t the wall a wal le t was found fillod with money, and was identified as tha t which Jaek had exhibited the n igh t before. Eve ry th ing so f a r pointed lo a murde r , and to Tom as tho pe rpe t ra to r of It, Tho au-tborilles w e r e notified aud Tom w a s ar-rested. He told a very r emarkab le s tory.

"Ho sald' lhat when b e a n d J a c k were about to g e l Into bed J a c k sugges ted the idea of robbers, r emark ing t h a t it wouldn ' t l ako a very clover fellow to ge l In a t tho window, and. as Utey wore likaly to sleep soundly a f t e r their carouse , it woald bo easy for a thief , if he got into tbo room, to rob them, T c m h a d a l ready got into bed, and w a a lying next the wall, so be sugges ted t h a t all thei r monoy should b e p u t u n d e r his pillow. U would be a eomparat iveiy easy task , he said, for a thief to d r a w the wal le t f rom Jock 'spi l iow, b u t it would bo much moro likel i- to rouse one or t h e o ther of them U a tbicl a t tempted to reach over and t a k e the money if il w e r o u n d e r Tom's pillow. This •uggest iou was adopted, and t h o wal le t bos longing lo J a a k was placed unde r Tom's pil-low, Soon a f t e r they got into b e d J a o k com-plain:*! tha i b is noso had began to bleed, and arose. He poured some w a t e r in to tho bowl and t n e d to slop t h e bleeding. Then Tom arose and assisted. Plnally Tom said that he had beard t b o t <-nld metal placed ul the back of iho no«k would stop bleeding m once, and thereupon ho got his big jack knife, opened it und placed it ogainal J ack ' s nock. I t was da rk , aud thoy w e r e both a liUle muddled with dr ink , so tha t their movements wero not part icu-larly ca re fu l , and t h u s the blood got upon the floor, the table and tho knife . F ind ing t h a t the b leeding would not s lop J a c k grow scmmvhal a larmed, and this prpbobly so-bered him. for he sold tha t be would put on his clothes and walk down to the quay, a s t h e exercise and f r e sb a i r might stop the flow of blood. Tom said t h a t bo lay down, and the las t he remembered was J a c k leaving the room to ca r ry out bis purpose

" This s tory was considered a very clever cnncoctiou. a s il fa i r ly accounted fo r every th ing but the absolute d isappearance of Jack . I Tom's theory was tha t be bad fallen into tho wa te r and been drowned, nnd thul his body had been car r ied out by the tlile. The theory of tbo •u thor i tk is wits tha i Tom hail m u r d e r e d J a c k for his money and curried his Dody lo the w a t e r and thrown il i». The fact t h a t Tom had not a t tempted lo escape or In any way lo cover up the cr ime d r l not give the offlclals much con-corn. Ho might , iboy said, have f e l t oonfi-dent tha i bis s tory would be believed, or be might, a f t e r t h e deed, havo been over-come with the liquor ho bail taken aud laid down, or he might have imagined thai ho would have opportuni ty enough lo got c lear before any a la rm was raised in tbo morn-ing. Tom. anyhow, was held f u r ihc mur-der of Jack , and la d ' le t ime was Indi t tod by the g r a n d Jury. On tbo trial eve ry th ing was made lo tall s t rongly aga ins t the prisoner, and he was convicted mid hanged.

"Now comes the sequel lo the story. T w o years or more a f t e r sentence had been exo-cs led upon the unfo r tuna te Tom. Jack ap-peared upon the soeae once more, olive and well. T h e n fo r t h e first l ime he heard of his own m u r d e r and the b a n g i n g oi b is shipmste fo r tho crime.

H a i r u Cub Was Cared For by l i s 1 ' a i e n t i In a Hear I ' l l .

A w r i t e r in Forut and Bbrtam descr ibes how a cub was cared for by i ts pa ren t s In a bea r pit. Ho w r i t e s :

" A s the re was a deep boslr. filled with w a t e r In the pit, 1 summoned ass is tance nnd had aomo largo pieces of Joists dropped into II lo servo us floats if Iho cub should

''happen to full into tho water . At tho first splash of tbo t imber tbo female guvo ua a n g r y snort am! d a r t e d into t h e Inner den, slowly followed by the male, but a-wtoon ns wo bud llnisbcd und ail became quie t they r •turned and proceeded wi th much caution to fish all tho lumber out of the tank and s t r e w it all over the lloorof the pit . A t u ight , a f t e r iboy re t i red , Iho door of t h e inner don was closed, t h e keepers ven tu red in, removed tho lumber , and 1 concluded It would be best not to i n t e r f e r e again b u t to t r u s t to bear wisdom in the fu ture .

" T h o young one iiguiii mmlo it* appear-ance the next af ternoon, but did nol ven tu re beyond the doorslil. Severa l days elapsed beforo It made the a t t emp t Id come o u t Into tbo open pit, und when it finally did so It c r awled along to the f r o n t g r a t i n g and nes t led between lis n tolher ' s f r o n t paws, who was squatted on her haunches, as was h e r usual custom. As il gained s t r e n g t h i t began to play around hor, b u t she never seemod to give herself any concern about it and allowed i t lo wander about us It wished. Finally il began to approach tho mole anil a t t cmpl to scduco him Into a frolic, but t h e old fellow re-mained stolid and iudifferent , until ono day it gave him a sha rpe r nip, en Brriero, than usual, when he whir led with an angry g r u n t ond mode a pass a t i t wi lh ono of h is f r o n t paws, Tho youngs t e r was too nimble fo r him and galloped oil to tho back of tho pit, and wha t I had been anx-iously expect ing oocurred. The l ank was p laced well in t h e r e a r of t h e pit, with only a n a r r o w ledge be tween it and the back wall. In hurry ing along it the youngs te r lost his balancc and pitched headforemost Into tho water . At the noise of tho splash t h e r e was a s imul taneous rush of both male and female, and a s soon a s the cub ' s head appeared four g r e a t paws wero passed ande rnea th him and he was gent ly l i f t ed out of the wa te r . While coughing ond sp lu t te r ing f rom the effects of his sud-den both, his molhor th rus t bcr noae under-nea th him and gave him a loss which landed him close lo tbo door of tho inner don. Ho did nol wall for a repetit ion of tho operation, but ga thered himself u , and d a r t e d oulof sight. W h a t a pi t iful roar t h e female turned and pitched Into tbo malo, g iv ing him a most unmerc i fu l dmbbing , and I walked away perfec t ly nun . tha t drown-ing would neve r be the cause of t h a t young-s t e r s death. Hence fo r th my visi t* to tho pit w e r e not f r equen t , and some days passed be fo re I again saw the cub fall Into tbo w a t e r . Much lo my su rp r i so ne i ther of t h e p a r e n t s paid t h e a l igbtes t at tent ion to it, b u t allowed him to »cramble out unaided, which he did without much difflculty."
