One hundred years ago today there was born In the little '. town of Halifax, J Vt, a man whose Inventive genius led i the way for the- erection of the sky i scraping buildings 'that now disting uish every American ci:y, and inci dentally added millions of dollars to the value of real estate. The man was Elisha G. Otis. His invention was the elevator., undoubt edly one of the most Important anu useful Inventions of the 19th century. Without the facilities offered by the elevator for reaching any desired height the tall building of today. It is hardly necessary to state, would be wholly Impractical. "". ,CtJ; VT.T rmr but his Inventive genius led him to turn hfs attention to mechanical pursuits. Af ter engaging In various line of manu facturing in Albany, Troyv and one or, two other places he finally located In Yonkers, where he was given charge of the erection of some buildings for a manufacturing company. " Iii erecting the buildings it bEcame necessary to construct an elevator for use on the premises, and In connec tion with this Mr.' Otis devised a plan to prevent th fall of the platform Jn case of the breaking or the hoisting cables. It was this safety device that brought th'5' elevator Into practical me, Y v, . Mr.' Ql Is first demonstrated the safety and utility of his Invention at the International exposition held '. in New York City In 1853. .Within a few years thereafter the elevator system was Introduced ltttb public buildings. The Old Fifth avenue hotel, which waB torfl down only a few years ago, was the first to install an elevator and for a long time It was an object of much curiosity" to. all visitors to the metropolis. ' ; ; . , Mr, Otis lived to see his Invention come Into general use not only In Am erica but throughout a large part of the world. He established a factory for the construction of his (levators In Yonkers, where he resided until his death In 1861. While his name will always be Inseparably linked with his invention of the elevator he was fertile In other lines of Invention and Improvement, among his products be ing a machine for making blind sta ples, an automatic wood turning ma chine, a steam plow, and a rotary oven for use In the making of bread.

Two Women, In her book "Woman and. Labor" Ollre Schrelner gives an nmuslng Illus tration of the fact that It Is not the amount of money a person has which makes him or her a parasite on socl- "The wife of an American million aire." says Mrs. Schrelner, "was visit ed by a. woman, the daughter and wid ow of a small professional man. She stated that she was In need of both food and clothing. The millionaire's .wife gave ber a leg of mutton and two Invaluable dresses. ; The woman pro ceeded to whine, though in vigorous health, that she had no one to carry them home for her. The American, the descendant of generations of able, laboring, New England Tuiitan wom en, tucked the leg of mutton under one arm and the bundle of clothes un der, the other and walked off down the city street toward the woman's dwelling, followed by the astoulshed pauper parasite." ; Tho Size of 6ome Start. M. Nordmann of the Tarls observa tory believes that he has devised a successful method of determining the diameters of stars by a comparison of their effective temperatures with their parallaxes. In the case of some of the brightest stars he has reached Interesting results. Thus he finds thai Aldebaran. tne bright star In Taurus. Is veritably a giant sun, the ratio of Its dinmeter to that of our sun. being greater than that of the sun to the planet Jupiter. This means that Alde baran has a diameter probably not les than 8,000,000 miles, or more than thirty ... times the distance from the earth to the moon. On the.other hand Birlus, or the dog star, to our eyes th brightest, of all the stars, is, accord ing to M. Nordmann, but little large! than our sun. in ITT1 NICE LEVEL LOTS LOCATED TV0 BLOCKS ttORTHOF THE RAILROAD SHOPS. l'e are offering these lots at from $160. to $200. each, on the most liberal terms We furnish you an abstract of titl e, VJhen yov have paid for these lots.

But on one oc casion when he had been accommo dated with a loan of $2.50, which he promised to return la a few days, he allowed two or three weeks to pass without making any mention of his In debtedness, and. In fact, seemed to avoid his creditor. But one morning the colonel unexpectedly encountered him .at the postotlke. "Hello, Uncle Rube! Didn't you bor row a little 'money from me several weeks ago?" "Dat's right, cunnel," Bald the' old man. "I sholy did." "You told me you'd pay It back In three or four days, llave you had bad lucky. 'No, suh," responded Uncle Reuben.
