LYYEXTED OXE HUNDRED YEARS
" AGO
Farmer Samed Otis, Intents
lor High Buildings.
j Boston, Mass., August 3. 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.

frequent borrower of small sums from
bis neighbor, Colonel Arkwrlght, and
as a rule he repaid those little debts
at the appointed time. 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

'No, suh," responded Uncle Reuben.

in the stalls sat a smartly dressed girl
and the young man who deemed ber

rather to discuss, the audience than
