Why the Sioux Indiana Were Araid of
Peaceful Prof. Harden.
Prof. F. V. Haydcn was the founder
of the system which developed into the
geological survey of the United States,
lie was a man of great genius and a
renowned scholar, but erratic and
peculiar. It was not uncommon for
strangers to follow him several blocks,
their attention arrested by his bowed
figure as he almost ran for a few steps,
men suddenly stopped with his gray
eyes fixed on the pavement, then ran
again as If a sudden thought had struck
him; then they would inquire: "Who
can that poor insane man be?"
While Prof. Haydcn was exploring
the land of the Sioux Indians some
years ago he once, in bin enthusiastic
passion for geological research, wan
dered away from his party; ho bad
loaded himself down with large speci
mens of mineral, and while tramping
slowly along in his absent-minded way
the Indians captured him. They
whooped and yelled at their prize at
first, but upon seeing all tho "rocks
and worthless stones" which the poor
man was ctaggerirg under, and his

Edlaon Tells How II Llve anil Mov a and
Dora His Work.
I mot Thomas A. Edison, the Wizard
of Menlo Park, just before he sailed
for Paris. We had a long conversa
tion, in which he lold me many Inter
esting things about his life in the little
Jersey home. He is a hard worker
and sticks to his laboratory week out
and week in. Speaking of his seem
ingly nevor-ceaaing investigations, he
said; "When I think I am on some
new line of discovery I keep at it
night and day, sleoping but a few
hours on aloungo with my clothing on.
I havo gone for weeks at a time with
three aud four hours' sloop each day.
If I were to remove my clothing I
would get up fooling out of shape, and
with all desire lost for continuing my
labors. My train of thought would be
lost I havo got a complete little den
whore I work, which I have christened
'No. 6.' It is hardly a little room
either, as it takes in about half of one
floor, and is supplied with every known
Invention in the line of oloctriclty. I
enjoy life there more than anywhere
else, and I am surrounded by as fine a
lot of men as any ouo could wish to
be associated with. The greatest
source of enjoyment to me is when I
have hit upon a new idea, to call in
some of the fellows and cive them a
surprise. I remember well when I had
about perfected the phonograph. I had
the instrument placed near the table
In my garden. While I was absent at
dinner two or three of the men became
engaged in conversation near the door.
One follow complained of tho trouble
he had had in his family, of how he
had lost two children, and tho diffi
culty he had in getting along. The
phonograph received the conversa
tion, the melancholy statement of the
man, comments of the others, and
when 1 returned and turned the crank
the whole thing was repeated. I sum
moned the said workman to my den
and told him to take a chair. I
touched the crank, and out rolled his
whole talk. You never saw a more
surprised man in all your Ufa He sat
there looking at me apparently thrilled
with wonderment I extended my
sympathy and aid, of course, but his
trouble was lost in his surprise.
"I remember well whon we began
to work on the incandescent light
About fifty men remained up all night
with mo, and to keap us awake I hired
a German band to plav livelv airs.
About midnight we had our lunch
served. The novelty of the work and
the idoa of a band playing in the
laboratory kept the men awake until
one o'clock, when, under various pre
texts, they would go to some other
part of tho building. Invaribly they
found some hiding-place where they
could sleep. I had several skir
mishes looking up the drowsy
ones, and they were all
brought back to their tables and
forced to keep' awake. After that
they worked all night with me without
any trouble."
I asked Mr. Edison if he had any
new invention in course of develop
ment He said, with a faint smile:
"I think we may find something new
in a short while. My health is some
what impaired, as a result of very
close application, but I expect to find
complete recuperation abroad, and
then it is quite possible that I may
have another surprise ready." N. Y.

Dog-Selling KtraorUlnarr.
Two ladies, while walking in Itesrent
street, iondon, were accosted by a man,
who requested them to buy a beautiful lit
tle aog, covered with loner white hair,
which he carried in hia arms. They pass
ing on without heeding him, ho followed
and repeated his entreaties; they looked
at tne animal, and were at last persuaded.
I no man took it home for them, re
ceived the money, and left the dog is
the arms of the ladies. A short time
elapsed, and the dog, which had mean
while been very quiet, in spite of a
restless, bright eye, began to show
symptoms of uneasiness, and as be ran
about the room exhibited some unusual
movements, which rather alarmed the
fair purchasers. At last, to their great
dismay, the new dg ran squeaking up
one of the window curtains, so that
when the gentleman returned home a
few minutes after, he found the ladies
In consternation, and right glad to have
his assistance. He vigorously seized
the animal, and taking out his pen
knife commenced cutting off its cover
ing, thereby displaying a largo rat to
their astonished eyes, and, of course, to
its own destruction. N. Y. Ledger.
