I equipped aud ; lighted op a steamship, the Columbia, with about seventy-five to 1000 lamp containing paper carbons, which continued to light the ship satisfactorily for sever al months. "But while this was to a certain ex tent a triumph, we had not really pro duced a commercial article. We bid a successful lamp built en the right prin eir le, but it was not economic. It was fragile and costly. In fact, our car bon were apparently not made of the right substance. Bo me where in the woi Id we thought there . must exist a substance which could be turned into NEW YORK, June 24. Thomas A. Edison made the first modern incande scent lamp out of a vacuum pump and a piece of cotton thread. The idea of the bamboo Aliment was given to him by a pal m-leaf fan. Here is his story of the invention, which created a new industry and revolutionized the light ing effects of the world: f . "The subject of electric lighting oc cupied my attention at intervals from a very early period of my life," says Mr. disonJ ;Aa early as 1864 1 com-' menced to experiment in this field.

This knowledge send me samples of all the different opened the door to the later discoveries, qualities of bamboo that he might find I tested - the melting point of . many there. He sent me about forty differ substances under the vacuum pump, ent varieties of bamboo, in such quan and with the idea of increasing the titles as to enable me to make a num good effects of the platinum expert- ber of lamps of good quality.

About August, 1879, we obtained a vacuum pump which wi u'd pioduce .a vacuum up to the 100.000th part of an atnioephere, and during the next month we obtained a pump which would produce a vacuum up to the 1,000,000th part of ah atmos phere. - "Having this entire glass chamber exhausted to the one-millionth of an ipe adapted to the current of the dynamo and the dynamo , must be constructed to give the character of current required by the lamps, and likewise all parts of the system must be constructed with reference to -all other parts, since, in one sense, all the parts form one machine and the con nection between the i parts are elec trical instead of mechanical.

The unobserving man who comes to Salem is liable to overlook an innumer able list of small firms that are in ac tual existence and doing a prosperous business here. I refer to. the "pin stores. one or more ef which may be found at nt-arty every home in the city that has a small boy. or several dittos. The firm names me often very fantas tic. There are a good many ''Broth er' and "Companies, and very few silt nt partners. Tfcey deal In cigar boxes, shoe boxes, candy, nuts, dry goods and groceries, notion, etc.. etc. The larger bueiness- met fcf Salem hav been drawn upon very extent 1 very Jor the empty boxes that help to make up the stocks of theee pin stores. The proprietors of the sma.ll store often ad vertise bargain days of various kinds and clearance sales, and there are oc casionally bankrupt tocks bought up by the firms next door or on the next block. There is. in fact, a very brisk business can led oc by j these stcres. Side lines have been establishes! in some cases. In the way of circus per formances, theatricals, etc., end drug stores have been opened, also hotels and lunch counters especially havr sr-rung up and flourished.' Paints and oils are abo kept, and the paints at tried on front and back doors and forcesthe testa being made In pursu ance of an honest effort to sell nothing hut approved articles ar. honesty of effort that finds scant approval from the material and patt-mil parents in some casus. I hive heard of credit being given by tome of the liliputlin merchants, and in at least one t-asj burglars broke In and stole the major portion of a stock of goods, and car ried the plunder away, probably bing Intent on retting up an oppo.dtiort store. The- btn-inets life cf the pin stores was running alonx very smooth-1 ly until within the past few days. Tins had bvon the universal meJlum of ex chanKe. There was absolute free coin age from the papers and cushions' of the indulgent mammas and sisters of the city. The "crime of 1X73" hid nev er ber-n thought of. The universal measure and stanlard cf value a as appnrvmlr entiwly satlefact;ry. But thre was trouble one day last week. I A small boy whe had access t his father's nril kee Introduced nail cur-j rency into circti'atijn. The trouble was over his demand that one nail should equa! two pins In the transac tions of business. It was InsiHed in acme basements and sp.-ire noma and back vards that there ought to be a parity. However, the small bey with access to the nail keg had things his way fcr a time. He was the only one in his neighborhood who had access to any considerable number of nails, and so be insisted on his demands. He was a trust all by himself foi a time. He was the octopus equipped with all its tentacles. He was the juggernaut, cruelly crushing the life cut of all competitors. He was a bloatod bond holder. He was a corporation, with no soul to save. But his reign was a short one. Other, small boys w ether neighborhoods found mines of nail kegs in , out-of-wsy plires, and they developed them.. Now nails and pins are about on an equal footing, they are on a parity.. The supply and the demand have equalized things. I lsh all the, various firms and individuals operating' . pin (and pall) . stores throughout the city the most abundant success The owners of the r-lu stores will iu time be the owners of all the rest of the stores, and of all the prop erty of all kinds In the land, and they will have all the oIkes and employ ments. The fact is, after all. that an of property and al! employment ani business and social, bfe everywhere Is c-nly a grown-up pin store. I am an.Oregonian.
