Edison Averaged About 18 Hours a Day at Work Edison alvays had a hundred things he was burning to try. If he was away from his work, he made a long list of things to be done, next day. "Putting salt on the tail of an idea," was h's happiness and when some experiment turned out successfully, he would dance about, to his assistants amazement. On one of his birthdays, a visitor expressed the wish that Edison would live many more years. Taking the usual little pencil stub from his vest pocket he made a careful calculation and then said, How would it be to live about 145 years? Ive Just figured that Im working 'double shift,' so compared with the average 'single shift' man, if I live to be eighty Id really be one hundred forty-fiv- e years old. Edisons energy was vital and tremendous. He worked about 18 hours a day. And he was a night owl by choice. But when he was fagged he could "hit the hay and sleep like a baby. Short naps after exhaustion brought him back to a task completely refreshed. He once said : "Most men do their work in a series of efforts that require a lot more time than continuous application; when I have a p until I problem, there is no get somewhere on it. If I am up half the night, when I do go to bed it is usually in contentment, while your routine man may worry about a matter for a week before he arrives anywhere on a oroblem." . let-u- LL. STEVENSON Corsages Discussing some origins of property rights, the Journal of the American Institute of Real Estate Appraisers dies the fact that the first property rights in this country were acquired by the colonists by virtue of royal charters, occupation or purchase from the Indians. The lands usually consisted of large tracts and the title was deemed to vest in the inhabitants, in the commoners, in the original proprietors, and, usually,' In theory, in the king of England, under whom they held title. "The time came," explains the Journal, "when it was deemed advisable to divide the lands among individuals, and many were the disputes in proprietor meetings or in town meetings between proprietors, Inhabitants and commoners in respect to the division. Sometimes the proprietors claimed ownership for themselves to the exclusion of the other inhabitants of the community and held proprietor meetings, as distinguished from town meetings, and made the division among themselves. "Sometimes the distinction between proprietor meetings and town meetings had been lost, 'and oftentimes the right to share in the division,- in so far as inhabitants who were not proprietors were concerned, rested upon .which had a majority physical or otherwise. Sometimes the division was made by number, each getting an cqua: share; sometimes it depended upon the amount of taxes which a person paid, the larger taxpayer receiving the larger quantity of land. "Sometimes the division was made by the meeting, but frequently by a committee selected to make a survey and to lay out the land. In any event, the lands allotted were usually large farms, with a share of pasture land, wood lot, land for cultivation, a house lot, and often jin undivided share in the commons." couraging editorial calls, a young author opened his briefcase and found not the three manuscripts with which he had started but a collection of frilly, feminine silk things. His wife didnt make any comments but he didn't like the look in her eye, 60 when he started to backtrack the next morning, he wasnt in exactly good spirits.

No end embarrassed, he started to apoloShe cut gize for his carelessness. him short. She too hadnt discovered the error until she had reached her apartment. Then, moved by curiosity, which even editors seem to have, she read the manuscripts and liked them so well that she decided to accept all three stories. Washington, D. C. A prophecy made by a noted geographer 65 years ago that the center of population of the United States would ultimately be at a point 30 miles east of St. Louis appears nearer of fulfilment. The term "center of population," as used by the census bureau, is that point which may be considered the center of gravity of the United States; that is, if it were a rigid plane without weight and the population distributed over It, with each individual being assumed to have equal weight and to exert an influence on a center point proportional to his distance from the point. Although the bureau has not made a study to determine the center of population since 1030 because of the expense Involved, it was believed that on the basis of most recent population distribution estimates, the hypothetical point is several miles west of Paxton, Ind., close to the Indiana-Hlinoi- s line. Stationary Point Forecast. In 1872, J. D. Hilgard, prominent geographer of his day, predicted the line which the center of population would follow and prophesied that the imaginary center of gravity would move by the year 2000 to a point approximately 30 miles east of St. Louis where it would remain stationary in subsequent years. The census bureau in 1930 computed the pivotal point at a site 2.9 miles northeast of Linton, in Stock-to-n township, Greene county, Indiana. In the decade from 1920, the center moved 22.3 miles westward and 7.8 miles southward. Because of the large westward migration of population in 1933 and thereafter, experts believed that the shift in the center would exceed 25 miles. The greatest movement west was during the decade from 1850 to 1360 when the center advanced C0.6 miles. The least movement west was during the decade from 1910 to 1920, when it advanced only 9.8 miles. The total westward shift from 1790 to 1930 was 589 miles. Parallel. Hilgard predicted that the center Along Thirty-ninl- b would follow close to the thirty-nint- h parallel of latitude. Census bureau experts said the line of the movement since 1872 has been remarkably close to that parallel. The point farthest north was reached in 1790 and farthest south in 1830. In 1790 the center was approximately 23 miles east of Baltimore.

The earliest known alchemist, named Jofiiku, lived in Japan more than 2,160 years ago, according to a study reported to the o American Chemical society by Nakaseko of Tokyo and Tenney L. Davis of the Massachusetts Institute of Technology. The emperor Chin Shih Huang Ti of Japan, ruling about 225 B. C., is said to have sent Jofuku on an elaborate naval expedition to find three supernatural islands in the midst of the Eastern sea, "where the immortals lived and a drug existed which prevented death." The alchemist, whose career Is recorded in the Shih Chi" or "Historical a Memoirs of Chien, discovered a remarkably peaceful and fertile land where he became king. Jofuku' s tomb stands on a plot of sanctified ground at Shingu in Wakayama prefecture, Japan, where it is visited by pilgrims who bum incense, make offerings of pennies or rice, and pray for long life and happiness.

But up on Riverside drive every afternoon, a bent little man, with a face like a russet apple that has been kept in the cellar all winter, appears with a bag of feed and gives the sparrows a treat. A bit hesitant about being interviewed, he finally explained by saying that he had a fellow feeling for sparrows because they have so few friends. At first, he chased all the pigeons away before spreading food. Now the sparrows perform that task themselves so that everything is ready when he arrives. Pigeons are dumb anyway, he continued. On the other hand, sparrows ere smart, the proof lying in the fact that they are able to pick up a living in New York. With that, he avoided further questions by walking away. Boss: Up in the Bronx is a rather large apartment house, which has a rule that tenants cant sit out in front on folding chairs. There are also a number of other rules, in- cluding one about wasting hot waregulation is enforced strictly by an elevator man who also acts as doorman.

At two o'clock each pleasant afternoon, she comes out with her chair and, beaming at passers-bsits and knits until five when she goes inside. Instead of reminding her of the rule, the guardian carries her chair out and in for her.

True, all kinds cannot be obtained in bakeries because of insufficient demand. Yet day after day, New Yorks bakeries turn out 11 different varieties of foreign bread. As a matter of fact, even a Laplander can step into a bakery and obtain exactly the same kind of bread I can neither pronounce nor spell the name of it as relatives and friends in the homeland have as regular fare. New York: Amid the hurrying hundreds on lower Broadway at the close of the business day, a professional man on his way from his office to the subway slipped and would have suffered a bad fall had not another man caught him. There were thanks, of course, and during the ensuing conversation, they discovered that they had been living for the last six years not only in the same apartment house but on the same floor without having been aware of the existence one of the other.

BELKNAP, MONT, Plans are being made to put religious objects of the Gros Ventres Indian tribe in a fireproof building for preservation. Of particular interest are two pipes possessed by the Indians. The flat pipe is believed to have been given to the tribe when the world was made, and the feathered pipe is said to have been given an ancient chief during a violent storm. The keepers of the pipes have died and so great is the superstition concerning the objects, even among Christian members of the tribe, that they will not touch them. Several offers of money have been made by museums and private collectors. Egg-Layin- g Record Set by Pekin Duck NEWPORT, ORE.

It was in September, 1935, after the finding of two decapitated bodies in Kingsbury Run, a desolate region near the heart of the city, that Detective Sergeant James Hogan took up the trail of the Mad Butcher of Kingsbury Run." Today 13 detectives are working full time on the case. In the meantime they have not turned up one substantial clew to the identity of the surgically skilled murderer who prowls the city's industrial flats and the lake shore, lures his victims by making friends with them, lops off their heads while they still are alive, and then severs arms and legs with the precision of a practiced anatomist. Earlier ftlurder Recalled. The mystery began with the finding of the first two bodies two years ago. Exactly one year before that the nude torso of a woman was found on the shore of Lake Erie. Investigators since have linked that death with the series of torso murders. Sergeant Hogan has kept no record of the number of telephone calls from persons who think they have a solution to the mystery. He says the number would run into thou sands. He has on file more thaii 500 letters and telegrams containing fantastic information. Every suggestiun has been investigated from that of the New York criminologist end psychiatrist who suggested the murders might be the act of a suicide club to the advice of a man who said he was an expert and wrote in offering to solve the case within three months if paid $290 a month and given 20 men to work with him.

Hy. 364 Lusterware enjoyed a great vogue at the beginning of the in England Nineteenth century. All the Stafh fordshire potters made luster. his gold Wedgwood produced luster as early as 1776 and his silver in 1780. His lusterware is distinguished by the high quality of the body. This was essential to a surface free from roughness and is a mark of fineness in ail good luster. Spode made luster and it was produced at Leeds, Swansea, Liverpool,' and other places.' Brislington Though usually considered in the class of antiques, most of the English lusterware dates from about 1820 to 1840. The lustrous effects, relates a writer in the Los Angeles Times, were obtained on earthenware and porcelain by the application of a thin glaze of some metallic oxide. The process is a very ancient one which some authorities say originated with the Persians. The art was rediscovered in the Eighteenth century by the Staffordshire potters, and provided a new form of decoration which at once became very popular. Credit is usually to John Hancock of the Derby factory as the originator of English luster. It was not long, however, before the potters not only in the Staffordshire district but in the northern districts as well were decorating their pottery in this manner. The variety of decorative effects in lusterware is very great. They may include narrow bands, mottled effects, classical figures in white relief, reverse panels in which drawings or inscriptions are inted over the glaze. Then there is the cottage type of china with the overglaze prints of Faith, Hope and Charity, the Mother and Child series and so forth. Jo-sia- - transfer-pr- |
