A. Kdison, wonders are yet lo be unfolded in ihe world of electricity. V\!e are groping on the verge of an oilier great epoch iu the world's history, *? he saiu in an interview at his laboratory in West Orange, N. J. It would nol surprise me any morning lo wake -up anil luid lhat sumeoin,*, some group 01 joo,ooo scientific men who arc mve&n- gatiiig all over lhe group, has . scued upon the secret of electricity by direct process and begun anotlier practical revolution in human all'airs. It can be done; it will be done. I expect 10 see Ue before 1 die. The first great change in the production ot electricity will abolish currying coal for that purpose, he said, instead ol digging gross material oul Jt' the earth, loading it on cars and carrying it, sa> 500 miles, there to put il under a boiler and burn, and so get [lower, we shall set up plants at tlie mouth's ol mines, generate power there and transmit it-wherever it is needed by copper wire. It is pj'eposterous to keep on putting coal mines 011 wheels, liis too cium- .-4)'. It is too costly. There is no ne- i-essity for it. It is easier to, carry _iuolei.ular vibration_by minions ol, waves a second'than freight cars full ol crude mailer. We can ship 100,000 Horsepower over the wire quicker and more cconimically than we can send the equivalent in coal over a ruilroad tracif. s We must eliminate the railroad altogether from this problem. What's thc use of il? Wc don't want coal anyhow. It docs us no good lo look at it. What we want is the resultant of the utmost energy thai can be produced. And there is no sense in carrying around millions of ions of raw material like coal when wc can get ti product delivered lo us hy wire. Everything points to the fact that in the near future electricity will be produced for genural consumption by great power houses at the mouths ol* coalpits. This is the logical and common sense outcome of present events. Now, the truth is, that il wi'l cost a third less to transport electrical power by wire than to carry it in the form of coal in railroad cars. Assume the price of coal to'be $1 a (on at thu mouth of the mine and assume thc freight to be $1.90. Now, wc can' turn coal into electricity al the mine nud convey it by wire by less lliiui half of the cost of the freightage of coal. Klectriclty will Inlce the place of horses. It will nolve the vehicle and truiTic problem of cities, My new electric storage battery itself will make electricity cheaper than horses, In thu spring we will lie ready to furnish new batteries. Not only will they inkc half tho spnee of homo tniflic, hut lliey will go twice mi fust. Tliey can * ho stored on upper floor? by menus of elevators. The saving of Hlahlc *pitcc in New Voile will cover al least $300,000,- ono won h of property, Not only will electric power be developed nnd distributed from conl mines in thn future, but nil the witter* power In (he world will be used for the production of electricity.. That imwif ment has begun nnd is ndvnnrlng rapidly. In California, where men hnve nerve enough to overcome habit, they nre transmitting electric power 375 milrs by wire nnd running street caru' and lighting cities by it. That Is the, sort ol spirit ttial will wake Hie world up one ol c.icm* da)*,. 1 with (ha( 'j-'ii it in California would sordid everywhere. ■\A7E also have on hand a heavy stock of white and tinted paper, suitable for which we will print and pad, in similar lots as the Envelopes, at the same • Wt*W/ Sst<0Xm* MKkWmf ^MP/i** ''mWtwimf ^MKtSSm* ~Mj tlllf Uy4MtU nrices. ®- ° 9w m ■ •• 85 -3R '8B 8B- 1& - ' £& SB ' SSS ir J-V/V'VJ' 9TK a»K ■ SJtj, OIB * . aua alB SKI Sag g|g altS alB Call, Telephone or Write THE LEDGER, FERN BE, for anythingyou require in Printing. ■l^awiikuniii 1 11 ■iB ma#JM4&«ra L.

Mrs. Osier, widow oi the late Canon Featherstono Osier and mother of four ot Canada's moat distinguished men, recently celebrated her' ninety-ninth birthday at Toronto. Leaving England in the early thirties, Mr. and lire. Osier settled at Bond Head, On* tario, and there they lived and labored for many years as missionaries, Mr. Osier subsequently taking charge of an Anglican church at Ancastor, where he continued until created canon. His last quiet years were - spent in Toronto, where he died only a few years ago. Mrs. Osier, in spite of her years, is still vigorous ot intellect and retains all her old interest in church work..

A Woman Dinner Wit What person, however enthusiastic, has ever dreamed that .woman would essay what has ever been left to man alone—the after-dinner epeech? Mrs. Frederick Nathan of 162 West Eighty-sixth street is the woman who has dared. Her success, has been overwhelming. And it has been no audience of diletantes whom she lias had to address. Facing bcr, _were,somc^ot,thej*«st3peakers,in_ali New York. The dinner was Mr. Cutt'ng's.- The guest of honor was Mr. "William T. Jerome , The place was the Hotel Astor. . Of course, Mr., Jerome's •wns the apecchpf tho evening-, but it won't do him a bit of good to say that Mrs. Nathan eclipsed him. Mr. Jerome admitted it by confiscating for tils own future use tbe brief notes that Mrs. Nathan jotted down when told sho must say something, There wore ladies at the dinner, but thoy weren't down on the programme. There is a poem called Success and Victory, and Mrs. Nathan's cousin, Miss Emma LnsaroB, wrote it. So it was perfectly natural that whon Mr. Cutting wanted it read at tbe dinner ho should ask Mrs. Nathan to read it Mr. Jerome and several ot the others, had spoken splendidly boforo Mrs. Nathan was called upon (or the poem. At a dinner recently given In Kansas women wero barred. Mrs. Nathap thought it unfair. So she promjC/ proceeded to speak her mind about it to Mr. Cutting txul Mr. Jilfome. Tho poem to gracefully sidetracked for the moment and Mrs, Nathan began. In tho twinkling of nn eye she had hor hearera roaring with laughter. Sho didn't spare them, either— thoso mere mon to whom after-dinner speaking Is second, nature. Mr. Jorome applauded . and the banquet room rang with cheers. Finally she read the poem most gractfally and started to take tier seat Don't atop, cried tbe banqueters, led by Mr. Cuttlug and Jerome, More, mora. Well, said Mrs. Nathan, with a most captivating smile, I havon't mado half as good a speech as I am capable ol, becuusa the speech is cxtoinporaneoai and I'm Ul at ease for want of a pair of trousers* pocket* to pat my hands In. 'The fact brought out in the New York investigation that Mr. Hadley bought a controlling interest in the Provident Savings Life Assurance society practically, with^ money borrowed from the corporation, shows that latter-day financiering is real Yankee hoes trading raised to a higher power.—Toronto Globe." This is onlv one more instance of the abuse of trust reposed iu the managers and directors of Life companies, which roused the American people to action,-and which will Anally result in regulations to restrict the managing aad directing trust'so that it will be one companv, one directorship or one management for one individual.* The death of Senator David_Wark,. the oldest member ofthe Canadian Parliament, recalls an anecdote which illustrates his remarkable independence. At the sige of 101 he was still holding the seat which had been hi* for almost half a century. During his last years his faintly: had been worried about his habit of traveling alone in midwinter from his home in Fredericlown, N. B., .to his post in Ottawa. They urged him to let his daughter accompany him. Senator Wark would have none of her. '■A man of my age," he said, "has all he can do taking care of himself without having a woman to look after." The New Court of Appeals hns decided that if a passonger cannot find a seat In a car for which he has bought a ticket he bus a right to ko Into a drawing-room car and tnko a scat until onq is provldod for him in the ordinary passenger car, and also that if seats are not to be had because they are occupied by parcels ho Is not bound to ask the owners to removo them. If this is not tho law in Canada it should be. "The Insurance magnntos of Now York, like the plumber magnates of Toronto, quarrelled among themselves. This tendency in the salvation of the public.
