MR. EDIS0FS LATENT.

THE" VITASCOPE IS THE GREAT INVENTOR'S NEWEST PRODUCTION.

Iht) Kinetoscope Perfected Spoctatora Witness a Skirt Danes and a Derby Race With Life Size Figures—Its Great PoeaibiUties.

A »ew invontion by Thomas A. Edison iwas shown to a few favored persona at the JWiesfe'Ornnge laboratory tlie other night. :^HSb new machine is really a grown up iinefcescope, and it? is a success^

Mr. Edison calls? his latest invention tie vitascapo, which he says ihcans a machine showing Hftjg arid that is'exactly what the new appffratna doe&.r

The vltadoope, wMcft has been in process of perfection at the Llewellyn laboratory for the lafit Seven: or eight months, under Mr. Edison's direction, is the ideal ho had in mind, he says, when hd began work onthe kinetesoope machine, with whioh he has never been satisfied.

The- vitascop§ is an improvement of the kiustescope, by which moving life size figures of m«n, women and animals are thrown upon a screen by means of bright lights and powerful lensos. The trial of tbo new machine was ma.do in a cold cdrne* of tbo big foundry at the works, and Mr. Edison, with Biciiard N. tiyos-, William J. Gilmour, manager of tho phonograph works Raff & .Gammeu of New York and few invited guests huddlod around a redhot stove and ga«ed at and admired the marvelous figures thrown upon the big white sorcen at.one end of the room.

Tho first picture shown was &' oolored. panorama of a serpentina dance byr-Asa* belle, who wont 6ut to "West pose one day last summer. The fifin rolr on which tho photographs were attfaObcdr was arranged over a half dozen spools and pulleys, and the machine was set iu motion.

Even the inventor himself was surprised at the result, although, with his usual oritical .eye, lie discovered flaws in: tho film which ho declared must be disposed of be-, fore tho vitascope would come up to his idea!.

Anabello danbed for flVe minutes, and then a panorama of tiie latest JiiUglish derby was thrown upon the screen.

The feature of the machine which astonished all who saw the views was theralmost entire absence of ^vibration in thepictures. as they appeared 011 the screen and whioh had been the hardost obstacle to surmount in perfecting tho apparatus* f»j&:

The original photographs' as' by the kinotoscopo and developed on tho film roll are about the sizo of a special delivery postago stamp, and to produce a life Bize. picture they are magnified, about 600 times. Of oourso oaoh vibration of the film or tho apparatus which rovolvcs it is magnifiod in like proportion, and every provious attempt to do away with this vibration had been unsuccessful.

Mr. Edison expects to be able soon to improve tho phonograph so he will bo able to take records double tho length of those whioh tho present cylinders will contain, and the vifcasoopo and phonograph will then be so combined that it will be possible for an audience to watch a photographic reproduction of a grand opera and hear the singers and see the acting with as much distinctness of sound and vision as if they were in the opera house.—New York Herald.

.TEN CATS IN AT: BOAT.

The Boat Aground When 'They Boarded It. What Happened When~lt Floated. "A man I know,^' salfd an old fisherman, 'went fishing once^n a 17 foot skiff, made a good cafCh, got b^Ck along about the middlo of thr£ rah his' boat up on tho end of -'a litilfe sand spit that 'made out may be 130 xtt Stt yards from 'the beach and went ashore. He was going to leave his ilsh in the -boatfojfernight. "It was pretty near low water when he came in, and tho spit wasefcry from the end all tho way to the beach. A cat that was tfalking'alopg the shore saw the boat out on the end of the spit aud went out to see what it could find aboard. Another cat walking along the shore and seeing that the first cat didn't come back went oat and joined it,-and in half an hour ten cats had gono aboard tho boat and staid there to eat fish. "The tide yose, tho sand spit was covered, and the boat swung tp an anchor that tho fishorman had thrown over when he came aahgro. The cats had been so busy that they hadn't notioed the rising of the tide. They didu't know anything about it until tho boat was afioat. Then one of them looked over the sido and 6aw that they were surrounded by water. The spit that they had walked out on was now under water to tho depth of a foot or two. jThis cat must have told the rest, because Sa minute later tlioy were all looking over the side ,of tho boat, standing with their hind foot on the bottom ranged along in a row and looking toward the shore, tho most forlorn ten cats you ever saw. Of 'course you don't laugh at anything in distress, but if you ever did you couldn't have-hclped laughing at those ten cats in a row. "Finally ono of them made a plunge overboard. Gats hate water, but it was mbre dreadful to stay out there in tho boat, with a great body of water all around them, than td take a risk in gotting ashore.

This cab got ashore all right, and more followed until eight had swum ashore. The other two wero afraid to try it. They staid on the boat. Th$y might have got off when the spit w® dry again at the next low wator, 8 or 4 o'clock in the morning, but they didn't. They staid on the boat, and the fisherman found them there whon ho went in tho morning. He hold them up, one in each hapd. "Hah!' he said. 'See What I caught!' 'Humph!' said I. 'You had eight or ten or0 last night.' "Bub he was a humane man. Ho didn't throw 'em overboard. He just kept them in tho boat until he'd brought the* boat ashore, and then the two last cats jumped out and scooted."—New York Sun.

THE PRINCE DF WALES.

a Ro-

A Story That He Was'fiaptized aa man Catholic. The Freeman's Journal of Sydney, New South Wales, has a correspondent who seems to know a groat many things not generally known. He confides to us the secret that the Prince of Walos was baptized a Catholic, asserting that he has the testimony of an eminent bishop that his statement is absolutely correct. It seems that when the time came for the baptism of Albert Edward two dignitaries of tho Church of England arranged todivido honors on the occasion, with the result that one poured the water while tho other read the form of baptism. This was the perfection of Protestant politeness, but all tho 6ttfp.Q ifc wps blunder which made thA baptism invalid.

After the corcmony the queen of the Belgians, who had been an observant witness, spoke to the queen privately and pointed out that the interesting infant had not been mado a Christian in the proper way. Victoria was much troubled and asked, "What can I do?" "Oh," said her Belgian majesty, "it is easy enough," adding: "I have horo in the palace a Belgian priest, my chaplain. Let me oall him in to baptize tho child properly, and no one will bo any the wiser." The young queen' of England, whose mother, by the way, was a Catholic, at once gavo her consent, and the -£atJ)olic baptism was performed with onlyJtwo witnesses. Apart from his baptism under "circumstances over which ho had noropntrol," the Prince of Walos has always gxfefjaited a most sympathetic foeling tpw#rd the Catholio church. He has beffcten^ed more than ono Catholic sisterhoodzin^England, was «an ardent admirer of Father Damien, and ho has on soveral occasions attended mass. Cardinal Manning had no warmer champion and supporter than the heir to the British throne, andj4.fr,will be recollected that on a meihoratijp.occasion he placed the oardinal on a gpyqlt commission next himself and before jthe,,premier and the Protestant bishop o|T London. There was a "big fuss" about it tho time, but the trouble blew over and has been forgotten. —Ave Maria.

Wagner Made His Living.

It is truo that in his early years Wagner's earnings were very small, but when ho had made a name for himself he was able to command very substantial sums. He sold the copyright—not tho performing right—of his "Parsifal" for about £9,000, which was perhaps the largest sum ever paid to a composer for a single opera, while for tho four dramas in "Der Ring des Nibeltingen" he was paid £2,000. From the Amorican ladies who wished ah orchestral march far a centenary celebration he obtained a little over £1,000 and it is oaloulated 't-hAt his regular income during the last years of his life was about £5,000 per annum. With all this Wagner was very often in difficulties, but he explained the matter himself when he said: "By nature I am luxurious, prodigal, extravagant, much more than Sardanapalus and all the old emperors put together."— Chambers' Journal..

How the Golf Is Filling Up. la the years to come the geographies will make no mention of the gulf of Mexico, but will ploture an immense tract of hoe land in its stead, the map being probably provided with a footnote something like this: "Note—There is a tradition that this level tract of fiwamp land was onoe a billowy sea several hundred milOs long, embracing all that country between Mexloo and Cuba on the west and east and Yuoatan and Louisiana on the south and north." This state of affairs is being gradually but surely brought about by the Mississippi and 6th# United States rivers, which annually deposit millions of tons of sediment in the #d,lfs bottom. Expert hydrographers docfiftre-'that the Mississippi alone annually depMits mud suffieient in the gulf to cover 'fcne square mile of its bottom to a thickness of 240 feet.—St. Louis Republic).
