The Latest Terror. '-
If Thomas A. Edison finishes, as be ex-
peels to, his latest inventibn, then life
will be less worth living than ever. ‘ The
device is nothing less than, a machine
which can take 46 photographs in a sec
ond. Forty-six times 11 second is about
as rapidly as any living thing can change
its muscular movement's, so that the new
machine will make a succession of pic-
tures of a man as fast as he can make
motions, whether ualking or trying to
catch a train that just glides if as he,
comes within 25 feet of it, nting and
pnflng. What is more, the demoniacal
new Edison machine will have a phono-
graph Attachment. --This will register
the words the man who iii left will pour
forth in a torrent on the air as he sees
the‘train disappear. It will mercilessly
record every wheeze of his scant breath
as it gurgles forth from his surcharged
breast. *

itating scene, naughty wouds' and all.

Forty-six photographs 11 second will
reproduce as many motions as the eye
can follow. These photographs, being
set in motion one after the other by a
well understood mechanical arrange-
ment and focused on exactly the some
level, will produce the effect of a con-
tinuous panorama. The phonograph ac-
companying the moving scene will en-
able science to reproduce perfectly and
preserve a whole theatrical play, opera
or dinner party. That is Edison‘s idea.
Japan‘s New Constitution.
In epite'of the glowing hopes based on
its adoption. all is not lowly by any
means under Japan's new constitution.
That country is having something like
the same kind of troublens now disturbs
England. Already since the adoption of
the new constitution the Japanese par-
liament has been twice dissolved by the
emperor. Like the house of commons.
the lower house of the Japanese pnrliu~
mt insists that its will is the will of
the people. The Japanese commons 11n-
dertakee to rule the whole empire. The
emperor gave the people a constitution
voluntarily. it was not forced-from
hill. as most constitutions have been
frtm rulers. in that «imminent the pow-
on of the lower house were distinctly
. setfortb.
During the past winter the lower house
found the emperor's cabinet «listnsteful
to it for some reason. it therefore at-
tacked that body and made limiters very
warm for the member», with the inten-
tion of forcing them to resign. The in—
tention was to have the replaced byan
imperial advisory courier,I lmore subservi-
ent to the commons.
The emperor, however, frustrated this
amiable intention pt » once by using the
powers conform-don 111111.113» the new con-
stitution and summarily dissolving par-
liament. Legislation lastopped until a
,newpariiament can be elected. It would

The Price Attracts.
The great desire of the purchasing
public is to get an article 5 little
below the ruling rates. Even if the dif~
ference amounts to but a penny or two
the establishment which offers that ad-
vantage will be busy, while houses ask-
ing the penny or two more will be idle.
Remember this principle in stating prices
for your “ads." If what you have to
offer is quoted at ta figure a little below
its usual price you’ll find no difficulty in
disposing of it.-—l‘hlladelphis Item.
