phoz}e history that the first telenhoop".waii
conetxucted be Racine, Win, and .Ghat the
inventor, Dr; S. D. Cushman, is now a
residue; ot.Chloago.
His litigation with the Bell Telephone
Coe extending over a parted et Len • vette
and oo044 $100,080, has been reported
from a legal standpoint, but as it is ono of
Mr. Cushman's principles that personal
remise:;eenoed aro in bad taste, he has sel-
dom given a formal interview. His offices
are<in the Stook Exchange building. Here
the venerable inventor, 77 years of age,
who built the first telegraph lines in his
part of the "far West" pursues his business
with more alertness to' affairs than the
average young man.
In the corner of the room is a large.
worn piece of muslin on which is painted
in thin color a' representation of a tele-
graph line stretching away in the distance,
convected with a crude instrument5set on
two logs near which a frog is sitting by
a stream. This old relic represents the
telegraph line of"good cedar posts" which
Dr. Cushman constructed west from Ra-
cine for the 'into & Michigan telegra h
company in 1851, and the experimental
lightning arrester which led te his diseuv-
ery. '
It is a reminder of the days when Dr.
Cn'':rnan was associated with Plut.Marse
in Jeno pioneer days of telegraph., n his
desk is the Brat t lepheno trap -i titter,
constructed in 1851, twenty-five years be-
fore the )fell patents were taken out. it is
a small square box with a speakingort'lce
and co..taining mechanism on the sauna
principle as that of the modern transmit-
ter.
In 1851 Dr. Cushman undurtyok thecon-
structton of a lightning arrester, in ob-
ject being to take thelightning that struck
the wire and run it into the ground,
the' instrumen t being so conritrected t hat it
would not interfere with the light current
used in telegraphing. This instrument
was placed out un thc'prairio on two lugs
sand in order to knew when it had operat-
ed a triple magnet with a sheet of thin
iron at the poles, similar in construction
to a modern "receiver," was plated in the
corner of the box In ease the lightning
passed through the instrument thet•leotru-
n,agnot would pull this strip of iron down
into the tonne of a permanent magnet,
which woulel retain it until the instru-
ment was inepeeted.
.A. similar device was placer) in shy base•
nient of the betiding HI It trine and e ,n
neeted with the other end of the line. 1bit

and I)r. Cushman e s wet ehi1.g the in-
etrument,the croaking of frogs NVitt heard,
thirtyen miles awvr,y. This is the exnLutn-
tion of how the old painting with the
crude instrument and the croaking frog is
identified with the discovery of the tele-
phone,
Dr. Cushman is the inventor of the fire -
alarm system in Chicago. His patent
office reports, the says, "would weigh a
ton" and contain a great number of his
electrical patents. To the priority of Dr.
Cushman there is said to be nu doubt, and
the contest of the validity of the Bell
patents begin in 1885 was at last silken to
the Unit d States District Court of Bos-
ton in 1893, where it is now pending.
Dr. Cushman is a descendant of the his-
torical Cushmans who came to Virginia in
1640. He was a friend of Herat* Greeley
and most of his prominent contemporaries
in what might be called the era of rapid
mechanical development. In entry life he
was a newspaper reporter. Some twenty
years of his life was spent In central Obio,
and he says: "I never doubted that God
made that country."

The Ferris Wheel Again.
Unless sono unforeseen diffleultles upset
present calculations the deep rumble of the
great Ferris wheel, which helped make up
the conglomeration of noise along the
Midway during the World's Fair days,
will soon be heard again in the neighbor-
hood of Wrlghtwood Avenue and North
Clark street, where the wheel is being
moved for a five-yoars' sojourn among
Nroth-Siders. The exact location o: the
ponderous machinery is the large vacant
lot almost opposite the Amita' station of
the North Clark -street cable lint, and the
immediate vicinity now presents about
the same appoaranee that the Ferris wheel
site on the Midway did two years ago.
Gr t tt sections of the steel construotlon lit-
ter the let where the whex•l will stand, and
already the massive supports are pushing
their way skywards, encircled and sup-
ported by perplexing m•assos of false
works as scaffoldings. Nothing is yet to
bit seen of the wheel .twit, but the con-
tractors expect it will be In place and
ready to revolve ,in August 15th, the time
now set for the opening.
The work of transplanting the great
wheel to the North Side began early 111
Apt'il, when the soil was broken for the
foundations. Great difficulty wee experi-
enced in finding sufficiently stable ground,
hut after going down 22 feet through
sand, water, quicksand, and clay a firm
baso was reached and the oonorete tonnda-
tlons for the iron -work laid.
Nest the heavy work, such as patting
Into place the machinery and erecting the
portals upon which the supports and the
shafts will rest, was accomplished, and
now all that remains to be done is to set
up the eupporte and the wheel itself which
will be a comparatively easy task. The
false•work on nee side is already up 114
flet, and it is eapei tel that this part of
the work will be linlshed by the end of
the week. One hundred men are emplw-
ed steadily, and as many moven are engag-
ed in mwlag the great wheel across the
city.
The removal of the P'erris wheel from
its storage place near Its old location to
the North tide, in itself, is a rt•markahle
undertaking when it is remember, d that
the machinery weight+ 5,000 tons or 4,000, -
000, 4dunda, ttmt the dietanppee which it Is
being'carried exceeds 18 mileA,aud that,
with two exceptions, the eeetions have
been moved by horses and trucks, 80
teams having -been kept ih nee almost
constantly. The excepitons ase the shaft
and the engines, which were carried across
the city by railroad on Pennsylvania Cen-
tral armor -plate oars made express,y for
carrying such kinds of freight. Tempor-
ary tracks have been tram the rail-
road intersection along Wrlghtwood
Avenue, and the great sheet Is now being
slowly drawn by horses to ice destination.
The wheel originally Dost about $400,000,
although it could be built again for some
thing loss than that sum. The expense of
moving it and setting it up again in its
new location will he not far from 680,000.

The Little Oirl Escaped, but $o Was Bah
tered Tuto a State of Reckless Ruin.
The wheelman who was soorohing
through Washington Park rounded one of
the eurvge NIA as a little girl about 4
years old started to run across the road in
front of him. He set his teeth, turned his
bicycle sharply to the left, and flew out of
the saddle in one direction, while the ma-
chine went tumbling In another,the little
girl escaping by a hair's breadth.
"You careless brute!" exclaimed e
sharp -voiced matron, who name running
up. "You monkey on two wheels! What
do you mean by racing about the park in
this dare -devil kind of away? Haven't
you got any consideration for other folks?
Ilon't you know you're always liable to
run over somebody: Do you want to snare
people to death? Some people haven't got
the sense they were born with. If I had
my way about it, I'd stop this business
mighty quick. You might have killed
my child."
"Yes, ma'am," replied the young man
who had gathered himself up and was
making an inventory of bis damages.
"But I didn't. She got off without a
soratoh, wthlo I've got a skinned elbow, a
bruised knee, a sprained ankle, and a
lame shoulder. There's a piece of skin as
big as a half -dollar gone from the palm of
my hand, my hair is full of dirt, I've
ruined a suit of clothes, and it will cost
me $15 to have the machine mended. If
I'm not kicking ma'am, I don't think
you ought to kick."
He picked up his broken bicycle, put it
over his shoulder, and limped slowly
away in the direction of the nearest repair
shop. -
$7,500 FOR A SET OF TEETH.
A Prisoner in an English Prison Paid
the Price.
A well-known firm of bankers in Lon-
don have just made a profitable invest-
ment. Some time ago a man who had
defrauded them of a large sum of money
was taken into oustody,convicted and sen-
tenced to a long torn of penal servitude.
As may bo imagined, the prison fare did
not agree with the man who had by means
of fraud lived on the fat of the land. The
change affected him in many ways but he
complained more particularly of the effect
the food had upon his tenth. They were
not numerous or in good condition when
he was sentenced, and as they rapidly be-
came worse he applied to the governor of
the prison for a mw set. Ho was told that
the government did not supply prisoners
with artificial teeth, and at the first oppor-
tunity he wrote to the banking firm In
question offering, if they would send him
a new set, to give them some valuable in-
formation. Thereupon, tbo bankers, think-
ing the offer might bo a genuine ono sent
governor of the prison a check for £5, and
asked him to provide the convict with a
wt of artificial teeth. Li due course the
the convict kept his prontige. and sent the
bankers eertatn information, by means of
which they were enabled to recover no
less than £1,500 of wbieh they had been
defrauded. They naturally r,gamest this
its tlfo`best tnvettinent over nnidt4, • bat it
proved better than pantile 11 td. for they
