The Various Employments In
Which They Are Found.
A New Yorker Makes Some yuer Dis
coveries In Joiinieylnff Towards the
faclUc Coast The Vicissi
tude of Fortune.
The men who are of interest in the
west, and of whom most curious stories
mitfht be told, are the eastern men
and the Englishmen who have soupht
it with capital, or who have been driven
there to make their fortunes. Some one
once started a somewhat unprofitable
inquiry as to what became of all the
lost pins. That is not nearly so curi
ous, according to a writer iu Harper's
Weekly, as what becomes of all the liv
ing men who drop suddenly out of our
acquaintanceship or our lives, and whe
are not missed, but wrho are neverthe
less lost. I know now what becomes of
them; they all go west. I met some
men here whom I was sure I had left in
New York, and who told me, on the
contrary, that they had been in the
west for the last two years. They had
once walked Fifth avenue, but they
dropped out of the procession one day
and no one missed them, and they are
out here enjoying varying fortunes.
The brakeman on a freight and passen
ger train in southern Texas was a
lower-class man whom I remembered
at Lehigh university only as an expert
fencer. The conductor on that train
was from the same college town. The
part owner of a ranch, whom I sup
posed I had left looking over papers in
the club, told me he had. not been in
New York for a year, and that his
partner was "Jerry" Black, who, as I
trust no one has forgotten, was one of
Princeton's half backs, and who
should have said, had anyone asked me,
was still in Pennsylvania.
Another man whom I remembered as
a "society" reporter on a New York
paper, turned up in a white apron a
waiter at a hotel m . 1 was some
what embarrassed at first as to whether
or not he would wish me to recognize
him, but he settled my doubts by wink
ing at me over his heavily-loaded tray,
as much as to say it was a very good
joke and that he hoped 1 was appreciat
ing it to its full value. We met later in
the street, and he asked me with the
most faithful interest of those whose
dances and dinners he had once
ported, deprecated a notable scandal
among the people of the four hundred,
which was filling the papers at that
time, and said I could hardly appreciate
the pity of such a thing occurring
among people of his set. Another man
whom I had known very well in New
York turned up in San Antonio with an
entirely new name, wife and fortune,
and verified the tradition which exists
there that it is best before one grows to
know a man too well to ask him what
was his name before he came to Texas.
San Antonio seemed particularly rich in
histories of those who came there to
change their fortunes and who had
changed them most completely. The
English gave the most conspicuous ex
amples of these unfortunates conspic
uous in the sense that their position at
home had been so good and their habits
of life so widely different.
RELICS OF A BY-GONE AGE.
The lied of u firertt Lake Found in a To
ledo 1-JxciivnUou.
The excavations for the foundation of
tile National 1'nion building on Huron
street near Adams, Toledo, bring to
light the relics of a by-gone age, and
furnish plenty of food for study and
contemplation on the part of the geolo
gist. To commence with, this is the
deepest foundation ever put under a
building in the city. The practice here
tofore has been to level the earth off
enough to make a good basement and
then drive piling for the foundation
stones to rest upon. In the case of the
National t'nion building it was deter
mined to have no pile foundation but tx:
dig down into the bowels of the earth
until terra firuia was found. William
Spear received the contract for putting
down the foundation and started a
large force of men at work a few days
ago on the excavation. When the
Bhovelers got down :.b.mt eighteen feet
below the level of the street, or about
nine feet below the Kurfuee of the nat
Uai earth, they slni'. k a vein of sand.

in to keep the win-l from rushing in.
After digging a few inches deeper it
was found that if. was a genuine, lake
of river sand and -ravel. As it was
thrown out and carefully examined, it
contained traces of en age of vegeta
tion, anterior to the daysnf the landing
of Columbus. I.:ii';.'e walnuts, butter,
nuts, hickory r.-.its. :.hel!s and impres
sions of water i peeiesof various kinds
were found in the s.uud, also trees aud

mat tue Ixxly of water was not a river,
for the sand is too deep and compact,
and resembles the bottom of the lake
where sand is taken from for building
purposes. Mr. Spear says that he lias
put in many foundations, but never
struck unythin;? like it before, it is
claimed that a similar vein was struck
several years ago while a sewer was
being built in the rear of St. Patrick's
institute, but the sewer diggers knew
nothing about geology ami did not give
the matter a moment's attention. Fol
lowing this location it would show that
all that portion of Toledo along Six
teenth street, extending to the river in
both directions, was at onetime the bed
of Lake Erie or some other equally
large body of water.
TO BRING THE MOON
NEARER,
a Gigantic
A French Savant Proposes
Crystal Mirror.
M. Francois Deloncle, a French
savant, and deputy for the Basses
Alpes, has a marvelous project in hand
which he hopes to see completed in
time to astonish mankind at the Paris
exhibition of 1900. Though the moon
is 240,000 miles distant from the earth,
says the London Daily Chronicle, M.
Dtiloncle thinks he can construct an ap
paratus which will enable us to ex
amine that luminary at very close
quarters.
The idea has been expounded by the
author before a French scientific
society, and M. Deloncle says, in sub
stance, that the only obstacle to a close
observation of celestial bodies is the
relative imperfection of instruments,
and that all that is required is an en
largement and improvement of present
instruments. Astronomers, says M.
Deloncle, have reckoned that the image
of the moon can be brought quite close
to the earth by means of a crystal
mirror eight meters in diameter, but
which, owing to the thickness required,
would weigh about eight tons. He has
consulted various opticians in Paris
amdthcy are prepared to execute the
work before the year 1000.
There remains, however, the ques
tion of the structure which would be
required to hold this gigantic mirror,
and upon this point M. W auriee Loewy,
a distinguished French astronomer,
says that while in principle M. Del
oncle's scheme is possible, there are
enormous difficulties in the way of
its realization, the chief of which,
far as the exhibition is concerned, is
that the apparatus must be erected on
a mountain about two miles in height
m order to secure the proper atmos
pheric conditions. If this and other
difficulties were surmounted, says M.
Loewj', there would be some very re
markable results, for it would be pos
sible to clearly distinguish in the moon
objects about the size of a four-story
house.
MURDEROUS INSANITY.
Illusions . of Tounj and Smell Which
l'rompt the Sifeerer to T.iko Life.
The incipient paranoiac may hear
voices about him and for a time be able
to convince himself of their unreality.
But sooneror laterthesc sounds become
so tangible that they have the full force
and import of actual voices. At first he
hears them only when people are actu
ally speaking, his mind merely misin
terpreting what he hears. This perver
sion is technically termed an illusion.
But at last he hears words and sentences
when no real sound comes to his ears,
Ihe North American Ueview says.
These are true hallucinations. Perver
sions of other senses usually precede or
follow this one. Illusions of touch and
smell arc common. The former lead to
a belief in invisible spirits that touch
the body, and the latter convince the
patient that attempts arc being made to
poison him with noxious gases. When
to this cluster of perverted sensations
hallucinations of sight arc added, the
galaxy is complete, and the victim
moves and has his being in an ideal
world peopled with odors, tastes, sounds,
and sights that are shut out from the
common herd. A patient who had
reached this stageoutlines his own feel
ings as follows: "I have gradually come
to a positive assurance that the thoughts
of my mind are shared by others, and
that they act from that knowledge with
a view of influencing me and directing
my actions; that the appearances of an
imate nature also correspond to my
thoughts in such a way as to check and
direct them; that ordinary speech and
language are so perverted as to have a
double meaning, the secondary sense
relating to my actions or thoughts. All
is so constituted as to form a distinct
and new and strange world in which,
however, most objects remain familiar."

CALIFORNIA'S QUEER CAVERN-
A Wonder of the Pacific (:.at Which Hal
Never llevA Explored.
On the north side of Table mountain
and near its top is an opening in the
lava that has since its early days been
known as "the lion's den." It was sc
named from the fact that for years it
was the lair of a band of ferocious Cal
ifornia lions that, when the country
was largely devoted to sheep raising, j
made mighty depredations upon the
ttocks and caused the owners much an-
noyauce and loss. VV hen pursued the
animals would seek refuge in this den
and no hunter would dare to enter it.
The ground about the entrance was
covered with the bones and remnants
of sheep and other animals. With the
increase of population the lions have
gradually disappeared, although as late
as last spring two of the animals were
seen to enter the cave. Oroville Mer
cury says no known niau has ever pen
etrated this cave to its fullest depth.
The mouth is about four or five fee
high and three feet wide and the open
ing descends with a sharp decline foi
about two hundred feet. Further than
this it has never been i-xplored. Now
however, a party of young men haw
made arrangements to explore it, and,
if possible, penetrate to its bottom.
That it is of great depth is certain, for
one can stand at the opening and heav
great stones down the declivity and the
sound will gradually die away in the
distance. T he 3'oung men have pro
cured several hundred feet of ropes,
torches and ladders and will thoroughly
explore the cavern.
What adds a peculiar interest to the
expedition and gives zest to the explor.
ers is the well-known fact that in the
heydey of his career as a bandit Joaquin
Murietta and his band of faithful fol
lowers made the recesses of Table
mountain the base of their operations
in this section. From there they would
swoop down on the miners, and then,
laden with gold dust, retreat to the
mountains. Search as they might, the
officers could not locate the m. It has
been supposed by many this same cave
was where the famous outla w secreted
himself. It may be, too, that deep
down in the bowels of the earth Joa
quin hid the greater portion of his ill-
gotten, but nevertheless just as potent,
wealth.

PRIZES ON PATENTS.
How to Get Twenty-five Hundred
Dollars for Nothing,
The Winner has a clear Gift of a Small
Fortune, and the Losers Have Patents
that may Bring them in Still More.
Would you like to make twenty-five hundred
dollars? If you would, read carefully what
follows and you may see a way to do It.
Tho Press Claims Company devotes much
attention to patents. It has handled thousands
of applications for inventions, but it would
like to handle thousands more. There Is plenty
of Inventive tallent at lare In this country
needing nothing hut encouragement to produce
practical results. That encouragement the Press
Ulanns company propose to give.
NOT MO IIAKU AS IT KEEITIN.
A patent strikes most people as an appalling
ly formidable thing. The idea is that an in
ventor must he a natural genius, like Edison or
Hell : that he must devote years to delving in
complicated mechanical problems and that he
mtiKt spend a fortune on delicate experiments
before he can get a new device to a patentable
degree of perfection. This delusion the com
pany dcHiros to dispel. It desires to get into
the head 01 the public a Clear comprehension
of the fact that it Is not the great, complex, and
expensive inventions that bring the lieMt returns
to their authors, nut me little, snnplu, and
cheap ones the thing that Heem so absurdly
trivial that the average citizen would feel
somewhat ashamed of l.rlnglug them to the
attention 01 the rntcnl oinco,
Edison savs that the i.rultts he has received
from tho patents 011 all his marvelous Inven
tions have not been sullicient to pay the cost
of his experiments, nut mo man wno con
ceived the idea of fastening a bit of rubber
cord to a chilli s bull, so that It would come
hack to the baud when thruwu, made a forbuue
out of his scheme. Ihe modern sewLug-lua
i-hlneisa miracle of ingenuity the product
of the toll of hundreds of buy brains through
a hundred and fifty years, but tho whole bril
liant result rests upon (he simple device of
putting the eye of the needle at the latlut In
stead of at the other cud.
The only Pure Cream of Tartar Powder. No Ammonia; No Alum.
Used in Millions of Homes 40 Years the Standard.,
THE I.ITTI.K TIIICiS THE IHOKT
VALUABLE.
Comparatively few people regard themselves
aa Inventors, but almost every body has been
struck, atone time or another, with ideas that
seem calculated to reduce some of the little
frictions of life. Usually such ideas are dis
missed without further thought.
"Why don't the railroad company make Us car
windows so that they can be slid up and down
without breaking the passengers' back?" ex
claims the traveler. "If I were running the
road I would make them in such a way."
"What was the man who made the saucepan
thinking of?" grumbles the cook. "He never
had to work over a stove, or he would have
known how it ought to have been fixed."
"Hang such a collar button!" growls a man
who is latelfor breakfast. "If I were in the
business I'd make buttons that wouldn't slip
out, or break off, or gouge out the back of my
neck
And the various sufferers forgot about their
grievances and began to think of something
else. If they would set down the next con
venient opportunity, put their ideas about car
windows, saucepans and collar buttons Into
practical shape, and then apply for patents
they might find themselves as independently
wealthy as the man who invented the iron
umbrella ring, or the one who patented
the fifteen puzzle.
A TEOIPTIBIGOI'FER.
To induce the people to keep track of their
bright ideas and see what there in them, the
Press Claims Company has resolved to offer a
prize.
To tbe person who submits to It
the simplest and most promising
invention, from a commercial
point of view, the company will
Kive twenty-five hundred dollars
in cash, in addition to refunding
the fees for securing; a patent.
It will also advertise the inven
tion free of charge.
This offer is subject to the following condi
tions: Every competitor must obtain a patent Uor
his invention through the company. He must
first apply for a preliminary search, the cost of
which will be live dollars. Should this
seach show his invention to he unpatentable,
he can withdraw without further expense.
Otherwise he will be expected to complete his
application and take out a patent In the regu
lar way. The total expense, including the
Government and Bureau fees, will be seventy
dollars. For this, whether he secures a prize
or not, the inventor will have a patent that
ought to be a valuable property to htm. The
prizo will be awarded by a jury consisting of
three reputable patent attorneys of Washing
ton. Intended competitors should fill out the
following blank, aud forward it with their
applicatisn:
" , , 1893.
"I submit the within described Invention la
competition for the Twenty-five hundred Dollar
Prize offered by the Press Claims Company."
NO BLANKS IN THIS CO.tlPliTlOJM.
This is a competition of rather an uausal na
ture. It is common to; offer prizes for the best
story, or picture, or architectural plan, all the
competitors risking the loss of their labor and
the successful one merely selling his for tho
amouu of the prize. But the PresB ClaimB
Company's offer is something entirely differ
ent. Each person Is asked merely to help him
self, and the one who helps him self to the
best advantage is to be rewarded by doing (it.
The prize is only a stimulus to do something
that would be well worth doing without it.
The architect whose competitive plan for a
club house on a certain corner is not occept
ed has spent his labor on something of very
ittle use to him. But the person who patents a
simple aud useful device in the Press Claims
Company's competition, need not worry if he
fail to secure a prizo. He has a substantial
result to show for his work one that wll
command its value iu the market at any
time.
The man who uses any article In his dally
work ought to know better how to improve it
than the mechanical expert who studies it
ouly from the theoretical point of view. Get
rid of the idea that au improvement can be too
simple to be worth patenting. The simpler the
better. The person who best succeeds is.
combining simplicity aud popularity, will get
tho Press Claims Compauy'B twenty-five hua
dred dollars.
The responsibility of this company may !
Judged from the fact that Its Btock Is held by
about three hundred of the leading newspapers
of the United States.
