f All the superficial parts of the west

area next the coast of America, are per
vaded by a slow movement which setf
the water toward the poles, says Prof.
N. S. Shaler in Scribner's. This current
is due to the Gulf stream, which, emerg
ing from the tropics as a deep, narrow,
swift moving tide, skirts the southern
coast of the United Statos, grad uallj

does. If Newfoundland and Nova
Scotia should disappear, so that there
could be a nearly straight shore from
Greenland to Massachusetts bay, it is
likely that these floes would in large
quantities attain to the coast of New
England, and give to the shore lands of
that part of the continent the subarctic
and inhospitable climate of the islands
of the eastern St. Lawrence. This
shore-current bears few true icebergs
with the floe-ice, for the reason that
these greater ice-islands are formed to

PRIZES ON PATENTS.
How to Get Twenty-five Hundred
Dollars for Nothing.
The Winner has a clear Cift of a Smal
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 carefullv what
follows and you may see a way to do it.
Ihe 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 large In this country
needing nothing but encouragement to produce
practical results. That encouragement the Press
Claims Company propose to give.
NOT SO IIAIIU AS I rsi:i:viN.
A patent strikes most people as an appalling
ly formidable thing. The idea Is that an In
ventor must be a natural genius, like Edison or
Bell; that he must devote years to delving In
complicated mechanical problems and that he
must spend a fortune on delicate experiments
before lie cun get a new device to a patentable
degree of perfection. This delusion the com
pany desires to dispel. It desires to get into
the head of the public a clear comprehension
of the fact that if Is not the great, complex, and
expensive In venliuus that bring the best returns
to their authors, but the little, simple, and
cheap ones the things that seem so absurdly
trivial that the average citizen would feci
somewhat ashamed of bringing them to the
atli-nllon of the Patent Otlicc.
Edison says that the profits he has received
li-oni the patents on all his marvelous Inven
tions have not been nillicient lo pay the cost
of his experiments, lint the mull who con
ceived the idea of fastening a bit of rubber
cord to a child's bull, so that It would come
back to the band when thrown, made a fortune
out of his scheme. The modem sewing-machine
is a miracle of ingenuity the product
of the toll ot hundreds of busv brains through
a handled anil lifty years, but the whole bril
liant result rests upon Hie simple device of
putting the eye of the needle at tlm uilm i.
stead of at the oilier end.

THE LITTLE THI.WS THE
MONT
VAMAHLE.
Comparatively few people regard themselves
as inventors, but almost every body has been
struck, at one time or another, with ideas that
seem calculated to reduce some of the little
frictions of life. Usually such ideal are di.
missed without further thought.
"Why don't the railroad company make its ca r
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. "Ha never
had to work over a stove, or he would have
known how Bought to have been fixed."
"Bang such a collar button!" growls a man
who is late;for .breakfast. "If I were in the
business I'd make buttons that wouldn't slip
out, or break oil', 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 nn r.,.
venlent opportunity, put their ideas about car
windows, saucepans and collar buttons Into
practical shape, and then apply for patents,
they might find themselves as iodependently
wealthy as the man who invented the iron
umbrella ring, or the one who nuient.H
the fifteen puzzle.
A TEMPTING Ot'FEK.
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
irlze.
To Ihe person who submits to it
the simplest and most promising;
invention, from a commercial
point of view, the company will
g-ive (went) -live hundred dollars
iu cash, in addition lo refunding;
the fees for securing; a patent.
It will also advertise Ihe inveu.
tion free of charg-e.
This offer Is subject to the following condi
tions: Every competitor must obtain a patent '.for
his Invention through.the company. He must
flrstapply for a preliminary search, the cost of
which will be fivo dollars. Should this
seach show his invention to be 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 him. The
prize will be awarded by a jury consisting of
three reputable patent attorneys of Washihg
ton. Intended competitors should fill out the
following blank, and forward It with their
applicatien:
"I submit the within described Invention In
competition for the Twenty-five hundred Dollar
Prize offered by the Press CI? ' 'pany."
NO BLANKS IN THIS COMPETIOM.
This is a competition of rather an unusal 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 bis for the
amoun of the prize. But the Press Claims
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 houso on a certain comer is not occept
cd has spent his labor on something of very
ittle use to him. But the person who patents a
simple and useful device in the Press Claims
Company's competition, need not worry If be
fall to secure a prize. He has a substantial
result to show for his work one that wil
command Its value In the market at any
time.
The man who uses any article in his daily
work ought to know bettor how to improve it
than the mechanical expert who studies it
only from the theoretical point of view. Get
rid of the idea that an improvement can be too
simple to be worth patenting. The slmplerlhe
better. The person who best succeeds la
combining simplicity and popularity, will gat
the Press Claims Company's twenty-five hun
dred dollars.
The responsibility of this company may be
Judged from the fact that Its stock Is held by
about three hundred of the leading newspaperi
of the United States.
