PRIZES ON PATENTS.
How to Get Twenty-five Hundred
Dollars for Nothing.
The Winner hai a clear Cift of a Small
Fortune, and the Losers Have Patents
that may Bring them in Still More.
Would you like to make twenty-live hundred
ollars? If you would, read carerully what
ollows and you may see a way to do It.
The PreRS Claims Company devotes much
ittention to patents. It lias handled thousands
I applications for Inventions, but it would
Ike to handle thousands more. Tnere is plenty
f Inventive talleut at large in this country
leeding nothing but encouragemeut to produce
radical results. That encouragement the Press
'laims Company propose to give.
NUT SO HAKO AS IT SEEJIS.
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 he can get a new device to a patentable
degree of perfection. TMb delusion the com
pany desires to dispel. It desires to get into
the head of the public a eiear comprehension
of the fact that it is not the great, complex, and
expensive inventions that bring the best returns
to their uuthors, but the lit tie. simple, and
cheap ones the things that seem so absurdly
trivial that the average citizen would feel
somewhat ashamed of -bringing them to the
attention of the Patent Office.
Edison says that the profits he has received
trom the paleutB on all his marvelous luven
tions have not been sutllcient to pay tne cost
of his experiment But the man who cnu
ceived the idea of fastening a bit of rubber
cord to a child's ball, so that it would come
back to the hand when thrown, made a fortune
out of his scheme. The modern sewing-machine
is a miracle of Ingenuity the product
of the toil of hundreds of busy bruins through
a bundled and fifty years, but the whole bril
liant result rests upon (he simple device of
-putting the eye of the ueedle at the polut in
stead of at the other end.
THE LIITLETHISGS THE MOST
VALUABLE.
Comparatively few people regard themselves
as iuventors, 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 Ideas are dis
missed without further thought.
"Why don't the railroad company make its car
wiudows so tint 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 iu such a way."
"What was the man who made the saucepan
thiuking of?" grumblen 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 1" growls a man
who is late for breakfast. "If I were in the
busluess 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 aud begau 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, aud then apply for patents
they might flud themselves as independently
wealthy as the man who uiveuted the iron
umbrella ring, or the one who patented
the tiftecu puzzle.
A TEMPTING OKFI.lt.
To Induce the people to keeD track of their
bright ideas aud see what there iu them, the
Press Claims Company has resolved to oiler a
1 rize.
To the person who submits to it
I lie ftimplefct and lliotil romifeiiir

It will also advertise the inni

This offer Is subject to the following com!
tlons:
Every competitor (must obtain a patent f
his invention through the company. He nu
lirslapply for a preliminary search, the cost
which will be five dollars, rihould II
seach show his Invention to be unputenliili
he can withdraw without further expen
Otherwise he will be expected to complete I.
application and take out a patent in the rec
tor way. The total expense, including II
Government and Bureau fees, will be seven

or not, the inventor will have a patent tin
ought to be a valuable property to him. Th
prize will be awarded by a Jury consisting n
three reputable patent attorneys of Washlli.
ton. Intended competitors should fill out III
following blank, and forward it with the!
application:
" . , 1'J3.
I submit the within described Invention li
competition for the Twenty-live hundred Dolla-
Prize oii'ercd by the Press Claims Company."
MOItl.ANKS IN THIS COMPETIO
This is a competition of rather an unusiil mi
lure. It is common to offer prizes for the bes
story, or picture, or architectural plan, all tin
competitors risking tiie loss of their labor am
the successful one merely selling his for tin
amoun of the prize. But the Press Claim
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 bo well worth doing without it
The architect whose competitive plan fur
elub house on a certain comer is not occcpt
ed has spent his labor on something of very
ittie use to him. But Ihe person who patents n
simple and useful device In the Press Claim.
Company's competition, need not worry if in
fall to secure a prize. He has a substantia
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 dull-
work ought to-know better how to improve I'
than the mechanical expert who studies I'
only from the theoretical point of view. Oct

rid of the idea that an improvement can be too
simple to be worth patenting. The slmplertht
better. The person who best succee-ls U
combining simplicity and popularity, will ge'
the Press Claims Company's twenty-five hu

The responsibility of this company may h
Judged from the fact that its stock is held b

ABSGLUTEl PURE
VICTOEIA NYANZA.
Peculiarities of the Greatest Lake
on the African Continent
Remarkable Phenomena Witnessed in Mm
Egloo of ThU Noted Body of
Water Visited by Violent
Cyclone Storms.
' Ernest Gedge, who has spent consid
erable time on and around Victoria Ny
anza, has made some interesting ob
servations on the lake, which is the
largest in Africa, says the New York
Sun. Although it has been visited by a
number of explorers it is not very ac
curately mapped yet. Mr. Gedge says
the appearance of the lake suggests the
formation at some remote period of a
vast trough or valley. The shores on
the west side give striking indications
of that, especially in Karagwe, where
the cliffs are perpendicular, with deep
water close in shore. Nothing on the
eastern or southern shores suggests
volcanic action. On the northern shore
are outcrops of lava blocks.
The main visible sources of the water
supply are from three rivers, which, al
though discharging continually a cer
tain amountof water into the lake, areoJ
no great size except during the rainy
season, and they appear to be totally
inadequate to maintain the equilibrium
of the lake, when it is considered that a
large volume is carried off constantly
by the Nile, and that the loss through
evaporation from bo large an area must
be great. It is probable, therefore,
that the lake derives a great deal of
water from springs. The lake has
great depth in places. The water is
fresh and clear, although flat aud In
Bipid to the taste. Fish are numerous
and are caught mostly with rod and
line. Hippopotami are not very numer
ous, as they confine themselves gen
erally to the coast and rivers. Those
that are found in the lake are extreme
ly vicious, and are much feared by the
canoemen along the northern shores,
who, strange to say, are unable to
swim. That is, no doubt, due largely
to the fact that the lake is infected with
alligators, and Jt is dangerous for any
one to enter its waters.
Cyclone storms of great violence oc
cur at certain seasons, and are danger
ous to small craft. The storms occur
usually at daybreak. They are accom
panied by much thunder and lightning.
Following the coast line for a time they
sweep across the lake, raising a tremen
dous sea, and on several of Mr. Gedge's
journeys his party was in great danger
of swamping. .
One of the most remarkable phenom
ena he witnessed was the apparent tide
that is observed at irregular intervals,
the waves opening in and overflowing
the beach in exactly the same way as
tho tide on the seashore, the rise and
fall lasting from a half hour to an
hour or more. This has occurred
during a comparative calm, while at
other times, although a strong gale was
setting on shore, Gedge did not notice
any difference In the lake's level. He
therefore thinks that the phenomenon
is not attributable entirely to the wind
backing up the water.
Another curious feature is the peri
odical rise and fall which, according to
the natives, takes place every twenty
five years, and is indicated by the water
marks on the stones. At tho time of
his visit the lake was between eight and
nine feet below low-water mark, and
the people said that certain lands under
cultivation then would be flooded again
in due season, and that the peninsula
on which his camp was pitched would
become an island. Similar changes of
level have been noticed in Lake
Tanganyika and Lake Nyassa, and it is
very desirable that continuous observa
tions should be made in order to define
the real character of the changes.
WHY WOMAN HIDES HER AGE.
Nobody llaa lleeii Nlinrp Enough to DU
cover l.'ntll Now.
"I'll tell you why it is we women hide
our ages," said one of the sex to a New
York World man the other day.
"Ninety-nine out of every hundred
women regard marriage as their one
end in life. Now it's a curious fact, but
true nevertheless, that a man as a rule
wants a young wife. Whatever hisown
age, his wife must be young and at
tractive and all that. Besides, if a
woman is married when she is getting
on in life, it's only thrown in her face.
People say unkind things about her.
She is charged with a desire to m arry
any one, or some may say that she has
set her cap for the man she married be
cause she feared to be an old maid.
"Women, too, are at their best at
thirty. Men don't think so, however,
and so they are obliged to keep their
ages down to the limit set by their mas
ters. "These two reasons a desire to com
ply with the men's arbitrary standard
nd a fear lest their own sex may say
spiteful things if they marry when no
longer in their teens have led women
Into the habit of falsifying their ages.
"Secondary reasons spring up from
these two. The younger girls of a fam
ily are often obliged to keep their ages
down in order that their older sisters'
matrimonial chances may not be spoiled.
Sometimes an ambitious mother keeps
all her children's ages down in order
that she herself may not appear too old.
"But as a rule, once married, a wom
an's age progresses as nature Intended
it should and she has a birthday evury

EXTRAVAGANCE OF THE SUN.
The Heat of tho Great Luminary Being
Expended at n Tremendous Rate.
It goes without savinrr that the wel
fare of the human race is necessarily
connected with the ooniinuance of the
sun's beneficent aetion. It becomes,
therefore, of the utmost interest to in
quircwhether tl :e "tin's heafcan be calcu
lated on indefinitely. Here is indeed a
subject which is literally of the most
vital importance so far as organic life
is concerned. If the sun ever ceases to
shine then must it he certain that there
is a terra beyond which human exist
ence, or, indeed, organic existence of
any type whatever, cannot any longer
endure on the earth. We may say once
more for all that the sun contains just
a certain number of units of heat,
actual or potential, and that he is at
the present moment shedding that heat
around with the most appalling extrav
agance. No doubt the heat hoard of
the sun is so tremendous that the con
sequences of his mighty profusion do
not. become speedily apparent. They
are indeed, it must be admitted, hardly
to be discerned within a few brief cen
turies that the sun has been submitted
to human observation.
But, a writer in the Fortnightly Re
view says, we have grounds for know
ing as a certainty that the sun cannot
escape from the destiny that sooner or
later overtakes the spendthrift. In his
interesting study of this subject Prof.
Langley gives a striking illustration of
the rate at which the solar heat is be
ing squandered at this moment. He re
marks that the great coal fields of
Pennsylvania contain enough of the
precious mineral to supply the wants of
the United Slates for a thousand years.
If all that tremendous accumulation of
fuel were to be extracted aud burned in
one vast conflagration the total quan
tity of heat that would be produced
would no doubt be stupendous, and yet.
Bays this authority, who has taught us
o muen aooui tne sun, all the heat de
veloped by that terrific coal' fire would
not be equal to that which the sun
pours forth in the thousandth part of
each single second. When we reflect
that this expenditure of heat has been
going on not alone for the centuries
during which the earth has been the
abode of man, but also for those period
which we cannot estimate, except by
saying that they arc doubtless millions
of years during which there has been
life on the globe, then Indeed we begin
to comprehend how vast must have been
the capital heat with which the sun
started on its career.
The Last Shot.
Among the stories of nerr Forcken
beck, the late chief burgomaster of
Berlin, which are being revived, Is this:
As president of the North German
reichstag, he was sent in 1871, with Von
Stauffenberg, to Versailles, to congrat
ulate the Prussian king upon his elec
tion as emperor. Bismarck, who had
just concluded the terms of peace with
France, invited them to supper; and at
that repast the kaiser's chief counselor
said: "This night, at twelve o'clock,
the last shots will be exchanged be
tween our troops and the French, and
I have conceded to the French the honor
of the last shot." Forckenbeck and his
colleague left their host before mid
night, drew out their watches, stood
underneath a lantern of tho Hotel du
Reservoir and waited. First there was
a cannon shot from the German troops;
then a solemn stillness. Then followed
the last reply from Mont Valerien. Th
tower clock at Versailles struck twelve
the French war had ended.

Queen Natalie, the Beautiful, of Ser

written a play entitled "Mother." No
doubt she gives utterance in it to hei
own motherly sufferings and anguish
when forced to separate from her son,
the boy king of Servia. A Parisian
theater is said to have bought the piece
and will produce it. Whether it be
good or bad as a work of art, the per
son and the misfortunes of the authoress
have attracted so much attention and
supplied the world with so many sensa

demand for the revelations expected to
be given by tho pen of the queen, which
will insure to the enterprising theater
full houses and a profitable business.
