PRIZES ON PATENTS.
How to Get Twenty-five Hundred
Dollars for Nothing.
The Winner has a clear Cift of a Small
Fortune, and the Losers Have Patents
that may Bring them in Still More.
Would yoa like to make twenty-five hundred
dollars? If you would, read carefully what
follows and you may see a way to do it.
The Press Claims Company devotes much
attention to patents. It has haudled thousands
of applications for inventions, but it would
like to handle thousands more. There is plenty
of Inventive lallent at large In this country
needing nothing but encouragement to produce
practical results. That encouragement the Press
Claims Company propose to give.
NOT SO ll lltll AS i rsKEJIS,
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 a'ld that he
must spend a fortune on delicate exi-eriments
before he can 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 it is not the great, complex, and
expensive inventions that bring the best returns
to their authors, but the Utile, 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 OHice.
Edison says that the profits he has received
Irom the patents on all his marvelous Inven
tions have not been sufficient to pay me cost
fills experiments. But the mau who con
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
a bundled and fifty years, but the whole bril
liant result rests upon the simple device of
putting the eye of the needle at the point in
stead of at the other end.
of the toil of hundreds of busy brains through
THE LrrTLIlTHISGs T 11 E MONT
VAI.IIAIII.H,
Comparatively few people regard themselves
as 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 its car
windows so thdt they can be slid up and down
with jut 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 buttonl" growls aman
who is late for 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 Fighting: Mole. .
' A writer in the "Zool ogist" gives ua
a new idea of the characteristics of the
mole:
People ordinarily look upon the mole
as a sluggish and harmless creature,
spending its life in groping blindly
under ground. As usual, the popular
idea is a mistaken one. The mole is in
reality the most ferocious and most
active of animals. Imagine it magni
fied to the size of a tiger and you would
have a more terrible beast than the
world has yet seen. Though with de
fective powers of vision and therefore
incapable of following its prey by sight,
it would be agile beyond conception,
springing this way and that as it went
along, leaping with lightning quickness
upon any creature which it met, rend
ing it to pieces in a moment, devouring
the yet warm and bleeding ilesh and in
stantly seeking with hunger insatiable
for a fresh victim.
Fljrmy Camels of 1'ersla.
The western part of Persia is inhab
ited by a species of camel which is tho
pigmy of its race. Typical specimens of
this creature arc almost a pure white in
color, and arc, on that account, wor
shiped by some tribes of the natives.

Some of the Features of the Society Af.

To the thoughtful observer who finds
himself one of many impatiently ex
pectant of the bride's appearance
through the church door the ceremony,
which of all others should bo the most
impressive, loses much of its solemnity.
The feeling that prompts the earliest
possible arrival on the scene in order to
secure an advantageous position forsee
ing and hearing, and if late the crowd
ing into the overfilled edifice on tiptoe
to catch a glimpse of the heads of the
wedding party, can only bo one of sheer
curiosity. What, asks the Kan Francisco
Newb Letter, is the motive which causes
the girl about to face tlie most serious
problem of her life to make a public

herself as a target for comment and
often ridicule. Only a few of the cu
rious throng are so filled with friendly
interest in the participants of the cere
monial that they are oblivious to the
bride's expression or of the tone of the
groom's responses. A marriage should,
by virtue of all it signifies, be consid
ered as something apart from other

the sending of a wedding gift is con

bridal couple are permitted to send
gifts a custom worthy of imitation.
Of course, to the young couple whose
new home depends largely for its orna

highly prized, and, as a rule, are sent
by those whose kindly interest in tho
young people leads them to select such
articles as will be just the thing

no deprivation of any desired article,
the miscellaneous collection gathered

not some independent spirit take the
initiative, and when she iinnounccK to

only the presence of her friends, and
nothing more tangible?
HOW WE GET OURTEETH.
An Kminent Dentist Makes Some Inter
esting Statements.
It would take too long to describe the
formation of the teeth, but it may In
terest you to know that the enamel is
derived in the first place from the
epithelium, or scarf skin, and is, in
fact, modified skin, while the dentine,
of which the bulk of the tooth is com
posed, is derived from the mucous layer
below tho epithelium. Lime salts are
slowly deposited, and the tooth pulp,
or "nerve," is the last remains of what photographs. Kemcmber, ladies and
was once a pulpy mass of the shape of gentlemen, whenever you see the bar
the future tooth, ami even the tooth I mter rising, that an additional charge
pulp in the old people sometimes gets
quite obliterated by the calcareous de
posits. The thirty-two permanent
teeth, says the Philadelphia Times, are
preceded by twenty temporary decidu
ous or milk teeth. These are all fully
erupted tit about two to two and a half
years old, and at ubout six years of age
a wonderful process of absorption sets
in, by which tlie roots of the temporary
teeth are removetl to make room for the
advancing permanent ones. The crowns
of tho former, having no support, be
come loose and fall away. One would
naturally suppose that tho advancing
permanent tooth was a powerful factor
in the absorption of its temporary pre
decessor, but we have many facts to
prove it has no influence whatever; in
deed, the interesting phenomena of tho
eruption and succession of teeth aro
yery little understood. I may remark
in passing that a child of six who
has not yet lost any temporary teeth
has in its jaws, either erupted or non
erupted, no less than fifty-two teeth
more or less formed.

PORTRAYED IN LARD.
Basts of Famous Personages from tha
Chisel of the Center Market Sculptor.
The sculptors in Greece are cele
brated, but a "sculptor in grease" is
Jomething of a novelty in the art
world. Nevertheless, Washington pos
sesses such a phenomenal artist, who
finds scope for the exhibition oi his
genius, not in classic marble or plastic
clay, says the Washington Post, but
models bas-reliefs in lard and busts in
butterine. His name is B. C. Ford, and
his studio is at the west of Center
market.
The way Mr. Ford entered upon his
artistic career was entirely by accident,
tt is his custom to pile fifty or sixty
pounds of lard upon his counter, and
one day he carelessly picked up a knife
and carved a bas-relief portrait in the
side. It was merely an ideal head,
drawn at random, but possessed such
merit as to attract considerable atten
tion and custom from the marketers.
Senator Manderson, who happened
along, was particularly struck with
the portrait, which he declared to be a
remarkable likeness of Sir Walter
Raleiirh
, Since then Mr. Ford has continued
j big experiments, and developed con-
siuerable skill in manipulating bis
novel material for modeling". His tools
are ordinary carving knives, with which
he chisels out in rough some ideal face.
The features are afterward molded
and smoothed by the fingers, the
warmth of which renders the lard
plastic. When this has been done to
the artist's satisfaction he dins his
fingers in ice-water, which chills and
fixes the features, at the same time im-

Among the subjects he has treated, in
addition to a number of ideal heads, are
portrait busts of Walt Whitman, Mrs.
Morrell and Sitting Bull, the latter of
which, being artistically decorated with
turkey-feather plumes, attracted great
attention. Indeed, a crowd alwavs sur

THE ACTION OF DUST.
Bow It fa Forced Into Houses When the
Weather Indicator Rises.
When the air around us becomes con
densed shrinks into a smaller volume
it becomes heavier, puts greater ores-
sure on tne surface of the mercury and
makes it ascend in the tube; then the
mercury is said to rise. When the air
expands swells into a larger volume
it becomes lighter, the pressure on the
mercury sinks in the tube and the bar
ometer is said to fall. Therefore, every
change of height of the quicksilver
which we observe is a sign and measure
of a change in the volume of air around
ns. Further, adds the Popular Science
Monthly, this change in volume tells no
less upon the air inside our cases and
cupboards. When the barometer falla
the air around it expands into a larger
volume, and the air inside the cupboard
also expands and forces itself out at
every minute crevice. When the bar
ometer rises again the air inside the
cupboard, as well as outside, condenses
and shrinks, and air is forced back into
the cupboard to equalize the pressure,
and, along with the air, in goes the dust
The smaller the crevice the stronger the
jet of air, the farther goes the dirt.
Witness the dirt tracks so often seen in
imperfectly framed engravings and
of dust ls entering your cupboards and
drawers.
WHAT WE INHERIT. ,
The Ulfts of Our Ancestors Are Store
Than Wealth and Name.
I dwell upon the past because the
present is its natural legacy. When
you read of the efforts now being made
to raise the living, or at least to pre
vent them from sinking any lower, re
member that they are what the dead
made them, says Walter Besant in
Scribner. Wo inherit more than the
wealth of our ancestors; we inherit the
consequences of their misdeeds. It is a
most expensive tiling to suffer the peo
ple to drop and sink; it is a burden
which we lay upon posterity if we do
not continually spend and be spent in
lifting them up. Why, we have been
the best part of two thousand years in
recovering the civilization which fell to
pieces when tho Roman empire de
cayed. We have not been fifty years in
dragging up the very poor whom we
neglected and left to themselves, the
gallows, the cat, and the press gang
