PRIZES ON PATENTS.
How to Get Twenty-five Hundred
Dollars for Nothing.
The Winner hat 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 Bee a way to do it.
The Press Claims Company devotes much
attention to patents. It has handled thousands
of applications for Inventions, but it would
like to handle thousands more. Tnere is plenty
of Inventive tallent at large In thli country
needing nothing but encouragement to produce
practical results. That encouragemeutthe Press
Claims Company propose to give.
NOT SO HAKD AS IT SEEMS.
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 aid that he
must spend a fortune on delicate eii'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 ciear comprehension
of the fact that It Is not the great, complex, and
expensive iuventious.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 feel
somewhat ashamed of bringlug them to the
attention of the Patent Office.
Edison says that the profits he has received

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 stwlng-ina-
chine Is a miracle of iiigenulty-the product
hundred and fifty jears, 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. v

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 withoutfurther thought.
"Why don't the railroad company make its car
windows bo that they can be slid up and down
wlthDUt 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 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 sutterers 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 aud collar buttons Into
practical shape, aud 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

A TEMPTING OFFI.U.
To induce the people to keeu track of their
bright Ideas and see what there in them, the
Press Claims Company has resolved to otter a
irize.
To lite person who submits to it
I lie simplest and moat promising
invention, from a commercial
point of view, the company will
give twenty-five hundred dollar
in cash, in addition to relundinic
the Ices 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 obtaiu a patent for
his invention through the company. lie must
(irstapply for a preliminary search, the cost of
which will be five dollars. Should this
seach show his Invention to be unpatentable,
he can withdraw without further expense.
Otherwise he will he expected to complete his
application and take out a patent in the regu
lar way. The total expense, Including the
(iovernment 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
application:
" , , 1893.
"I submit the within described invention in
competition for the Twenty-five hundred Dollar
Prize offered by the Press Claims Company."
30 BLANKS IN THIS COMPETION.
This is a competitiou of rather an uuusal na
ture. It is common to oiler prizes for the best
story, or picture, or architectural plan, all the
competitors risking the loss of their labor and
the successful one mtrely selling his for the
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, andthe one who helps him self to the
best advantage is to be rewarded by doing ,it.
1'he 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 Vcry
ittle use to him. But the person who patent a
simple aud useful device ill the Press Clnlm
Company's competition, need not worry if he
fail to secure a prize. lie has a substantial
risultto Bhow for his work one that wll
command its value In the market at any
time.
The man who uses any article in his daily
work ought to know better now to improve It
tnan the mechanical expert who studies I'
only from the theoretical iioint of view, (ict
rid of the Idea tha' an improvement can be i
Vmple to be worth patenting. The Klmplert

ABSOLUT
A PICTURE OF LONDON.
The Terrible and Hrutul Savagery Thai
Existed In Old Riverside.
There were o masters in Riverside,
London, and thore was no authority
for the great mass of the people. The
sailor ashore had no master; the men
who worked on the lighters and on the
ships had no master except for the day;
the ifrnoble horde of those who supplied
the coarse pleasures of the sailors had
no masters; they were not made to do
anything but what they pleased; the
church was not for them; their children
were not sent to school; their only
masters were the fear of the gallows,
constantly dangled before their eyes
at Execution dock and on the shores of
the Isle of Dogs, and their profound re
spect for the cat o' nine tails. They
knew no morality; they had no other
restraint; they altogether slid, ran.
fell, leaped, danced and rolled swiftly
and easily down the Primrose path as
they fell into a savagery the like ol
which has never been known among
English folk since the days of their con
version to the Christian faith, writes
Walter Iicsant in Scribncr.
It is only by searching and poking
among unknown pamphlets and for
gotten books that one finds out the
actual depths of the English savagery
of the last century. And it is not too
much to say that for drunkenness,

"Provide thyself with the articles which
follow."

time the Door of Hope was contemplat

bury the girls who died while in its
care, and Miss Anderson declared that
she would consecrate the cent to this
cause. .She bought an egg and sold the
chicken that was hatched from it for
a dollar. The dollar was invested in
silk, ribbons, cardboard and fancy ar
ticles. Out of the cardboard were cut
Scriptural texts, and the silk was cro
cheted into little rings, which, with
strips of satin sash ribbon, made good
photograph ie. holders. Tho fancy ar
ticles were sold at good profits. At
last accounts Miss Anderson had near

at the expiration of the year enough
money to pay for a center piece in the
cemetery lot, which has been pur

' When we say a girl is homely we
mean that she is tho reverse of beauti

painfully so. In England, however, the
term is a measure complimentary. Tho
homely girl is the one. endowed with all
domestic virtues. She is a home-body
in every sense of the word; one of those
cozy little women with soft, plump
cheeks, smooth hair and rounded out
lines, that a man always imagines as
sitting opposite him at the table or
bending over a bit of sewing in the mel

Briton that a girl is not good-look
we must not say that she is homely, but
olain, or ugly.

ELY PURE
THE WILD CAMEL.
An Interesting' Animal of the Cen
tral Asian Desert
They Are Captured Only at Great Risk
ana Expense and Only Rich Native
Can Afford to Organize Hunt
ing Expeditions.
As far back as the fifteenth century
writers on Asia told of vague rumors
that wild camels exjsted in the great
Gobi wastes of the central part of the
continent. The existence of the wild
camel, however, was never proven to
the western world until within the last
fifty years, says the New York Sun.
Ten or twelve years ago Gen. Prejeval
sky brought back to the museums of
Russia a nvmber of skins of this animal.
It is found to abound in very consider
able numbers in the western part of
Chinese Turkestan, and the fact that
the world has known so little of it is
due to the scarcity of white explorers
in that region until quite recently and
to the wildness of the animal, which
renders it very difficult of atipro'ich.
During the expedition of Mr. Jonvalot
and Prince Henry of Orleans, the adven
turesome son of the duke of Chartres,
in 1889-90, Prince Henry collected in the
region of Lob Nor quite a number of
facts with regard to this interesting
animal. The question whether the
wild camel is the parent stock of the
domesticated animal or whether, on the
contrary, he is a descendant of the tame
camel is not yet settled and perhaps it
never will be. Instances have occurred
in Spain and quite recently in Guyana
of camels escaping from their masters
and m the course of years becoming
very wild.
The natives at Lob Nor told Prince
Henry that wild camels are found about
six days to the north of Lob lake. In
the summer they go up into the moun
tains, but they always return to the
same places, there being certain dis
tricts to which they are accustomed.
They wander about the desert feeding
on scanty herbage in troops of fifteen or
sixteen, all of them females except one
male, which becomes the undisputed
lord of his harem after terrific combats
with other males. The females have
two young every three years, and the
male protects them until they are
old enough to be weaned and to de
pend on what the desert affords for their
food.
It is very fatiguing and difficult to
get near them. The only way in which
they are nunted is to hide near a pond
on whose brink traces of wild camels
have been discovered. Then when the
animals come to drink, the hunter, con-
ccaled in the reeds, picks out a good

opeciiucii a.nu uuMa anujr wiiu lira am-gle-barreled
gun. Unless he is a good
shot he will lose his prize, for he has
no time to get a second shot, and if the
camel is only wounded it will make off
with its companions, and the hunter
will never get near it again. While
Prince Henry was at Lob Nor three
young men who had gone out to hunt
wild camels returned from the chase.
They had seen a great many camels,
but had only killed two. They had cut
the skins up into rectangular pieces
ready to be worked up into their manu
factures.
The best season for the sport Is in
winter, for nearly everywhere the water
is then frozen over so that the places
where the camels come to drink are
very few and the hunter is pretty sure
to find them. The natives believe these
camels are not descended from domes
ticated animals. "Our fathers and tra
dition," they said to Prince Henry,
"represent them as always wild. More
over, a domesticated camel cannot do
without man, but follows him. Every
domestic animal is descended from wild
ones."
When the chase for wild animals is
successful it is very profitable. The
camel's skin is in great demand for
boots and the hair makes very good
cloth. Only rich natives, however, can
organize these hunting expeditions, as
it is necessary to send several men out
to forward provisions to them, to fur
nish animals to transport them, which
sometimes die, and altogether consider
able risk is incurred.
When Snake-Polsou Is HarmleM.
Nature seems to have provided that
no poison which acts externally shall
have any effect internally, and vice
versa. Thus the most deadly snake
venom can be swallowed with impun
ity, the juice of the stomach presuma
bly decomposing it and rendering 11
harmless. Many experiments, says the
Washington Post, have been made tc
provo this. On one occasion recorded
by Humboldt one person swallowed th
whole of the poison that could be olc
tained from four Italian vipers without
suffering any bad consequences. In the
same way tho poison from the enven
omed arrows of South American In
dians can be swallowed with safety,
provided only that there is no wound
on the lips or inside of the mouth.
Fast Talkers.
The French newspapers tell of a very
interesting match that came off in
France. Two women in good society
challenged each other to talk fast.
Each was to utter as many words as
possible in a fixed time. Each woman
talked three consecutive hours. One
uttered 203,500 words. Tno other won
the match with 20fl,000 words.
