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 you 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 handled thousands
of applications for inventions, but it would
like to handle thousands more, mere is plenty
of Inventive tallent at large lu this country
needing nothing but encouragement to produce
practical results. Thatencouragemcutthc tress
ClalniB Company propose to give.
NOT SO lllllll AS I'tSKEJIS.
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 muBt devote years to delving in
complicated mechanical problems and that he
must Bpcnd a fortune on delicate experiments
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 thatbring 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 bringing them to the
attention of the Patent Offlce.
Edison says that the protits he has received
trom the patents on all his marvelous Inven
tions have not been sufllcientto pay tne cost
of his 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 hundred and fifty years, but the whole bril
liant result rests upon Hie simple device of
putting the eye of the needle at the point in
stead of at the other end.
of the toll of hundreds of busy brains through
THE LITTLE THINGS THE MOST
VALIIAIILI1,
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 bo that they can be slid up and down
withDUt breaking the passengers' back?" ex
claims the traveler. "If I were running the
road I would make them in Buch 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 I
known how it ought to have been fixed."
Hang such a collar button!" growls a man
who Is latejfor 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, Baucepans and collar buttons luto
practical shape, and then apply for patents
they might find themselves as independently
wealthy as the man who invented the iron
mbrella ring, or the one who patented
he fifteen puzzle.
A TEMPTING OH l it.
To induce the people to keen track of their
bright ideas and see what there in them, the
Press Claims Company has resolved to offer a
rize.
To the person who submits to it
hu simplest nnd most promising
nvention. from a commercial
point of view, the company will
Elve twenty-five hundred dollars
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 for
his invention through the company. He must
first apply for a preliminary search, the cost of
which will be five dollars. Should this
seach show his inveutiou 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 thai
ought to be a valuable property to him. The
prize will be awarded by a jnry consisting of
three reputable patent attorneys of Washilig
ton. Intended competitors should fill out the
following blank, and forward it with their
application:
I submit the within described invention in
competition for the Twenty-five hundred Dollar
Prize offered by the Press Claims Company."
combining simplicity and popularity, will get
the Press Claims Company's twenty-live hun
dred dollars.
The responsibility of this company may be
judged from the fact that its stock is held by
about three hundred 01 the leading newspapers

He is an old soldier, and we belie
that soldiers and their heirs will re
ceive justice at his hands. We do not
anticipate that there will be any radiual
changes in the administration of pensioi

We would advise, however, that TJ. 8,
soldiers, sailors and their heirs, take
steps to make application at onee, if
they have not already done so, in order
to secure the benefit of the early filing
of their claims in case there should be
any future pension legislation. Suoh
legislation is seldom retroaotive. There
fore it is of great importance that ap
plications be filed in the department at
the earliest possible date.
If the TJ. 8. soldiers, sailors, or their
widows, children or parents desire in
formation in regard to pension matters,
they should write to the Press Claims
Company, at Washington, D. C, and
they will prepare and send the neoessary
application, if they find them entitled

A Locomotive to the North Pole,
A new means to reach the north pole
has been proposed by Prof. Damaskin,
of Athens, Greece. I le has constructed
a locomotive the wheels of which have
sharp edges on the outside rim, which
easily cut into ice and are shaped in 8
manner to hold fast in it. Thus they
move forward. The locomotive is moved
by steam, which serves at the same
time to warm the, entire bpaee in which
the travelers live,
All visitors to the world's fair will
doubtless want to inspect the Irish vil
lage which is being- arranged under the
auspices of the countess of Aberdeen
and Mrs. Ernest Hart. The latter gives
the following outline of what it will
contain: I
"We shall have seven cottages in
which peasant girls and lads from
Donegal and elsewhere will be seen at
work, weaving, spinning, dyeing,
sprigging, carving, etc. The girls will
look very pretty in Connemara red pet
ticoats, fishwife skirts and blouses, and
scarlet cloaks. In the first cottage will
be a precise model of a cottage in Done
gal, with undressed walls of granite,
with a hooded fireplace and dresser full
of bright crockery; a girl will he seen
I dyeing and spinning our famous liand-
and-Heath homespuns, the wool of which
she gets from the lichens and heather
of her native hog outside. There will
be an imitation peat fire, and on this
the dyer will from time to time place
her iron potato-pot, and proceed to dye
the wool. This operation is certain to
prove immensely attractive to sight-
seers, and, as well as the carding, spin- I
ning and bobbin-filling, which will be
shown here, is an extremely interesting
process.
"In the second cottage there will be
linen weaving and embroidering of the
famous Kells art embroidery; whilst
linen damask weaving on a Jacquard
handloom and fringe-knotting will go
on in the third cottage. Between this
and the next cottage there will be a
model dairy, in which dairjhinaids will
be at work churning ani jutteimak
rag. I can assure our Arjyfrican cous
ins they will have a cMtfee of some
good butter, as we shairseittT Over some
of the world-famed Kerry cows, which
will be stabled at the rear. There will
also be a pleasant, cool spot here where
visitors can rest and drink iced milk.
"In the fourth cottage, which is un
der the especial care of the Irish Indus
tries association, every description of
frish lace will be shown. There will
be a Tjimeriek lace worker at her frame,
the Torchon lace worker at the pillow,
the numerous varieties of point lace,
and so forth.
"Sprigging and voining, which are
employed in the production of the beau
tiful hemstitched handkerchiefs of Bel
fast, will be shown in the next cottage.
The girls of Down are especially noted
for their exquisite and delicate work.
We have not quite definitely decided
about the two remaining cottages, but
we shall probably show in the seventh
the wood-carving industry in Ireland,
which has reached a really remarkable
degree of development when one re
members the workers and teachers are
peasant lads. You should see the set
of owls carved by some of my own boys
for Lady Aberdeen last year. The ex
pression of the owls' faces, as well as
the execution, was excellent. Other
features of our Irish industrial village
will be a replica of Donegal castle, an
old well and other interesting Celtic
memorials. I believe the Irish village
will be successful; we shall certainly do
our best to make it so."
wnen a man pants lor a woman and a
woman panto for a man they are a pair
of pants. Such pants don't last. Tants
are like molasses; they are thinner in
hot weather and thicker in cold. The
man ill the moon changes his pants dur
ing the eclipse. Don't you go to the
pantry for pants, you might be mis
taken. Men are often mistaken in
pants. Such mistakes make breeches
tf promise. There has been much din
cussion as to whether pants is singular
or plural. Seems to us when men wear
pants they are plural, and when thev
don't wear pants it is singular. Men go
on a tear in their pants, and it is all
right, but when the pants go on a tear
it is all wrong."

NO BLANKS IN THIS COM PETIO.
This is a competition of rather an uuusol na
ture. It Is common to oner 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 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, andthe one who helps him self to the
best advantage Is to be rewarded by doing lit.
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

Ancient Stone Cutting Tools.
An investigator, who lived during
two years in a tomb at (jizeh, has col
lected evidence to prove that the tools
used in working stone four thousand
years ago had jeweled cutting edges,
like modern tools, lie says that the
builders of the pyramids used solid and
tubular tools, straight and circular
saws, and many other tools supposed
to be modern. In some specimens of
granite a drill had sunk one-tenth of an
inch at each revolution, indicating that
the pressure was at least two tons.
Nothing is known of the material of

Be Was Something of a Mar
Ills Story Proved.
He was a quiet-looking, elderly maD
in a pastoral sort of black bloadcloth
suit and a broad brim, such as are worn
by "colonels" and "majors." Next to
him in the car sat two young men who
were telling stories about personal
experiences on the road. One of them
related with much gusto an encounter
which he had recently had with a des- .
perate western man, the weapons being
cards, says the Pittsburgh Dispatch.
The game was poker, the special oc
casion was that old familiar "big jack
pot" which so often figures in profane
history and two principals were armed
with straight flushes. "It was a dollar
limit game," remarked the young man,
"and we bet sixty-seven times and then
I called him. lie had a sequence flush,
queen high, and I had one king high.
You should have heard him swear." 1
noticed that the old man listened with
great attention to the story and at itf
conclusion he exclaimed with much as
tonishment: "You called him!" The
youngster blushed and acknowledged
h is guilt.
"Well, well!" said the old man, shak
ing his head, "these times is suttinlj

A clever piece of work was recently
done by the telegraph battalion of an
English regiment in the course of some
night experiments. An extensive cable
was rapidly laid over the roughest pos
sible ground, and that, too, without
the slighest assistance from search
lights, and the lieutenant general was
thus enabled not only to find a lost
brigade, but to control the simulta
neous advance and attack of three sep
arated brigades on nn earthwork at
midnight. The telegraph, in fact, ren
dered a most difficult and doubtful op
eration comparatively onsy and certain.
At some late maneuvers, too, a highly
useful attempt was made, to produce on
a map at headquarters a plan of battle,
step by step, as it progressed many
miles away, by means of reports wired
from the Held. The attempt did not
succeed because the maps available
were not on a sufficient scale; but the
feasibility of the plan was demonstra
ted, while its value to a general direct
ing operations over a wide Held is ob
vious. With large scale maps, a bal
loon and increased observing staff, it is
likely to be made a most important aid
to the strategist and the tactician.
