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 joullke to make twenty-five hundred
dollars' If you would, read caremuy wnai
follows and you may ee a way to do It.
The Press Claims Company devotes much
attention to patents. It has nanaiea tnousanus
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 proauce
practical results. Thatencouragementthe Press
Claims Company propose to give.
NOT SO HAKD AS IT SEEMS
A patent Btrlkea most people as an appalling
ly formidable thing. The Idea is that an in
ventor must be a natural genius, me noisou or
Bell; that he must devote years to delving in
(omnlicated mechanical problems and that he
must spend a fortune on delicate experiments
before he can get a new device to a pateniaoie
degree of perfection. This delusion the com
nanv 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 little, simple, and
oheap ones the things that seem so absurdly
trivial that the average cltiien would feel
somewhat ashamed of bringing them to the
attention of the Patent Office.
Edison says that the proflts he has received
Irom the patents on all his marvelous Inven
tions ave not been sufficient to pay tne cost
of his experiments. But the man 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-ma
chine is a miracle of lugenuity-the product
a hundred and Bfty 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 toll of hundreds of busy brains through
TUR LITTLE THINGS THE HUNT
combining simplicity and popularity, will get
the Press Claims Company's tweuty-fivo 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 newspapers
of the United Htates.

VALUABLE.
Comparatively few people regard theraselveB
as inventors, but almost every body has oeen
struck, atone time or another, with ideas that
seem calculated to reduce some of the little
frictlous of life. Usually such Ideas are dis
missed without further thought.
"Why don't the railroad company make its car
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 art" grumbles the cook. "He never
had to work over a stove, or he wouia nave
known how it ought to have been fixed."
Hang such a collar button!' growlB aman
who is latefor 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
Dractlcal 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
he fifteen puzzle.

Prize offered by the Press ClaimB Company
NOHI.AMtS IN THIN COM I'li'l'ION.
This Ib a competition of rather an uuusal na
tare. 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 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, and t he one who helps him self to the
best advantage is to be rewarded by doing it.
Theprizeis only a stimulus to do something
that would be well worth doing without it
The architect whose competitive plau fur a
club house on a certain comer is not occept-
ed has spent his labor on something of very
Utle use to him. But the person who patents a
simple aud useful device In the Press Claims
Company's competition, need not worry if he
fail to secure a prize. He has a substantial
result to show for his work one that wll
command Us value iu the market at any

ARIZONA TURKEY HUNT.
Before Thanksgiving All the
tiers Unite In the Slaughter.
There are some parts of Arizona that
are full of men who will live for three
hundred and sixty-four days in the year
on bacon and beans and never utter a
complaint. But on the other day it is
different. If the bill of fare is not
changed on Thanksgiving day, there ia
trouble in camp, grumbling and profan-
itv. and a tendency to talk bluely about
the home in "the states," says the San
Francisco Examiner.
Away down in the southeastern sec
tion of the territory there is a creek
called Rio Prieto, and nicknamed the
"Turkey river." It is the only place
within about two hundred miles where
wild turkeys abound, but then there are
enough of them iu the narrow valley to
stock a statu with this greatest of
fowls, wild or tame. Just before
Thanksgiving, prospectors, miners and
ranchers come i:it ) t'.io canyon from as
much as one btimlrctl miles away to
shoot turkeys f'1" dinner on the great
day. For a '..:;. or i- tins slaughter is

SCIENCE AND THEOLOGY.
Mixing the Two Led Early Christian In
i Teatlgstora Far Astray.
' The greatest theologians aided in de
veloping the fetichism in which much
of this pseudo-science was grounded,
remarks Dr. Andrew D. White in an
article on the transition from magic tc
modern chemistry, in the Popular Sci
ence Monthly. One question largely
discussed was whether at the redemp
tion it was necessary for God to take
the human form. Thomas Aquinas an
swered that it was necessary, but Wil
liam Occam and Duns Scotus answered
that it was not; that God might have
taken the form of a stone, or of a log,
or of a beast The possibilities opened
to wild substitutes for science by thij
sort of reasoning were infinite.
Men have often wondered how it woj
that the Arabians accomplished so
much in scientific discovery as com
pared with Christian investigation; the
reason is not far to seek; the Arabians
were comparatively free from these
mystic allurements, these theologic
modes of thought which in Christian
Europe flickered in the air on all sides,
luring men into paths which led no
whither.
Strong investigators like Arnold de
Villanova, Itaimond Lully, Basil Valen
tine, Paracelsus, and their compeers,
were thus drawn far out of the only
paths which led to fruitful truths. In a
work generally ascribed to Arnold of
Villanova, the student is told that in
mixing his chemicals he must repeat
the psalm Exsurge Domine, and that on
certain chemical vessels must be placed
the last words of Jesus on the cross.
Vincent de Ileauvais insists that as the

It was broad day. The Russian fleet
was gone, the last of their men of war
was at the bottom only the steamers
were active, towing boats and moving
from place to place on mysterious er
rands. Thirty-uve magazines In all

September 9 the Russians were march

the bridge covered with them .still. At
6:45 a. m. the last body of infantry
crossed the bridge arid mounted the op- j
posite bank. Yes, the south side was
left to the possession of the allies at j
last! Sebastopul, the city, the docks i
and the arsenal were ours.
In half an hour more the end of the '
bridge itself was floated away by some
invisible agency from the south side,
and in less than t:n h v.ir the several
portions of it were collected at the fur

Wonderful Mechanical Kittens.
A most wonderful mechanical toy has
been on private exhibition in Paris late
ly and it is understood that efforts are
to be made to secure the curiosity or
curiosities for the Chicago exposition.
This remarkable piece of mechanism
consists of seven life-sized kittens, cov
ered with real skin, but with eyes of
emeralds set in white cnameL Each
