How to Get Twenty-five Hundred
Dollars for Nothing.
The Winner has a clear Gift of a Smalt
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 haudled thousands
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 produce
practical resultB. That encouragementthe Press
Claims Company propose to give.
NOT SO HARD AH 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 and that he
must spend 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 ctear comprehension
of the fact that it Is not the great, complex, aud
expensive inventions 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 bringing them to the
attention of the Patent Office.
Edison says that the profits he has received
trom the patents on ail his marvelous inven
tions avenotbeeu 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 modem sewing-machine
Is a miracle of ingenuity the product
a hundred 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 LITTLE THINGS THE MOST
VALUABLE.
Comparatively few people.regard themselves
as inventors, 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
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 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 a man
who is late;for breakfast. "If I were in the
businessi'd make buttons that wouldn't slip
out, or break off, or gouge out the back of my
else. If they WaliV 'set down the next con
venient opportuuity, 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 m'an who invented the iron
umbrella ring, or the one who patented
he fifteen puzile. .
To induce the people to keen trackof their
hriirht Ideas and see what there in them, the
Press Claims Company has resolved to oiler a

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 aud Bureau feeB, will be seventy
dollars. For this, whether he secures a prize

He Waited Two Hours, Then Started to
Leave in a Itage.
The London News gives this interest
ing version ol llenrik Ibsen's courtship:
When he fell in love with the beautiful
daughter of Pastor Thoresen, how to
make known the fact to her troubled
hira for weeks. At last he resolved to
write to her. lie would come aud fetch
his answer the same afternoon at five.
Did the lady accept him she would be
"at home," otherwise not. At five
nVlnch- hn nresented himself, and the
mairl asked him to go into the best
room. IIC was very liopetul ana was
glad to have time1 to collect him
self before he met the lady. Hut when
he had waited half an hour awful
doubts began to assail him. After an
hour had passed he imagined the letter
had not reached the young lady. Some
fatal mistake-was making a fool of him.
Still he waited on. After two hours he
began tof.be ashamed of himsslf. She
would learn that he had sat two hours
in that ileRc.rted house and would laugh
at him. At last he jumped up in a rage
and ran to the door, lie was openintf
it when a loud peal of laughter ar
rl him. He turned and saw the
fair head of his adored emerge from
under the sofa. Her mouth waB laugh
ing but her eyes were filled with tears,
"Oh, you dear, good fellow, to wait all
this while!" she said. "I wanted to
see how many minutes a lover's pa
tience lasts. How hard the floor is!
Now help me to get out, and then we
will talk." In less than a week the
marriage was arranged.

"I inhale about twenty gallons of
laughing gas every day," said a surgeon
dentist who, according to the New York
Mail and Express, makes a business of
pulling tevth. "Xo, I don't do it for
pleasure, .but for the purpose of show
ing patients how to take it. The im
portant thing is to inflate the lungs
with a few big breaths from the gas
bag; then complete unconsciousness
supervenes tind no pain whatever is
felt. On the contrary, the dreams of
persons under the in lluence of nitrous
oxide uru usually most agreeable. An
Irish ;;irl who came to me tlieother'day
to have a tooth extracted exclaimed on
awaking: 'Sure, I thought I was at a.
wake!' A Herman told me that he
dreamed he was in a lager-beer, saloon.
A little boy said that he 'thought he I
was up in the air, holding on to the
tail of a kite.'
That enormous bag like a balloon
which you saw dragged into the office
few minutes ago is rilled with laugh
ing gas. It is made of canvas coated
with rubber and holds two hundred
gallons. The quantity sviflices for only
about twenty-live patients, because
they waste a good deal from not know
ing how to take it. The stuff does not
cost much to manufacture, however.
It is made from nitrate of ammonia,
which is a salt obtained by boiling am
monia in nitric acid. We buy it in gran
ulated shape, and all that -is necessary
in order to get the gas from it is to boil
it in water. Iu the laboratory we put
five or six pounds of it into a long
necked flask, beneath which is a lighted

A Wonderful PIK.
Dr. Hickman, of Ludlow, Shropshire,
England, has an alcoholic specimen in
his museum in the shape of a pig, the
inatomical structure of which is as ex
traordinary as it is unaccountable.
The minute anatomy is not given, but
the external appearances are: One
lead, two eyes, four ears, eight legs
md two tails. The internal structure
is: Ono tongue, one windpipe and one
heart, the hitter having two sets of cir
mlations, viz.: Two aortae to supply
the body and two to supply the lungs;
two livers, four kidneys, two bladders,
two spleens and two sets of intestineB.

"1 was inclined to doubt Sir Claude's

THE INDISPENSABLE NAPKIN.
It Was First Used Only by hllttrcn and
Seor.-ed by Cltiers.
Curiously enough that article now
considered almost indispensable, the
table napkin, was first used only by
children, says the Youth's Companion,
and was only adopted by elder members
of the family about the middle of the
fifteenth century. In etiquette books
of an earlier date than this, among
other sage pieces of advice for children,
are instructions about wiping their
lingers and lips with their napkins.
It seems that the tablecloth was long
enough to reach the floor and served the
grown people in place of napkins. When
they did begin to use napkins they placed
them first on the shoulder, then on the
left arm, and finally tied them about the
neck. A French writer, who evidently
was conservative and did not welcome
the napkin kindly, records, with scorn:
'The napkin is placed under the chin
and fastened in the back, as if one were
going to be shaved. A person told me
that he wore his that way that he
might not soil his beautiful frills."
It was a difficult matter to tie the
two corners in the back, and it is said
that thence originated our expression
for straitened circumstances: "Hard
.Wurjake notn r.nrts mpet.".-Tbis custom
sooner than in fcrnglanu. ii one nine
it was customary at great French din
ners to change the napkins at every
course, to perfume them with rose
water and to have them folded a differ
ent way for each guest.
About KirtO Pierre David published
the "Maistre d'Hostel," "which
teaches how to wait on a table proper
ly and how to fold all kinds of table
napkins in all kinds of shapes."
The shapes were: "Square, twisted,
folded in bands aud in the forms of a
double and twisted shell, single shell,
double melon, single melon, cock, hen
and chickens, two chickens, pigeon in
a basket, partridge, pheasant, two
capons in a pie, hare, two rabbits, suck

WONDERS OF PHOTOGRAPHY.
Soap llubblui Photographed i i tbe Act of
J!u rs ting.
Electricity has been doing some pret
ty work in the photographing of
drops of water, and Prof. C. V. lioys in
a recent lecture gave illustrations of
what had been accomplished, says the
Detroit Free Press, lie first showed
photographs taken by the electric spark
of soap bubbles in the act of bursting,
and explained the process by which it
is possible to ascertain the respe 'live
speed at which different soap bubbles
burst. One photograph showed an issue
of liquid from a very small pipe, wlii h
to the naked eye appeared to be a per
fect stream, but which, on an eie-iiM
photograph being taken, was resolved
into a beautiful and regular series of
drops. In connection with this l'rof.
Hoys remarked unit, tne science ..i
liquids and of the forces involved in the
phenomena of the surface of liquids
was one of the most interesting branch
es of physical science. The effect on a
fountain of playing or singing was to
change its appearance into one, two or
three apparently separate, clear streams
of liquid, but a photograph taken as a
tuning fork was struck demon itra ted
that the water was disposed in di-..pi, in
perfect regularity. A picture of a ride
bullet, passing through the air nt the
rate of two thousand feet a second, was
also exhibited, l'rof. lioys, however,
showed that if it were wished to inves
tigate what was really happening when
a rifle bullet was being projected
through the air at the maximum possi
ble speed, it would be necessary to have
recourse to a method of illuniinuti n in
finitely more rapid than the ele -trie
spark. For this purpose a mirror of
steel, about the size of a twenty-live
cent, niece, is now used. It is so mount
ed as to revolve with ease without get
t.inir hot at the enormous speed of one
thousand times a second, and the end of

a rate that it enables photographs tobu
