PRIZES ON PATENTS,
How to Get Twenty-five Hundred
Dollars for Nothing.
The Winner has a clear Gift of a Small i
Fortune, and the Losers Have Patents j
that may Bring them in Still More.
Would you like to make twenty-five hundred
dollars? If you would, read carefully what
follows aud you may see a way to do it.
The Press Claims Company devutest much
attention to patents. It has handled thousands
of applications for Inventions, but it would
like to handle thouvandu more. There is plenty
of inventive talUnt at hirge in this countr
needing nothing but encouragement to produce
practical results. Thatencouragcmeutihe Press
Claims Company propose to give.
NUT SO II A It I AS IT SKE.TIS.
A patent strikes most people as an appalling
ly formidable thing. The idea is that an in
ven tor must be a natural guuiUM, like Edison or
Bell; thai he must devote years to delving in
complicated mechanical problems a id 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 dinpel. 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 thai bring the best returns
to their authors, but the Utile, simple, and
cheap ones the things that seem so ubnunlly
trivial that the uvuratfe citlzeti would feel
somewhat ashamed of bringing tliuia to the
attention of the Patent Oiiice.
Edisou says that the profits he has received
trom the palentB ou ail his marvelous inven
tions ave not been sulllciciitto pay me cost
of his experiments. But the man who con
ceived the idea of fastening a bit of rubber
cord to a child's bull, so that.it would come
buck to the hand when thrown, made a fortune
out of his scheme. The modern sewing-machine
is a miracle of Ingenuity the product
a huudred and lifty 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
THK M I TLi: HUUS TI1U MON I
VALlAltM..
Comparatively few people regard themselves
as inveutors, 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 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 naade the saucepan
thinking of?" grumbles the cook. "He never
had to work over a utove, or he would liar2
known how It ought to have been ilxed."
"Hang such a collar button!" growls a man
who Is late: for breakfast. "If t wefe In the
busiuesi'd make buWi' that wosJiii'l slip
out, or brtak off, or gouge out ,b.ebaek of my
neck
And the various sufferers forgot about their
grievances and began to think of something
else. If they would Bet down the next con
venient opportunity, put their ideas about car
windows, saucepans and collar buttons lntu
practical shape, mid then apply for patenu
they might Mnd themselves as independently
wealthy as the man who invented the iron
umbrella ring, or the one who pa touted
he ill tee u puzz le.
A TUMPTINO OF Mr; II.
To Induce the people to keen track Jo f their
oright ideas and see what there iu them, the
Press Claims Company has resolved to offer u
I rise.
To Ihe person who submits to tl
the uiiiiuluitl and most pro mi wing
iivcntion, from a commercial
point of view, the company wilt
tfive l went y-l'i ve hundred dollar

It will also advertise the iiivcu
lion trvo of charge.
This offer is subject to the following coin! I
lions:
Every competitor must obtain a patent fo
his invention through the company. He mui-.
tirst apply for a preliminary search, the cost u
which will be five dollars. Should thi
seach show his Invention tube unpatentable
he can withdraw without further expensr.
Otherwise he will be expected incomplete tn
applfcatioD aud take out a patent in the regu
lar way. The total expense, including th
Uuverument and Bureau fees, will be seven!
iollars. For this, whether he secures a priz
or not, the inventor will have a patent thn
ought to be a valuable property to him. Tli
prize will be awarded by a jury consisting u
three reputable patent attorneys of Wasluh,
tun. Intended competitors should till out tn-
followlng blank, aud forward it with the!
application:
"I submit the within described Invention it
competition for the Twenty -five huudred Dolla
Prize offered by the Press Claims Company."
OIII,A3KK IM THIN COJII'E'J'II,
This Is a competition of rattier an uuussl nu
lure. It is common to offer prizes for the ben
story, or picture, or architectural plan, all tin
competitors risking the loss of their lHbor am
the successful oue merely selling his for tin
itmoun or the prize. But the Prens Clnim
Companies offer is somethiutr entirely diller
ent. Kach person Ik asked merely to help him
self, and the one who helps him self to tin
bestadvaiitas-e 1b to be rewarded by dolliK It
Che prize IB-only a stimulus to do something
that would be well wurth doing without II.
Tbe architect whose competitive plan fur n
club, house ou a certain corner is not occept
ed has spent his labor on something of vcrj
Itlle use to him. But Ihe person who patents n
simple and useful device in the Press Cltiimi
f'ampany's competition, need not worry If hi
fail to secure a prim. He has a siilmtHiitiiH

UNCANNY COCO DE MER.
IS Ia a Double Coc-iKiuut That Grows No.
body Kn:ivs Where.
After years of vain negotiations the
Royal llotanical society of London has
st last obtained a r.pccimun of that
rarest -of oriental rarities, the coco
de mer, or double coeoanut.
For hundreds of years, n'd even in
the year ISiOJ, the origin of the coco do
mer is a mystery that is yet to be ex
plained. It is unknown to coeoanut
grower.-! and gatlterers, and, according
to creditable testimony, has never been
seen except when wardied upon the
shores of Home tropical country by a
mighty r.torm. Lilly, the famous as
trologer, owned a small :ne,andCamac,
of Paris, another.
To these uncanny nuts the ignorant
masses of the r.evi ntct nth century at
tributed many of the supernatural
feats said to have been performed by
their owners. They were and arc sup
posed to have wonderful powcra in the
way of curing diseases. At one time it
was reported that there v. us a species
of coeoanut tree growing on the island
of Sepchelies which grew nothing but
these wonderful nuts. Williams, 11.
N., exploded the story and the coco de
mer is still a mystery.

Although it has hitherto been possible
to stop an electric ear quickly, the re
versal of the current which the action
necessitated resulted in a considerable
waste and caused a tenden- y to burn
out the motors. A new method of ac
complishing the stoppage has been do
vised. The new motors of a ear are so
connected that the electro motive foroe
of each under the rotation imparted by
the forward movement of the car op
poses that of tho other, and lends to
produce a current in such a direction as
to increase its own field mag netism and
cut down that of the other. The car
will thus be checked or brought to n
sudden stop if running rapidly, and if
on a heavy grade will creep slowly down
without taking current from tho supply
wire and without having the brakes set.

She found herself in debt even to her

Spain has, therefore, been nine days
ahead of time in celebrating tho 40oth
anniversary of the great navigator'sde

year.
After a bewildering and enchanting

His royal reception i:t Spain, his tri

disappointment, loss of royal favor and
attacks by the envious.
To the eternal infamy of llobadllla,
a Spanish commissioner, Columbus was
sent homo in chains at tho close of his

outrage and freed him; but tho great

This simulation of lyeanthropy, says
a letter from Africa in Goldthwaite's
Geographical Magazine, is known here
by the name of "Kuyon," which has
been translated into Krovboy English
as the man tiger, although the practice
is not wholly confined to men. The
Krovboy English name is a misnomer,
as it is well known that no tigers exist
in Africa, but it is also a vell-knowD
fact that there arc man-eating leopards.
in onc month, in a district comprising
some twenty square miles, moro than
twenty people were killed by the lcop
nrdR. At first the writer was very skep
tical as to the power of this animal to
carry off human beings, but that power
has been fully substantiated. It is also
a well-known fact that human beings
disguised iu leopards' skins have simu
lated the ways of these animals, and,
like them, lay in wait to destroy their
fellow creatures.
Several malefactors have been con
victed and executed by the authorities
for this crime, and when brought to
trial tho skin and different articles
employed have been produced In most
cases. The man or woman who assumes
this part must kill seven (a magical
number among the natives) living an
imals, including tho human species,
dogs, fowls, deer, etc. After this he can
render himself invisible and be invulner
able. The first thing he must possess is
a complete leopard Dkin, and then in
the darkness of night he mv.stmalco the
small tomahawk ho carries and the
spikes used on tho hands. These are
made out of a gun that has killed seveD
people, tempered with blood freshly
drawn from himself. At full moon he
must hold a vigil alone, by tho banks
of a broad stream, and watch steadily
tho reflections of tho moon's imago In
tho water, during which time tho nov
itiate is supposed to see wonderful vis
ions and obtain supernatural strength.
Then, lying in wait for his prey after
the manner of the leopards, he pounces
upon the unwary victim, tearing open
his throat and drinking his lifo blood.
The lycanthrope then proceeds to dis
member the body of his victim, pulling
off by main force thumbs, big toes, and
flesh between the eyes, and then tear
ing open the still quivering body to ob
tain the heart. Tho latter is eaten.
When the body is anointed with the
fat about the entrails it is supposed to
confer invisibility.
Strangers and women passing alone
on the road are the usual victims. The
writer was present in Mayumba with
Mr. Evans when a native of Camma was
traced and caught in tho bush after sus
picions had been aroused, owing to the
slaughter of two other Camma men.
As the Europeans had no jurisdiction
nnd tho native chiefs of Mayumba de
cided they could not interfere, tho man
was sent on to his own people, and was
afterward executed there for a similar
offense shortly after his arrival.
Here in tho interior, in order to pre
vent the spread of the Kuyon, tho skin
of every leopard killed is cut into nar
row strips and divided among the ciders
of the place. Quito recently, however,
I was in a native village and saw the
leopard-skin spikes hollowed to receive
tho lingers. A small wedge-shaped
tomahawk was attached thereto through
a hole in the wooden handle, which was
plentifully bedaubed with blood. Tho
Kuvon'a disguise had been found se
creted in a hollow tree, and I was pres
ent at tho confession and death. It was
a woman named Aroonda, obout forty
yearn old. She confessed to the murder
of three men and one woman, and re
gretted that she had not been able to
find more victims to make up the magic
total of seven.
She was of fragile appearance and it
seemed physically impossible that she
had done the deeds imputed to and con
fessed by her. From her appearance,
and because of tho wild expression of
her eyes, I fully believe she va3 insane,
but this, when broached, was scouted
by the judge, ns alio had successfully
carried on her household and family
duties. Her two children wero soli)
into slavery, the natives having the
idea that the offspring of a Kuyon soon
er or later attain tho same instinct. The
husband and family were unanimous in
desiring tho removal of the children to
such a distance that they would bo un
able to return to the town, and it
was only by continued intercessions that
they were not executed along with the
mother.
Each Kuyon plan3 individually his
schemes and'carecr, and in an experience
of over twenty years hero in Africa I
have known only two cases, both ol
which were in Gaboon, where two or
more persons engaged in concert to per
form their ferocious and nefarious mur
ders and under no circumstances 6hould
it be considered an association of mem
bers of a secret society.
May not a grinding sense of wrong
received without meuns of paying the
aggressor drivo some of these people
to the verge of madness, or may It not
be tho result of a hereditary homicidal
mania?
