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 yon 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. There is plenty
of inventive tallent at large in this country
needing nothing but encouragement to produce
practical results. That encouragement the Press
Claims Company propose to give.
NOT SO HARD 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; ihat he must devote years to delving In
complicated mechanical problems and that he
mUBt 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 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
cheap ones the things that seem so absurdly
trivial that the average citizen would feel
somewhat aBhamed of bringing them ts the
attention of the Patent Office.
Edison says that the profits he has received
trom 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, bo 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 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
THE LITTLE THINGS THE MONT
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!" Erowls a man
who is latejfor breakfast. "If I were in the
business I'd make buttons that wouldn't slip
out, c r break off, or gouge out the back of my

A TEMPTING OFFER.
To Induce the people to keep trackof their
bright ideas and see what there in them, the
Press Claims Company has resolved to offer a
rrize.
To the persou who submits to it
the simplest and most promising:
invention, from a commercial
point of view, the company will
give twenty-five hundred dollars
In cash, in addition to refunding
the fees for securing" a patent.
It will also advertise the in veil.
tlon 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
firBtapply for a preliminary search, the cost of
which will be five dollars. Should this
scach show his invention to be unpatentable,
he can withdraw without further expense.
Otherwise ho 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 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
tou. Intended competitors should fill out the
following blank, and forward it with their
application:

I submit the within described Invention in

Prize offered by the Press Claims Coropauy.
NO RLANKS IN THIS COMPET ION.
This is a competition of rather an uuusal na
ture. It is common to offer prizes for the besl
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, and the one who helps blm self to the
best advantage is to be rewarded by doing It.
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 oceept
ed has spent his labor on something of very
lttle use to him. But the person who patents a
simple and useful device in the Press Claims
Company's competition, need not worry if he
fall to secure a prize. He has a substantial
result to show for his wora one that wll
command Its value in the market at any
time.

TONTY VISITED CHICAGO,
If He Had Stayed Tliero He Would Hav s
Avoided a Hot Fight.
"In the year 1085," Tonty says in his
memoir, "I arrived at the fort of Chi
cagou, where M. De la Durantaye com
manded." This was the first fort here
of which we have any account, writes
Edward Gay Mason, in the New England
Magazine for April, and was probably a
stockade structure constructed by Du
rantaye in 1C85. Tonty also marched
from the Illinois with sixteen French
men and two hundred Indians to take
part in this campaign, and according to
one account he came by the way of Chi
cago and mustered some recruits there,
perhaps from the garrison of the fort.
He led his party across the country to
Detroit, where he met Durantaye and
two other famous pioneers, La Foret and
Daniel Groysolon Du Lhut, from whom
the present city of Dul uth takes its name.
They had a large body of French and
Indians from the upper lakes, and the
united force pushed on to Niagara
and joined the governor general's army
at the rendezvous on the southern
shore of Lake Ontario, near the Seneca
country. Two thousand five hundred
men marched through the wilderness
toward the great town of the Senecas,
with Durantaye, Tonty and Lhut and
their couriers de bois in the van. In
the narrow defile the advance, sepa
rated from the main body, came upon
an ambush of three hundred Indian
warriors, who closiul upon their rear
with yells of triumph, thinking this de
tachment to be the whole army. But
better leaders for such a fray there
could not be than these three intrepid
Frenchmen, who hold their wood
rangers 'Steadily to their work, until
suddenly through the forest came the
main body, headed by four companies
of the fighting Cnrifnan regiment, and
the .Senecus suddenly itl:indoned the
field. Their great tow 11 whs taken and
destroyed, und down to our own time
their descendants knew the scene of
their crushing defeat by the French ar

Ever since elo. tricity left its experi

came a possible source of energy and
power to man in advancing the com
mercial progress of the arts and sci
ences, the questions of the dangers to
life and properly have been brought
prominently bef.ro the public just as
the dangers attending the use of steam,
of rapid luor.mo! ion on railroads, of il
luminating pas and of dynamite were
brought to tho ultention of the world,
when there powerful agencies passed
through their infam y and entered into
the active service f man. In each in
stance there wits always a class who
took the partial or narrow view that if
the new agem-y were dangerous it should
be excluded from tho public, or if ad
mitted, it should lo hampered by such
limitations aud e::e:ut,ions as to render
it almost useless f or practical purposes,

nal of that time i;ta Ling that the people
would as soon be shot out of a cannon
as to travel at such a "high rate of ve
locity," it being considered detrimental
to respiration and the vital parts of tbe
body. Great r .-itemcnt occurred
through the daily prei.s when dyna
mite was first introduced not
long ago, stringent laws being
passsed in regard to its storage, and
transportation, a result of attempting
to evade which caused many more risks
and dangers bv carrying and keeping it
in everyday anil unsuspected places.

Nearly everyone remembers, when the
are lights appeared in New York city,
ot the startling account in the papers of
flames issuing from tbe body of a horse
that had accidentally come in contact
with one of the light wires.
All the old matters, however, have
settled themselves with the laws of uni
versal progress and the diifusion of
knowledge, and we now find fewer acci
dents with steam pressure of one to two
hundred pounds than with thirty then,
and fewer accidents also with sixty to
eighty miles per hour passenger travel
ing, considering the increase in the
number carried, and fewer fires from
gas than from candles or oil. Elec
tricity thinks we may conclude then
that the power or danger of any new
form of energy should not, and will not,
debar it fr n universal adoption, that
being onl u question of time. Intelli
gently managed and controlled, the
most powerful and otherwise dangerous
agency may be turned into man's best
and most eflicient servant. Thus, in
dealing with tho problems concerning
the generation and distribution of the
electric current, it should not be re
stricted by unintelligent legislation,
limiting or fixing certain voltages,
quantities, insulation, etc., but rather
the aim should be to perfect means by
which its full force may. be realized,
fostering ita growth into a higher
range of intensity and usefulness and
thus to increase its efficiency.
A RUDE AWAKENING.
It Generally Came to the Nodders DnranrJ
tho Old-Time Church Service.
In the olden time church services
were so long prayers, hymns and ser
mons that it is no wonder that many
of the hard-worked people in the con
gregations could not keep awake.
Hoth in the old world and in the new
various devices were rest irted to for the
purpose of baiii..himr sleep from the
church. Among these was not the
modern one of making the services
short and interesting. Our English
fathers tried several methods of break
ing up the oiV'ensive practice. One
method was that known as "bobbing,"
a term thus explained by a writer in
Notes und Queries:
"My mother can remember Betty
Finch, a very masculine sort of woman,
being the 'bobber at Holy Trinity
church in the year 1S10. .She walked
very majestically along the aisles dur
ing Divine service, armed with a great
long stick like a fishing rod, which had
a bob fastened to the end of it, and
when she caught any sleeping or talk
ing, they got a 'nudge.' "
Dr. Thirlwall, bishop of St. David's,
gives in one of his "Letters" an amus
ing account of a Kerry custom for
awakening sleepers in church:
"It is by ancient custom a part of the
exton's duty to perambulate the
church during service time with a bell
in his hand, to look carefully into every
pew, and wherever he finds anyone
dozing to ring the bclL
"He discharges this duty, it is Bald,
with great vigilance, intrepidity and
impartiality, and consequently witb
the happiest effect on tho congregation,
for as everybody is certain that if he or
she gives way to drowsiness the fact
will be forthwith made known through
tbe church by a peal which will direct
all eyes to the sleeper, the fear of sucb
a visitation is almost always sufficient
to keep everyone on the alert"

A RUSSIAN BELL. ,
Beturnrd to Ita Old Home After s Bs
Uhment. of Three Centuries.
A distinguished Siberian exile snugly
packed in a wooden box and honored
with the regretful farewells of a whole
population has just been returned to
European Russia under an escort of a
committee of citizens glad to receive it
back after its many privations. The
said exile is no other than the famous
bell of rglioh, banished to Tobolsk in
1593 by order of Cznr Boris Godunoff
for having rung tbe signal for the in
surrection in 17glich at the time of
the assassination of Crown Prince
Dimitri. Writing of it in his book Mr.
Kcnnan Rays: "The exiled bell has
been purged of its iniquity, has received
ecclesiastical consecration, and now
calls the orthodox people of Tobolsk to
prayers. The inhabitants of Uglich
have recently been trying to recover
their hell upon the pica that it has
been sufficiently punished by three
centuries of exile for its political un
trustwnrthiness in 131)3, and that it
ought now to be allowed to return to
its home. The mayor of Tobolsk argues
that the bell was exiled for life, and
that consequently its term of banish
ment hns not yet expired. He contends,
furl hero Hire, that even admitting the
original licle of the Uglich people, three
centuries of adverse possession by the
city of Tobolsk have divested the
claimants of all their rights, and that
'.he bed shall be allowed to remain
where it is. The question, it is said,
will be curried into the Russian courts."
The hitc.t news from Tobolsk, besides
shotting that a decision has been
reached in river of I'glieh, illustrates,
says Free. Uussias. the inconsequential
cliar.",'-lcr 1 f Russian justice, which
closes i'.s tribunals to the wrongs of
thousands of sufferers in Liberia and
opens them to a miserable squabble
about a bell.
WHENCE CAME THE FROGS? '
AReeer.t Khmvor lu New Jersey Sug
gentn Home Kcienttflc Speculation.
During a thunderstorm in New Jer
sey the other day it "rained frogs" to
such an extent that, according to the
testimony of multitudinous witnesses,
the streets of Port Morris were alive
with hundreds of these creatures.
Here's a state, of things which the Bos
ton Globe says science can no more ex
plain to-day than it could two thou
sand years ago. It is still said, of
course, that these frogs were sucked up
in marshes and carried into the clouds,
but no human being ever yet saw a frog
thus taken up, and it is odd that noth
ing is ever "raised to eminence" in this
way except the frog, though plenty of
other living things may bit near by all
ready to be sucked up.
A good many observers hold to the
curious and interesting opinion that
under certain very rare electrical con
ditions life seems generated spon
taneously. The frog is a peculiarly
electrical creature, and in fact first
suggested the existence of animal mag
netism as a distinct force to science. If
any animal could be thus suddenly and
strangely called into being it might
well be the frog. Now that the univer
sity extension professors are about set
ting to work teaching the people
science, it would be interesting to hear
them explain mysteries such us the de
went of frogs, which has been the talk
of Port Morris and all the. region round
about.
,H. REPEATED FAREWELLS. 1 ,
Ths Russian Habit of Hugging sod Kiss
. Ing at Parting.
' In Russia a great deal of emotion is
expended over a railway journey. To
nine-tenths of the people a trip of a
hundred miles by rail is a tremendous
event, and they accordingly bid their
friends farewell with a solemnity and
effusion unknown to the "globe trot
ting" American. Rough men and stout
old women hug one another with the
fervor of bears, and half the people are
either kissing or shedding tears.
Not the least amusing part of the
spectacle to the beholder are the ludi
crous mistakes of the uninitiated. Sev
eral warnings are given before the
train leaves, and many persons taks
each warning for the final one.
Thomas Stevens, In his volume en
titled "Through Russia on a Mustang,"
mentions a woman who was saying hei
parting word to her husbund through
an open window of the car. The bell
was rung. The lady leaned out; her
husband's arms were placed about her
neck. They kissed each other with
resonance, once, twice, thrice! She
drew back into the car, und both ex
pected the train to move off. v
It did not stir, however, and an offi
cer told the man that there were still
fifteen minutes to wait, and that
another signal would be given. Instead
of one signal there proved to be two,
and so this loving couple treated the by
standers to their little tableau no less
than three times, twoof which were the
result of false ulurms.
