PRIZES ON PATENTS.
How to Get Twenty-five Hundred
Dollars for Nothing,
The Winner hat 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. There is plenty
of inventive talleut at large in this couutr
needing nothing but encouragement to produce
practical results. That encouragement the Press
Claims Company propose to give.
NUT SO HA HO AS IT N.Hs,
A patent strikes most people as an appalling
ly formidable thing. The idea is that an in
ventor must be a natural genius, like disou oi
Bell; that he must devote years to delving in
complicated mechanical problems and that h
must spend a fortune on delicate experiment
before he cau 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 ciear comprehension
of the fact that it is not the great, complex, ail'
expensive inventions that bring the best return
to their authors, but the little, simple, an.
cheap ones the things that seem so absurd;
trivial that the average citizen would fee
somewhat ashamed of bringing them to tin
attention of the Patent Olllce.
Kdison says that the profits he has receive
trom the patents on all his marvelous Inven
tions ave not been sutlicicnt to pay tne cost
of bis 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 fortuut
out of his scheme. The modern sewing-machine
is a miracle of ingenuity the product
a bundled 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 THINKS THE MONT
VALUABLE,
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 Ideasr are dis
missed without further thought.
"Why don't the railroad company make Its car
windows so thit they cau be slid up and down
with Dut 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 itought to have been fixed."
"Hang such' a collar button!" growls a man
who Is late; for 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 surterers 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
practical 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.
A TEMPTING OFFEIC.
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 Hie person who submita to it

point of view, the company will

in cash, in addition lo refunding
the fee for securing a patent.

This offer is subject to the following condi
tions:
Every competitor must obtain a patent fen
his iuventlon through the company. He niusi

which will be five dollars. Should thn
seach show his Invention 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 seveuty
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 jury consisting of
three reputable patent attorneys of Washihg
ton. Intended competitors should (ill out the
following blank, and forward it with their
application:
" , , iv.a.
I submit the within described Invention In
competition for the Twenty-live hundred Dollar
Prize offered by the Press Claims Company."
NO IIXANKS IN Til IK CO.TI :' I .
This Is a competition of rather an unusul na-
ui"e. 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
nioun 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 him self to tin
best ad vantage 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 occept-
ed has spent his labor on something of very
Utle 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 ror ms work one that wil
command us value in the maiket at .any
time.
Hie man who uses any article In his dally
work ought to know better now to Improve it
than the mechanical expert who studies it
only from the theoretical point of view, (let
rid of the idea that an improvement can be too
simple to be worth patenting. The simplertha

It is about a big fish that I write, but
It Is a true story, snt-s a writer in the
Belfast Age. I saw the. fish, I took his

1863, he mentions that in 1R03 Province
town had a regulation relating to the
carcasses of whales, sharks, horse
mackerel, etc., which required that
they be towed below low-water mark,
which would indicate that these marine
animals were so common as to be in
some degree offensive in warm weath

their oil. Uight. whales yielded twenty,
forty, eighty and sometimes one hun
dred barrels; humpbacks, fifteen to
twenty barrels; grampus, one, two or
three; blackfish, one barrel; sharks,
from one gallon to seven or eight bar
rels; porpoise, two gallons, and a boat
load of dogfish yielded about one bar
rel of lil. Now, my big fish was called
a shark, though ho was not of
the man-eating or shovel-nosed va
riety. N. E. Atwood, a distin
guished and practical ichthyologist
of Provineetown, pronounced the tisli
a liver shark or sea elephant, and
considered it rare. The fish was almost
entirely white, and as handsome in form
as a maekerel. He was caught in 1803,
inside of what is called Long Point,
forming an outer boundary of Prov
incetown's beautiful harbDr. The fish
ermen had spread their seiues there for
maekerel, and this big fish had got en
tangled in them all about him so that
he was easily pulled to the shore, where
the tide left him high and dry. Being
at that time engaged in business in
Provineetown I was invited to visit the
monster and see him cut up for the pur
pose of extracting his liver. Hv the
vf ay, all the oil of a shark is in his liver, I
wtuie tnat ol a whale, of course, is m
bis flesh or blubber. I took a rule aud
measured this shark, and found his
length to be just thirty-one feet; the
breadth of his tail was seven feet and
ais circumference in the thickest part
sixteen feet.
I have stated that the liver of this
lhark weighed two tons, and this is
how it was determined: The liver was
;ut in pieces and pitched into a dory;
the dory carried a ton and a half in
weight besides the rower, as has been
proved, bringing her down to her upper
jtreak; the dory was twice loaded deep
with this liver, and so the fishermen
thought the weight was nearly three
tons, butto be within bounds 1 conclud
ed to call it two tons and it. is so record
ed in this veradous chronicle. After
the oil had been fried out 1 found that
it made seven barrels full and was
worth at that time two hundred dol
lars. GROWTH OF AMERICAN CITIES.
Conntry Towns Itelni; Depleted to Fill
the Incessant Demand.
In 181)0 more than 18,000,000 of the
people of the United States lived in
cities which hud a population of over
8,000. This advance in city develop
ment is said by the New York Ledger
to be simply phenomenal. The history
of mankind presents no parallel. Tlie
primeval forests and prairies of forty
years ago are now crowded with
rapfdly progressing centers, filled with I
the last appliances of an nge of inven
tion. To every citizen the administra
tion of his city government is a ques
tion of first rate Importance. Nearly
all his taxation flows into that munici-
pal treasury, and from it comes the
school where he educates his family;
the sanitation which protects his home
, from disease; the virtue or vice which
makes his dwelling place a heaven or a
hell. These statements are strong, but
not too strong. The welfare of twenty
millions of Americans demands more
than partial treatment and cannot be
expressed by mere commonplace
truisms. A city government is not
chosen to-duy as a specific corporation
constituted for a specific purpose.
Probably in the 450 cities of the United
States the majority of the officers are
elected on outside issues, and not al
ways because of their fitness to manage
the peculiar interests committed to
their charge. And here is the tap-root
of many evils, for polities are the con
cern of the nation far more than any
city government can possibly be. They
have a supremo place, but that gives
them no right to monopolize every
other. Men should be trained to
municipal affairs us a distinct profea.
sion, as they are in Germany.
The expenditure of money is vast.
During the fiscal year of 1801-2 the tax
ation in one of our greut cities amount
ed to fifty-nine dollars per head for
every man, woman and child contained
therein. Those public funds should not
be submitted to the caprice of profes
sional politicians. Pather should the
ends for which they are raised be more
completely answered by a better, purer
government of the twenty millions,
nearly one-third of our total population,
concerned in. this vital question. Our
country towns are giving up the major
ity of their youth to the city's incessant
demand. The next century will boo
New York the largest emporium in the
world, and many sister rivals scattered
all over our territory. In view of these
facts, we pronounce this question of
city government a burning one; and if
there could be any other with more far
reaching and imperative issues to our
national life we declare we should Ilk
to have it named.

THE MUSHROOM BULLfcl.
A New Projectile That Will Dlsabla tf
Itiuher Than Kill Them.
Gen. Tweedie has designed a bullet
which Is thought highly of by English
ordnance experts, and is in their opin
ion something that will meet a long-felt
want, says the New York Times.
The new small-bore bullet has bee
found to puss through living animals in
less sensitive parts without their being
aware that they have been struck at all.
This is due to the combination of high
velocity and small diameter. In war
the object is to disable men, and this is
often more effectually fulfilled by
wounding than by killing, because a
wounded man at the moment requires
one or two men to look after him, while
the dead man is for the time let alone.
If the wound, however, is one that
hardly makes its existence known the
immediate object may not be answered.
A savage especially would despise a
wound of that character. If the bullet
strikes bone the effect is different, be
cause bone splinters terribly under a
blow nt a high velocity, but for what
are called flesh wounds the small bore
is "nowhere."
Gen. Tweedie's bullet has a mantlet
or ease, which is closed at the base and
open at the head, the mantlet ending
about half way between the shoulder
and the point. The result is that on
striking the head spreads or "mush
rooms" so as to make the bullet, after
having the advantage of a small diam
eter in flight, to become on impact
practically one of large bore, the main
difference being that the energy con
sists more in velocity and less in
weight than was the case in an old
large-bore ball. It is said also to be
much more efficient ugainst thin iron
or steel plate, for the same reason
namely, that it makes a much larger
hole nnd acts particularly well in
oblique impact. Of course it will be
clearly understood that this Is only in
cases in which the plate is outmatched
by the bullet. As the chief objection
to the bullet is that it will not do the
work of an armor-piercing projectile,
the objection can stand, says a prom
inent ordnance authority, and, as the
Tweedie bullet possesses almost all of
the qualities required, it seems very
probable that extensive experiments
will be made to prove its superiority to
other small-arm bullets in use to-day.
SHOOTING IN TEXAS.
Mot Indulged In So Promiscuously as l'an
ple Have lleen Led to I maglna.
It is generally believed by the outside
world that the Texan carries his life in
his hip pocket. This is a mistake, sayi
a letter to the Philadelphia North
American. Our most facile shooters
carry their revolvers just under the left
arm. The real artist knows the minute
differences in shooting "on the rise"
and "on the drop." The technique mas
tered, the cause for net ion claims atten
tion. Any assault upon the fair name
of woman is almost certain to be fol
lowed by sudden dentil. 1'or such causes
as this one must shoot. Imputations
upon one's veracity or honesty, family
feuds, quarrels and drunken brawls
cause the, remainder of the homicides.
For such causes as these one may shoot.
Men shoot each other in Texas on
lesser ground than this, but they do not
.hoot on such slight provocation as the
tenderfoot has been led to believe.
They do not sluwit visitors for wearing
a stiff hat, for refusing to drink, nor
for continually referring to the better
things "back cast." I have never lived
among a people who were as indifferent
to the peculiarities of strangers or re
cent immigrants. However, the Canni
bal islands are no more da ngerous fields
for the missionary than is Texas for the
airy, aggressive prig who insists on re
forming us to hisstumhirdsoutof hand.
I have known several men in Texas
who have killed their man; a few w ho
have killed two or three. Some of them
were boasters, who. after their trage
dies, degenerated into bravos; others
were high-minded, high-spirited gen
tlemen who hail killed some bully for
mortal offense or as a defense from
deadly assault, and who' bore the agony
of the tragedy in humility unit silence.
Homicide hardens and wrecks the
tough; it saddens and overwhelms the
gentleman. As a means of securing
justice between men it is least satis
factory of all known methods. It is the
poorest kind of test, of righteousness.
The villain is often a cooler hand anil
better marksman than injured virtue,
to that the avenger often meeta tha
loom the betrayer deserves.
