PRIZES ON PATENTS.
How to Get Twentv-five Hundred
Dollars for Nothing.
The Winner has a clear Gift 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 tt would
like to handle thousands more. There Is plenty
of inventive talleiit at large In this country
needing nothiug but encouragement to produce
practical results. That encouragement the Press
Claims Company propose to give.
NUT SO HAI1D AM IT KEE.V1M.
A patent strikes most people as an appalling
ly formidable thing. The idea is that an in
ventor must be a natural geulus, like Edison or
Bell ; that 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 dispel. It desires to get Into
the head of the public a ciear 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 ashamed of bringing them to the
attention of the Patent OfUce.
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
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
VALVABI.F..
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
frictious 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 Buch a way."
What was the man who made the saucepau
thinking of?" grumbles the cook. "Ho never
had to work over a stove, or he would have
kuown how it ought to have been fixed."
"Hang such a collar button!" growls aman
who is late' for breakfast., "If I were In the
buslue8s I'd make buttuiisUhat wouldn't slip
out, or break off, or gouge out the back of my
peck Vi - : . ' v "
And tne vailous sutf'erers Wgot 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 tben 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 OFFLK.
To induce the people to keep trackiof their

t will also advertise the Inven
tion free of charge.
This offer la subject to the following condi
tions:
Every competitor must obtaiu a patent for
his invention through the company. He must
lirstapply for a preliminary search, the cost of
which will be Ave dollars. Should this
seach show his invention to be unpatentable,
he can withdraw without further expeusc.
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 seventy
dollars. For this, whether he secures a prize
or uot, 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 Wasliihg

competition for the Twenty-five hundred Dollar
Prize offered by the Press Claims Company."
NO BLANKS IN THIS COMPKTIOI.
This is a competition of rather an uuusal na-
tu-e. It is common to otter prizes lor tne oesi
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, andf he one who helps him 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 occept
ed has spent his labor on something of very
ittleuse to him. But the person who patents a
simple and useful device Insthe Press Claims
Company's competition, need not worry if he
fail to secure a prize. He has a substantial
result to show mr ms worn one that wil
command its value in the market at any

How People Hie.
A French medical journal, quoted In
the London News, has arrived at the
conclusion that the annual mortality of
the entire human race amounts, rough
ly speaking, to 3,000,000 persons. This,
It is observed, implies that the average
deaths per day are over 1)1,000, being at
the rate of 3,730 an hour. The notion
of 02 people dying every minute of the
day and night all the year round pre
sents our death statistics perhaps in the
most lugubrious aspect that is possible.
Pursuing his cheerful researches this
authority finds that a fourth of the race
die before completing their Sth year
and one-half before the end of the 17th
year; but tho average duration of life
Is nevertheless about 38 years. Further
