PATENTS!
NOTICE TO INVENTORS.
There was never a time in the history
of our country when the demand for
inventions and improvements in the arts
and sciences generally was bo great as
now. The conveniences of mpkind in
the factory and workshop, the household
and on the farm, as well as in official
life, require continual accessions to the
appurtenance and impliments of each
in order to save labor, time and expense.
The political change in the administra
tion of government does not affect the
progress of the American inventor, who
being on the alert, and ready to per
ceive the existing deficiencies, does not
permit the affairs of government to de
ter bim from quickly oouoeiving the
remedy to overcome existing discrepan
cies. Too great care cannot be exer
cised in choosing a competent and skill
ful attorney to prepare and prosecute
an application for patent. Valuable in
terests have been lost and destroyed in
innumerable instances by the employ
meat of incompetent counsel, and es
pecially is this advice applicable to
those who adopt the "No patent, no
pay" Bvstem. Inventors who entrust
their business to this olasa of attorneys
do so at imminent risk, as the breadth
and strength of the patent is never con
eidered in view of a quick endeavor to
get an allowance and obtain the fee,

II r. Gladstone, in one of his chats with
Chauncey M. Depew, said that he was
inclined to the belief that all in all per
haps the greatest man since Martin
Luther w:is George Washington, and
the great English statesman went on to
explain what he meant by this charac
terization. He did not regard Washing
ton as intellectually possessed of such
genius as any one of half a dozen men
whom he could name. His military
genius is undisputed, although of course
it is hardly fair to compare it with that
displayed by John Churchill or Napoleon
or Wellington. Judged simply by re
sults, it was as great as the victories of
any of these men, since it led to the es
tablishment of a nation destined to be
pre-eminent in the nations of the world.
Every one who has studied the mill
tary movements of the Revolution on
both sides is aware that Washington
was very greatly helped by the distrac
tions which existed in Great Britain and
which made it impossible to concentrate
Its efforts in the American colonies.
What the result would have been had
Great Britain sent a Wellington com
manding a great British army in case he
and Washington joined in battle no man
can say.
Yet Mr. Gladstone thought that in
some respects Washington stood the
greatest tests. His so called Fabian
policy, which consisted in extraordi-

narily skillful avoidance of battle when
defeat would have been almost certain
and when it required strategy of the
highest order to avoid it, was carried
out with the patience and the conviction
of genius. His retreat after the battle
of Long Island was of itself, in Glad
stone's opinion, sufficient evidence of
great military ability to justify his ap
pointment as commander in chief of the
American armies.
But it was not in respect of military
quality that Mr. Gladstone regarded
Washington as so pre-eminently great.
It was in the perfect balance of all his
greater moral and intellectual qualities
that this pre-eminence lay. His patience,
according to Mr. Gladstone, was some
thing exceeding that of any other man
who achieved greatness, for it was pa
tience nnder extraordinary irritations,
and patience exercised for no personal
ambition, but simply for the cause.
His conception of what the govern
ment which he was seeking to establish
should be was quite as distinct and com
prehensive as that of Hamilton, Jay,
Madison or Jefferson, although he prob
ably could not have set forth in legal ar
gument as they did the reasons for that
conception. They were admirably set
forth in his messages, and especially in
his farewell address, although there are
indications that some of the messages
were written by Hamilton, while the
farewell address was unquestionably
written by Livingston, although some
writers believe that Madison wrote it
But if the phraseology was that of the
secretary the ideas were those of Wash
ington, and he undoubtedly set them
forth to his secretaries, asking them, who
were more familiar with the literary use
of the pen than he, to put them in fitting
language.
Mr. Gladstone regards the finest
triumph of noble, unselfish, patriotic
and majestic impulse to be illustrated
by one brief incident in Washington'
career. When Washington refused the
crown, then the world had the finest ex
emplification of a noble, majestic nature.
The inqident is not aa familiar ae it

Washington captured Cornwallis, made
a brilliant retreat after the battle of Long
Island and worried and fretted the Brit
ish armies into exhaustion during a seven
years' war. They also know that he was
president twice and declined to become
president a third time. There are not

were men who were fearful that the am
bitions and jealousies of some of those
who had been of influence during the
Revolution would lead thetu to attempt
to gain great personal power. Ther
were others who believed that as a result
of the victory there would be established
In America a constitutional monarchy

The nation as we now know it was a
government yet to be creaU-d.
So a company of officers men having
influence - having talked this mattei
jver. agreetl to go to Washington, ask
hiui to accept the crown of empire and
to promise him the support of the arm
in establishing thus a personal inroue.
When they approached him Washington
believed that these officers and friends of
his had come upon some such errand ae
led them often to seek him for counsel.
He was in a happy frame of mind that
morning. The war was ended victori
ously, and he had already been in con
sultation with Hamilton and some others
respecting the form of civil government
which the now free colonies should un
dertake. They offered bim the crown in but a
emgle sentence. A few sft'ears before.
across the river, Washington, being seat
ed at breakfast, had been approached by
an officer, who said to him that Benedict
Arnold had fled after an attempt to be
tray West Point into the hands of the
British. The news was appalling and to
Washington must have been extraordi
narily painful, since for Arnold he had a
personal affection which he bestowed
upon only two or three of his other offi
cers. Yet so great was his self command.
so superb his capacity for suppressing
emotion, so thoroughly had be schooled
himself to face adversity with calmness,
that those about him only saw a look of
aad sternness come to his countenance as
he uttered the now historic words,
"Whom can we now trust?"
But when these officers proposed to
him the empire and tried to put the
scepter in his hand Washington broke
down. There was sorrow and there was
anger in his countenance and in his man-

ner. Tears came to his eyes, and when
be dismissed them with a sad gesture and
only a brief word these men realized
that Washington had been shocked and
grieved that it could have entered into
their hearts that he for one moment could
have regarded an empire as possible or
could have fought through those seven
years that he might himself attain the
throne.
In that action Washington not only re
pealed his morai greatness, but, accord
ing to the opinion of Mr. Gladstone and
other great English thinkers who have
studied his life, made it impossible that
a monarchy could ever be established in
the United States.
Carlyle. who had no great opinion of
the American Revolution, believing, if
his private talks with Americans ivhom
he met have been correctly reported, that
it was little more than a guerrilla war
fare, nevertheless has said that this half
sorrowful, half angry and contemptuous
repulse to those who were bringing to
him a crown was something greater than
the command of the American armies
through seven years to ultimate victory.
It was an act that Europeans could not
understand.
Bonaparte was always inclined to be
lieve the story purely apocryphal, al
though he was a great admirer of
Washington and paid a higher tribute to
his military genius than some other
great captains have done. But it was
incomprehensible to Bonaparte that a
man should have conducted a prolonged
warfare to success without any idea of
personal aggrandizement, and, moreover,
Btinaparte himself had no conception
whatever of any other form of republic
an government than that hideous night
mare which followed the French revolu
tion.
Washington's greatness was impressed
npon some of the great men of the times
in which he lived even before the world
understood his victories, and there are
some anecdotes traditionary respecting
bis relations with two of the ablest men
of the Revolutionary period which have
not become threadbare by constant repe
tition, and which illustrate this impres
sion of greatness which he gave to hii
contemporaries.
Two of the ablest men produced by
the Revolutionary era were Jonathan
Trumbull and Benedict Arnold. They
were both natives of eastern Connecti
cut Arnold was born only a few miles
from Trumbull's home. Trumbull was
a man of great piety, splendid executive
capacity and possessed in the highest de
gree the qualities of statemanship. Ar
nold was intellectually brilliant, but
even in childhood had revealed deficient
moral quality. He would have made a
great business man, and was in fact em-

barked on such a career when the guns at
Lexington brought him into the field.
Trumbull, who was governor of the
Connecticut colony, greatly admired Ar
nold s euergy in getting his company to
gether within an hour after the messen
ger brought the news of Lexington, and
at the bayonet's point demanding pow
der from the hesitating New Haven au
thorities, and then, equipped, leading
them in the march across country to
Boston. It was Trumbull who advised
Washington of this exploit, so that
Washington became early impressed
with Arnold's military ardor and ability.
Arnold s achievement in taking an
army across the wilds of Maine to Que
bec, which has been likened bv some
writers to the marches of Senophon or
Hannibal, gained tor him the warmest
friendship of Washington.
Arnold's letters show that the oulv
man in Revolutionary times for whom
he felt either fear or respect was Wash
ington. In ashiugtou'a presence Ar
nold was subdued, gracious and respect
ful, ome oj ms letters indicate that be
bad for Washington a feeling he had for
no other man, something of affection,
and it was apparent to those who studied
the life of Arnold that the only person
before whom he stood tamed and whose
authority he cheerfully acknowledged
was Washington. That indicates some
thing of that great moral quality which
led Mr. Gladstone to speak of Washing
ton as perhaps the greatest man since
Luther. When he was contemplating
his awful treachery the only thought
that gave Arnold pain was that Washing
ton would suffer. For the rest he cared
not one jot.
Trumbull, although not so conspicuous
in the agitations which led to the revolt
of the colonies as Sam Adams or John
Hancock or Roger Sherman or Thomas
Jefferson, was nevertheless regarded by
Washington as the strongest friend that
he had to lean upon, ft is pnpbable that
he revealed more of his confidences to
Trumbull than to any other man. They
were something alike in their moral qual
ities, although Trumbull was of Puri
tanic piety, while Washington was not,
though each of them was a religious
man.
Some fifty years ago the Hon. Learned
Hebard was appointed executor of the
estate of William Williams, who was a
grandson of Jonathan Trumbull, and
whose father was one of the signers of
the Declaration of Independence. In the
settlement of the estate Judge Hebard
came across a vast amount of corre
spondence, including letters which passed
between Washington and Governor
Trumbull. Some of these letters were
formal business documents; others werf
of a more confidential nature. They re
vealed on the part of Washington a free
dom from reserve which none of his
other correspondence shows. One or two
of them contained that term which
Washington publicly applied to Gov
ernor Trumbull, and which for many
years was regarded as a nickname for the
American nation, "Brother Jonathan."
Some of Trumbull's correspondence
was also found, which shows that this
man of geniuB and clear intellect, a man
born to lie of authority himself, had
recognized in Washington that quality
of greatness early in the time of the
Revolution and before he had demon
strated it tcf the world. Trumbull's let
tors, while not extravagant, for he was
not the man to use extravagant terms,
Indicate that Trumbull regarded Wash
ington as having been specially furnished
by Providence with those greater quali
ties, not only military, but moral, which
were necessary to establish the Ameri
can nation. He had almost the feeling
for Washington which Arnold had, al
though in his case there was personal in
timacy and almost an equality of rela
tion which probably no other man of the
Revolution enjoyed.
Thus the impression and influence
which Washington created and exerted
npon these two men one of brilliant
ability, but morally bad; the other of in
tellectual and moral integrity and of
statesmanlike quality suggest how it
was that to men of all quality the im
pression that he gave was that of great
ness, exactly as to the greatest intellects
of this day, like Gladstone's, the same im
pression has been given by a study of
his life. E. Jay Edwards.
OUTSTRIPPING THE WIND.
An Illustration of How a Yncht May Ac.
comptlsli This li'oat.
Every yachtsman knows that a ship
can sail faster than the wind: that is
to say, if the wind is blowing ten
knots an hour, a ship may be making
twelve or fifteen knots an hour. Now,
it is obvious that if the ship is sailing
straight before the wind it cannot, at
the utmost, travel faster than the
wind itself is blowing as a matter of
fact, it will travel much more slowly.
If, on the other hand, the ship is sail
ing at an angle with the wind, it
seems at first sight that the wind must
act with less effect than before, but as
matter of fact the ship not only
sails more quickly than before, but
more quickly than the wind it
self is blowing. Let us consider the
difficulty in the light of the following
experiment: Place a ball at one side
of the billiard table, and with the cue,
not heid in the ordinary manner, but
lengthwise from end to end of the ta
ble, shove the ball across thR cloth.
The cue here represents the wind, and
the ball the ship sailing directly before
it; the ball of course travels at the
same rate as the cue. Now, suppose a
groove in which the ball may roll be
cut diagonally across the table from
one corner pocket-to the other. If the
ball be now placad at one end of the
groove ayid the cue held horizontally,
parallel with the long sides and moved
forward across the width of the table
as before, the ball will travel along
the groove (and along the cue) diag
onally across the table in the same
time as the cue takes to move across
the width of the table. This is the
case of the ship sailing at an angle
with the direction of the wind. The
groove is considerably longer than the
width of the table, more than double
as long, in fact. The ball, therefore,
travels much faster than the cue which
impels it, since it covers more than
double the distance in the same time.
It is in precisely the same manner
that a tacking ship is enabled to sail
faster than the wind.
A SHIPWRECKED CREW.
The Terrible Night unit Day Passed on
the Northern Icebergs.
A sealing brig, immersed in the
densest fog aud driven by the gale,
was running down a narrow lane or
opening in the iee, when the shout of
breake"s ahead and the crash of the
bows upon a reef came iu the same
moment. The crew sprang overboard
upon the heaving ice-field, and almost
immediately saw their strong and
beautiful vessel sink into the ocean.
The adventure is related in: "After
Icebergs with a Painter."
Without food or extra clothing the
forty men were remote from all help.
To the west lay the precipitous shores
of (.ape lionavista. aud for this, the

A UCO'O
Sarsaparilla
M. Hammerly, a well-known business man
Of Hillsboro, Va.( sends this testimony to
the merits of Ayer's Sarsaparilla: "Several
years ago, I hurt my leg, the injury leaving
a sore which led to erysipelas. My sufferings
were extreme, my leg, from the knee to the
ankle, being a solid sore, which began to ex
tend to other parts of the body, After trying
various remedies, I began taking Ayer'i
ISarsaparilla, and, before I had finished the
first bottle. I experienced great relief: the
second bottle effected a complete cure."

wildered and lost in a dreadful cloud
traveling along parallel with the coast,
the poor fellows passed the cape with
out knowing it.
The captain looked back from time
to time on the worn-out and suffering
line of men, the last of them scarcely
visible in the mist, and a thrill of dis
couragement passed over him. Unless
there was some change in their pros
pects, he knew that few of them would
live out another night on the ice. They
had shouted until they were hoarse,
and looked into the endless gray until
they had no heart for looking longer.
Suddenly, just before sundown, they

PECULIARITIES IN MASSAGE.
The Differences of Temperature Caused by
Friction of the Shin.
Light friction of a part reduces sur
face temperature, says the New York
Ledger. In ten experiments on
healthy adults, whose arm-pit tem
peratures on both sides was equal, and
w hose free temperature on the surface
of both forearms was before massage
eighty-eight degrees Fahrenheit or
more, it was found, on subjecting the
left forearm to gentle upward friction,
tiiat, whilst the temperature in both
armpits and in the untouched free sur
face of the opposite limb remained
constant, the temperature of the left
forearm fell in all cases more than
two degress, and in three cases nearly
four degrees. After firm friction,
rollinrr. soneezing and kneading of the
skin of the limb in all cases, the free
cutaneous temperature rose to ninety
five degrees; but the armpit tempera
ture remained the same on both sides
whilst in seven cases an interesting
phenomenon was noticed on the oppo
site side viz., the right limb sensibly
perspired and the free surface tem
perature of ihc untouched forearm fell
to eighty-four degrees durin;,' the timu
that the firm friction of the .'eft limb
was in progress. In regtr.- l to li;jfht
friction, it has been impossible to de
tect any effect on the patients sense, of
locality or on the temperature sense.
After linn friction of a part for live,
minutes comes a decided increase of
the M-nse of touch, and civ. sense of lo
cality has, iu most instances, beon ap
parently improved.
CHINESE PUNISHMENTS.
A Horrible 1'hase nf Justice Among the
Mongoltiing.
In December. 1801. I was iu Canton.
One afternoon I visited the principal
law court. Two prisoners in chains
were introduced one an old man, too
infirm to walk, the other a youth, tol
erably vigorous, but abject and forlorn
in demeanor. The presiding mandarin
appeared, sat down and sipped his tea,
while an official pattered out a long
oration, presumably an indictment,
for the prisoners proceeded, as I un
derstood, to plead "not guilty." What
followed, savs a writer in the Specta
tor, was this: The old man was held
up not held down while two stolid
Chinamen flogged him with long,
pliant canes above the knees. The
youth was divested of his chains,
which were then piled up in front of
him. L'pon these he was compelled to
kneel, while his feet, hands and (jig
tail were all attached by a cord to
a post behind him and tightly secured.
The cries of the victims anil the com
plete composure of the spectators were

my guide, whom 1 generally regarded
as an amiable being. His reply was:
"This very interesting. I never seen
this before," though I have no doubt
he had. The explanation of the dread
ful scene excuse there could be none
was that, bv the law of China, no man
can be executed until he has confessed
his guilt. These two individuals had
been convicted beyond doubt of hein
ous crimes, but they refused to confess.
The alternative before them was exe
cution or death by torture, and appar
ently they preferred the latter. The
ceremony I witnessed was to be re
peated de die in diem until either life
or resolution gave way. How the end
came, of course, I never knew.
Water Level of Two Oceans.
When the Panama canal was first
proposed, there was a great, cry about,
the dangers courted in opening, up
such a "ditch," some extremists de
claring that the "lives of millions of
human beings were at stake." This
general alarm was caused by the argu
ment that the waters on the Pacific
side of the isthmus were hundreds of
feet higher than were those on the At

water to even up the difference in the
level of the two oceans would drown
all Southern America and most of
Mexico and Yucatan. Would-be eu. '
