PATENTS! NOTICK TO INVENTORS. There was nevr a time in tbe bistor of our country when the demand for inventions and improvements in the arte and Bcienoes generally was eo great as now. The conveniences of mpjkind in the faotory aud workshop, the household and on the farm, an wU as in official life, require continual accessions to the appurtenaoce ana impliments of each in order to saye labor, time and expense. The political change in the administra tion of government does not affect the progress of the American inveotor, who being on the alert, and ready to per ceive the existing delioiencies, does not permit the affairs of government to de ter bim from quickly oouoeiviug the remedy to overcome existing discrepan cies. Too great ore cannot be exer- o;fled iu cLoosing a competent and skill ful attorney to prepare and prosecute an application for patent. Valuable in terests have been lost bdq 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" system. Inventors who entrust their business to this class of attorneys do so at imminent risk, as tbe breadth and strength of the patent is never con sidered in view of a quick endeavor to get an allowance and obtain tbe fee. THE PRESS CLAIMS COMPANY, John Wedderburn, General Manager U18 F street, N. W.,Wa8bington, D. C.t repreHenling a large number of impor tant daily und weekly papers, and gen eral periodicals of the eouutry, was in stituted to orotect its patrons from the unsafe methods heretofore employed in this line of business.

VV. F. Coulter, ot McMinnville, weigh ed 10 of his pumpkins one day last week, and they tipped tbe beam at 1200 pounds. On a piece of land 105 feet square be raised eight tons of them. Last year his orop on a little more than an acre amounted to 81,000 pounds. Two hundred men are workibg at tbe upper part of tbe Casoade locks and are making good headway. Tbe gates have all arrived and will be put in as soon as tbe masonry is completed. Arrange ments have been made for keeping tbe masons at work until high water drives them out. The Sloan and Haskell Elk oreek Dla cer miDes in GrBDt county have been sold to J. B. Haggin, of San Franoisoo Included in tbe transfer are the Mocking Bird, Cabell, Blue Bell, Steamboat and other properties. The prioa is $58,000, and operations will be conducted on a large scale. "Doc" Anderson, stage driver between Burns and Soda Springs, was fatally in jured last week by falling from his out fit. The team got beyond bis oontrol wbile going down the mountains into Silvies valley. He was a pioneer of Harney couuty and was aged about 80 years. He leaves no relatives in this country. Norris Humphrey informs tbe Eugene Guard tbat at the present prices he can realize 83500 from bis ,lried prunes, raised on his 25-aore orchard, a few miles north of Eugene, The trees are six years old, and have been thoroughly and intelligently onltivated. His entire oost for drying, pioking and cnltivaticg will probably amount to between $1000 and 81250, leaving the balance as profit. Frank Rein, a one-armed man of Mount Hood, should be given a medal of some kind for his proficienoy in the manly art. Arthur Disbrow, a neighbor, made as though he would thrash Reis, but the one-armed mutt broke bis oollar bt ne with one blow of bis single fist, and bis jaw-bone with another.

Of the daily life of the three eldest imperial princes the Berlin correspon dent of the London News w ites: "The princes, as is very ifneralh mown, are very simply and strictly brought up. Every day, Bnmiw and inter, they get up at 7 o'clo.-. in morning and have breakfast at 7:45 o'clock, con sisting of tea and rolls. The meal never lasts longer than a quarter of an hour. Punctually at 8 o'clock their lessons begin. The crown prince, as well as Princes Fritz and Adelbert, are each taught separately, but for some hours the crown prince and Prince Fritz are taught together. The crown prince, who is most zealous, arm takes all his lessons in earnest, is much further ad vanced than his two brotners. The play hours during; the morning are filled up with gymnastics, games of ball, dig ging, etc., in the playground, near the right wing; of the new palace. At 9:45 they take luncheon sand wiches, claret and natural mineral water, which beverage is much drunk at the imperial table. After lunch they again have lessons for a short time, and then take their riding lessons, either in the riding school in bad weather or in fine weather out of doors. The crown prince, who is an excellent rider, with a firm seat, has lately begun to ride. His white horse, Abdul, which he received on his birth day from the emperor, is a handsome, large Arabian, with a long" tail and thick mane, of faultless build, proud bearing, and a most graceful step. After their riding .lesson they some times take a ride in the neighborhood of the new palace, accompanied by the crown prince's military governor, Maj. von Falkenhayn. Princes Fritz and Adelbert accompany ;he crown prince on their pomes, and li is a pretty sight to see the younger onen trying to keep up with thei ( eider hrt her. They very often take a drive in their pony carriage, the crown prince driving. This little basket carriage is drawn by a white pony, hung all omt with silver bells, and its name is Seehund." RAILROADS IN JAPAN. No Conductor Ever Kutera the Can and the Mew.boy ! Prohibited. The railroads of Japan are solidly constructed and carefully run, says the Philadelphia Telegraph. The gauge is three feet six inches and the cars are generally eighteen feet long. There are first, second and third classes, and the fares are for several classes, one, two and three sen (cents) a mile. The Japanese are great trav elers, and more than nine-tenths of the travel is of second and third class. The rate of speed is uniformly about twenty miles an hour. The trains are run on what is known as the "staff" system, and a train is not al lowed to leave the station where it meets another until the conductor has received from the conductor of the other train a symbol called a "staff" which is his evidence that he is entitled to leave. In the first-class carriage, which is either one room, like our drawing room cars, tr in three compartment like the English, one finds cushioned seats, wash hand bowls and water clos ets, and generally a teapot and cups, the former occasionally replenished with hot water. If this is lacking, the passenger can buy on the platform at any station a teapot full of tea and a cup for two and one-half cents. The teapot is pretty enough to bring a quarter in this country, and the cup would be cheap at ten cents. You buy the whole "outfit" and could carry it away if you pleased. As a rule, the pot and cup are left in the car and about sixty per cent, of them are re covered by the vender. The railroads in Japan are partly owned by the government and partly by private stockholders, but the rates and rules of the government roads govern the others also. At all the stations are overhead bridges, and crossing the track at grade is pro hibited, as in England. The stations are roomy and neat, the platforms ample, and at both ends of the plat form the name of the station is con spicuously posted. The passenger shows his ticket on going through the gate to his train, and surrenders it at the gate on leaving. No conductoren ters the cars. We also miss the famil iar visit of the enterprising young man who sells newspapers and pop ular books, and who loads our seats at home with lozenges, photograph al bums, comic periodicals, vegetable ivory, matches, chewing gum and other merchandise. KEEPING A PRIVATE NOTE BOOK. Employee of Civil Knglneer Are Not Allowed This Privilege. "lie was the best surveyor and draughtsman in my employ," said a well-known civil engineer of this city a few days ago. referring to a man whom he had just discharged. "I dis covered a short time ago that he was keeping a private note book, and, after notifying him that he must stop it, and again learning that he was con tinuing the practice, I was obliged to discharge him." I asked the gentleman to explain what he meant by "keeping a private note book." "A surveyor." said he. "in doing a piece of work makes minutes as he goes along of the lines he runs, of the vari ous points marking the bounds of the lands he is surveying, and all such data as is not only necessary for the drawing of his plans, but also incident ally that which may aid him in the case of any other survey being nunle later on. "This data, you see, really consti tutes a sort of capital or stock in trade, for if the party owning the land ever wishes another survey of it for any purpose he will naturally apply to that same surveyor, who, having these old memoranda, can do tbe work easier and more cheaply than any other sur veyor. Oftentimes, after many years have elapsed and old landmarks have passed away, those minutes become very valuable. "Consequently a civil engineer al ways wishes to keep these in his own hands, and men in his employ are not allowed to make copies of minutes of surveys which they make while in his employ. Otherwise, an old employe, in leaving and setting up in busines for himself, could carry away a large slice of his employer's business. "This is the reason why 1 have dis charged my best employe upon finding that he was persisting in the practice," Rosa Hoxuki b says, in defense of man attire, that she would have missed all chances of success had she had to bM the weiiht .if th siirti UltKT U JrrMif.t THE COCOANUT TREE. It Furnishes Food, Shelter and Employment to Thousanda tome IntereHtlnK Facte Conrrnlnjr. the Bearing or tbe Plant on Planta tions lta Principal Products. This palm does not grow spontane ously on Key West or on any of the other Florida islands, as the violent north winds which often prevail in winter reduce the temperature of southern Florida too low for this heat hiving tree, although when planted and cared for while young it grows to a moderate size on the keys, and some times bears fruit; otherwise the nuts which are cast upon those shores by the gulf stream would have produced plants that would gradually have cov ered them, for it is in this way that the eocoanut has been able gradually to spread over all the sandy coral shores of the tropics of the two worlds. The place of its first homeb uncertain. It was believed by the younger Candolle to have first appeared on some of the islands of the Indian archipelago, whence it was carried either by ocean currents or by man to the southern coast of Asia, east tropical Africa, and to the islands and shores of Pacific tropicul America. Undoubtedly it was brought by man to the West Indies and lira.il after the discovery of America by Europeans, although it has now so spread, through the action of ocean currents or by the agency of man, that it has every appearance of being in digenous on the shores of east tropical America. The eocoanut palm, says Garden and Forest, is a magnificent plant, well named "a prince of the vegetable kingdom," with tall, slender columnar stem eighty or a hundred feet high, and rich pale yellow-green leaves which are thirty or forty feet long, and flutter and rustle with every breath of wind. The eocoanut grows only near the shore, where its roots, penetrating the sandy soil, may drink freely from clear underground springs. Of all trees it is the most useful to man, furnishing food, shelter aud employment to hun dreds of thousands of the human race. In tropical countries, especially in southern India and Malaya, the cocoa nut supplies to whole communities the chief necessities of life. Every part is useful; the roots are considered a rem edy against fevers; from the trunk houses, boats and furniture are made; the leaves furnish the thatch -for houses and the material from which baskets, hats, mats and innumerable other articles are made; the network of fibers at their base is used for sieves and is woven into cloth; from the young flower stalks a palm wine, called toddy, is obtained, from which arrack, a fiery alcoholic drink, is dis tilled. The value of the fruit is well known. From the husk, which is called coir, commercially, cordage, bedding, mats, brushes and other ar ticles are manufactured. In the tropics, lamns. drinltintr vessels and spoons are made from the hard shells. The albumen of the seed contains large quantities of oil, used in the east for cooking and in illuminating; in Europe and the United States it is often made into soap and candles, yielding, after the oil is extracted, a refuse valuable as food for cattle, or as a fertilizer. In some parts of the tropics the kernel of the seed forms the chief food of the inhabitants. The cool, milky fluid which fills the cavity of the fruit when the nut is young affords an agreeable beverage, and the albumen of the young nut, which is soft and jelly like, is nu tritious and of a delicate flavor. As might be expected in the case of a plant of such value, it is often care fully and extensively cultivated in many countries, and numerous vari eties, differing in the size, shape and quality of the fruit, are now known. The eocoanut is propagated by seeds; the nuts are sown in nursery beds, and at the end of six or eight months the seedlings are large enough to plant. The plants are usually set twenty-five feet apart each way in carefully pre pared beds filled with rich surface soil. Once established, a plantation of co coanuts requires little care beyond wa tering, which is necessary in its early years to insure a rapid and vigorous growth. In goo.l soil the trees usually begin to flower at the end of five or six years, and may be expected to be in full bearing iu from eight to twelve years. Thirty nuts from a tree is con sidered a fair average yield, although individual trees have been known to produce an average of three hundred nuts during a period of ten years. An application of manure increases the yield of the trees, although probably the value of the additional crop ob tained in this way is hardly large enough to justify much expenditure. tilafla lllowers. Many attempts have been made to supplant the glass blowers by ma chinery, but up to this time none has attained commercial importance. Either the cost of production has been found to be higher than by the time-honored method or the ware pro duced was not of a quality up to the demands of the market. This is more especially the case in the kinds of bot tles used to contain effervescent drinks, which must be capable of with standing a pressure of several atmos pheres without failure. This, in fact, is the critical point in the automatic manufacture of bottles, since the dif ficulty has always been to obtain a distribution of the glass forming the walls of the bottle as uniform as in the handiwork. The attempt has been made to press the body and bottom separately and to unite the two by fusing them together, but the bottles made in this manner were very heavy and of poor appearance. The bottle machine invented by Ashley, in Eng land, aroused much interest and was much talked of, several companies be ing formed to engage iu bottle manu facture by this method, but none, if they still survive, has succeeded in putting any great amount of ware on the markets of the world. The Lloni in the Moon. We always speak of the lines and spots on the moon's surface as "The man in the moon." but it seems that others have entertained a different opinion. Bishop Wilkins says: "In some countries the figures ou the moon are supposed to b1 t-o liops in draHlr combat; in most Oneofal countries the picture is thought to be that of a single lion, others will only have it to be the picture of a man's face, as the moon is represented. Alhertus thinks that it shows the picture of a lion with his face toward the west and his tail to ward the east.
