FT ' - , 'F -rr3h41-r1 1 ) t $ . -f: . . -j ' Tbere was never a time in tbe bis tor of oar coautry when the demand for inventions and improvements in the arts and flcienoes generally was so great as now. The oonveniencee of mpjkind in the factory and workahop. the household and on the farm, a wl an in official I life, require continual accessions to the appurtenance and impliments of each in order to save liibor, time and expenHe. The political chnoge 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 oire cannot be exer- o;ned in choosing a competent and skill ful attorney to prepare and prosecute an application for patent. Valuable in terests have been lout and destroyed in innumerable instnuces by the employ merit 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 tho breadth and strength of the patent is never con sidered in view of a quick endeavor to get an allowance and obtain the fee.

No other river is fed by such gigantic laUes. No other river is ko independent of the elements, savs matures Jiealm. It despises alike rain, snow and sunshinn. I and wind may be said to be the only things mar, aiiect, us miffiuv flow. Something almost as phenomenal as the St. Law rence Itself is the fact that there is so little generally known about it It might be affirmed that not one per cent, of the American public are aware of the fact that among all the great rivers of the world the St. Lawrence is the only absolutely floodless one. Such, however, is the case. The St. Lawrence despises rain and sunshine Its greatest variation caused by drought or rain hardly ever exceeds a foot or fourteen inches. The cause of this almost everlasting sameness of volume is easily understood. The St. Lawrence is fed by the mightiest bod ies of fresh water on earth. Immense as is the volume of water it pours into the ocean, anyone who has traversed all the immense lakes that feed it and for the surplus waters of which it is the only channel to the sea wonders that it is not even more gigantic than it is. Not one drop of the waters of the five great lakes finds its way to the ocean save through this gigantic, extraordinary and wondrously beauti ful river. No wonder, then, that it should despise the rain n,l .v.- sunshine. r,nt9T 9eiaSn the Carl Ros opera com pany made a profit of 810,000, the first in several years. Mme Emma Nevada has been en.
