PATENTS!
NOTICE TO INVENTORS.
Tbere was never a time in the hintory
r.t our coantry when the demand for
inventions and improvements in the arts
Bod sciences generally was so great as
ijow. The conveniences of mpukind in
the factory and workshop, the household
and on the farm, as well as in official
life, require oontinuai accessions to the
appurtenance ana impliments of each
in order to save labor, time and expense.
The political change in the administra
tion of government does not affeot the
progress of the American inventor, who
baing on the alert, and ready to per-
eoive the existing deficiencies, does not
permit the affairs of government to de
tor bim from quickly conceiving the
remedy to overcome existing diacrepan
cieB. 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
ment 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 the breadth
and etrength of the patent is never con-
eidered in view of a quick endeavor to
get an allowance and obtain the fee.

ANTS AGAINST SNAKE.

"While camping in Alahama during

man, of Dayton, O., the other day,
according to the Kt. Louis Globe-Democrat,
"I witnessed an attack of a band
of black ants upon a striped snake.
"One evening while I was trying to
go to sleep after a long day's march I
felt something move under my head. I
lifted one corner of the blanket and
found a snake between three aud four
feet in length. I quickly hit it with a
small stick, but the reptile seemed
hardly stunned by the blow, so I picked
it up on the end of the stick and threw
it about fifteen feet away. The snake
landed on a large ant hill. Almost in
stantly the ants poured forth from
their nest, which was underneath, and
began a vigorous attack upon the in
truder, who was soon covered by scores
of his assailants, biting him fearfully.
The battle raged with fury, the snake
writhing about in torture.
"The contest at first seemed an une
qual one, for the snake was rapidly
thinning out his persecutors, but, on
the other hand, the ants were very
numerous and quick in their aggressive
movements. The snake with one blow of
his tail would kill or wound a long line
of ants, but the active little creatures
were soon reinforced by fresh troops
and fought with a desperation wonder
ful to behold. I was astonished be
yond measure to see the tactics of the
nuts. When they saw their numbers
were being lessened they dispatched
couriers for fresh relays of soldiers,
who nppeared on the scene in due time
to replace the killed or wounded.
"The moon after a time lit up the
scene, but as there appeared no near
termination of the struggle I gave up
watching it, and, stretching myself
again on my blanket, went to sleep,
ltefore striking tents the next morning
I went to look at the battle ground.
The slain insects were scattered in
every direction, but there were six or
seven watchful ants upon the back of
the snake, which lay stretched out
dead near the ant hill."
PUN WITH SEA TURTLES.
A School of Them That Covered the Sea
for Many Miles.
"I am reminded." said nn old coasting
captain to a Washington Star man re
cently, "of an experience I once had
with sea turtles on the edge of the
gulf stream, about sixty miles froiu
llatterus. I was part owner and cap
tain of the Mary Lyle at that time,
ami was coming up from Savannah
with a half cargo of rice when one
morning the outlook yelled to me to
come up on deck and look at the sea
turtles. When I got up and looked
over the rail the whole ocean as far as
I could see ahead of us was covered
with turtles. They were tremendous
fellows aud were paddling along lazily
iu the opposite direction to that in
which we were going.
"It didn't take us long to rig p a
windlass aud tackle and begin pulling
some of the old fellows aboard. We
I picked the biggest as they came aud in
the course of three hours we had
caught twenty-six, about all that we
could handily dispose of about the
ship. Only nine of them lived until
we reached New York and we sold
them for good prices. The shell of one
that weighed four hundred and seven
ty pounds is now in New York. I
would hate to say how many turtles
were in sight of the Mary Lyle that
day for fear somebody might think I
was fish-yarning, but they came by us
steadily for five hours and when we
got well into the school it extended as
far as the eye could reach on all sides,
and tkere was a turtle to about every
forty square feet of water and I didn t
see one that weighed less than one
hundred and fifty pounds."
DISLIKED REPORTERS.
Lord Bandolph Churchill Would Not lie
Interviewed.
The Canadian Gazette confirms the
opinion that Lord Randolph Churchill
is not enamored of reporters, says the
Westminster Gazette. A Montreal
journalist who, during his lordship's
recent visit there, endeavored to ob
tain his views on public questions, was
answered thus: "If I express my
views I shall only annoy you. I don't
want to annoy you. I have annoyed
enough people." Asked as to how he
liked Montreal, his lordship's observa
tions were equipoised between the
complimentary and the uncomplimen
tary. But he was pointed in praise of
the Windsor and Dominion square.
"What does your lordship think of the
value of the colonial conference?''
asked the reporter. "Nothing. Nobody
does. Same as any other political
farce. All nonsense," was the reply.
"I am afraid you are rather conical,
Lord Randolph," said the reporter, and
Lord Randolph remarked: "Yes, every
sensible man is nowadays." When at
Winnipeg on his way to the coast it
seems that Lord Randolph Churchill
gave local reporters a reception in
comparison with which his treatment
of Montreal journalists was quite
genial. An interviewer who asked hit
"illustrious subject if he could have
five minutes' conversation was met
with the reply: "No, you can't. I
never see reporters; it's years since I
talked to one; they annoy me very
much. Please go away."
A Fish with GUU and Lungs.
The academy of natural science has
just come into possession of a rare fish,
which can boast of a pair of lungs in
addition to the gills with which alone
less favored fish are endured. The ne
cessity of these two sets of breathing
apparatus is readily seen when the
habits of the animal are known. In
Africa, where the fish lives, it inhabits
lakes and ponds, which are often com
pletely dried up during the dry season.
As long as the water remains the
lung fish lives as do the other members
of the finny tribe, and breathes by
means of his gills; but when the ponds
dry up he burrows down into the
mud and makes a round nest, where he
lives in a semitorpid condition, breath
ing by means of his lungs, until the
rainy season releases him again.
MASKED BEKORE MARRIAGE.
A Feminine rnllinx Which Is Often the
Caune of l'OHt-Nuptlul Misery.
There is no doubt that a great deal
of the unhappiness of married life
arises from the fact that when a man
is courting a girl he only sees her "at
her best," both as regards temper,
looks and everything else. After mar
riage he is rudely disillusioned and
vaguely wonders whether this snappy
young woman with untidy hair and
perhaps a shine on her nose can be
the sweet-tempered, faultlessly-dressed,
lovely Angelina of a few months ago.
Yes, young man, says the New York
Advertiser, she is Angelina right
enough, only she has, so to say,
thrown off her mask, now she has
"got you," and appears in her true
colors, which are not quite of so fas
cinating .a hue as those that dazzlud
your lovesick eyes in the courting
period. It is nearly every girl's am
bition to get married. She lays her
self out to do so, and any little artifice
that will enhance her natural charms
she has no hesitation in using. She
dresses for effect, she poses for effect,
she talks for effect, in fact, during this
stage of her life she is acting for
every woman is more or less of an
actress and it must be confessed that,
generally speaking, she acts her part
very well.
After all, it is only natural that she
should try to appear at her best and
endeavor to captivate mankind, for
marriage is the be-all and end-all of a
society girl's existence. The worst of
it is that she cannot keep this up after
marriage. It would bo too gruat a
strain both physically and mentally.
As it is, heaven only knows what she
goes through during the anxious time
when she is angling for a fish, especial
ly if it be a gold fish. She moMs her
self to his likes and dislikes, and out
rages her own feelings, until the little
golden band on her fingers allows her
to breathe freely and declare that
"Though ho likes living in the coun
try, she detests it, and does not intend
to live there." Mr. Neuwed is startled
and astonished. This is open rebellion.
Yet when he was courting her she ap
peared such a meek, gentle creature, as
to have no wish or will of hur own,
quite content to follow in his lordship's
footsteps. "What a fool I was to get
married," he mentally exclaims, and
then in all probability the bickering
begins that renders married life one
long misery. Perhaps it now dawns
on Mr. Neuwed that when he was
courting her she was at her best.
A word to men. When you are court
ing a girl remembor she is at her best
in every respect, and that she cannot
possibly always keep up this high
standard after marriage; so grasp the
fact that you are not going to marry
an angel, but a human being with many
faults, perhaps as many as you possess
yourself.

BANKED HIS SURPLUS.
Pet Dog- Whose Intelligence Seemed
Really Incompreltrnrtihle.
The grandfather of Mr. Cv.-on. of the
Jhicago bar, who r- si Id in the Old
Ooruinion, was, uccordi:: to l'io Chica
go Herald, tho owner of n '! )" v.-Iiose
agacity would seem to cr.titlo him to
i place in canine history. Bruno had
jeen trained to do tho f:::r.il;.r Tinrkct
ng. Each day he cai'rie.l I ill village
micher's a basket containing liii Mas
ter's order and a penny with which to
jurchase meat for himself. To show off
Bruno's talent hia kind master often
rave him pennies at other timos than
;he marketing hour, which tlio dog
nado hasto to deposit upon the block of
ais friend, the butcher. Owinu' i tho
frequency of these gifts and the :,".eral
serving of the knight of the cleaver
Bruno often had a surplus of provisions,
which, like all provident dogs, ho buried
,n the garden. There were many curs
.n the neighborhood which, though lack
.ng our hero's sagacity, were possessed
)f equally sharp noses and good stom
ichs. These were not long in locating
Bruno's cache and appropriating its con
tents, inconsequence of which he often
went supperless to his kennel.
One day tho old gentleman had been
boasting to a friend of the rare gifts pos
sessed by his dog, and gave him a penny
to furnish ocular proof of tho same. At
tho door of the meat market the animal
paused, bent hia head as if engaged in a
veritable brown study, and then, to the
jtter discomfiture of his watching mas
ter and the secret delight of his doubt
'.ng friend, trotted home with tho penny
.n his mouth. The two spies hastened
lfter the dog, and entoring the garden
liscovered him in tho act of burying tho
join in the ground. All that afternoon
;he old gentleman and his friend
watched with tho eagorness of children
;he canine bank of deposit. Toward
svening thoir patience was rewarded by
,ho appearanco of tho animal, who dug
lp the penny and hastened to exchange
t for meat whereon to make his supper.
Mind had triumphed, and ever after
vard Bruno banked his surplus coin and
lought moat as his appotito demanded.

WOMAN'S ODDITIES.
She Always Heems to Lose Her Aploml
In an Otltoe Down Town.
The utter helplessness of most women
when brought into contact with the ac
tive business world is often amusing
and always interesting, says the New
York Herald. When a woman comes
into one of the great oflice buildings
down town in search of somebody oi
something she is usually at once de
prived of what common sense she may
ordinarily keep in stock.
The probability is that she will in.
quire of the first person she meets
whether Mr. Somebody has an office
there. This person may bo an utter
stranger to tlie city. If he isn't he will
refer her to the bulletin or to the jani
tor or the elevator man.
Now the bulletin may possibly con
tain 100 or 200 names and may be spread
all over the walls of the corridor, or
posted up alphabetically in the dark el
evator. In any case it is confusing to a
woman not familiar with the scheme.
She may see half a dozen uniformed
men and boys rushing about, but can't
tell an elevator man or assistant janitor
from a district messenger or telegraph
boy.
She will get off at the wrong floor,
get lost in the halls, get into ever so
many W-rong offices, and finally arrive
at her destination in a white heat of
worry. What strikes her as the most
remarkable thing about it all is that
nobody seems to know anything about
anybody else.
Men may occupy an office in one of
these buildings for years and know
nothing whatever of their next door
neighbors. And what strikes the office
men and every body connected with an
office building as most remarkable is
the fact that women, as a rule, are ut
terly oblivious to signs.
They will go directly past the plain
gold lettering that announces men and
business, and inquire in the very next
room.
A woman can find anything in a bu--eau
drawer or at the bottom of a trunk
by instinct, which is more than a man
can do. But she soars above signs.
IN THE REGULAR ARMY.
Certain Things Which Detract from the
Delights of a Martial Career.
The young man who enlists in the
regular army with the idea that he is
going to have a fine time soon awakes
to the fact that he is not on a picnic,
says Texas Sittings. If he has drawn
pictures of how he will chase the lurk
ing red man and rescue young maidens
from the relentless uplifted tomahawk
he is going to suffer disappointment.
The young maidens keep out of the way
of the savages and he is kept out of the
way of tho young maidens.
Life at a frontier post is about as
humdrum as it can be out of the state's
prison, except, of course, when there is
an Indian uprising on hand; then it's
business, and the meanest kind of busi
ness at that. If a force is sent out to
bring in to the reservation a band of
raiders, it may mean a few hours or it
may mean days of hard riding and suf
fering all sorts of inconveniences. No
one can tell when the start is made
when thoy will so" headquarters again.
If the start is made iu haste in response
to an alarm the poor soldiers may suf
fer for days anil days without their
tooth or nail brush, aud perhaps not
see a china wash-bowl or Turkish towel
until they return to the fort. When on
the mar-Mi after Indians the unfeeling
savage purposely selects a route on
which there are no first-class hotels,
and the soldiers are compelled to put
up with the most primitive sleeping ac
commodations and bar service, snatch
ing a bite of something to eat whenever
and wherever they can without the lux
ury of finger-bowls. Then again the
officers have a way of ordering the men
around, making them keep in line when
drilling, and do sentry and picket duty,
either of which are trying, especially at
night, to young men accustomed to
sleep on feathers. For a young fellow
made of the right stuff the regular
army is all right, but romantic dudes
want to keep just as far away from it
as they can, if they know when thej
are well off. -L "
