PATENTS!
NOTICE TO INVENTORS.
Tbere was never a time In the history
of our country when the demand for
inventions and improvements in the arts
and sciences generally was so great as
now. The conveniences of mankind in
the factory and workshop, the household
and on the farm, as well as in official
life, require continual accessions to the
appurtenance and implimente 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 conceiving 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 lout and destroyed in
innumerable instances by the employ
ment of incompetent counsel, and es
pecially is this advioe 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 strength of the patent is never con
sidered in view of a quick endeavor to
get an allowance and obtain the fee,

"NEST0RS OF THE SENATE.
Members of CongTese Who Have
Served Long Terma
Statesmen Who Have Spent Over a Quar
ter of a Century In the Legis
lative Halls of the
Nation.
While the celebration of the eiphty
fourth birthday of Senator Justin S.
Morrill, who has been aptly called the
'father of congress," is fresh in mind,
it may be of especial interest to recall
the terras of a few other men who have
nearly or quite equaled him in the
length of their public career at Wash
ington, says the Washington Htar.
Senator Morrill, even, cannot sur
pass the senate record of Thomas H.
lienton, the member from Missouri to
the first congress which convened after
that state was admitted to the union,
and who served from October 2, 1820, to
March 4, 1851. He was afterward a
member of the house for two years.
Senator Morrill has been in congress,
however, for thirty-nine years, and in
the senate for twenty-seven. William
Kufus King, who was vice president
under Franklin Pierce, served in the
senate for twenty-nine years, but his
service was not continuous. He began
his first terni in lHV.i and ended his last
in 1853. Henry 11. Anthony, of Rhode
Island, had he lived to see the end of
his last term, would have equaled the
record of Mr. Morrill. He was elected
five times, but only served a year and
a half of his last term. He died in
1884. Hannibal Hamlin, of Maine,
comes next in point of length of serv
ice. Practically he was in the senate
continuously from 1848 to 18(15. Four
years of this time was as vice president
under Lincoln, when he was presiding
officer. Mr. Hamlin was elected to the
upper house iu 8fiU again, so that his
service in thut body was twenty-eight
years and six months, and he had been
six years in the house before his first
senatorial election. It is true he re
signed from the senate in 1857 to be
come governor of Maine, but he re
turned in less than three months to his
seat in congress.
Among the Massachusetts senators
Charles Sumner has first place for
length of continuous service. In March,
1851, he took his seat, and was there
when he died, in 1874; Senator Sherman
has the congressional record next
best to Mr. Morrill's. Had it
not been for the break in his
term, when he was secretary of the
treasury under President Hayes, he
would have been in continuous service
exactly the same length of time as the
senator from Vermont. Senator Mor
rill, it will be remembered, refused a
cabinet position under the Hayes ad
ministration. Mr. Sherman has served
twenty-nine years in the senate. Mr.
Allison, of Iowa, has been in congress
thirty-one years, of which time twenty-one
have been in the upper chamber;
Mr. Allison is six years the junior of
Senator Sherman and eighteen years
younger than Vermont's veteran. Mr.
Harris, of Tennessee, was in con
gress six years before Senator Morrill,
but his terms have not been continu
ous, and in point of congressional ex
perience he stands but number ten to
day. There are two other senators
who have served continuously for more
than twenty years. They are John
(laillard, of South Carolina, whose term
began in 1804 and ended in 1820, and N.
It. Knight, of Rhode Island, who served
from 1821 to 1841.
It is a remarkable fact that no man
ever served thirty years in the house of
representatives. J udge Ivelley, of Penn
sylvania, was in his thirtieth year there
when he died. When Mr. O'Neil, of
Pennsylvania, died he had served al
most twenty-nine years. He was once
told by Mr. llolman that he was so
strong he would beat his record and
serve his thirty years, but he did not.
If Mr. llolman serves out his present
term, however, he will have beaten the
record. He has met with the house for
twenty-nine years.

What the Little Girl dot for Kindness to
an Old Woman.
An interesting story comes from
Soho, says the Leeds (England) Mer
cury. Some time ago an old woman
named Sarah Edwards, who lived for
some years in humble lodgings in (Jer
rard street, Soho, called to her a little
girl named Mary Gordon, who had per
formed various kindly offices for her.
After asking for and receiving a kiss
from the child the old lady said to her:
"You have been very kind and at
tentive to me, and I will make you a
present." The little one no doubt ex-
pected sixpence at the least, but all
she received was a very dirty, greasy
bit of ; paper. She was somewhat duv
appointed, but placed the paper among
her other little possessions and thought
no more of the matter until the fol
lowing morning, when she heard that
her old friend was dead. She then be
thought her of the peculiar gift and
handed it to her father. He, a mechanic
working in Long Acre, recognized it as
a nfty-pouud sterling bank note, but,
owing to its tattefed condition, de
cided to consult a solicitor before at
tempting to cash it. The solicitor's
clerk, with some difficulty and paste,
joined the disunited parts. He then
presented the note at the Hank of Eng

A Clever Stratagem.
Once during the Iron Duke's cam

that Gen. Picton's dispositions for re
ceiving the assault of Marshal Soult
displeased him. The danger threat
ened from in front, and the difficulty
lay in delaying the attack until Well
ington could effect the change he
wished. He was, as usual, equal to
the occasion, avmg his hat in the
air he galloped to the front of a regi
ment as if he meant to order a charge.
The whole of Picton's line cheered tre
mendously, and as the roar died awav
Wellington was heard to remark, haif
to himself: "Soult is a cautious com
mander and will not attack in force
without ascertaining the meaning of
these cheers. That will leave time for
tho Sixth division to come up, and we
shall beat him." This was exuetly
what happened, and Soult sustained a

HAVE NEVER BhEN CONQUERED.
The Heroic Basques and Their Many Des
perate War. with Invaders.
Hut these people of Spain, and yet
not Spaniards, who are they? Models of
ancient manners, untainted by time, so
marked, so separate as distinct in
racial characteristics from their near
est neighbors as from the most remote
so rooted to this soil, how shall wc
account for them? Velasco, their own
historian, gravelyraces their descent di
rectly from Tubal-Cain, says the Cosmo
politan. Humboldt calls them Celt-Iberians.
Theory on theory, each one dis
proving the last with equal learning,
has been advanced to account for this
phenomenon. Nothing now seems
more probable than that they are a
remnant of the troglodytes of the age
of stone, the same with the men whose
bones are found in the caverns of the
Alps and Pyrenees, beside those of the
huge animals they hunted. In this
case their unwritten history dates from
twenty centuries before the Christian
era.
There are confused Basque traditions
of the coming of the Phoenicians to
their mountains, and the earliest Ro
man writers have painted in glowing
colors the noble bearing, patriarchal
customs and wise old laws the Phoeni
cians found there. They discovered the
gold and silver mines and vanished
away in their great star-guided ships.
Wars and dissensions followed; then
Bilence again till Cresar came. His
lieutenant Crassus reduced Spain to a
Roman province, but Cassar says: "A
few petty people higher up in the
mountains did not make their submis
sion and sent hostages." Roman
poets expand the picture and describe
the Iberians, as they named the
Basques, as objects of terror to all the
world, whom neither hunger, heat nor
cold could conquer, who only gloried
in labors and perils.
Pushed by the Romans, they retreat
ed to their fortified towns; pressed by
siege, they withdrew to the highest
rocks, watched the conflagration of the
towns, and threw themselves, shouting,
from the craigs, to be dashed in pieces
rather than surrender. Mothers
drowned their sons rather than have
them become slaves. The story of their
steady resistance is nearly incredible.
Taken prisoners, they preferred cruci
fixion to subjection, and died singing a
paean of joy. Again and again, after
thinking them conquered, the Roman
prefects encountered fresh outbreaks,
till at last the Caesars were wise enough
to abandon the effort and secure them
as allies.
As allies, the Basques proved, from
the first, as faithful as they had before
been stubborn. More than once their
unconquerable courage turned the for
tune of battles. They went to Sicily
with Hannibal, leaving traces of them
selves in Italy, in names of towns such
as Urbino and Orvieto. Later they
joined steadily for two centuries in the
strife against the Visigoths. At
Itencesvalles, in 778, the Franks touched
them, and the flash that followed still
lights the pass and the cliffs, though
ten centuries have passed since false
Uanelon betrayed Roland and the furi
ous Basques fell on Charlemagne's rear
guard and crushed them with rocks in
the defile of bones between Ilgatson
and Altabiscar.
DON'T KNOW HOW TO PLAN.
New York'. Miserable Tenements the Re
sult of Ignorance of Scientific Planning.
The greatest evil which ever befell
New York city was the division of the
blocks into lots of twenty-five by one
hundred feet, says Scribner. So true
is this that no other disaster can for a
moment be compared with it. Fires,
pestilence and financial troubles are as
nothing in comparison, for from this
division has arisen the New York sys
tem of tenement houses, the worst
curse which ever afflicted any great
community. The fact that so much of
the land is held in such parcels is our
misfortune, but the obstacle is not insu
perable, as shown by our office build
ings. The difficulty has arisen and per
sistently flourishes owing entirely to
our lack of knowledge of the art of
scientific planning. For who would
waste money in erecting unnecessary
walls, halls, etc., if he knew how to ob
tain the same amount of rentable space
much better lighted without them?
By the present system the ground is
incumbed, the light obstructed, and
the structure rendered unhealthy and
unfit to live in, and all this is accom
plished at a vastly increasing expense
over what the same rentable space,
well-lighted, might be obtained for.
Great sums of money arc yearly squan
dered upon making the structures
unfit to live in. Then other great
sums arc contributed by charitable
people to relieve the distress which
these horrible structures engender.
Hospitals are kept full, children die,
misery, disease and crime flourish be
cause the people are huddled together
without light and air, and all this hap
pens simply because the principles ol
economical planning are not under
stood. Anti Wearing the Green,
"I once witnessed an interesting but
peculiar spectacle in animal life, but
one which I have never been able to
account for," remarked Abraham 1
Givens, of Rrenham, Tex., according
to the St. Louis Globe-Democrat. "I
was going home just at nightfall over
a sandy road, when I noticed directly
in front of me what appeared to be a
long line of green ribbon about one
half an inch thick. I stooped to ex
amine it, and to my astonishment,
found that it was a procession of ants,
marching three or four abreast, in
very close order, each one carrying a
little piece of a green leaf. The effect
was a continuous line of green with
out any break. I went back to find the
beginning, but as it issued from the
grass at the roadside, I was unable to
trace it further in that direction. I
then followed it for several rods, until
it entered the grass on the other side
of the road and was lost to sight.
Whether it was Palm Sunday or St.
Patrick's day with the ants, or some
political jubilee they were celebrat
ing, has always remained a mystery
tome."

Dealers In Wild Animals Form a
Trust.
By the New Arrangement All Competition
Among Circus Suppliers Will Be
Avoided Regular Prices
, on stock.
One of the youngest of the countless
trusts in existence deals exclusively
in wild animals. It is but a few weeks
old, but, as it includes every importer
of international reputation, it will not
have any opposition to overcome, and
practically starts out on its career with
all the stability and assurance of a vet
eran. In order to control the market
and establish values it was only neces
sary to secure the cooperation of five
firms, two in Germany, two in England
and one in New York. The four first
named Ilagenbeck, of Hamburg;
Reiche, of Olfeld; Jamrach, of London,
and Cross, of Liverpool have enjoyed
the benefits of a species of "modus
vivendi" for years, though this has not
prevented considerable competition for
the American trade, which has varied
to a remarkable extent during the last
quarter of a century. When Barnum
was in his prime he ignored these old
fashioned houses, and when he heard
of anything out of the ordinary sent
his own representative after it, and
bought it regardless of price. Such en
terprise, gratifying as it often was to
adventurers and pioneers, was a stand
ing menace to the maintenance of
prices, or rather profits, and more than
once, according to the St. Louis Globe-
Democrat, the action of the prince of
humbugs disturbed the wild animal
market very seriously. Since the great
showman's death, and indeed, for some
years prior to it, Conkling, of New
York, has practically controlled, the
heavy American trade, and the friendly
relations just established between him
and his four European competitors,
make the circle complete, and corner
the wild animal market. The firms
named are older than the hills, the
business havi ng descended from father
to son. Formerly rival expeditions
were sent out by the different houses,
and when anyone had a great prize to
offer he wired or wrote to all four
houses, relying on the competition to
keep up prices. Now all this is changed,
and there is no more bidding, one
against the other.
An additional economy has been ef
fected whereby the expeditions will
not clash, and the saving of expense
will be very great. There are now
three animal hunting parties out in
Africa, but their territory is well de
fined and will not overlap in any par
ticular. One party, under the leader
ship of Herr Menzes, a veteran lion
hunter, has been in the southern sec
tion of the Soudan all spring, and is ex
pected back at Hamburg in the near
future. The men have traveled over
one thousand miles, and, although
there is no regular mail service in the
section they are covering, word has
been received that nearly 8100,000
worth of forest kings will be brought
back by them. Very little has been
paid for the lions and other animals,
ammunition, cast-away arms, clothing
and jewelry forming the principal sub
stitutes for currency. Hut the expedi
tion has involved the cost of about .'I0,
000, and unless times brighten the
profit on the venture will not be enor
mous. The animals will be distributed
among the members of the trust. An
other expedition is expected back al
most at once from South Africa. It
was fitted out by Keiche and is to re
plenish the depleted stocks of giraffes,
zebras, monkeys and ostriches. The
salable vah:oof the consignment is also
estimated at tf 100,000, and the distribu
tion will be made in a similar manner.
According to the new plan adopted
by the trust, all competition will be
avoided. All negotiations by a buyer
must be conducted with one house, and
if anything wanted is not on hand the
fact will be telegraphed to the other
members of the trust and profits duly
adjusted. The only difficulty in the
way of keeping up prices beyond fig
ures established by the law of supply
and demand is the cost of help. A lion
or an elephant cannot be kept in con
dition, in Europe at any rate, on less
than one dollar a day, so that if one is
kept in stock for six months the pros
pective profit has been eaten up, using
the expression in its most'literal sense.
The prices at which the European end
of the syndicate are said to propose
holding their stock are about as fol
lows: Elephants, 81,000 to 5,000, ac
cording to the size and condition of
tusks; hippopotami, rhinoceri and gi
raffes, about the latter figure; lions of
full growth about the same; leopards
and panthers. 8150 to 8200; bears, graded
from 850 to 8200; snakes, from 810 to
8300, and tapirs at about 82,000. The
highest price paid for a captive of the
wild order last year was 812,500, which
was given for a white ounce, captured
in the Ural mountains. It proved a
poor investment, as its keepers could not
provitte a sufficiently low temperature,
and it died within a few weeks. An
equally large sum is said to be forth
coming for another Russian or Siberian
ounce or wildcat, but the animal is so
hard to capture alive that the demand
may never be supplied.

workmen told me I could see it only
with the permission of Mr. Edison,
whom I could find somewhere about
the place. To my disappointment I
failed to find him, but I had an in
structive search. The people there
abouts do not think the inventor of the
kinetoscope is such a very great man.
"He only got it (the idea) accidental

On my way out I met a locomotive
engineer who knew Edison, and he told
me with great glee of a really practical
accomplishment ot the inventor's abil
ity to run a locomotive.
"Edison once rode in my cab," he
said, "and he told me how, when he
was a train dispatcher, he once forgot
orders and allowed two trains on the
same section of track. He corrected
his mistake, but not so soon that the es
cape from collision was due to him, and
he was discharged. While waiting for

PRIZES ON PATENTS.
How to get S100 and Perhaps Hake a
Fortune.
We seonre patents and to induce
people to keep track of their bright
ideaB we offer a prize of one hundred
dollars to be paid on the first of every
month to the person who submits to as
the most meritorious invention daring
the proceeding month. We will also
advertise the invention free of charge in
the National Recorder, a weekly news
paper, published in Washington, D. 0
whioh has an extensive circulation
throughout the United States and is
devoted to the interests of inventors,
NOT SO HARD AS IT SKIMS.
The idea of being able to invent some
thing strikes most people as being very
diflioult; this delusion the corrpauy
wishes to dispel. It is the simple things
and small inventions that make the
greatest amount of money, and the oom
plex ones are seldom profitable. Almost
everybody, at some time or another,
oonoeives sn idea, which, if patented,
would probably be worth to bim
fortune. Unfortunately snob ideas sre
nsnally dismissed without thought. The
simple inventions like the car window
which could be easily slid np and down
without breaking the passenger's hack,
the sance pau, collar button, t he out look,
the bottle stopper, the snow shovel, are
things that almost everyone sees some
way of imprnvinir upoo, and it is these
kiDd of inventions that brirg the greatest
returns tn the author. (
The prize we offer will be paid at the
end of eaoh month, whether the appli
cation bae been acted upon by tha
Patent Office or not. Every competitor
must apply for a patent od bis invention
