PATENTS!
NOTICE TO INVENTORS.
Tbere was never a time In the history
of onr 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 anil impliments of each
in order to save labor, time and expense.
The political ohange 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 lost and destroyed in
innumerable instances by the employ
ment of incompetent counsel, and es
pecially is tbis 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 strength of the patent is never con
sidered in view of a quick endeavor to
get an allowance and obtain the fee.

AN ALLIGATOR STORY.
Lost .Meaaentrer B07 In India DlecoTarad
In an AUtgator's Throat.
"Of all the inhabitantsof the great
rivers of India the alligator is the most
formidable," said Capt. L. E. Ballou, of
London, England, recently, according
to the St. Louis Globe-Democrat.
"While I was stationed there several
years ago I saw a sight the thought of
which always causes a shudder to creep
over me. A lady near where I lived
had sent a little native boy with a let
ter to a friend at some little distance,
with the request to send back a reply.
Being a trustworthy little fellow some
surprise was felt when he did not re
turn after a reasonable absence. After
waiting several hours with no sign of
the messenger, a searching party, of
which X was a member, was made up to
try to discover his whereabouts. After
scouring the country for some time we
came to the river bank and a short dis
tance away saw a dead alligator lying
on the shore with its great jaws ex
tended to their utmost. On examining
it to discover the cause of so strange
an appearance we found to our horror
that it had devoured the missing boy,
and had attempted to swallow his head
whole. This, however, it was unable
to do, and had been suffocated in the
attempt. The boy's head was still cov
ered by his turban, which, when re
moved, disclosed the answer to his mis
tress' letter, which he was faithfully
bringing back. It was supposed that
while attempting to swim the river he
had been seized by the alligator, as
these huge reptiles are very clever in
concealing themselves till their victim
is well within reach, and then pounc
ing on their prey."
SCHOOL LIFE IN ARMENIA.
Children Have to Work Harder and Do
Mot Learn as Rapidly.
There are two classes of schools in
Armenia, private and public. The pri
vate schools begin at sunrise and end
at sunset. Each child brings a piece
of carpet, which he places on the floor,
and upon which he sits all day until
sunset, when he carries home again his
square rug. The children supply their
own books, consequently the text
books vary from a bible, a prayer book
to a newspaper, and when a pupil has
learned all in his own text-book he ex
changes it with another student, and
so on.
As a rule, says the Boston Herald, at
the end of the four years' course the
children leave school scarcely knowing
how to read. This is not owing to the
lack of intelligence on the children's
part, but the result of the defective
system in teaching them.
The public schools are substantially
the Bame as those in America, with the
exception that the sexes are taught' in
separate buildings. Religious instruc
tion is given in the schools, the church
es deeming it unnecessary to support
Sunday schools. As all the children
are of one faith, there is no religious
conflfftt. The course of study in the
schools is very hard, because of the
different languages spoken in the sev
eral sections ot tne country. Even the
Russian language is studied. In summer
the private schools are held out of
doors.
PURITY OF WATER.
Clearness and Taatelssnes Are Not Nee
essarllr Troofs of Pnrlty.
The popular standards of the purity
of water are clearness, tastelessness
and colorlessness, and yet they are in
reality less desirable qualities than are
softness, freedom from putrosciple or
ganic matter, and stability in storage,
For instance, says the Literary Digest.a
colorless and perfectly clear ground
water, especially when high in ni
trates, will, if confined in open reser
voir, promote anil support a more vig
orous growth of organisms and may be
come fouled and polluted to a much
greater extent than will many surface
waters similarly confined and either
deeply colored by dissolved vegetable
matter, or loaded with clay and sand in
suspension. Likewise, a water meeting
the requirements of the popular stand
ard, but containing much lime and
magnesia, particularly in the form of
sulphates, is unfit for use in boilers and
houses, while a ground water contain
ing peroxide of iron will cause much
trouble and annoyance by the deposits
of iron rust in the distribution pipes,
and will prove very unsatisfactory in
washing and cooking.
GRIPMEN ARE ONE-SIDED.
Half of Their Bodies Developed br Hand
ling the Heavy Levers.
"All the gripmen necessarily must
be muscular, said a big Chicago cable
train driver recently, "for the physical
exertion is great and a weak man
could not stand the strain. It's a sort
of one-Bided trade, though. If a fel
low sticks to it long he gets bigger on
the right side of his body than on the
left, for the pulling and pushing, haul
ing and jerking are done mostly with
that side. I don't know any man who's
been at the work long enough to be
come really deformed by it, but I've
seen many gripmen who were plainly
larger, heavier, more muscular on the
right -sido, especially -in the shoulder,
than on the other side. No; I've never
seen the phenomenal enlargement the
'gripmnn's arm,' the boys call it on
the left side, for the simple reason that
the builders of grip cars don't take
left-handed men into their calculations.
There are no left-handed grip cars; con
sequently there are no left-handed
gripmen."
Hatha In Japan.
Nearly all American and European
visitors to Japan speak with admiration
of the public baths of that country
In the city of Tokio there are between
eight hundred and nine hundred public
bathing establishments, each frequent
ed daily by at least three hundred peo
ple, who pay for the privilege so small
a sum that no one is too poor to afford
it. Outside of these baths the Japan
ese are much given to bathing in their
own homes. They are one of the clean
est races in the world. Travelers from
'the western world frequently express
regret that in Europe and America there
are no such establishments.

HOW TO RUN FAR AND FAST.
Keep the Knees Bent. Lean Forward aae!
Lift the Feet Very Slightly.
Physiologists and lovers of athletics
may be interested in recent experi
ments and researches of a French
artillery captain, M. de Raoul, who,
some fifteen years ago, began to try
and find out the most economical and
least trying way of walking. There
are many manners of walking, says
the Popular Science News, some of
which are much devoid of grace, but
it may be supposed that as far as effi
ciency is concerned one must be better
than the others. M. de Raoul has
come to the conclusion that, as far as
fast walking is concerned, the best
method is that which he calls marche
enflexion. The principle is to run
without leaping, to raise the body
above ground as little as possible, to
keep the knees bent, the upper part of
the body inclined forward, so that
practically you are always running
after your center of gravity. The feet
must be raised only very slightly. M.
de Raoul, who has now sme years of
experience, says that he can now take
any man between twenty and sixty
and teach him to run as long as his
legs can carry hiin without getting
out of breath. Some men can, on the
very first trial of the method, run seven
or eight miles without stopping, while,
with the ordinary tactics, they could
not have run over one mile. The first
kilometer (a kilometer is five-eighths
of a mile) is usually covered in seven
minutes and a quarter, the second in
six minutes, and the third in five min
utes and forty-five seconds An inter
esting feature of M. de Raoul s re
searches is that even after a long run,
according to his method, a stiff walk is
no trouble at all; the muscles which
work in both cases do not belong to
the same Bet, and while one exercise is
performed the muscles which minister
to the other rest.
PIG AT A CANDY PULL.
Surprise of the Porker When He Dipped
Hla Nose In the Dish.
Pretty nearly everyone knows or
ought to know what an old-fashioned
'candy pull means. It used to beat
the "apple bees" and such other coun
try affairs away out of sight, and was
much sweeter way of enjoying a win
ter evening, says the Hartford Courant.
t chanced recently that a family in the
outskirts of the city thought they
would indulge the children in one of
these pastimes, and things were made
ready. It was just at the end of the
last snow, and when the molasses had
been boiled sufficiently and had been
"tried" by dropping a few drops on a
bit of snow, the dishful was placed on
the snow just outside the door, the
quicker to cool off and be ready for
pulling. Some half-grown pigs had
been capering about the yard, likely to
keep warm, and one of them chanced
to come upon the dish of sweet stuff,
which by that time had become con
siderably cooled off on the surface, so
that when the fellow's nose touched it
it was not in the least uncomfortable.
The supposition is that, with his usual
avariciousness, the fellow plunged his
"snout" away down to the bottom of
the vessel. Jiaturally he got a pretty
warm reception when he hit the mid
dle of the mess, and quite naturally,
too, he pulled pulled for dear life.
The half-cooled candy stuck to him
like a leech, and with an audible grunt
he fled as best he might. The people
who were chatting within while the
cooling process was going on hurried
to the door just in time to see piggy
lighting out, candy and all, for free
dom. They gave chase, but they might
as well have tried to catch a cyclone.
The youngster finally run himself out,
so to speak, the candy having mean
time cooled out sufficiently to make it
quite a difficult matter to remove the
encumbrance from the poor brute's
nose. It is understood that the "pull"
that was down for the evening was in
definitely postponed.
RESUSCITATION FROM SHOCK.
Victims of Electric Currents May Some
times He Restored to Life.
M. d'Arsonval, lecturing a short time
ago before the Academie des Sciences,
drew attention to the fact, says Elec
tricity, that the physiological effects of
high-tension currents passing through
the human body were very similar to
those of drowning, the result being
suspension of respiration, which could
often be restored by suitable means,
such as those employed in case of
drowning. He referred more particu
larly to an accident which recently
took place in France, where a current
at a tension of forty-five hundred volts,
with a frequency of fifty periods per
second, passed through a man's body,
rendering him senseless. Artificial
respiration, however, was attempted,
and the man ultimately recovered. M.
d'Arsonval considers that, in the case
of the American criminals executed by
means of electricity, death ensues in
reality from the absence of any attempt
at restorative measures rather than
from the passage of a current which is
in itself destructive to life.
Serious Business.
The following description of a Boer
writing his name is quoted from Mr.
Montague's "Tales of a Nomad." It is
not impossible that some readers even
in the United States mav recognize the
picture. In the old days the Boer
seldom used his pen, and when he did
there was a regular commotion in the
house. "Hush! He quiet all of you
Drive out the ducks and the geese, and
the pigs and the fowls. Father is go
ing to write his name." And then the
old gentleman, with elbows squared on
the table, would seize the pen with a
flourish, and putting on a determined
look as if he were going to tackle an
adversary, would bend down his head
till it nearly touched his left arm,
write his name with many a splutter,
and then, throwing down the pen and
pushing back the chair, would look
round with an air of mingled pride
and resignation, and say: "I have
done it."
Miui.-r iu ..y loaches.
"I suppose." said a traveler, "that a
man ought not to sleep in an ordinary
day coach, especially if there is any
body in the seat with hitn. To most
men it is an annoyance to have the
other man in the seat go to sleep. He
mv be the nicest man in the world,
but you don't like to have him lean
over against you, and even if all he
does is nod, and as likely as not he
will do that, he attracts attention, and
some of that attention is pretty sure to
be devoted to you. The passenger
whose attention is attracted by 0 rr,:-!
asleep generally glances also at tiic
man in the seat with him. Snir.etimi-N
you will see a man whose seat neigh
bor has gone to sleep f et up and go
setoewhert else, ana I can t say lbt I

SACRED MONKEYS.
Disturbance of the Adjuncts to the Brah
min Worship.
In certain parts of India monkeys are
reg-anled as objects of worship. In
"lleminiscences f Seventy Years' Life,
Travel and Adventure." the unthor was
about to enter the court of a large
monkey tt iaple at Xuildea, when the
officiating llrthinin said; "No person
must visit the court of Huniman" the
monkey god "with his shoes on."
After some discussion, however, the
point was yielded, the party entering
without removing their shoes. Of an
other occasion he writes:
In passing up the country, when near
to Nuddea, I happened to stroll into a
bamboo tope, or jungle, when the boat
had put to for the night. I had not ad
vanced far before I heard a terrible up
roar all around, and was not a little
alarmed, on looking up, to behold a
whole army of the largest monkeys
making towards me from all quarters.
Some jumped on the ground before
me, others swung by the bamboos over
my head, and many closed up the path
in my rear. Several females had young
ones clinging to them, but this did not
seem to-render them less agile than
the others. A few of the largest, and
apparently the oldest, chattered for
about half a minute together; then the
whole tribe responded, while all closed
in upon me.
What to do I knew not. However, I
hallooed as loudly as I could to make
my people hear, and to my great com
fort the monkeys retreated a few paces
every time I did so. This encouraged
me to persevere, but I perceived that
when I began to retreat they closed
upon me again, without being affected
by my noise.
Once more I stood still and gave a
tremendous shout, when back they
went again. I gained full twenty
yards this time before they came
jumping around; and just as I was
about to repeat the call, my hopes
were raised by beholding a poor, de
crepit old woman some hobbling
through the midst of them.
She shook two or three of them by
the paws as she passed; but no sooner
hart she come within hearing than she
opened upon mc a torrent of abuse for
disturbing the sacred animals in their
retirement. She motioned me, with
almost frantic gestures, to depart
quickly, and her tongue never ceased
till I was quite out of hearing.
I was not long in fullilling her com
mi'.nds, as the monkeys nil seemed im
plicitly 1 1 obr-y her bidding, and made
a way for my retreat. When i quitted
the jungle 1 met my servant, who said
lie was coming to tell me nr-l to dis
turb the monkevs. an Ihiiii-ritin owned
that biimboo grove. The oi l woman,
'it appeared, was emplo-.-cl by the
Brahmins to give the nvtnlriwR -food
everv day; beside, whieh tU-.-y were
worshiped by all the people in the
country round, who brought offerings
of rice and sweetmeats to them contin
ually.
RUB THE OTHER EYE.
Oood Advice of an Engineer Regardlnc
(he Removal of Cinders.
Nine persons out of every ten with a
cinder or any foreign substance in the
eye will instantly begin to rub the eye
with one hand while hunting for their
handkerchief with the other. They
may and sometimes do remove the of
fending cinder, but more frequently
thev rub until the eye becomes in
flamed, bind a handkerchief around
the head, and go to bed. This is all
wrong. The better way is not to rub
the eye with the cinder in it at all, but
rub the other eye as vigorously as you
like, according to a writer in the med
ical Summary, who relates the follow
ing experience:
"A few years since I was riding on
the engine of a fast express. The en
gineer threw open the front window
and I caught a cinder that gave me the
most excruciating pain. I began to
rub the eve with both hands. 'Let
your eye alone and rub the other eye'
(this from the engineer). I thought he
was chaffing me, and worked the
harder. 'I know you doctors think
you know it all, but if you will let that
eye alone and rub the other one, the
cinder will be out in two minutes, per
sisted the engineer. I began to rub
the other eye; soon I felt the cinder
down near the inner canthus, and
made ready to take it out. 'Let 'it
alone and keep at the well eye,' shouted
the doctor pro tem. I did so for a min
ute longer, and looking in a small
glass he gave me found the offender on
mv cheek. Since then I have tried it
many times, and have advised many
others, and have never known it to
fail in one instance, unless it was as
sharp as a piece of steel or something
that cut into the ball and required an
operation to remove it."

Elephants nre extremely afraid of
horses, writes JJui. John Jintler in
"Travels in Assam." To that fuet he
owed the deliverance of his wife and
child from a terrible death. With
them he was traversing the jungle
over an exceedingly rough road,
through forest and grass jungle alter
nately. The way had to be cut as they
advanced.
1 was in the lead on a large elephant
in my howdnli, with a good battery of
guns, when about midday I heard be
hind me a general cry of alarm, and
hastily rode to the scene of danger.
It seems that just after 1 had passed,
with the coolies who cut down the
jungle, a huge Mukna elephant rushed
from the jungle in a terrible rage, and
pursued the little baggage elephant,
which was just behind my wife and
uhild! The little elephant screeched
ind tied for its life, straight ahead.
Fortunately a pony was led beside
the palkee which contained my wife
ind child. The wild elephant was
dose upon them, and they closed their
yes in horror, expecting to be
Jragged from their places and
urampled to death. At that moment
the great beast caught sight of the
pony. It stopped short, turned aside,
and fled back to the jungle as if pur
sued by an evil spirit.
The men were filled WMth astonish
ment. Most of them had fled to the
protection of sheltering trees, leaving
my wife and child alone.
