PATENTS!
NOTICK TO INVENTORS.
There was never a time In the history
of otir codutry when the demnnd for
inveDtions and improvements in the arts
aud acienoes generally was bo rtg& aa
now. The oonveniencee of mpjkind in
the faotory and workshop, the household
and on the farm, aa well as in official
life, reqnire continual HCcwwonB to the
appurtenance and impliments 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 .him from quickly conceiving the
remedy to overcome existing discrepan
cies. Too great oire cannot be exer
o:6ed in oLonsing n competent and skill
ful attorney to prepare and prosecute
an application for patent. Valuable in
terests have been lost and destroyed in
innumerable instances bv the employ
ment of incompetent counsel, and es
pecially is this ndvioe Applicable to
those who adopt the "No patent, no
pay" iiy stem. 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.

WOMEN STATION AGENTS.
They Are Common In Aaatralia. and Earn
from Thirty to Hlxty Cent, a Day.
"I spent two months of last fall in
Australia," said a traveler to a New
York Telegram man, "and saw some
very funny things, bu toothing struck me
as more peculiar than the lady station
agents, who are now quite common in
some parts of tho colony. To do the
ladies justice, they appear to be per
fectly competent to carry out the work
assigned to them, and they have a way
of answering questions without resent
ing each one as an insult, which is
very refreshing. In some of the small
stations a woman is in sole control,
operates the telegraph herself, sells the
tickets.looks after what little freight ar
rivesand is shipped, exercises general su
pervision over the train hands and sleeps
in a little room either above or behind
her office. None of them seems to be
in the least disconcerted or alarmed in
consequence of risks which they evi
dently run, and, as far as the public
is concerned, the innovation is by no
means objectionable. But just how
these ladies keep body and soul together
on the munificent stipend which varies
between thirty cents and sixty cents
per day is one of those mysteries the
solution of which is known only to the
ladies themselves and the soulless cor

Numbers Won In a Long and Exciting-
Battle.
"While camping in Alabama during
the late war," said Col. II. C. Crossman
of Dayton, 0., according to the St.
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 inarch, I
felt something move under my head. I
lifted one corner of tha blanket and
found a snake between three and 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
itantly the ants poured forth from
heir nest, which was underneath, and
egan a vigorous attack upon the in
rudor, who was soon covered by scores
f his assailants, biting him fearfully,
.he battle raged with fury, the snake
vrithing about in torture.
"The contest at first seemed an un
squal one, for tho snake was rapidly
.hinning out his persecutors, but on
,he other hand the ants were numer
ous and quick in their aggressive
movements. The snake with one blow
his tail would kill or wound a long
line of ants, but the active little crea
tures were soon reinforced by fresh
troops and fought with a desperation
wonderful to behold. I was astonished
beyond measure to see the tactics of
the ants. When they saw their num
bers were being lessened they dis
patched couriers for fresh relays of
soldiers, who appeared on the scene in
due time to replace the killed or wound
ed. ,"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,
liefore striking tents the next morning
I went to look at the battle ground.
The slain insects wore scattered in
jvery direction, but there were six or
(even watchful ants upon the back of
the snake, which lay stretched out
dead near the ant hill."
EXTRA POLITE.
A French Count Who Could Not De Out
done In Uallnntry.
Frenchmen of the old school did at
times tremendously polite thhigs, such
as breaking their necks to pick up a
lady's fan, or setting fire to a house to
dry her when caught in a shower of
rain, or running through the body any
one who should dare to say that her
foot was large or her nose red. In our
days Frenchmen are not such idiots,
and yet they sometimes do exceeding
ly foolish things in the polite line.
This story, for example, is related of a
Count de Lecouiteux.
In descending the staircase of the
opera one night a lady of his acquaint
ance had a lace diess of considerable
value torn by a man treading on it.
After an exclamation of impatience
she turned to the count aud said:
"Have you a pin?" "Madame," he said,
"I don't carry a pincushion, but here is
one," and h6 drew from his breast a
valuable diamond. "Sir," said the
lady, nettled probably by his retort
about the pincushion, "I cannot accept
a diamond from you." "Well, then,"
returned he, "here is a pin without a
diamond;" and breaking off the jewel
he threw it out of the window and pre
sented the simple pin.
On an Indian Hunting Tour.
The most exciting and by far the
most interesting hunting expeditions I
ever went on, said Capt. M . P. Wallace,
an ex-army officer, to the St. Louis
Olobe-Democrat, "were those with the
Indiuns while I was stationed on the
plains. The consummate grace and
skill of the men and the speed and
agility of their ponies were well dis
played on such occasions as these. Fre
quently the hunt would be signalized
by some daring feat of bravado. On
one occasion I saw an athletic young
Indian ride his horse up close to the side
of a big buffalo bull and spring from
the horse on to the back of the buffalo,
ride the savage creature several hun
dred yards, and then with his knife
give it its death stroke."
Lived a Lifetime In Twelve Years.
The most remarkable instance of
rapid growth was recorded by the
French academy in 1729. It was a boy
six years of age, five feet six inches in
height. At the age of five his voice
changed, at six his beard had grown,
and he appeared a man of thirty. lie
possessed great physical strength, and
could easily lift to his shoulders and
carry bags of grain that weighed two
hundred pounds. His decline was as
rapid as his growth. At eight his hair
and beard were gray; at ten he tot
tered in his walk, hia teeth fell out
and his hands became palsied; at
twelve he died with every outward
sign of extreme old age.

But tha Youni; Man's Will Was Weak and
tin Lcurnetl a lesson.
A ptominent yourvr inaa of the city
has been an invetevt cigarette
smoker for several yeaVs past, and he
indul-'c 1 in t'.ie habit to such an ex
tent tiiat it was injut'in? his health.
says the Indianapolis Sentinel, lie iia
a girl of whom he thinUsall tho world,
and it's a ease of vice versa. This
young lady has a very good complex
ion, but has an inordinate love for the
' um of pam-dar. which hibit th Tounj
man detests as heartily as she does hiu
cigarette habit. They finally agreed
thut each would swear off the one
from using powder and the other from
smo!;ing cigarettes.
It was hard work for the young man,
but evert- time he hungered for a wad
of nicotine his niind pictured the form
of his fair one pcradin-r down the street
with her face looking like a pan of
dough, and ho debistcd. This went on
for several weeks and eacli was re
mitrlcing upon how much better the
other was looking; but the old craving
for the cottin nail came upon the young
man once more, and one day last week
he broke over, lie thought no one
would ever iiud it out. lfut he was
seen, the news was carried to the girl,
and she prepared to get even.
They were to go to the theater and
tho young man called with the cab.
The young lady was at the door, her
face closely muilkd, and in her hand
the bouquet that cost him live. Arrived
at the opera house, they were enter
ing tiie door when tha yonnT man
turned to speak to tiie fair one by his
side. Oh: that face. She had smeared
it with powder until it had been neces
sary to cut eye holes. It was frightful.
He slopped. "Are you going in look
ing like that?"
"Just as you say," was the quiet re
sponse. "Well, I say no. I am not traveling
with freaks now. We'll go baclc
.loine."
And they did. It cost him ten, there
,vere two vacant seats at the opera
louse, but the young man has not
smoked any cigarettes since.
TOLD BY THEIR DRESS.
The Women of Different Nationalities
Easily Djrtlinirulshed.
You can tell at a glance the French
woman from the American, the latter
from the English woman, and yet, says
the l'aris-Xew York Herald, each wom
an is a perfect type.
The well-dressed Frenchwoman
wears a very large hat or exquisite
toque; her chiffon blouse has short
sleeves, and is made with turndown
collar; her gloves are very long, reach
ing far above the elbow, and, although
white, are perfectly clean and fresh.
She has a waist at whatever sacrifice,
also hips. She wears a white veil,
which she never puts on, under her hat,
and when she walks, which is seldom,
it is on the tips of her toes.
The well-dressed English woman
wears in the morning a man's colored
shirt, with white collar, a man's neck
tie, a tailor-made white drill or holland
jacket and skirt, a pretty hat with flow
ers, with veil plastered over the face to
keep the fringe in curl.
She has a good figure and is very tall,
does not wear high heels and uses her
whole foot when walking.
The American woman is a combina
tion of these twq. With great acute
ness she selects the best points of each,
but you would never take her for any
body but herself. She is rather inclined
to the enormous hats of the French,
but she does not wear short sleeves
and low necks with them.
She is always appropriately dressed
and has a costume for every occasion
which always seems the very best
thing that she could have chosen. She
seems to have calculated all weathers
and all occurrences with an eye to her
dress hence her success.
ALL WERE WRONG BUT HIM.
Hut the Eleven Obstinate Jurors Finally
Came to n Sensible Conclusion.
The obstinacy which is said to be
characteristic of the Scotali is illus
trated in the following story, which
was recently related to a writer for the
New York Advertiser: "Jly father,"
said the narrator, "came over about
seventy-five years ago and settled in
Michigan, which, in that part at any
rate, was a semi-wilderness. As the
country grew more settled my father,
from the mere fact of his having been
a pioneer, became very prominent in
civic affairs in the community. He
was very conscientious, but extremely
impatient of contradiction, never un
derstanding why a person could dis
agree with him, when ho was so plain
ly correct in his position. Well, one
night, contrary to his usual custom, he
did not come home to supper. Eight
o'clock came and the whole family was
in bed and still lie hud not arrived. It
was after one o'clock in the morning
that his heavy stop was heard on the
stajrs. My mother, who had been
anxious, met hira with a light in her
hand.
" 'Where have you been?' she asked,
looking at him seriously.
' " 'licen on a jury,' he prowled.
" 'Why did you stay so late?'
" 'Stay so late? There were eleven
obstinate devils on that jury and it
took me all night to convince theiA.'"
Spontaneous Combustion.
As it is known that spontaneous com
bustion sometimes takes place in car
goes of coal, it has been suggested that
under certain conditions enormous
coal-fields may ignite and in time pro
duce volcanoes. Occasional and violent
eruptions may be caused by the burn
ing away of barriers and the inflow of
water suddenly producing an enor
mous bulk of steam, which must find
an outlet. The idea that clean cotton
may take fire spontaneously is scouted
by many experts. They claim that
what is called by this name is the re
sti It of some spark that may smolder
unobserved for weeks and then may
break out in some unsuspected fashion.
Tobacco, linen, jute and oily cotton,
however, inflame spontaneously on
what would seem, to a scientific mind,
insufficient provocation.
China's Iiest Tea.
Scented tea is a great favorite with
the Chinese. This is made by mixin
jessamine or orange blossoms with
the tea for twenty-four hours, after
which it is sifted aud separated, and
then packed. The stranger in China
finds it almost impossible tc buy the
best tea. So little of the best quality
or first picking is obtained that the
Chinese keep it for themselves. It is
very expensive.

DRIVERS TUilN TO THE LEFT.
Dow a Peculiar lioad Ittilo Observed by
the English Was Orlirliiited.
"I came near having several collis
ions v. hi le driving in aud about Lon
don on a recent vi'dt in England, be
cause 1 ci.uiiin't get the hang of turn
ing to the kit instead of the right
upon meeting a vehicle, as we do in
this country," said a globe-trotter to a
Cincinnati Times-tjtar reporter a few
days ngu. "You know we alwaysturn
to the rnrlit in this country, and but
for tiie vigilance of the English driver
I would Lave been mixed up in more
than one smash up. I asked dozens of
Englishmen why they had such an
abominable custom, and not one could
tell, except that they had always done
it. One day I stepped into a. newspa
per office and asked one of the edit
ors. He couldn't tell. He appealed to
a young reporter in the room and the
boy gave the explanation that in olden
times the foot traveler passed to the
right that the shield on the left arm
might be interposed to ward off a
treacherous blow, and the right, or
sword arm, be free to strike.
"Horsemen, however, usually had
coats of mail to protect them, and there
was more safety in being near the an
tagonist than in having to strike across
the neck of the horse, as would have
been necessary had they turned to the
right. When vehicles came in U6e
later the drivers instinctively followed
the old horseback custom and turned
to the left. And I believe I have found
why we have fallen into the habit of
turning to the right. Horses were
scarce for several generations in this
country after the first saddles came
here, and the English custom for foot
travelers naturally prevailed, for we
were very English in those early days.
as you know. We got in the habit of
turning to the right, and when con
veyances became common we kept
turning to the right, . because more
used to it. A nation will drop into a
habit as easily as an individual."
" SACRED WATER " ANALYZED.
A Scientific Examination of Roma from a
Well nt Mecca.
A scientific analysis has lately been
made in England of the Zem-Zcm wa
ter from the sacred well at Mecca,
which, according to the Arabs, is the
v.vll that the nnffel showed to llagar.
n 1 1 whose water i aved tho life of Ish
niael. After reading the results of this
analysis, one cannot wonder that pil
grims who drink the water are fre
quently attacked by cholera.
The. specimen examined, says the
Youth's Companion, which was hermet
ically sealed in tin bottles forty years
ago by Sir Iuchard Ilurton during his
visit to Mecca in the disguise of a der
vish, contained sixty-nine grains of
chlorine to the gallon. Water which
contains so little as nine grains of
chlorine to the gallon is ordinarily re
garded as scarcely fit for human con
sumption. Moreover, in the case of the Zem-Zem
well, it is believed that the chlorine
originates from the custom pf pouring
th.e writer ov.-r ti, n-wfip, r.m allow
ing it to run back into the well. The
sticred water was found to possess an
extraordinary degree of ' hardness,
three times as great as that of average
water. It also held twenty times as
much ammonia compounds as drinking
water should contain.
No bacteria were discovered, but this
is accounted for by the fact that the
water had remained for so long a time
sealed up in entire darkness. Forty
years of such confinement had com
pletely sterilized it, but tho chemical
impurities remained.
THE CLIND PLANT.
A I uu-oUl (.rmvth TIi.it I'l'i-ys Upon tlu
Iliiu.iin hlyo.
It m:iy seem strange to some but,
acf.'onlinj? to one of the best opti
cians west of the Mississippi, twenty-
two nor cent, of the fifty or sixtj
thousand blind persons in the United
States were rendered so by the
growth of a remarkable fungus planl
which seems to be perfectly at home ir
the human eye. The httlo plan"
which causes tins terrible afflict ioi
belongs to the lowest order of the
fungi and is a single celled organism
knowns as a coccus. It propagates
simply by division that is, a single
cell, growing to its full size, splits in
to two or more, usually four, perfect
plants, these again subdividing as be
fore.
These plants grow ipon the external
covering of the eve, and soon destroy
the clear medium so necessary to
vision. The propagation of the mis-
ehiefmaher is very rapid, and its
growth m the tissues covering the eye'
ball causes much irritation, cutting off
the supply of nutriment, and re-
suiting in congestion. So far as
is Unown it is spread only by infec
tion and must be planted directly up
on suitable sou before it can grow.
This, in brief, is what is known as the
bacterial cause of blindness.
TRAVELING HARO WORK.
Railway Hervlce Is I'ncomfortable In
Darkest India.
A graphic description of railway
travel in India is sent to the Daily
tlrnphic by its lady commissioner. As
one may have to spend several days in
a train, it is essential that comfortable
slct'pinp accommodation should be
provided. Tho seats run sideways
nlon;; a carriage so that one can lie at
full h.'iig-th upon them, and for night
accommodation two extra bunks are
provided above the lower ones.
The weary traveler provides herself
with a proper beddinjr kit, including
two rnzias or quilts, made of ffayly
printed cotton, and wadded like
eider-down with cotton wool, a blank
et or two and two pillows. One's out
er clothing is removed and replaced by
a luce-trimmed l'linn-' dres.in(f-gown.
The Indies' waitini;-roums on some of
the lines are models of what these
should be.
Ikitlts tntiy be had In privacy and
comfort, and at some of the junctions
retirirET room-,; are provided, furnished
with couched and Ion chairs, in which
one can rest for a few hours.
Bullets Carried for Tears.
Two extraordinary cases of boUet
wounds becoming active after a lapse
of twenty-four years are reported by a
German medical paper. One is that of
a watchmaker named Kleeman, living
at Dusseldorf , who was wounded in the
Franco-German war. Three years ago
ho had a bullet successfully extracted
from his right shoulder, and a short
time airo. after a month's illness, a
I second bullet was extracted from his
i left side. The second case is that of a
i stationmaster who a few days ago was
j operated upon nt lkmn and had a
French bullet, which pierced his right
shoulder in the war, cut from bis right
side.

NOT SO HARD AS IT BBEMB.
The idea of being able to invent some

and small inventions that make tbe

everybody, at some time or soother,
conceives an idea, which, it patented,
would probably be worth to bim a

nimally dismissed without tbongbt. Tbe
simple iDveoticns like the car wirdow
which could be easily slid up and down
