PATENTS!
NOTICK TO INVENTORS.
Tbere was never a time in tbe history
of our ooautry when the demand for
inventions and improvements in the arts
and sciences generally was so great as
now. The conveniences of mpjkind in
the fiiotory and workshop, the household
and on the farm, as well as in official
life, require continual accessions to the
appnrtenance and implements of each
jn order to save labor, time and expense.
The political change in the administra
tion of government does not affect the
progress of tbe American inventor, who
beiog on the alert, and ready to per
ceive the existing deficiencies, does not
permit the affairs of government to de
ter bim from quickly oonoeiviDg the
remedy to overcome existing discrepan
cies. Too great oire cannot be exer
o;8ed in oiioosing a competent and skill
ful attorney to prepare and prosecute
an application for patent. Valuable in
terests have been loHt and destroyed in
innumerable iuatances 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, os 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.

SUPERSTITIOUS POSTALCLEKKS
Mall Sacks That Have Been In an Acci
dent Are Hought After.
A group of railway postal clerks, just
in from a run, stood in the transfer of
fice at the Pennsylvania station the
other morninp;, waiting for the cable
car to start up in order to get home,
says the Washington News.
"Tell you, felt a bit scary on this
trip," observed one of the men as he
knocked the ashes from his pipe and
glanced at the clock.
"What was the matter? Inspector on
the car?" asked one. "Flat wheel?"
queried another.
"Worse than that. Forgot my red.
Left it in the office. First time for six
months."
"Where did you get yours?" asked
the tall man with the sandy beard.
"I've had it a long time. Cub gave
it to me, and he got it from the 'Fat
Nancy' wreck," was the reply.
Just then the whirl of the cable be
came audible in the clear morning air,
and the mail slingers made a run for
the avenue.
"What's a red?" was asked of a clerk
who was still lounging in the room.
For reply he opened his valise and
drew out a dingy red mail sack. It
was a plain canvas pouch, such as is
used for mail matter of the lower
classes, and, save for the color, did not
differ from any one of the 100,000 or so
that the government owns.
"Once in awhile we have a little
smashup, you know," he said, "and oc
casionally some of the boys get hurt,
or worse. Our cars are pretty danger
ous places in the event of an accident,
and, if there is any damage, why, it's
usually felt most in the mail or ex
press car. It isn't often that they
are serious, but now and then one of
the boys gets smashed, and then there
is naturally some blood around, and it J
gets on tne man sacKS. in tne out cays
the government very considerately
used to put such sacks out of use, for
you can't get the stain out. Then some
genius conceived the notion of dyeing
them red, but that only served to mark
them.
"Every business has its supersti
tions," he continued, "and I guess we
are no exception, for some of us have
an idea that it is lucky to have a red in
the car. I don't know why, I'm sure,
unless it is on the principle that the
same sack will not be in two bad acci
dents. So when one comes our way we
freeze onto it, and try to keep it handy.
"Of course," he continued, rather
shamefacedly, "it feems like a queer
kind of feeling to have a reminder of
that sort around, but it's all in the
way you look at it, and there are lots
of things just as foolish other people
do."
RAINFALL AND POPULATION.
The Growth of the Latter Depends on the
Former.
The results of the last census have
shown that the distribution of the pop
ulation in the Cnitod States is regula
ted by the abuir lance or scarcity of
rain. The largest part of the popula
tion is distributed in those regions
where the annual rainfall varies from
thirty to forty inches. These comprise
three-fourths of the people.
The density of population diminishes
rapidly where the amount of rainfall
differs considerably in either direction
from these figures, which may be taken
as of mean value.
Greatest density is found where
forty to fifty inches of rain fall yearly,
the number of inhabitants in such dis
tricts being fifty-nine per square mile.
Where the rainfall is thirty to forty
inches per annum the mean density of
population is 43.1 per square mile.
The dry regions of the east, where
less than twenty inches fall in a year,
which includes two-fifths of the terri
tory, contain actuully less than three
hundredths of the people of the states.
The population lias multiplied most
rapidly, with a rainfall of twenty tc
thirty inches, in the great plains ex
tending from Texas to Dakota, when
the density has increased 1(1 to 18.1 pel
mile.
These figures show that, as might
naturally be expected, in the variety
of climatic conditions found in the
great expanse of territory constituting
the United States those most favorable
to increase the number of inhabitants
are a moderate temperature and a mod
erate annual rainfall.
Slnfrcra of the l'lnlns.
People who have read about the
rough manners of cowboys will be sur
prised to know that they are habitual
singers of hymns, and the strangest
feature is that they sing the cattle tr
sleep. A herd of steers is as skittish
as a flock of sheep, particularly at
night. Anything or nothing will start
a stampede, and when the cattle get
running they are almost as difficult to
check as a prairia fire. Mo a part of a
cowboy's duty is to ride around and
around the "bunch" of cattle, singing
a hymn as melodiously as he can.
Gradually the animals come to a halt
drop down one by one, until at length
they are all asleep, and the tired singer
can rest his throat.
BRUIN AS A DEFENDER.
A Trapped Hear Whip a Mountain
1-ton
and a Coyote.
A Montana ranchman, having lost a
fine brood of ducks, set a bear trap
baited with fresh beef, and that night
heard a howl, which he recognized as
that of a coyote. Knowing that the
animal could not escape he turned over
to sloep again, when he heard such a
chorus of howls that he went out to in
vestigate. He found a coyote and a
cinnamon bear caught in the trap,
showing that both auininls had made
a strike for the beef at the same time
while ten feet away was a mountain
lion, waiting until one of the fighters
had killed the other before finishing
the winner. The bear and coyote
seemed to know this, and made no hos
tile sign, so the lion snealrcd around to
ttie top of ft sheep shod near by. where
ho lay crouched for a moment, and
then made a spritig, dropping squarelv
on the bear. A terrific struggle fol
lowed, in which the lion at first had
the best of it: but finally the bear got
a grip on his adversary's neck, the
lion's head dropped and he was
strangled to death. The bear was not
much better off, bleeding from many
wounds, but he still had life enough to
look after the coyote. Ho made two
strokes at the coward of the plains and
crushed the life out of him. Then the
bear staggered around a minute and
rolled over dead.
Tiikrk are now published in the
I'nitod Kinpdom 4,001 magazines. Of
these 471 aro of a ileouleilly religious
character. Almost every branch of
science and activity and thought is rep
resented, theosopliy alone having five
publications devoted to its advocacy.
THE POPE'S FINANCES.
A Continued Decrease in the Rev
enues of the Vatican.
Some nf the Sources of Income f poo
Which tbe Bead of the Roma a
Church Has to Depend
Have Failed.
Since the heavy losses made by the
pope a year or more ago the finances
of the Vatican have been superintended
with great care. It is known, says a
Paris paper, that a committee of pre
lates and several cardinals exist at
Rome whose duty it is to regulate the
use of the sums of money which flow
into the treasury of the Vatican. These
sums come principally from two
sources: The revenues of the property
possessed by the pope and the gifts of
the faithful known as Peter's pence.
The property of the Vatican is of
various kinds, but the greater part of
it consists of money and bonds placed
in England and Fance, under control
of the Paris house of Rothschild. Pe
ter's pence is an annual revenue which
is far from being fixed. In good years
the total of the sum received from all
countries of tbe world reaches 8.000,000
francs. Sometimes it is as low as
6,000,000 and even S,000,000.
This has been the case for the last
five years. This diminution is due in
great part to the discord between the
royalists and the French Catholics
produced by the republican policy of
the pope. France alone furnished two
thirds and often three-quarters of
Peter's pence. And in France it is the
royalists who prove themselves most
generous. Hut since the adhesion of
Leo XIII. to the republic many of
thein, more royalist than Catholic,
have closed their purses to the pope.
However, despite all this, French bish
ops still forward the largest sums to
his holiness. Thus the bishop of Xante
sent a few days ago 100,000 francs
from his flock as their gift to the Vat
ican treasury.
Italy contributes only a small part
of the revenue a few hundred thou
sand francs a year. The Romans show
themselves in this regardless generous
than other Italians. On the other
hand, the Anglo-Saxon countries
England, Ireland, Australia and the
United States begin to send impor
tant sums. If Catholicism continues
to grow in these countries it is easy to
see that in time the Vatican will draw
considerable sums from them.
Again, there are the royal courts,
such as Austria, which send annually
rich presents to the pope. This is even
true of princes of ancient Italian fam
ilies. Francis II., ex-king of Naples,
and Marie Theresa, formerly grand
duchess of Tuscany, never fail to send
their offerings, which consist of sever
al thousands of francs. The compte
de Chambord was accustomed to send
annually 50,000 francs; the count of
Paris sends the same sum.
The expenses of the Vatican,
amount annuallv to more than 7,000,
000 francs. They are regulated as
follows: For the personal wants of
iiiony with which lie was received.
W hen the newspaper man entered the
royal presence he found his majesty
standing ready to receive him. The
descendant of "Mahomet II. and of
Selim had no rich turbans, no jeweled
robes, no ornaments, nothing that dis
tinguishes princes from ordinary peo
ple in the east, except the true orna
ments of the noble and well born, po
lite heaving and refined expression,
lie appeared a perfect European
prince, if anything politer and simpler
than ordinary men. His majesty has
even cast oit the aigrette which his
predecessors wore with the fez. There
were no intricate ceremonies to be
gone through as at the reception of the
great mogul or at other eastern courts.
There were no attendants present as
are invariably to be seen in the private
rooms of eastern princes. "Sentiment
and tradition," says the correspon
dent, "compelled me to do homage to
the caliph like an oriental, with a
bow. As soon as the formality was
gone through his majesty shook hands,
took his seat and desired me to be
seated. The sultan was dressed plain
ly, wearing no orders, stars or decora
tions of any kind, lie is very fair, has
a round head plentifully covered with
grizzly gray hair, and possesses strik
ing features." The interview was of
the most chatty and friendly charac
ter, the sultan showing marked ac
quaintance with literature, especially
that of the east, and his information
on general subjects is extensive.
When the correspondent arose to take
his leave the Turkish ruler put his
hand on the visitor's head and gave
him by that aettheealiphal blessing.
With the multifarious duties that
he has to perform his majesty prays,
according to the Mohammedan cus
tom, five times a day with the regular
ity of a clock. He fasts for thirty
days during the month of the Rama
dhan. lie abstains from all kinds of
alcoholic beverages and from gamb
ling. He patronizes religious and
moral institutions not only among his
own people but among all the Moham
medans of the world. Moreover, he
does not confine his charity to the poor
and needy of his own religion, but, ac
cording to the dictates of the Koran,
he helps the deserving irrespective of
their religious beliefs. lie allows tol
eration to the highest degree, and is
himself anything but a bigot, lie
is a great patron of learning of all
kinds.
A Wonderful Tunnel
The cities of Wor.lcy and St. Helens,
in north Eng-land, are sixteen miles
apart, yet they are connected by the
most wonderful canal in the world. A
tunnel has been cut through tbe preat
vein of coal which underlies the whole
of Lancashire, and this, tilled with
water from the drainage trenches of
that jfreut system of mines, makes a
remarkable uiulerrouud canal, in
which the water is constantly five feet
deep. This canal is provided with a
reirular system of coal boats, which are
constantly moving thousands of tons
of the bituminous fuel between the
two cities.
u,uu(jUNG GOODS TO MEXICO.
Haled In New York for Transportation
Acrosa the Texas l.order.
Tassinp through Hudson street re
cently with a friend, snys a New York
Herald writer, I chanced to pass the
establishment of a firm of "folders and
repaekers" of dry poods. He fore the
door were a hundred or more little
bales of poods, bearing odd markings,
but showing that tliey were destined
for a firm in Texas, doing business in a
town near the Mexican line.
"Ho you know." asked my compan
ion, "why those goods are put up in
such small packages'.'"
I' port replying in the negative
Thev are to be smuggled
continued
across t he Meuiem line. The po.J
are purchased in their original pack
ages and delivered here. The wooden
boxes are discarded and the goods
subjected to hydraulic pressure and
baled. F.ach bale contains about thirty
pieces or half the number of an ordin
ary dry goods ease.
"The goods are then shipped to
Texas, and all marks removed. When
all is arranged some night the little
bales are slung across the backs of
mnles, two bales to each animal, and
with an armed escort the train pro
ceeds over the border to some dis
tributing point in Mexico, where the
goods are sold to Mexican traders at a
good profit.
"Smuggling in this manner is quite
extensively carried on between this
country and Mexico, the United States
getting in return for its dry goods,
which are the most easily handled,
cheap Mexican coffee and cigars. Of
course there is a suspicion that the il
licit traffic is known to the custom
officers of both countries and connived
at, but that would be a hard matter to
prove."
THE BOER LAIMOUAGE.
It Differs Materially from That of Hol
land. The "Afrikaansche Taal" is not the
Dutch of modern Holland. In its ori
gin it represents the old Dutch of the
country districts in the Netherlands,
together with a tendency toward the
Flemish dialect. It has incorporated a
great deal of English and a little
French, says the Fortnightly Review
Above all, its pronunciation is quite
different to that of the classic Dutch,
and it lends itself much more readily
to English tongues and palates. It is
almost impossible for a Dutchman of
Holland, on arriving in South Africa,
to understand the native Dutch dialect.
Words are greatly clipped, and, al
though the abominable guttural "g" is
still retained, the equally fatiguing
Dutch pronunciation of "s-c-h" is hap
pily changed into a simple "sk. the
vowels are pronounced almost as they
would be by an Englishman. I or in
stance, "beest" is pronounced like
"beast," not like "baste," as it would
be in Holland. A Cape Dutchman talks
of "De lleers;" he does not pronounce
it "De Hares," as the real Dutchman
would do. Needless to say, the "Afri
kaansche Taal" has no literature be
hind it, and all the best things written
in Holland have either made their ap
pearance in Latin, French, or even
English, or have rapidly been translated
into those languages if intended to be
widely read. The adoption, therefore,
of the English language throughout
South Africa is a necessity forced on
that community by commerce, manu
acttires, mining enterprise, and all
dealings with the outer world.
As a matter of fact, a young Boer will
learn English as quickly as a raw
rfcotehuian would exchange his harsh
dialect for the incisive, clear, quick
speech of southern England.
TYRANNOUS DOORKEEPERS.
An Odd Type of Man Peculiar to tne
Wholesale llusiiieMH Uousea.
From all outward appearances the
most important men in their own es,
timation in the large wholesale dry.
goods establishments of the city aie
the doorkeepers. In this respect they
occupy positions analagous to their
prototypes, the floor-walkers of the re
tail establishments, says the New York
Herald.
No doubt the positions have their re
sponsibilities, and what positions have
not in a large business house, from the
humblest two-dollar-a-week office boy
and porter to the head of the establish
ment'.' Responsibility, therefore, is not
monopolized by the doortenUers anu
affords no reason for the hne assump
tion of superiority which the actions
of the men imply.
The duty of the doorkeepers is pri
marily to take the time of the sales
men and clerks on entering and leav
ing the stores, shaking hands with hay
seed customers and bawling out the
names of the salesmen they desire to
see in stentorian tones. In addition to
these they are expected to exclude
peddlers and beggars and to see that
no one removes small parcels of mer-
chandise unless they bear the proper
"out check" of some one m authority.
It is in the manner in which these
sitnDle duties are performed which
makes many of the doorkeepers ridicu
lous. They would be obnoxious were
they not so supremely absurd. In a
voice, the volume of which might do
credit to the late Count Johannes in
passion, and with a look supposed to
strike terror to a guilty soul, one of
them stationed in a Broadway jobbing
house overawes little messenger boy
and creates in the minds of some of
the firm's humbler customers an im
pression that he is a powerful factor in
the firm.
This latter quite possibly is what
the man desires to do, for as a sup
posed power these simpletons seek to
propitiate Cerberus. 1 hey drop an oc
casional cigar into his hand and some
time during the winter probably send
him a turkey or a big pumpkin. With
the proprietor of the peanut-stand on
the corner and the bootblack, both of
who are priviledged to ply their trade
in consideration of keeping the side
walk clean, he exercises a mild system
of blackmail.
The vender, in return for his favored
glances, supplies him with peanuts and
apples; the bootblack shines his shoes
for nothing. No newspaper boy is per
mitted to enter the store without the
understanding that he is to give the
doorkeeper a paper. Such are the per
quisites of the position of doorneeper
in a wholesale downtown house. Not
all of them, of course, accept these
petty tyrannies, but some of them do,
and display a very contemptible spirit,
too, in doing so.
