PATENTS! STELLA. NOTICE TO INVENTORS. Tbere was never a time in the history of our ooaotry when the demand (or inventions and improvements in the arts and sciences generally was bo great as now. The conveniences of mpakind in the faotory and workshop, the household and on the farm, as well as in official life, require continual accessions to the appurtenauce and impliments of each in order to saye labor, time and expense. The political chunge 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 oouoeiviug the remedy to overoome existing discrepan cies. Too great care cannot be excr eted in ohoosing 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 strength of the patent is never con sidered in view of a quick endeavor to get an allowanoe aud obtain the fee. THE PRESS CLAIMS COMPANY, John Wedderburn, General Manager 618 F street, N. W.,Wanhington, D. C, representing a large number of impor tant daily and weekly papers, and gen eral periodicals of the country, was in stituted to oroteot its natrons from the nnsafe methods heretofore employed in this line of business. The said Com pany is prepared to take charge of all patent business entrusted to it for rea sonable fees, and prepare and proseoute applications generally, including me chanioal inventions, design patents, trade-marks, labels, copyrights, interfer ences, infringements, validity reports, and gives especial attenion to rejected eases. It is also prepared to entwr into competition with any firm in securing foreign patents. Write for instructions and advice. John Wkwikhhpkn. f18 F Street, P. 0. Box 385. Washington, D. C.

The spot is ctntrully situated for water transporta tion nf the erop across the prairie by its central (lraiu:iv canal, and is easily iiceessible from a region where there ;irc no larjre prairies to cultivate. Near tlaiuesville and in the city there are i:iany places where it is often noticed that where horses trot over them a hollow sound dimes from the '.'round. I have traced on some of these spots the very same lines that are found nt the sinks. At Ocala, Dade City, Tampa and Port Tatnpn City I have found the same lines, and I have la-en told of many other places where these lines have been traced by ffentie mcn interested iu the same Hue of In vest ij.'at ion.

On one of these occasions, says the L'tica Observer, one of the pressmen, a man who had worked for the elder liennett, und was an excellent workman, though guilty of an occasional lapse from sobriety, had a bad black eye and was in a fptandary us to what excuse he should offer if Mr. liennett noticed it. Act ing on a sudden inspiration he seized an ink roller und ru hired a duub of Ink on the side of his face completely con cealing the discoloration of the skin. Presently Mr. liennett came Into the press room, und with the superintend ent,. John Hays, went curefully through, criticising every detail, and looking sharply at each employe. When alxiut to leave he turned suddenly, and, pointing to the besmirched pressman, he said: "Mr. Hays, what Is that man's name?" The culprit quaked In his shoes until Mr. liennett said, slowly: "I wunt you to give that man three dollars per week more wages; he is the only man In the room who looks as If he had been working."
