Visionary Genlnses Who Imagine Thai
Complicated Devices Are Going to
Become the Wonder of the
Civilised World.
There are queer people in this world.
Among the queerest are some of the
inventors who flood the patent office
with their severely queer designs.
"Yes," said an official recently, "we
see multitudes of 'cranks' at this build
ing, and our chief amusement is to
read the specifications of ambitious
but erratic inventors, who clamor for
a grant of patent. . There is the air
ship 'crank,' with a quiet notion in his
head that he is to be some day a pub
lic benefactor, but who really knows
as much about aerostation as a jack
rabbit. Next to him in oddities of
thought is the fire-escape dreamer,
with his ladders, pulleys and cables."
Upon investigation in the record
room I discovered drawings of the lat
est patents piled on a low shelf. Upon
perusal the first device of a peculiar
nature was discovered. The invention
in question was an improved method
of exterminating mosquitoes, for which
a Texan was given letters patent. The
winged messengers of bliss probably
made themselves obnoxious to the
patentee and he determined to anni
hilate the whole species. His inven
tion is a queer and complicated inter
mixture of screens, gauze and whirring
mechanism, into which the little buzz
ing songsters are drawn and effectual
ly annihilated.
Another inventive genius from the
west solicited a patent for a fruit
picker. This instrument is a very
modest-looking affair, resembling
somewhat one-half of a pair of shears.
A small ring fits over the fore-finger of
the operator, and brings at right angles
a cutting edge or blade. The fruit to
be cut is held in the left hand, and by
grasping the stem in a certain manner
with the right hand and giving a quick
twist either the aforesaid fruit or the
thumb will be severed. The inventor
ia this case seemed to overlook the
fact that the greatest varieties of
American fruits do not grow on bushes
or within reach of the hand, and last,
but not least, the welfare of the per
son handling his useful little imple
ment has to bo respected.
A littld way down in the file Is a pe
cullar looking machine, patented by a
Michigander and used by said gentle
man in lifting pans from stoves. The
apparatus embodies Buch a complicated
mass of levers, screws and other similar
devices of mechanism that It is safe to
say his panliftcr will never find popular
favor in the American kitchen.
For the past six months a car-coup
ling epidemic has spread Itnelf and
permeated every state in the union.
The cpidemla is a mania for all classes
to invent car-couplers and get patent
grants therefor.
The larger portion of these couplers
are so complicated and uncles that the
anxious patentees will never receive
an lota of good from their inventions.
A certain individual from the Km-
pire state nnraed Collins applied for a
grant on a wickleaa lamp. The latter
was tested and an explosion followed.
The lamp and application went to
pieces together.
Hut the queerest of queer departures
InthisenlighUnedage is that taken by
an eccentric resident of Ohio, who in
vented an equally eccentric boat on
eccentric Ideas. The loat wan" to be
so constructed as to roll over the wa
tera In the faahlon of a log or wheel.
This strange craft was to lie propelled
by the wind striking on suitable
blades standing out from the radii
of the hull. The Ohiosn fulled to
state in hi spi-t illeatinna how the
crew of the boat would dianoae of
themselvea during the revolution of
the body on the surfare of the deep,
and the examiner m-dI his application
h !( her than a balloon.
Then coine alutig a certain man
named Knox, alma fide tltixen of a
southern stare, who haa not apparently
profiled by the esamplo of the Aineri
can who tried lo celeb sunshine some
years ago. This modern mortal has
constructed a conundrum whhh he
allege will effectually rapture the
heat from old hud, and retain the same
for later ums This ihilowphiel won
der I In the hand of the originator's
attorney, and ha nut as yet mad
lie appearance In the lnt riur drparV
meht, where It will l prar Ileal!
tested, and lio n, lii all prohahility, It
will II tid a deep grave under the de
partment foundation.
Another late appll' allot I that of
Jameafieary, whorlalm he ran rapture
and store etmoapherio electricity dur
lor a thundrr storm for home eon

crown of Hungary battered, dinted
and black as old iron. We gaze on it,"
ays a writer in the Argosy, "with rev
erential awe) for surely no crown in
the world has uudorgone such wonder
ful vicissitudes. When the royal line
of Orfod became extinct Hungary was
filled . with - confusion. ; The pope
crowned one candidate; the diet elected
another, who immediately donned the
coronation robes and the silver crown.
His pretensions .were speedily sup
pressed oy the king of Bohemia, who
surrounded the walls of Iiuda with his
troops, and carried, off both king and
crown to an impregnable Bohemian
fortress.
"Otto of Bavaria was then chosen by
the Hungarians as their future ruler,
on condition that he should first re
cover the famous crown, with which
the fortunes of Hungary have ever
been so closely connected. The Ba
varian prince agreed to the conditions,
and, disguising himself in the garb of
a merchant, he set forth on his quest
and reached Bohemia in safety. He
speedily learned that the country was
on the verge, of ruin; war had deel
mated the population and exhausted
the national finances. The land -was
nntilled and the resources of the king'
dom at the lowest ebb. Under these
circumstances, the value of, the Hun
garian crown as a trophy of victory
was at a discount. The misfortunes of
the impoverished state and the dire
necessities to which it was reduced de
stroyed chivalrous sentiment and na
tional pride. The supposed merchant
profited by the situation, and soon en
tered into such successful negotiations
with the harassed and pauperized
government that he was enabled to se
cure, the possession of the silver crown.
"Elizabeth, the widowed queen of
King Albert of Hungary, was the next
to disturb . IW- eefatw of the silver
crown. The death of the king had
plunged the country into a vortex of
strife and confusion. In the midst of
the contest she rcaolved to escape
from the dangers which threatened
her, taking with her the ancient
crown. After taking refuge in Ger
many aha was reduced to abject pover
ty, and In her distress she pawned the
historic crown of Hungary to Em

and, after much bloodshed, the bat
tered crown was recovered by the nun
garian army and taken back In triumph
to Buds, where it was locked up In
fort re aa and guarded night and day by
two state dlfrnitaries chosen from the
Magyar nobility. The strife and tu-
uit which for so many centuries aur
rounded the silver crown only In
created it moral value and heightened
its significance, finally winning the
due recognition of Hungarian needs
and requirement. The brave Magyar
race stoutly refused to denationalize
itself by Incorporation with Austria,

ernment for Hungary waa admitted
l'ranols Joseph of llapaburg, waa aol

A discovery of probably great ar-
shffiological value, as regards the pre
historic people of the United States,
was recently made on the farm of H.
Richwalls, twenty-five miles southwest
of Decatur, in Wise county, Tex. It
consists of a pavement of petrified
wood covering the summit of a mound
one and a half acres in area. Samples
of the pavement were brought to the
Dallas News by D. M. Garvin, of Cleve
land, 0., who made the following
statement regarding the . discovery:
"The mound is sixty feet high, square
shaped and with sloping Bides. It was
looked upon as an ordinary clay struc
ture until a short time ago, when, in
digging the soil on the summit, which
Is level and measures an acre and a '
half, a petrified pavement was struck
under what appeared to be a shallow
deposit of drift. Further explorations
showed that the entire -summit of the
mound was paved, The petrified blocks
were laid on ends as compactly as a
Mcholson pavement. In places the
pavement is perfectly smooth, while in
other places, owing to the depression
that the soil has undergone during the
ages, it is Irregular. The mound.
which was constructed with mathemat
ical precision, also contains some
blocks of stone that seem to have been
used in a building." The samples of
the pavement are four inches long, and
undoubtedly are petrified wood. Three
inches of their length is silica and the
remaining inch, measuring to the
wearing surface, is carbonate of i lima.
This combination, which is not uncom
mon in petrifications, shows that the
pavement was probably set in sillcious
sand and that the upier part was sub
jected to the action of water contain
ing lime In solution. The blocks give
evidence of having been split by a
sharp Instrument and sawed at the up
per snrface. hile thousands of
mounds have been discovered on this
continent this is the only one In which,
through the agency of petrification,
oatarc haa embalmed an evidence of a
place In civilization occupied 0y tlm -atmind
builder far In advance of what
had been accorded them by anti
quarian.
That this rm'Htcrinns race practiced
tbe art of agriculture is proved by the
fact that motuids are so close together
la some districts a to have rendered it
Impossible for their occupants to have
rohsistcd by fishing and hunting; and
that those inhabitants engaged In min
ing aud commerce Is proved by the die-
livery In I'eruvian mound of Lake
Superior copper. But although copper
hleela, rlinmera and Indented knives
that might have lieen used as saws)
nave been found in mounds, there
never was any proof that the mound
builders were wood workers until this
tlscovery In Wise county. Wood being
so article that time drstroya, all it ev
idence of the home life of the mound
builders must necessarily have long
tlnee been obliterated, except where
preserved by the agency of pelrlflra
tion. While thi agency In the Wise
Soiisty mound ha only preserved a
beautiful pavement, It may be inferred
thai a people, auluciently advaaeed Ir)
eaeeale a work that In recent years

ter have no tradition concerning the
origin of mounds, and were they the
