CHARLES READE, the well known English
novelist, thus justly compliments the in
,ennve talent of the American people
American genius is at this moment at
the head of the nations for mechanical
invention. | learn from Coryton, the
last English writer on patents, that she
took out her first patent in 1890 in 1900
took out 80 patents in 1910, 222; in
1880, SOL; in 1910, 452 in 1s49, L.

Britain, and has maintained the lead ever
since.
Europe teens with the products Of
her mechanical genius. Her inventors
draw large percentages from England,
and no Englishman grudges them, for
they leave us still their debtor. The
per eminence this nation has attained in
mechanical invention rests on the rock
OF statistics, and my little paltry expert
ence can neither contradict nor confirm
statistics; still cannot help remarking

either by the Adams press-invented,

Columbian press, which is still in vogue
here, though long ago exploded in the
leading nation.
The constructive Jus Of this people,
stimulated by sound legislation, teaches
us lessons at every turn. Look at their
'hotels-the wonder of this world ours

reticulated with Geographic wires. so that
at the first alarm Of fire an engine is rung
for; here it is run for, and that is why it
often finds the house on the ground floor,
and drenches the smoking ruins, which
hiss it for not managing better. l go

mechanical construction, not by an extra
cloud Of canvas.
The other day an American hydraulist
treated with Russia for wet goods
bought her ships under water at Sebas-
topol. While he was getting ready his
machinery to raise them, and tow them
away at his TAIL he prepared his market.
His advertisement was to this effect ::
ANY second rate power that wishes to
subjugate thirdrate country can have
tidy little fleet for the purpose, by
treating with ME, Jonathan ): y, in Sc

of nations as we'll as of men, and there
is not another nation under the canopy
OF heaven capable of that advertisement,
and also acting in the spirit Of it.

A very small man who is blessed
with very large wife, that instead of
looking up to him with admiration, is n
the habit of looking down upon him
with something akin TO contempt, called
her yesterday in her presence, by way
Of compliment. "my better half"
your better half !" said she, with a
disdainful toss of the head "you had
better say your best three-quarters you
are not more than one fourth Of the
Joint concern, no howl"
