Population VS.. Patents.

The last annual report of the Commis-
sioner Of Patents embraces tabular state.
ment showing the number of patents issued
during the year to each state and territory,
and the ratio between the patents issued
and the population. We are indebted to
Mcssrs. Louis Bagger & Co., patent at
tornies, in Washington, d. c., for the
following interesting data from this table
The state Of New York quite naturally,
it having the largest population) received
more patents for new inventions than any
other statc-3,771. Next to New York
comes Pennsylvania, with 1904; next
ranks Massachusetts,, with 1876; next
Illinois, with l Jos and next Ohio, with
1901 patents But the proportion o.
patents to population, as indicating the
seat of the inventive genius of the country
is more significant. In the preceding re
port of the Commissioners, Connection
(thc land Of wooden nutmegs y led tho
list but this year the District of Columbi,
takes the lead, with one patent for new
invention issued to every 615 of the popu
lation; Connecticut having only one paton
to every 76l of the entire population
Massachusetts,, also in this respect, stands
third in the list, the proportion being one t.
every 1877. "Little Rhody" comes fourth
with one to every 943 The least inven.
tive State, us shown by this table, is Arkan
sas, which received but one patent to every
44,O42 Of her population,

Between 1900 and 10000 alligator
skins are tanned yearly, which are con.
sumed by boot and shoe manufacturers in
every portion of the United States, as we
as exported to London and Hamburg.
The alligators formerly came almost en-
tirely from Louisiana, and New Orleans
was the great centre of business. The
Florida swamps and morasses are now the
harvest fields, and Jacksonville, in that
State, the great depot The alligators
often attain length Of eighteen to twenty
feet, and frequently live to very old age.
The hides are stripped of, and the belly
and sides, the only portions fit for use, are
packed in barrels, in strong brine, and
shipped to the Northern tanner, who keeps
them under treatment for from six to eight
months, when they are ready to be cut up
So far the leather has been maiuly used In
the manufacture Of boots. and shoes, but
handsome slippers are also made of it.

Further particulars are received from
the interior of the Island of Cuba of the
recent foods there and their destructive
effects. On one plantation eight feet of
water remained on the ground five days
after the hurricane. Low lying lands
were overaowed to the height of the house
tops, only the chimneys on some of the
plantations being visible above the water,
The inundation extended over an area of
about forty miles. Some fifteen or twenty
plantations are spoken of as having been
entirely ruined, and more than fifty small.
or farms were destroyed. No exact esti.
mates have been so far made, but it is
supposed that the sugar crop has been
damaged to the extent of fifteen or twenty
per cent. This will reduce it to about the
size of that of last year, as it promised to
be exceptionally large. The tobacco crop
does not appear to have been much in.
jured, but will be backward.

PROBABLE DEMAND IN ENGLAND FOR
AMERICAN WHEAT.-There are many in.
dications in England of the probability Of
a large demand there this winter for Amer.
lean wheat. A writer in the London
Times says that last year the British wheat
crop was % per cent. below an average
whilst this year it is II per cent. below
The amount this year available for con,
sumption, after dedueting the wheat ne.
cessary to be retained for seed, is stated
at about 72,000,000 bushels, the average
yield per acre being 20 bushels this year
The requirements of the population for the
year are estimated at 18l 900 900 bushels.
Therefore 1l2,000,0O0 bushels must be
imported, an amount about equal to the
imports of foreign wheat into England
during the past year, In the wheat trade
the fact is demonstrated in England that
wheat eau be imported cheaper than it can
be grown. Each year there Is diminu.
ton in the acreage sown. Thus the in
creased yield per acre this year, compared
with last year, is entirely Offset by the re.
duced surface planted in wheat, which is
but 3,ll4,556 acres. England now looks
to the United States as her chief source
of supply for foreign wheat, of which San
Francisco sends her probably the greatest
amount Of any single port.

objects at the recent cattle show of the
Centennial Exhibition were the fat cattle,
and the most conspicuous of these were
four enormous steers known as the Chester
county, Canada, New Jersey and Missouri

to $500 pounds, each one claiming to be
the heaviest. They were examined by
the judges and weighed on September 26ti,
with the following result LIST, Gen. Kear-

milksop, George VIM. Curtis, editor Of
Ha,per's Weekly, gave vent to the follow
ing uttsrahces in that pink of sjournal
Of civilization a few days before the
election:
Fraud in the North and force in the South,
Ignorance, idleness, and the grog. shop, hostil-
icy TO the free-school system, the widest fan
cies ofinAation, the slums Of the great cities,
the Ku-Klux, hatred Of the Union, and pro-
found distrust Of the American principle
these are the forces that can alone elect Mr..
Tilden. We do not say thathe has no intel
ligent and sincere supporters. Weknow that
he has. But the great mass, the currents
and forces Of his support, lie in those classes
and interests which are not the friends Of
order, liberty, progress, or reform. Ifpeace,
prosperity, and advancing civilization lie
with ignorance, imitation, fraud, and the shot
gun, the election Of Mr.. Tilden may promote
them. But If fraud and force endanger all
that good citizens most value, his election
would be grave public calamity. Harper 5

From the Baltimore S3a of yesterday.
The Republican claims in regard to
Louisiana, South Carolina and Florida
walked up the democracy yesterday all
over the country, and the result was
another day of intense excitement and
anxiety. The scenes in New York, Phil
adelphia and elsewhere were unparalleled.
In Baltimore the feeling Of anxiety was
most intense, and immense throngs crowd
ed the vicinity of South and Baltimore
streets until evening when The Sun Elk
ira, with its specials from the three States
in question appeared and dispelled the
doubts of the day. The Republican man
ayers continued to keep up their claims,
and some Of the most extrayagant dis
patches came from the virtuous Kellogg
in Louisiana, Stearns in Florida, and other
noted Republicans in the South. The news
from the most reliable sources this morn
ing, as win be seen by our dispatches, Sc
cure beyond doubt the election of Tilden
and Hendricks. What such men as KEEL
logg and others viii do to create trouble
remains to be seen. The following are
the latest advices:
THE RESULT.
WASHINGTON, November AT mid
night the private secretary of Governor
Tilden telegraphed here that Florida, Lou
