KILLING RE1RS.

The Esqui naux have most curious
and Ingenious way of killing bears. They
sharpen the ends of a piece of whale
bone foot or more long, then bend it
double, and wrap it closely in fat meat,
which is exposed to the air till it freezes.
These treacherous pellets are thrown to
the bear, which bolts them whole. They
thaw in his stomach, the bent whale
bone straightens, and the sharp points
pierce his vitals whenever he attempts
to move,

each full year. Thus.
This is in several respects a most ex-

This is in several respects most ex-
traordinary exhibition. How comes it
that there is such an enormous increase
since the late war began? The patents
issued in 1876 were five times those of
1861. Has the South opened richer
field for patent inventions, or have the
inventive minds of many persons left
destitute been set to work to retrieve
their fortdnes2 At any rate it is curl
Gus subject. Can we imagine this vast III
crease of patents to go on? We suspect
that the latter cause.-The want of some
thing to do by many persons thrown out
of employment-has stimulated inven-
ton. The number of patent rights
agents going through the country is only
to be rivaled by the number of life IN
surance agents. The latter persons make
one of the extraordinary phenomena Of
the times. They are endeavoring to per-
suade people that gambling in lives is
the best of business.
The distribution of patents to resi-
dents of different States is another Curl
GUS thing. Some of them are as follows:

THE PATENT OFFICE.

Some of Its Curiosities-Hotc Big Fortunes
are Made Ont of Little Things.
OF all the departments of our Govern
ment there is not one more curious or
interesting than the Patent Office. The
American people are an inventive peo-
pie, End have more scope for invention
than any other. The unlimited range
of thought and action in our country
affords an equally unlimited range of
speculation and enterprise. There is
first the opportunity for a speculative or
inventive mind to produce something
new, and then there is chance, almost
probability, that if he does invent
something new it will be profitable.
Once i1Isa while there is a prodigious
prize to be drawn; and, when we reflect
how many thousands of people take
their chance at the gambling table, we
can imagine how many are grasping at
that prize. The sewing machine was
such prize. Millions of dollars have
been made net profits out of the sewing
machine. Tens of thousands of them
have been exported to Europe. Tens of
thousands of people have been en-
ployed in making them. Altogether
the sewing machine is one of the great
est prizes of inventive power; in fact
one of the wonders of the modern
world. But great profits are sometimes
made by small things. Gen. Schenck,
formerly Chairman of the Committee
of Ways and Means, said that in taking
testimony on the tariff he found that
child's toy Eve believe the springing
ball with string,) had produced a
large fortune to its proprietor. There
are other inventions more numerous
which produce little or nothing; and
they constantly spring up, because of
conviction that, if successful, they
would be profitable. One of these is a
washing machine. There are probably
more than thousand patents for wash
ing machines. Undoubtedly a patent to
supply the place of human hands would
be most profitable thing. The sewing
machine is this to certain extent. In
this regard the reapers, mowers, sepa-
rators and other agricultural machinery
come in for large place. In Ohio, Mr..
Aultman, of Canton, made great profits.
It is said that at the beginning of the
business a man came to Aultman and
wanted the right to sell in ten counties.
Neither of them knew what it was like
ly to be worth, and he was asked 81 900.
little capital Mr.. A. said he could have
the rights at SO per machine. At the
end af the time agreed upon he had
paid Mr.. Aultman ten times the amount
originally asked Another of the great
subjects of patent rights is the stove.
There are hundreds of patents for
stoves, many of them for only door,
or form, or device. But they answer
the purpose of securing to the manu-
facturer a certain kind of stove. The
demand for stoves is immense, and the
varieties wanted are almost innumerable,
as we know for the different sizes of
families, the different modes of living,
and the different tastes. The progress
of the Patent Office, in the number, re-
ceipts, forms and varieties is really won
derful. We happened to take the last
report of the Bureau of Statistics, which
contains popular view of this progress.
We will give statement of results for
each full wear. Thus

Is thing Some of them are as follows

These States furnish two-thirds the
whole number of patents, and now New
England furnishes the largest proportion
to population There is a reason for
this aside from any inventive faculty.

INDIAN SUMMER.

Oh! these days,
Autumn days!
When the languid earth lies dreaming
In sort of golden haze;
When amidst the verdant woodlands
Stand the naples all ablaze:
Gold and crimson, brown and orange,
How they rise,
Glowing pyramids of color,
To the skies.
When the summer tasks are done,
And the song-birds southwards gone,
And no sound
Stirs the voiceiess, breathless forest;
Save when, far away and seldom,
The ripe acorn strikes the ground;
Or when leaves,
With melancholy rustic,
And unstirred by any breeze,
Circling downward from the trees,
Spread around
rich carpet brighter tinted
Than the cunning Persian weaves.
Oh! these days,
Autumn days
Who can paint the glow and glory
Of these halcyon autumn days?

would make first class travel but
unless something of the kind is done
it will be bad travelling all winter,
and cur city viii loose many hun
