A new rule has gone into effect in the
United States patent office, which is of
much Importance to inventors. Here
after, no models will be required to ac-
company applications for letters patent,
examiners depending solely on the
drawings in making up their decision.
When they are unable, owing to the in
tricacy of the invention, to decide II
knotty point, they are empowered to
call upon the inventor for model, but,
it is estimated, this will not be necessary
oftener than once in a thousand cases.
This will be a great saving to the in
ventor, and is highly satisfactory to the
patent attorneys; but we question
whether the model makers have re-
ceived the news with any great demon.

Serious inconvenience that attend
the gibbeting of a man where the pun
ishment of death is not regularly in
force are being felt in no little degree in
Russia now, where, capital punishment
having been abolished fer many years,
the machinery of the hangman has got
out of gear. Wladetsky, who shot at
Count Loris Melikoff, was executed after
an extremely rough-and. ready fashion,
common packing case having been
kicked from under him at given sig
Dal-an arrangement which Kept the
wretched man struggling several min
utes more than was necessary. The
clumsiness of this hanging reminds one
of the horrible accident that took place
at the execution of the conspirators at
the commencement of Nicholas reign.
On this occasion the ropes broke when
the signal was given, and the criminals
were precipitated into deep ditch
round the glacis of the fortress of St.
Peter and st. Paul, on the edge of which
the gibbet was set up. Two of the men
were found to have their legs broken,
and resigned themselves tamely enough
to be replaced under the gibbet. But
the third, who was Colonel Pestel, the
author and soul of the conspiracy, pre-
served his consciousness, and cried out
as he was being pinioned again, with q
voice that was heard above the beating
of the drums, "Whata miserable coun-

CONGRESSIONAL. SUMMARY,

A petition of Alfred Watts and sixty-six
others, citizens OF Thomaston, Me-, was offered
by Mr. Blaine, asking an inquiry into the
legality of the bridge now being erected
between the cities of New Y orb and Brooklyn.
The original act OF Congress, said MIR. Blaine,
which gave permission Tor the constitution oil
that bridge, contained a provision that 1t
should be so constructed as not to obstruct,
impair or injuriously modify navigation OF the
river. Some wires are already stretched
across, and it is found that all vessels that
have spars and masts of height OF lZO ieet
are unable to pass under IL, and that really
embraces the great majority OF the shipping
ships, and banks, and briggs and large
schooners. 1t is the common highway between
the Now England States and New York and
New Jersey. Referred.
Mr.. Cameron, of Pennsylvania, introduced
l joint resolution providing for a commission

Of three Senators to be appointed by the

Mr.. Clymer, from the appropriation com

But we have not room here to dwell ON
the attractions offered by the invertebrate
ANIMALS on this coast. The rocky shores
abound in varieties differing from the pro-
ducts of sandy and muddy bottoms, and
the different zones have their peculiar
forms Of animal and vegetable life, and
one has only to sweep the water with q
fine net, and drawing it through the sea-
weed, to gather an infinite variety of ami
NAL life, SO minute and delicate in form as
only to be seen with the aid of glass; At
the laboratory of the Fish Commission,
crabs not bigger than the head Of a pin
may be seen seen swimming in q shallow
dish, tiny forms, almost transparent, but
active and pugnacious when they meet
each other. These minute ANIMALS at this
stage are not fully formed. out have tail,
which, when not in use, Is drawn up
under the body. This appendge, like the
caudal one of the tadpole, disappears when
the creature has no further need of it. So
of the young of the lobster; ii has five feet,
while the abdominal segments are fiat
tened cut into tail lin. But perhaps there
is no greater change in the growth of any
of the erustacea, than that which charac-
terizes the star-tish. Its larvs seems CON-
plete in itself, and its movements are active
before 1t presents any of the aspects of the
parent fish. Even its temporary mouth
does not remain the permanent mouth of
the starfish 1t is the stariish that is the
great destroyer of oysters, and there is
nothing more tenacious of life. Tear of
one of its lobes or arms another will grow
in its place; tear of two, three-all of its
five arms, and it is able to reproduce them

Charlemagne,

Above the ordinary height of a man,
Charlemagne was giant in his statue as
in his mind; bat the graceful and easy pro-
portion of all his limbs spoke the combina-
ton of wonderful activity with immense
strength, and pleased while 1t astonished.
His countenance was as striking as his fig
ure; and his broad, high forehead, his keen
and flashing eve, and bland, unwrinkled
brow, offered a bright picture, wherein the
spirit of physiognomy, natual in all men,
might trace the expression off powerful In
tellect and benevolent heart. Gifted with
a frame, the corporeal energies of which
required little or no relaxation, and which,
consequently, never clogged and hampered
his intellect by fatigue, Charlemagne could
devote an immense portion OF his time to
business, and, without taking more than a
very small portion of sleep, could dedicate
the clear thoughts of an untired mind TO the
regulation of his kingdom, even while 9TH
er men were buried In repose. He was
accustomed, we are told, to wake sponta
neous,y, and rise from his bed four or five
times In the course of each night; and 50
great was his economy of moments, that
the brief space he employed in putting on
the simple garments with which he was
usually clothed, was also occupied in hear
ing the reports of his Count of the Palace,
or the pleadings OF various causes, which
he decided at those times with as much
clear wisdom as if listening to them on the
judgment seat.

Industrial America Abroad.

We recently announced the shipment of
brush and broom making machines to the
Holy Land by Schenectady firm They
were for the American colonists at the foot
of Mount Carmel. A short time ago the
cable announced that an American
moving machine had taken first prize in
trial on the fields of Bulgaria, Simultane-
ously from Australia came the announce
ment that an American watch had been
awarded the highest premium at the fair in
Melbourne. Europe and the East does its
weighing on American-made scales. A
correspondent in Paris gave lately an ac-
count of the introduction of American ele-
vators in hotels there. American hotel
palace cars have been introduced in
England in spite of English
prejudice, and will soon overcome the
opposition to their introduction in France
which the parsimony OF French CORPORA
tions maintains. Our bread-stuffs are sold
in every market of the hemisphere; and
special fleets of steamers convey live Am
erican beef to English markets Every
variety of canned goods finds favor there.
These are only few of the facts which
might be named in illustration of the re-
cent material development of America
abroad The growth Of our industries has
not been confined to home; marvellous as
it has been in the last decade OF two, il has
been equally surprising in the older coun-
tries. A few years ago American pork
and cotton were about the only staple pro-
ductious which Europe largely bought Of
US; now there is large trade in nearly
every article of food grown or machinery
invented in America.

A History of Church Pews.

In the early days of the Anglo-Saxon
and some of the Norman churches, a stone
bench, running around the interior of the
church, except on the east side, was the
only sitting accommodation for its members
and visitors. In 1919 the people are rep
resented as sitting on the ground, or stand
ing. A little later the people introduced

From 1880 to 1910, seats were more ap-
propriated- A cross-bar guarded the en-
trance, bearing the initial letters of the
owners. In 1908 galleries were first intro
duced; and as early as 1914 pews were
arranged To afford comfort by being baized

n Dive for Life.

Just below kanahwa Falls, in West Viz
giuia, is an overhanging rock of immense
size, jutting out about one hundred feet
over seething whirlpool and it was once
the scene of remarkable adventure.
The Indians were in hot pursuit of Van
Bibber, q settler, and man of distinction
in those early times. He was hard pressed
and all access to the river above and below
being cut off, he WAS driven to the jump
ing rock, which proved to be the jumping
off place for him. He stood on the rock,
with full view of the enemy above and be-
low. who yelled like demons at the GER
tainty of his capture. He stood up boldly,
and with his rifle kept them at bay. As
he stood there he looked across the river,
saw his friends-his wife and babe in her
arms-all helpless to render assistance.
They stood as if petrifed with terror and
amazelnent. She cried at the Top of her
voice:
leap into the river and meet mel"
Laying her hsbe ON the grass, she seized
the OARS and sprang into the skiff alone.
As she neared the middle of the river, her
husband saw the Indians coming in full
force and yelling iae demons
Wife, Wife." be screamed, I'm coming;
drop down a hit over.
With this he sprang from his crag and
descended like an arrow into the water,
feet foremost.
The wife rested on her oars a moment
to see him rise to the surface, the little
skiff floated like cork, bobbing about on the
boiling food. 1t was an awful moment;
it seemed an age TO her. Would he ever
rise? Her earnest gaze seemed to penetrate
the depth of the water, and she darted
her boat further downthe stream. He rose
near her, in q moment the boat was along
side of him, and she helped him to scram-
BILE into it amid q shower of arrows and
shotthat the Indians poured into them. The
daring wife did not speak word; her
husband was more dead than alive, and all
depended on her strength being maintained
till they could reach the bank. This they
did, Just where she had started, right
where the babe was lying, Growing and
laughing. The men pulled the skiff high
on the land, and the wife slowly arose and
helped to lift Van Bibber to his feet. He
could not walk, but she laiu him down be-
side his babe, and then seating herself, she
wept wildly, just as any other woman
would have done under the circumstances.
That babe is now a grandfather and that
rock is called "Van Bibber's Rock" to this
dayn

The French Government has just con-
ferred the military medal upon young
woman employed in the telegraph Office
at Pithivers during the war of 1870. Upon
the arrival of the German forces in that
town during the month of November, they
at once, as was their wont, took possession uf
the telegraph office and relegated Mdlle.
Dodu, the young woman in charge, to a
room, and Mdlle. Dodu managed TO tap
them and convey the information to the
sub-prepect- One day telegram az lived
from the Prussian staff at Orleans address
ed TO Prince Frederick Charles, informing
him of the march of French corps upon
Glen, and suggesting the movements to be
made in order to surround it. This tele-
gram she took to the su5-prefect who made
three copies of 1t for the commander OF the
French corps, sending each by q different
messenger. Two of the messengers were
killed, but the third arrived, and the in
formation enabled the French commander
to make q timely retreat. The Prusaisns
did not as certain what had taken place un-
til Just before the armistice, but for which
Mdlls. Dodu might have Jared badly.

Osborne House.

Osborne adjoins the estate of Norris Cas-
tie, where the Queen spent some time in
childhood, and her selection of the place
in mature years was probably due TO early
impressions The Queen and Prince seem
soon to have felt a desire for-what her
predecessors on the throne never had-a
home of their very own. as opposed to an
official home, and the private home OF Os-
borne was soon supplemented by tha. OF
Balmoral. 1t is scarcely probable that a
radical House of Commons will be content
to vote much longer the great sum annually
demanded for maintaining royal palaces al
which the sovereign never resides.
Besides Buckingham Palace-where her
residence now averages about ten days q
year-the Queen has Kew, Hampton Court,
Kensington, Busby Park, ST. James, the
white Lodge in Richmond Park, Frogmore,
all at her disposal, should she please to oc-
cupy them, and all main aimed at public
cost, besides Holyrood in Scotland, where
occasionally she has spent few days.
keEsington and Hampton Court are now
given up in part to pensioners of position.
The accumulation OF these palaces has been
in considerable decree due to the indi-
vIduai caprice OF various sOvereigns.
William ILL hated the splendid palace of
Whitehall, and was not sorry when ire ef-
faced the triumphs OF Holbein and lingo
Jones. He lived at Kensington, and occa-
sionally at Hampton Court. Anne lived at
Kensington and Windsor, as did the Geor-
ges up to and inclusive of George IL.
George LII and Charlotte lived at st. James,
Windsor ami Kew until Buckingham
House was bought.
George Ill also lived great deal at
Frogmore, in Windsor Park. For years
he did not occupy Windsor Castle. George
vi lived, after he came to the throne, al
Buckingham Palace, Windsor, and the Pa
vilion Brighton, and spent on them then,
probably, at a rough calculation, 81, 500, 900.
William lV, not at all representative
King lived chiefly at Windsor and Buck
ingham palaces. So lar as Windsor,
Hampton Court, Busby and Richmond are
concerned, their surroundings are entirely
free to the public, who can ride and drive
in nearly every part of their parks. Were,
however, Kensington Palace, plain brick
building, covering several acres, razed and
fine houses erected, the public would not
suffer by the loss of a recreation ground,
and the public treasury would gain to the
extent of a sum nearly covering all allow
ances paid TO the royal family, except that
to the Queen.
