Cutting Out Work For them.


Cutting Out Work For them.
Philadelphia Times.
Thomas f.. Franklin, LII. d., of Ian
caster, represents the Pennsylvania bar in
the executive council OF the American
bar as citation, and Hugh NJ. North, also
Il member of the Lancaster bar, is an
nOunccd rs one of the "lOcal council for
this state. Unless their official positions
are purely ornamental, they will promptly
summon the bar OF Lancaster to the dis
passionate and exhaustive examination Of
the public charges made against MIR.
Davis, a prominent candidate for district
attorney in that county. 1t is not qucs-
ton of politics, but it is 4 question Of mo
ment to the bar, if it would CON-
mand public respect for the legal pro-
fessiOn. So far rs party interests aIc
involved, an impartial decision of the case
of Mr.. Davis would be great kindness to
the party that has nominated him. II lie
is innocent hc and his party would be
fully vinllicated, and if Inc is guilty the
party would be justly relieved Of the shame
of such candidate. AS tho accusations
are of the sr;Ivest character-charges
which, if sustained, the law would punisl,
with dismissal and disgrace and rs they
have been made by reputable public jour
nails of both parties, there can be no pos
sible excuse for the bar association refus-
ing to consider them. Mr.. Franklin and
Mr.. North represent the two political par
ties of Lancaster as well as the best elc-
ments Ofthe bar, and they have an individual
duty to perform that cannot be put upon
others.

LITTLE TANGLES.'

Once there was king who employ
ed his people to weave for him The
silk and patterns were all given by the
king. He told the workers that when
any difficulty arose they should send
to him, and never to fear troubling
him. Among men and women busy
at their looms was one little child,
whom the king did not think too
young to work Often alone at her
work, cheerfully an patiently she
labored. One day, when the men and
women were distressed at the sight of
their failures, the silks were tangled,
and the weaving unlike the pattern,
they gathered round the child and said
"Tell us how it is that you are so
happy in your work. We are always
in difficulties"
"Then why do you not send to the
king?" said the little weaver "he
told us that we might do So"
$50 we do, night and morning."
"Ah," said the child, "but l send
directly find | have little tangle."
So let US take all our wants and
troubles directly to the Lord in prayer.
He invites us to do so and promises
to help us

A CHANCE FOR INVENTORS
THE $1,000 CAR.

Our readers will remember that q
prize of So, 900 was offered last year by
the American Humane Association 70:
cattle car so constructed as to allow
cattle to lie down while in transit, and
to be fed and watered while in the cars.
This to prevent the suffering caused by
long standing and the injury and delay
incident to unloading and reloadng.
The president of the association, Mr.
Lee Brown, announces in a circular
that the money has been pledged and
nearly all of it paid over to the secre-
tary of the association and deposited
with trustworthy bankers, All com
petitors for the prize are required to
send their models and plans, with full
descriptions, to Nj. Brown, corner
Clinton and Jackson streets, Chicago
ILL.,, before the lst day of October next
All communications with regard to the
prize should also be addressed to Mr.
Brown.
The judges appointed are Edwin Lee
Brown, Chicago, ILL., John B. Wins
low, Boston, Mass. A. Kimball, Dav-
export, Ia William Monroe, Brighton,
Mass. E. 7. Jeffery, Chicago, Ill
The judges do not prescribe the size
or the internal arrange nent Of the need
ed car; but among plans which meet
the conditions, that will have the pref
erence which can most readily and
cheaply be adapted to the cattle car
now in use OF course, also, that car
which can be most easily adapted to
the transportation of other live animals
and merchandise, if in other respects
satisfactory will have the preference
1t is expected that competitors will
take out patents for their inventions,
before submitting them, or not, as each
shall choose but the judges must be
fully satisfied of the legal title of q
claimant to his invention, before award
ing to him the prize, or any part of it.
The prize winner must also convey to
the American Humane Association, or
to such persons as its Executive Com
mittee shall designate, patent for the
United States and Canada of the inven-
tion, which shall be satisfactory to sail
committee, before any part of the prize
money will be due to him.
AS models and plans may be seen by
others than the Judges while in their
possession, they suggest. as precau-
tionary measure, that each inventor file
caveat at the United States Patent
Office before sending them m-Scientifc

NEVADA'S M TURAL PHE-
NOMENA.

Nevada is land of curious phenom-
ena. Her rivers have no visible outlet
to the ocean. She has no lakes of any
magnitude. She has vast stretches of
alkali deserts, however, that give every
indication of having been the beds or
bottoms of either seas or lakes. Down
in Lincoln county there is spring of
ice-cold water that bubbles up over a
rock and disappears on the other side,
and no one has been able to find where
the water goes. At another point in
the same country is a large spring,
about twenty feet square, that is ap-
parently only some eighteen or twenty
inches in depth, with u sandy bottom.
The sand can be plainly seen, but on
looking closer it is perceived that this
sand is in perpetual state of unrest.
No bottom has ever been found to this
spring. 1t is said that teamster, on
reaching this spring one day, deceived
by it's apparent shallowness, concluded
to soak one of his wagon wheels to
cure the loosness of its tire He there
fore took it off and rolled in into the,
as be thought, shallow water. He new
er laid eyes on that wheel again. Our
mountains are full of caves and cav
erns, many of which have been explor
ed to q great distance. Speaking of
caves, a redeo was held last spring
over in Huntington valley. During its
progress quite number Of cattle were
missed and for time unavailing search
was made for them. At last they were
traced to the mouth of natural tunnel
or cave in the mountain. The herders
entered the cave, and followed it for a
long distance, at last found the cattle.
1t appears they had probably entered
the cave, which was very narrow, in
search of water. 1t had finally narrow
ed so that they could proceed no furth-
er. Neither could they turn around to
get out. They had been missed some
days, and if they had not been found
must inevitably have perished in q
short time. As it was they were ex-
tracated from their predicament with
difficulty, by the herders squeezing
past and getting in front of them and
soaring them into a retrograde move
ment by tapping their hats into the
faces of the stupid boyines.-Eureka
Leader.

ABSENCE OF MIND.

Speaking of absence of mind" said
the Rev. Sidney Smith, "the oldest
instance happened to me once in for
getting my name. l knocked at a
door in London, and asked if Mrs. -
was at home. Yes, sir; pray what
name shall say p l looked in the
mans face astonished-what name ?
Aye, that is the question-what is my
name ? | believe the man though me
mad, but it is true that during the
space of two of three minutes | had no
more idea of who / was than if I had
never existed. / did not know wheth-
er | was dissenter or layman / felt
as dull as Sternhold or Jenkens. At
last to my relief it flashed across me
that | was Sidney Smith. l heard
also of clergyman, who went jog
ging along on road until he came to a
turnpike. What is to pay?" "Pay
sir for what ?" asked the turnpike
man: "Why, for my horse, to be
sure!" Your horse, sir; what horse?
There is no horse, sir!" "No horse
God bless me-" said he, suddenly
looking down between his legs, II
thought / was on horseback"

REASONABLE DILIGENCE.

A very recent decision of the Su-
preme Court, at washington, strikingly
illustrates the Importance of an inven-
tors using reasonable diligence and
promptncss in prosecuting his applica-
ton. 1t is we'll understood that de-
lay in this respect does necessarily not
forfeit ones rights. Inventors may,
if they can, keep their inventions Sc
cret, and if they succeed in doing so,
no postponement of the application for
patent will deprive them of their
right to one. The delay may be sat
isfactorialy explained or excused; as
where poverty, sickness, absence from
the country, or the like, hinders early
action But, generally speaking, who
ever has sufficiently matured valua-
BILE invent, will do well to seek a
patent without dallying, as Mr.. Wood
bury in the case now to be narrated,
has learned.
In the fall of 1916 Woodbury. conf
pleted an improvement in planning ma
chimes. The nature of it is not i'm
portant to the story it involved the
introduction of yielding pressure
bar" to keep the wood to be planed
firmly in position, instead of the rollers
employed in previous machines con-
structed on the ''Woodworth" general
plan. 1t was a real Improvement !;
and, as developed in other hands, has
now acquired value.
But in 1913, when Woodbury. filed
application for a patent, his invention
seems not to have been appreciated.
1t was rejected Tin 1949) and he was
notified he might withdraw or APP
peal" He did not appeal In 1852
the attorney through whom the appli-
cation was made withdrew it. This
was done without authority, to be sure
but Woodbury. made no attempt, when
informed, to have the case reinstatcd.
Meantime he took out other patents,
showing that he was not prevented
from acting in the matter by ill-hcalth
or want of money. AT last, in 1870,
he renewed the application, and pat
ent was Gn 1879 granted. lie organ
lied a company, which commenced in
PRODUCING the machine to profitable use.
But meantime .he principle of the i'll
vention had been adopted by other
persons. The planning machine COM
pany sued these for infringement; and
one of them resisted the suit on the
ground that Woodbury's delay was an
abandonment of his invention to the
public.
The Supreme Court has sustained
the defense. They say that there is
no rule requiring intention to abandon
to be declared in words 1t is the un-
questionable right of an inventor to
confer his invention upon the public,
and this he may do by his conduct,
and may do it after applying for pat
ent as well as before. The patent law
requires him to be vig.lant and active
in taking steps to procure patent if
he desires one. He cannot, without
cause, hold his application pending
during several years, leaving the pub
lie uncertain whether he intends to
prosecute it, and yet keeping the field
closed against other inventors. 1t is
not unfair to one who has for many
years neglected claim, that the pub
lie and the courts should treat it is
abandoned.

The real wealth of man is the
number of things which he loves and
besses, and by which he is loved and
blessed.-Carlyle.
If we praatice goodness not for the
sake of It's own intrinsicexcellence, but
for the sake of gaining some advantage
by it, we are cunning, but we are not
good.
Jamrach, the wild animal dealer of
London, has imported the biggest
ourang- -outang ever seen in Europe.
These creatures when imported almost
invariably die Of lung disease.
1t is a desolate thing, indeed, to for
bid the love of earth, if there were moth
ing to fill the vacent space in the heart.
But it is just for this purpose, that
sublimer affection may find room, that
the lower is to be expelled.-F w.
Robertson.
A lawyer and preacher were dis
cussing the direction of the wind The
former said, eve go by the court
house vane." "And we go by the
church vane," replied the parson. "In
the matter of wind that is the best au-
thority," said the lawyer. And the
preacher went home to cogitate.
The wealth of heaven never per-
ishes, never departs, never ceases,
never brings with it care or envy or
blame, destroys not the body, corrupts
not the soul, is without ill-will, heaps
not up malice; all which things attend
on earthly wealth. That honor lifts
not men into folly, doth not make
them pulled up, never ceases nor is
dimmed Again, the rest and delight
of heaven endureth continually; ever
being immovable and immortal, one
connot find its end or limit. Nothing
which comes to an end is much to be
desired whatever ceases, and to-day
is and tomorrow is not, though it be
very great, yet it seems little and con-
temptible Then let us not cling to
feetng things which slip away and
depart, but to those which are endur-
ing and immovable.-C Chrysostom.

the rings on their horns till their tenth
year; but after that time they give no
indication of age further than the ami
NAL has passed its tenth year The
first ring appears on the horn after the
animal is two years old-soon after, as
a general rule, though sometimes be-
fore that age. During the third year
the ring gradually increases, and at
three years of age it is completely
formed The second ring appears dur
ing the fourth year, and at the end of
the fifth year is complete. After that
period an additional ring is formed
each year. This rule is sufficiently
plain, and even young farmer needs
but little practice to enable him to
read cows age on her horns. A
cow with three rings is six years old;
with four, seven years old No new
rings are formed after the tenth year.
The deeper rings, however, and the
worn appearance of the horns, are
pretty sure indications of old age

THE ONE SAFE WAY.

The pilot of United States revenue
cutter was asked if he knew all the
rocks along the coast where he sailed.
He replied: "No; it is only neces-
sary to know where there are no
rocks" These words suggest deep
moral and spiritual truth. Sermons,
lectures, and books abound on the
temptations which lie along the life
course of the young to eternity. Over
the most dangerous stones are lifted
the solemn notes of repeated warning.
This is well. And yet how much
more frequently does the Word of God
present and enforce, with all the ur-
gency of motive love can suggest, the
very truth contained in the pilots
answer-the Kings highway of holi-
ness" Looking unto jesus with SIM
pie faith, the soul is secure whatever
the perils that lurk on every hand,
there are no rocks ahead.

will transmit 125 barrels an hour.
There are pumping stations at Cattar-

tank cars and capacious tanks have
been erected in East Buffalo. The
racks are built along the railroad tracks
at a distance of about 500 feet, and
there are "a spill pipes for discharging
oil into the cars
