on the part of the office on July 1 was 1869,
an increase of ~thirty-nine per cent. over 1882.
The commissioner says the business of the
Office is steadily and rapidly increasing in
each of the divisions of the Office. The sue
cess of the patent system, the commissioner
says, is due largely to its liberality to invent
ors, and the security and protection it
affords them. 1t was not intended that
revenue to the government should be obtained
by charges made for vesting in the inventor
the right and title for a limited time to the
exclusive use of his invention. But not only
have the fees received on applications filed
been sufficient to pay all The expenses of the
office, but a large surplus-nearly So 800, 600
now stands to the credit of the Office in the
treasury. Greater liberality might, perhaps,
be extended to the inventor by reducing the
fee to be paid before a patent can issue, and
with beneficial results.

Catching the Eye of the Speaker.

The order of morning business (says
Ben Perley Poore, in writing in the
century of Congress and the Capitol
at Washington is unintelligible to
strangers, and is merely the successive
recognition by the speaker of those
members who have obt aimed from him
promise that they can have the
floor. In keeping these promises
the speaker often pays no heed to
members in the front seats who are
endeavoring to attract his attention
by cries of Mister Speaker !" in every
note in the gamut, accompanied by
frantic gesticulations, and "recog-
nizes" some quiet person beyond them.

Pacific Coast Salmon.

Mr.. LeRsy J. Gates, of Eureka,
Humboldt bay, on the Pacific coast,
states in communication to the San
Francisco EDdminsr that the valuable
salmon will virtually become extinct
if the causes OF the diminutloG are
not remedied. The reason OF rne great
falling off in the stock of salmon in
the rivers Mr.. Gates states as follows:
BY a resort to relays of help the seines
are kept running night and day, and
the streams are swept from bank to
bank as rapidly as possible when the
fish are sufficiently plentiful to make
it pay even the expense OF running.
This is continued without rest except
for limited period on Sunday. Such
fish as escape the first sein are apt to
get picked up at fishing grounds
above, or are followed up the stream
to their spawning grounds and cap
tured there. The fishermen generally
provide themselves with fine ineshed
net for the young salmon and a large
meshed one for the grown fish. The
average catch of young salmon on Eel
river, at the best period Of the running
season, has been known to reach the
enormous number of 10000 a day.
Sturgeon are fed to hogs, given away
and even thrown away. The Usher
men do not want them in the river to
bother the seining, and are clean
ing the river of them as fast
as possible. Besides this, it is known
that large number of Cinnamon are
engaged along the coast south of the
Columbia river in netting and can
ming the small fishes, upon which the
salmon are dependent for their subsist-
ence. These young and small fish,
including young salmon, move along
the shores in schools, and by means of
fine-meshed seines and nets are caught
by the millions and canned and mar
keted. This system of robbing the
salmon of its food threat rs to de-
prive the people of the Pacific coast of
a most valuable and favorite fish.
The salmon were so abundant in the
streams of New Brunswick and Maine
at one time that the fish d not bring
dime apiece. The reckless practices
were permitted to go on there till the
fish became so scarce as to bring the
enormous price of dollar pound.
Finally law was put in force in New
Brunswick which prohibited the sein-
ing Of salmon, with severe penalties,
and the result is that the supply of
salmon in the river is again large.

The Great Storm.

There is no storm on record that
equaled in violence and destructive
power the one of October 10, 1880,
known as the Great Storm" 1t was
generated in mid-Atlantic, not far
from the Equator, and was first felt in
the Barbados. There the bark of
trees was removed, either through the
effects of the electric action or the
fury of the wind; cannon were driven
along the batteries and flung over into
the fosse. A French transport fleet
of forty vessels, carrying 1000
soldiers, was overtaken by the storm
and completely destroyed at Martin
ique. And the governor at Martinique,
reported the loss to the French gov

A FrOntiersman in a Hotel.

Captain jim Peake considered n.
J.. jenkins one of his best scouts and
speaks of him in terms of the warmest
praise. When Jenkins joined Peake's
command he had been away from civ
ilization for years, and the captain on
one occasion having to pay visit to
the capital city of the Lone Star State
took jenkins along with him. When
they reached Austin Jenkins, who was
in the dress of a frontiersman and
armed to the teeth, attracted great
deal of attention, and the boys fol
lowed him about in crowds. He
thought this ovation complimentary
to himself and invited the curious
juveniles to the nearest confectionery,
where he spent all his money treating
them to candy, soda water and ice
cream. When night came the captain
took Jenkins to the Raymond house
for supper. The dining-room was
crowded and the table was resplendent
in its setting of glass and silver.
jenkins advanced to the table, drew
his bowie-knife, speared biscuit and
a piece of steak, and stepping back
began to eat as he had been accustomed
TO eat in camp, standing up. with his
bowie-knife and fingers answering all
purposes. A grinning servant invited
him to be seated.

"Pm doing tolerable well here"
He was assigned room at the hotel
furnished in the most luXuriant man
ner, with soft carpets, rich furniture
and downy bed. When the captain
went in to arouse him next morning,
Jenkins was stretched out on the floor
wrapped in his blanket.
"Why didn't you sleep in the bed p
asked the captain.
