AN IMPORTANT PATENT. 5Isj.g,g.
Patents were issued today for a new. sys-
tenn for the production of spherical and
conical projectiles. BY the new process the
old and tedious method of turning on a
lathe tor reduce to proper shape is avoided,
the product coming perfectly formed direct
from the bar. The secretaries Of the war
and navy thought so highly of its value that
they asked to have the patent put through
as quickly as possible. The inventor is G.
+. Simonds, OF Fitchburg, Mass. /.
AFTER THE RASCAL.
The authorities Of the postoffice depart
ment are exercising themselves to effect
the capture of Hibbs, the defauIting post
master Of Lewistown, Idaho, and it is be-
lieyed that he has remained in this country,
although he was reported to have fled into
British Columbia. 1t is not believed the
government will lose any thing, as many Of
country, and others will be returned from
Victoria, thus reducing the defalcation to
$1,000 OF 900. .s

states there has been a greater loss of area
