Chemistry has recently given to the

gffhe sugar cane Saccharine,' dis
covered by G. Fahlberg, is derived from
one Of the hydrocarbons Of coal tar. 1t
i. a white powder, dissolying very slowly
in cold water, but more readily in warm
and perfectly in alcohol, either, glucose,
clycerine, etc. In diluted solution it is
intensely sweet, one part in 1000 parts
of water giving very sweet taste, or

cane sugar 1t has no nutritive prop
critics but is eliminated from tue system
without undergoing change. Mixed
with ri .cosc or starch sugar, in the
proportion Of Que part to 1000 or 1000,
It forms a compound scarcely distinguish
able from the best sugar, and very CON

the cane ''SIccharine' has been care
fully investigated as to its physiological
properties, by Dr. Stuzer of Bonn, and
others, who claim that in the quantities
necessary to sweetcn food it has no in
furious effect on the system. Fed to
dogs in quantity equal to two and a
quarter pounds Of sugar day the
animals remained in health during the
entire course of the experiments.
Patients suffering from diabetes, in
which disease real sugar is interdicted,
have been treated with saccharine" at
discretion in one ofthe principal hospitals
Of Berlin for several months, without in
any wise aggravating their malady In
this respect, at least, the new discovery
is already Of value, and there seems
little room to doubt thai this product of
refuse is destined to become an i'm
portant rival to beet root and cane sugar.

4U 4bOHt Patents.

Among the many great things th t
make the United States superior to all
other nations, is the fact of its many
inventions, patents. la all its history
has issued 333, 49I patents In the
year 1885 the United States issued %,
33l patents; England, 16, 10l patents;
France, 1851 patents; Spain, about
800 patents; Germany, 4,0l8 patents.
Austria, 2,470 patents, Italy, in
1884, issued $50 patents Russia in
in 1893, issued Isl patents. From
these reliable figures it appears that the
United States issued in 1885 within six
thousand as many patents as the COM
binel nations of England, France; Spain,
Germany, Austria, Italy, and Russia
Agriculture has the largest number of
models of all other departments ofinven-
fion. The rolls of the Patent office
show that not much more than one per
cent of all the patents issued annually
in the United States are to women. =

particular importance OF the art eles
used by women, such as corsets, glove

ers, pianos and other musical instru-
ments, music holders. patterns and the
many, very many other articles made
for women almost exclusively, 80 per
cent are the inventions Of men.
Beginning with the next fiscal year it
is understood that Congress will make
provision for two additional principal
examiners and forty additional assistant
examiners for the Patent Office. This
addition is rendered necessary by the

OAK HILL, OHIO, June 20, 1886.
TO tie Editor of the Standard
The usual routine Of business was
pleasantly interrupted by the Commence
ment Exercises of the coax Hill Normal
School" which took place on the 18th inst.
The Normal has been conducted under
the very efficient management of Messrs.
Geo. E. Morgan, Morgan H. Jones and E.
o. Evans. These gentlemen should GER
tainIy feel proud of the well merited sue
cess they have had as instructors and the
great good they have done our village and
surrounding community
The Normal has been in session ten
weeks and had an attendance of 105. The
afternoon of Commencement day was
occupied by extemporaneous speaking by
different members of the school. Those
worthy Of special mention are that of
John E. Jones, son of Eben ). Jones. He
is about years of age, and stood before
the large audience for about minutes
explaining the advantages of persever-
ance. Willie Roberts, son of Rev. Thos.
Roberts, is about II years of age and gave
iis an excellent address from the subject
Patience" Edgar Morgan, son of Elias
Morgan, is s years of age and furnished
first class speech on the subject "Waters."
A number of the larger boys entertained
us with well rendered addresses, but space
forbids individual mention.
The evening session took place in grove
east of school house. The evening was
beautifully clear one, and the arrange
ments were complete in every respect.
The programme consisted of declamations
by Misses Evans and Smith; these young
ladies acquitted themselves very nobly,
indeed Grafton, W. J. 1saaes, subject,
"Our Country" This production showed
careful thought, thorough preparation,
and excellent delivery. r. V. Jones GRATED
on "The Duties Of American Citizens"
Young Robert verify surpassed the ex-
pectations of the most sanguine. This
production was full of original thought
and lofty utterances. D. W. Morgan held
the audience spell bound for the space of
half an hour on the subject, Action" S.
e. Miller treated us to an excellent ora
tion on the subject, "Invincible Resolu-
tion Conquers." This was q grand pro-
duction made up Of ideas applicable to
every day life, and was delivered with
that ease and earnestness which always
characterized the speaker. The drama,
zone Hundred Years Ago." was very ex-
cellently rendered. This alone occupied
an hour and fifteen minutes and was
very highly appreciated by every one
present. The exercises throughout were
iDtarcnarcp6 with baa11tif1l ro11cic bu tho
"Oak Hill String Band" Coax Hill Glee
Club" and the Jefferson Glee Party
and at intervals even the frogs in the
pond near by were heard to cry out. The
school throughout has been very salts
factory to all concerned, and we would
say to our worthy teachers, come again.

The case of The Village Of Jackson
VS.. Davis Mackley, on error, decided
by the Circuit Court on last Friday, is
Of interest to both publishers and ad-
vertisers. In the spring of 1885, the
Clerk Of the Village gave me the de-
tailed statement to publish. The
Statute fixed the price, and it came to
over S4700 The Council paid me
$1,000, and refused to pay any more
| brought suit for the balance, before
John T. Moore, J. P, and got iudg-
ment for all I claimed. The Council
appealed to the Court Of Common
Pleas, and Judge Trip gave me judg-
ment for all | claimed. Council took
the case to the Circuit Court, where
the judgment Of the Common Pleas
was affirmed, sustaining my claim for
full amount.
There was no unpleasant feeling
between me and the Council.
One thing may be learned from the
result Of this case: persons who get
legal advertising done in the Standard
must pay the amount fixed by Statute
no more, no less. DIN.
