There is prominent feature of the
Langshans not possessed by the Black
COchins, which is activity. They come
in as an extra desirable breed, between
the Leghorus and the sitters, for they
commence to lay early, and when about
to commence incubation are easily
broken. They are large in size, fine
boned, hardy and grow rapidly. They
are the strongest rivals for public favor
that the Plymouth Rocks have. and
are just as certain to go to the front as
if they had been known for centuries.
Their qualities as farmer'a fowl are
good, and they will entirely supercede
many other breeds.

CHANGING THE PATENT IA Ws,
Tha raecnla of Connaetient haua q sr,acia

CHANGING THE PATENT la WS.
The people of Connecticut have special
interest in the patent laws, for there have
been and are many inventors here. The
house committee on patents Is at work modi-
flying these laws. and its plans are interest
ing.
One Of the provisions Of the bill is designed
to prevent the extension of the life of pat
emit by changing 1t up" in the patent Office.
This is often done by collusion and fictitious
contests, so that ten years sometimes elapse
between the date of the application and the
final granting Of the patent. The inventor
enjoys the benefit of the patent for all this
time before the seventeen-year period begins
to run. The pending bill proposes to put a
stop to this by providing that where the iti-
CATION continues for more than two years the
extra time shall be deducted from the life of
the patent.
Another evil that the committee on patents
is trying to correct is the purchase of valu-
able patents by persons whose interest it is
to suppress them. This is done to consid-
eratAe extent by some of the large corpora
tions and manufacturers by patented pro-
cesses. They believe that it is less expensive
for them and will head off ruinous cempeti-
ton to buy up new process better than
theirs and suppress it. Their methods are
like those of the "trust," and they make the
government under the existing law an ac-
complice in defrauding the people. The
patent committee believes that this is con-
trary to the real purpose of the patent laws,
and it is trying to frame bill that will pre-
vent it..
Another provision of the bill does away
with the injustice sometimes wrought upon
inventors who have patents in foreign coun.
tries by the existing law that the life of the
patent here shall expire with its expiration
in the foreign country where first patented
The bill makes the life of the patent in thil
country Independent of foreign privileg
es.
These proposed changes appear to be wis
ones. The patent laws have long needed
some attention.

RARE AMERICAN COINS.

A statement Is going the rounds of the
press that American quarter dollars of
issue 1853 with rays, are worth 81 80 to
Sl.50. This is a mistake as such coins
are thick as black berries in summer !;
probably it should have read without
rays. The issue OF 1858, without arrows
on either side Of the date, are very rare
ly met with, and are worth $3.50 to SO.
Even the despised 20-cent pieces. 1877
1878, are rated at So to So. The cent of
1893 Is the most rare Of ALL and a choice
specimen will command $40. The writer
sold poor one for S. more than thirty
years ago; so poor in fact, that he was
willing to break his set at that figure
The 1904 cent is scarce at SO to 81 There
is'nO copper cent of 1915, though manu-
featured specimens are sometimes met
with. The old copper cent of 1857 (the
last one coIned) ia worth a small pre-.
MUM, while the nickle cent of 1856, the
first one coined, is very scarce and has
sold as high as SO co. which is an ex.
treme figure; dealers offer about $1.60
for it. The two cent pieces of 1865, SO.
'67, II are worth 10 to % cents each and
1873, IS cents or more The silver three
cent pieces of ls71,73 would bring about
80 cents. The highest priced American
coin lie the dollar of 1904, valued from
$500 to 81 200, but very few of them
were ever coined and a search is almost
useless. The value of coins depends
very much upon their condition, and the
buying and selling rates vary largely, but
The figures here gwen are intended to
