One Of the bustles made here Is formed of
pliable rubber tubes, with enough machinery
about it to work athreshing machine Other
bustles are made of wire, and the collection
of hats among these models is curious in the
extreme. There are patented hats of all
shapes and sizes, and the models here shown
run back to 1860 One of the Queerest Of
these has an umbrella fastened to the top,
and with a roll or curtain to button on the
umbrella like a veil. There areplug hats of
ali shapes and sizes, and the bonnets are Of all
kinds, from the picturesque article the size
of your hand to the old fashioned Shaker
bonnet which will hold as much as bushel
basket. A new rubber boot has lately been
invented, 1t has gossamer leg with a series
of buttons, straps and stay iaces, so that it
will fit the leg of any wearer, and there is
patent soap holder shown which prevents the
soap getting against the bath tub.

I am told at the patent office that the
women inventors are very few in comparison
with the men, and out of the 22,0Oo patents
given out during the year less than 100 are
granted to women The female brain of the
United States seems most active in the New
England, middle and western states Massa-
chusetts, Connecticut and New Hampshire
have produced quite a number OF women in
ventors, and their patents are of all kinds,
from dust pans to fire escapes. New York
ladies rank well as inventors, and Iowa and
Illinois have each their quota There are
number of Ohio patents Of this kind and
Missouri and California can make very
fair showing. 1t is a question in the minds
of many as TO whether the woman's mind
possesses the inventive qualities OF man.
The great inventions have been so far those
of men, but it may be that with the advance
movemant in the sphere Of woman we are Oh
the verge of a change.
Speaking Of inventions, tine WORK on per-
petual motion still goes on, and nearly every
day some new crank arrives at the Office
with a ps,.eat which be says will accomplish
this result No. long ago man and his son
walked from Illinois to Washington to show

he is steel engraver and at present one Of

occurred to him that such history might be
made picturesque, and he at once began to
give substance to the idea As he read, he
underscored every prominent name men,
toned, every phrase suggestive Of illustra-
ton, and every place for map where q map

The next day he began the nucleus OF his
vast undertaking. Second hand bookstores
were ransacked, old magazines and pictorial

sought out, and photographic galleries far
