is taken as implying learning and re.

the world is asked TO obserye-is SO ex-

in the body of the work; it flows over
into the notes.
As If nine persons out of ten did not

oddities Of the Patent Once.

Of a boat for lifting vessels over shoals.

in 1S49, when the future president
thought 10 make a reputation as an in

coin is the only president who ever
secured a patent.
The first shoe was patented in 1871
by two Massachusetts, men. IL is II
undressed leather, and there is quite
q difference between the workmanship
Of that and the present machine
stitched shoe. So well was the work
done, however, that it was impossible
TO tell whetheri il was pegged or sewed
until some s~acrilegious clerk cut the
sole and ascertained il was pegged.
In the class Of perpetual motion ma
chimes the patent Office is deficient. II
has no working model, bu. an inven-
tor stepped in the other day TO say
that he had a completed and tested
model which lac would send shortly.
IL required some few alterations, lie
said, such as a governor 10 keep IL

mercantile business. Patapsco will then
have three stores. This looks like improv-
ment in business.
Whereas there has been considerable talk
about the answer of the question by Mr. j.
c. Rooms perhaps the best plan ls to give
his solution, AS there seems to be doubts on
the part Of some persons.

what century is 1889
SoLUTloN.-Sincc there is one hundred

be as many centuries as one hundred is con

years on the 10Th century.
Second Since there is 10 years in one de-
cadc, in SO years there are as many decades
as 10 years are cOntain in 80, or 8 who4e
decades aud remainder Of years which
must be 8 years on the 9th decade, hence we

We have every reason to believe that
