The Ohio Democrat. (Logan, O. [Ohio]) 1886-1906, 1889-11-23


While through the orchard boughs see
The village lights reflected there;
Tomorrow will be festal time,
And city halls and hamlets low
Will echo to the merry chimes
And memories of long ago.
We oil are young who gather here
The sire OF three score years and ten
Trips lightly with his sweet grandchild,
The gnyest OF our youngest men;
For who cares aught for wrinkles nowf
Or signs because his locks are gray;
His heart beats light who halls with me
The feasts of our Thanks giving Day.
Now let me slumber once again
In that old chamber in the Ell,
And wake up from my dreams and hear
The night winds through the easement swell.
No monarch has grander couch
Or softer down on which to rest
Than mine will be, for oh, my friends,
I'm once more in my boyhoods nestl

MAPS BY TELEGRAPH.

Ono Can Now Send Manuscripts or Picture,
by Electricity.
The fac-simile telegraph, by which
manuscript, maps or pictures may be
transmitted, is a species of the auto
matte methods already described, il
which the receiver is actuated syn
enormously with it's transmitter. B,
Lenoir's method a picture or map is
outlined with insulating ink upon thu
cylindrical surface Of a rotating drum
which revolves undera point having !:
slow movement along the axis of thu
cylinder, and thus the conducting
point goes over the cylindrical sur.
face in a spiral path. The electric
circuit will be broken by every ink
mark on the cylinder which is in this
path and thereby corresponding marks
are made in a spiral line by an ink
marker upon drum at the receiving
end. To produce these outlines it is
only necessary that the two drums be
rotated in unison. This system is OF
little utility, there being no apparent
demand for fac-simile transmission.
particularly at so great an expense O:
speed, for it will be seen that instead
of making a character of the alphabe1
by few separate pulses, as is done by
Morse, the number must be greatly
increased. Many dots become neces.
sary to show the outlines of the more
complex characters. The pantele-
graph is an interesting type of the

Pullman,s Latest Triumph,

The Monon Route has arranged with the
Pullman Company to equip their Chicago
and Cincinnati line with new sleepers hav-
ing all the modern improvements, including
Pullman's Perfected Safety Vestibule.
These sleepers are the finest and most
luxurious in their appointments of any ever
presented for use Of the travelling public.
They are finished in mahogany and the up
holstering is of pale blue plush. They will
be known as the velvet vestibule train of
the Monon Route. The sleepers will be illu-
minated by electricity from storage bat
teries.
The Monon has also contracted with the
Pullman Company to build four solid trains
consisting of Baggage, Express, Mails,
Coaches, Dining Cars and Drawing Room
Sleepers-all to be of beautiful design and
finish. These trains will be run on their
Chicago & Cincinnati line commencing
October l. They will be equipped through
out with Pullman's Perfected Safety Vesti-
bule. Electricity and gas will be used for
lighting and steam for heating-therebv
obviating the possibility of conaagration.
Commencing September the Monon
Route gives the following low rates from
Chicago: To Louisville or New Albany,
single fare, $500; round trip, $500. Com
mencing September the rate to Cincinnati
will be $500; round trip, s7.OO. Get Tickets

PATENTS AND PROGRESS.
Marvellous Changes Wrought by Inven
ors in Half Century,

Marvellous Changes Wrought by Invent.
ors in Half Century.
One need not be very old to have
distinct recollection Of his daily life,
it's conditions and environments, fifty
years ago, when the patent system or
the United States was in its early in
fancy. Then the country was almost
entirely agricultural, for our grand
career in manufactures and the indus
tria! arts was just beginning. It Writ.
ually began with the patent system
the creation of the patent office--and
it has actually kept pace with the de-
velopment of the system. so that this
magnificent progress stands as the in.
disputable results of the system. II
other words. we owe our splendid
achievements in manufactures and the
arts to the stimulus that the patent
laws have given to invention.
Fifty years ago most of the people
of the United States were clothed from
the products of the domestic spinning
wheel and hand loom. The itineran,
shoemaker went from house to house
setting up his bench and plying hi
vocation in the farmers kitchens.
There were no planning mills; no shop.
for the manufacture Of doors, sashes
or blinds. All the work of the builder,
including carpenters and joiners
work, was done by hand. The car
penter, if good one, got one dollar {:
day. Coal was consumed but by few
families even in the large cities, anG
by nobody in the smaller towns. The
tailors, like the shoemakers, came te
the house and made into clothing the
cloth woven by the mother and daugh
ters. with a little help from the fulling
mill that was generally near the grist
mill of the neighborhood. The railroad
and telegraph had not yet added thei,
powers to the forces of civilization.
This year, 1889, is no more like 1885
than the hand-loom is like the cottor
factory. Better fifty years of Europe
than cycle OF Cathay." Better ont
year of the life that is lived under the
new conditions than any number O:
years of the hard existence that was
drudged out under the old conditions.
It is only the hopeless pessimisti,
soul, the constitutional and incurable
grumbler, that does not recognize the
blessings that have come with the
march of invention. For all those, le;
it be borne in mind, we are indebted te
the system that has fostered invention
and secured to inventors the right tt
enjoy the products of their own brain.

place without a hint being given him
and was refastened.
It was next morning before we
could examine our pits. and then we
found another captive. A big bull
elephant was lying on his side in one
OF them, while the other had been
avoided. We got him out of the pit
by digging around him. and then using
a block and tackle to lift him to his
feet. He had been three days without
food or drink when we got him out,
and his spirit was pretty well broken.
Our three captives we're got down to
the coast without the least trouble,
and our luck in making three such
captures in the short space of twenty
days has never been equaled by

WHEN in a grocer's store you stand
And cakes of Ivory SOAP demand,
Be careful not to be misled
And limitations take instead,
For dealers oft will praises sing
Of that which may more profit bring.

Because a snowy cake you see,
For villainy is not confined
To darkes: coiors, bear in mind,
