The last six months experience with air
brakes on freight trains has shown conclu-
sively that we must have less slack between
tho cars, and that the master car builders'
coupler viii soon have an opportunity Of
showing what IL Is worth. This opportunity
will arise from the fact that railway compa-
nies who have had experience with air brakes
on their freight trains In connection with a
link and pin coupler feel compelled, by reason
Of the serious brealAges, to use some sort Of a
close connected coupler. Something must bo
done to reduce the slack between cars or fast

Primitive Road Making.

It is well enough known that cat
tie, sheep and buffaloes form paths,
while horses do not. This results not
from difference in the habits of tray
cling, but from the form of the hoof.
The spreading foot of animals with a
cloven hoof congresses the soil upon
which they trample, but the tendency
of the solid hoof of the horse is to
break UP the soil.
This is seen most plainly in the &C
ton of the different hoofs upon our
snow roads in winter. The author of
"The Cruise of the Falcon" says:
when we reached the bank of the
stream, we were landed on quick
sand. Several Indians now com
menced to run rapidly backward and
forward over this, and in this way soon
formed a fairly hard road for ourselves
and horses.
"This method of making tempo
rary solid path across q quicksand is
very effectual. In Africa they first
drive the oxen across a river that the
sands may thus become sufficiently
hard to allow the heavy wagons to
cross without danger of their sinking
permanently into the treacherous bot
tom. youths Companion.

When Cinnamon desires visitor
to dine with him he does not ask him
to do so, but when he does not wish
him to stay he puts the question: "Oh,
won't you stay and dine with me,
pleasei' The visitor will then know
heis not wanted.
When Chinaman expects present
and it does not come he sends one Of
lesser value. A rich mans servant
gets no salary, yet many are the APP
plicants; while big salaries are paid to
the servants of the common people,
but few make applications. heper-
quisites of the former often more than
triple the salaries of the latter, which
is the sole reason of these differences.
To encourage honesty and sincerity,
confidential clerks and statesmen In all
branches of industry receive an annual
net percentage of the firms business,
besides their regular salary.
The highest ambition Of China
man is to have nice collin and fine
funeral. In China one can always
borrow money on the strength of hav-
ing a son, but nobody would advance
him a cent if he had dozen daugh-
tiers. The former is responsible for
the debt of his father for three genera
tons. The latter is only responsible
for the debts of her own husband.
When a Chinaman meets another
he shakes and squeezes his own hands
and covers his head. If great friends
have not seen each other for a long
time they would rub their shout
ders until they got tired. Instead of
asking each others health they would
say: ''How is your stomach9" or
''Have you eaten your rice9" How
much did you pay ftr your sandalsF

Men wear long petticoats and carry
fans, while the women wear short
jackets and carry canes. Boats are
drawn by horses; carriages move by
sails. Old men play ball and fly
kites. while children fold their arms
and look on. Old women, instead OF
young, are the idols of society.
Love making is only done three
days before marriage. 1t is not only

marriage. For this reason a man sell
dom weds girl of his town.
If a Chinaman desires the death OF

upon that enemy's door. 1t is consider

Roping with the Lariat.

In the matter of authentic records
for roping with the lariat none prob
ably exist. One hundred and sixteen
feet has been claimed for a California
man now travelling with Buffalo Bills
show, while ninety-four feet has been
published for Billings (Mon.) man,
but both of those records are prepos-
ferrous. The average cow puncher
from Texas to Montana uses rope
which barely reaches fifty feet, and
from twelve to fifteen feet must be de-
Quoted from this measure for circum-
ference of moose. Sometimes so called
California loop" exceeds this by
nearly five feet. In catching a wild
horse or steer, after the moose is over
the animals neck or legs, the end of
the rope is swiftly tied around the
horn of the saddle, the horse being
braced back to resist the shock, which
in most cases either snaps the rope or
sends the captured animal all in a
heap.
What the possibilities of roping to
catch are is hard to say. No doubt
with a horse at full galop down hill,
the wind favorable and a good long
rope, an expert may reach 100 feet,
but such cases are few and far be-
tween, and most good ropers feel ex-
tremely pleased when they can reach
out the full length of their forty-five
foot rope and catch.
If roping was conducted under the
conditions to which most athletic COM
petitions are subjected, as regards
level ground and standing at a scratch,
a fifty foot throw would be q good
record, while seventy-five foot one
would be an extraordinary one and, in
fact, considered by many to be we'll nigh
impossible. OF course, in throwing a
rope, accuracy must be essential. The
accomplishment would be a most use
full one to the mounted police of the
large cities, though the full benefit of
roping can only be had with the use of
the cow saddle.-Spirit of the Times.

A Narrow Escape.

There is one Lansing young man
who wishes that death would come to
his relief" says Lansing (Mich.) pa
per. "a week ago he loaned a gold
ring to a young lady friend. Two or
three days later the absent minded
young man noticed that the ring was
missing from his finger. and he walked
straight down to police headquarters
and notified Marshal Bates that it had
been stolen, carefully describing the
property. When the young lady re-
turned the ring to its owner yesterday
you could have knocked him down
with a feather duster. The innocent
young woman had been liable to ar
rest every moment of the week while
wearing the borrowed ring, owing to
his careful description"

Progress Of Inventions Since 1916

In the year 1S45 the present owners of the
Scientific American newspaper commenced
its publication, and soon after established a
bureau for the procuring of patents of in
ventions at home and foreign countries.
During the year 1S45 there were only 500
patents issued from the u. S. Patent Office,
and the total issue from the establishment
of the Patent Office, up to the end of that
year, numbered only 4,347.
Up to the first of July this year there
have been granted 306,413. Showing that
since the commencement of the publication
of the Scientific American there have been
issued from the u. S. Patent Office 402. 1876

tions have been made than have been grant
ed, showing the ingenuity of our people to
be phenomenal, and much greater than

business, but those who have not will be in

the oldest patent soliciting firm in this coun-
try, probably in the world.
Persons visiting the offices of the Scien-
tifc American, 361 Broadway, N. Y, for
the first time, will be surprised, on entering
the main office, to find such an extensive
and elegantly equipped establishment, with
its walnut counters, desks, and chairs to
correspond, and its enormous safes, and
such large number of draughtsmen, speci-
fcation writers, and clerks, all busy as bees,
reminding one of large banking or insur-
ance Office, with its hundred employees.
In conversation with one of the firm, who
had commenced the business of soliciting
patents i'm connection with the publication
| of the Scientific American, more than forty
| years ago, learned that his firm had made
| application for patents for upward of one
! hundred thousand inventors in the United
| States, and several thousands I'm different
| foreign countries, and had filed as many
| cases i'm the Patent Office in single month
as there were patents issued during the
entire first year of their business career.
| This gentleman had seen the Patent Office
grow from sapling to a sturdy oak, and he
modestly limited that many thought the
Scientific American, with its large circula-
ton, had performed no mean share in slim
ulating inventions and advancing the inter-
ests of the Patent Office. But it is not alone
the patent soliciting that occupies the atten-
ton of the one hundred persons employed
by Mum q Co., but large number are en-
gagged on the four publications issued week.
ly and monthly from their Office, 391 Broad
way, N. Y, viz: The Scientific American
the Scientific American Supplement, the
Export Edition of the Scientific American,
and the Architects and Builders Edition of
the Scientific American. The first two pub
lications are issued every week, and the
latter two, the first of every month.
