Some Reasons why It Alone l. Profitable
TO the Average Farmer.
There are many farmers who are
spectators In their business. They
put the larger part Of the farm into
one crop, hoping the yield may be
good and the price high. The next
year, perhaps, they take the chances
on another single crop. There we're
many instances Of this method dur
ing tho war, when grain brought
high prices. Some tried barley, and
those who had good crops made a
large sum. A heavy wheat crop made
a small fortune for some farmers.
When the particular crop chosen
proved a failure then came trouble.
Mixed farming is regarded much
safer. AT farmers meeting in Mary

subject as follows; 'In farming. as

NIGHT HAVE BEEN A MURDER,
Thomas jackson Shoots Henry Spencer
A Wound i'm the Cheek.

Thomas Jackson, young coIored man,
started out last night with the determination
of shooting somebody and a bullet wound in
Henry Spencer's check is conclusive evidence
that he succeeded. Had the bullet struck a
few inches higher another murder would have
been added to the record Of such crimes here
The shooting occurred just about dark, near
9th and Pomeroy streets, in the county near
the Freedman's hospital. This section Of the
county, known as the Camp" has been the
scene of many desperate fights in which more
than one man has lost his life.
"You --s-ofa now I'm got you" is
the language attributed to jackson when he
met Spencer. Bang" went the weapon and
then the bullet came near doing its deadly
work. AS it was it inflicted a flesh wound
merely. Spencer hurried to the eighth precinct
station and made complaint He lives near
10th and l. streets, but was out in the county
during the afternoon. He told the officers that
the shooting was done without provocation
and before a word had passed between them,
Spencer went to Freedman's hospital where
the wound was dressed by DR.. Shadd and he
then returned to his home. Jackson has not
vet been arrested

THE SCIENTIFIC LIBRARY.

Here they can sit from 9 until every day in
the big, comfortable easy chairs and read what
has been written of their hobby hatch new
plans and think out the problems that are buzz
ing in their brains The library is one of the
largest collections of books relating to applied
science in this country. 1t comprises nearly
$4,000 volumes, and besides all of the standard
works, includes many of the periodicals devoted
to the industries of the country. They are
bound regularly every year. But by far the
most valuable part of the collection consists of
the volumes of foreign patents that fill dozens
of shelves. Here are the publications of Eng
land, France, Germany, Italy. Sweden, Hol-
land, and a number of other countries. These
books are constantly consulted by inventors,
patent attorneys and students.
Mr.. Howard L. Prince, who was formerly
clerk of the Police Court, is the librarian and
he referred The STAR representative to his as
sistant, Mr.. Edward Farquhar who has been
connected with the office for years. He is the
.Spofford' of the patent Office library, and to
him il Is an ineXhaustible subject

Yes; they come up every day. We have among
our visitors the regulars and the transients.
The latter simply drop in few moments to
take glance at an authority. They are mostly
attorneys, but the former come to stay and if
they don't show up regularly every morning
we think something must have happened to
them. Our library is becoming more complete
every year, and in time We will have a most
valuable collection. There are many books
here that cannot be found at the congressional
library. Mr.. Spofford, in his purchases, does
not duplicate the works we have unless they
are standard authorities. Nearly all the vol
umes we have relate in some way to applied
science. They are practical and contain little
theory"

WOMEN AS INVENTORS.
The part played by woman as inventors is
not ineonsiderabie, and she is responsible for
many things that add much to the comfort Of
life. From the year the office was established
up TO the present time g. 500 patents have been
granted to females. The first woman patentee
was Mary kees. who obtained letters patent on
a machine for weaving a mixture of silk and
thread. She was followed in 1915 by Q Mary
brush with corset OF an improved kind. Miss
Montgomery owns the patent to a war ship and
q woman IN Iowa has made an improvement in
machinery for the manufacture Of cigars. The
novelist Blanche Willis Howard has patented a
bath shoe and a music rack, and Miss Helen
Blanchard gets good income from the royalty
she receives on a sewing machine attachment.
Miss Phelps, lady from England, is repre-
sented by a lunch box which has zinc lined
compartment for ice. Amustache cup is rather
peculiar invention for woman, but patent
for such has been taken out by a woman, and
there 1s also an apparatus for killing mosqui-
toes, patented by woman. Mrs. Maria Beas-
ley made small fortune out Of machine for
the manufacture of barrels, and DIR. Mary
Walker OF this city has several patents for edu-
cational furniture.
All over the building you can find patent
attorneys, for most of their work is done on the
premises. Having thorough knowledge Of
the workings OF the Office they know every
step toward getting patent.

the visitor will come upon busy scene. At q
long table stretching the entire length of the
room sit half hundred diligent attorneys
busily examining patents which have come
under the same head with those inventions
whose novelty they are endeavoring to estab-
lIsh. This Is what is called the preliminary
examination. and all careful attorneys make
this search before applying for a patent. In
this room may be obtained copies of every
patent that has been issued, and by comparing
the device sought to be patented with them its
patcntable novelty can be determined. Mes
sengers wait upon the attorneys, bringing them
the various classes and subclasses of inventions
from the long drawers along the wall and all
day the search goes on Captain Snyder has
charge Of this room.
CURIOUS CoNTRIvANcEs
Of curious inventions there il no end, and
an interesting volume. descriptive of them,
might be written after visit to the Office
One of the most curious to be found is a grave
escape" and CHASTITY but interesting. 1t seems
that the inventor was haunted with the idea
THAT every year many persons were buried
alive and that some method should be devised
to give them chance to escape. After much
anxious thought thu inventor evolved his ''es-
cape" OF course the entire grave as now
dug had to be reconstructed as well as the
style of coffin. Temporary stairs led
down into the grave from the surface
for one month. 1t was to be- kept
supplied with air by means of rubber tubes
and in the dress OF the corpse was to be a key
If it happened that the supposed dead man
was only in trance, when he came to he
would push open the lid of the coffin, climb
the steps leading to the surface and escape
On the outside, placed in a convenient position
near the grave, was q chest, and taking the key
from his pocket and opening it he would take
out suit of clothes. exchange his shroud for
them, take drink of brandy from bottle and
then go home to surprise his friends. If on
the other hand he remained in the grave for
month. showing no signs of returning life, the
passage way was filled with earth, the trunk
taken away and his friends satisfied that he
was properly buried. A patent was granted
upon this peculiar continuance, but 80 far as is
known no grave escapes have ever been man
ufactured and the patentee has not realized
anything in royalties

A NewspaDcr Man Lost.

An Atlanta dispatch says there is grave fear
that E. W. Barrett, well known in Washington
as the correspondent of the Constitution, has
been waylaid by Rubo Burrows gang. Two
weeks ago he went into Alabama to get, if pos
sible, an interview with RUDE Burrows and was
in the posse which pursued him. Barrett went
to the house of Rube's father and had an an
pointment to return this week. He went to
Sulligent Monday night and getting horse and
buggy drove out to the ueighborhood of Bur-
rows house. He has not been heard from
since, He was to have kept up communication
with the main office, but no word has been
heard from him there. The Consolation has
telegraphed to the marshal Of Sulligent to in
vestigate Barrett's whereabouts. Barrett ia a
gritty young fellow with a keen scent for news
He will probably turn up all right
