The reports from Washington in

The reports from Washington in
dictate that the new administration
is to be woefully lacking in sense of
proportion. Mr.. W. w. Dudley is
now said to be an applicant for the
post Of Commissioner Of Patents I'M
der General Harrison. He ought
to be made at least-we believe he
is a lawycr-tlle head of the De-
partment of Justice. Ii Mr.. Wau>
amaker's contribution to the funds
Of Mr. Dudley is to be rewarded by
a Cabinet position, equal "hon-
orarium" should be accorded to the
man who spent the money so skill
fully. 1t may be, however, that
Dudley really wantsthe commission
ership to secure & legal monopoly
for ii limited time for certain of his
own inventions. He may claim
originality and utility for his de
vice for the manipulation of "hoat-
ers in blocks Of FIVE" and also for
the contrivanoe to prevent them
from getting away"

the publication is to supply 10 builders,
architects and the general public some exac,
information az TO tho best methods oil con.
structing tin roof and as to the right ma
terisls to be used to secure satisfactory sod
permanent reeults We especially recon.
mend the book, which is intended for grau-
itous distribution, to mill owners They
are very apt to trust the matter of roofing
wholly to builders and they usually know
really very little about the character Of The
tin used or the excellence or the defective

them to protect their Interests. II is very
explicit, perfectly comprehensive. and We
think wholly trustworthy. II is quite pre-
