THE New York World awarded prizes
the other day to correspondents in New
York State who sent in the most accu-
rate, thorough and concise returns at
the recent election. Two of these came
within two votes of naming the official
majority out Of II 400 cast in their
counties, one came within three out of
1882 and another within three of 1000.
These reports, too, were in type at
1870 o'clock election night. This is
bringing political reporting down to an
exact science.

THERE is decided movement in West
Virginia in favor of changing the name
of that Stlte. It's promoters say that
every State should have a distinct name
of its own, so far re roved from the name
of every other State that no confusion
of names can arise. West Virginia is so
near like Virginia that the people do
not enjoy it. Curiously enough they all
agree that Kanawha" is the name for
the State.

THERE are now in the United States,
existing more or less actively, seventy
eight societies whose aim is to protect
children and animals from cruelty; these
are usually called humane societies,
while under the title of societies to pre-
vent cruelty to children there are thir-
teen distinct organizations and thirty
six whose object is to protect dumb
beasts; these are known as societies to
prevent cruelty to animals. This does
not look as though the suffering, help
less children and animals were friend

PRoPRIEToRs of dime museums are a
pretty audacious lot everywhere; but
there is one of the tribe in Chicago who
is fairly entitled to the palm. In his
museum there is a snake skin pasted
upon q framed parchment, attached to
which are large red seals, accompanied
by hieroglyphics which only good schol-
ars are able to decipher, and above all
this startling inscriptions:
''Skin of the serpent that tempted Eve
in the garden of Paradise. 1t was killed
by Adam the following day of the
treason. Adam hit it with a club, of
which traces are still left. This skin
was part of the inheritance of Adam, and
was preserved in his family in Asia. The
genuipeness is attested by the doctors
of divinity, whose seals are attached"

IT is rumored that movement is on
foot to secure the construction of navy
yard in the vicinity of Chicago. Under
existing treaty stipulations neither
Canada nor the Unitel States can have
more than one gun boat on the great
lakes, but this circumstance is to be
evaded by putting the yard on Lake
Calumet, q small, shallow tributary to
Lake Michigan, just south of Chicago.
Under the treaty any boats built in
this pond would have to stay there.

THERE are interesting spots in Patent
Officers reports even. Oneis the recent
ly published information about women
to whcm patents have been issued.
During the first seventy years of the
Government but fifty five patents were
allowed to women; but in 1887 alone,
1873 were issued, and the total is over
1000. The first patent ever given to
a woman was in 1S00 when Mary Kies
took out one for straw weaving with
silk or thread. The second patent was
Issued to Mary Brush in 1915 for cor
set. Probably the oldest woman inven-
tor alive is Mrs. Nancy NJ. Johnson, who
in 1S43 patented an ice cream freezer
and made considerable money thereby.
Most of the patents issued to to women
have b en- in some way connecte with
their dress or hOuse hold labor saving
devices. Few of the women who have
invented were from New England
States, and the most of the few were
from Massachusetts,.

A NOVEL method of making a house
appear to be valuable, and thus securing
a sale at gool price, was exposed by
Architect Renwick the other day in his
testimony before the New York Elevated
Railway Damage Commission. He pro-
posed to bIy two tenement houses in
Third avenue. He was assured that
the property was paying a handsome
interest; that it was full of tenants, and
he could go and sec for himself. He
sent an agent who reported that the
buildings on the calculation that the rem
tails were ten per cent. of the value of
the property. AS soon as be got posses
sion he found that the tenants began to
move out. Then he learned that they
had occupied the place rent free. The
building had been salted with tenants in
much the same way that naughty men
have been known to salt mining proper
ty with rich specimens.
