How Uncle Sam Protects the Interests of
His Inventors.
Next April the Patent Office will be
one hundred years old. 1t was the work
of Thomas jefferson, who was an in
ventor himself. The English, to their
credit, did not destroy the Patent Office
when they captured Washington during
the war of 1872 Before 1886 it was in
embroyo, and there was but little sys-
tenn, but in that year the first commits
sioner was appointed, but fire unfortu-
nately destroyed over 1000 models and
many valuable papers. Many of the
models were replaced in after years.
There was another fire in 1877, which
made sad havoc in the model-room,
where there was an accumulation of
over 100000, made of wood as dry as
finder, and only needing spark. This
los' awakened the authorities to the
benefit to be derived from photolitho-
graph, which has grown to be an i'm
mense business, as nearly 25, ZOO patents
are granted every year. The applica-
tions come in to the commits

animation, if the device is found patent
able, the examiner forwards the papers
to the issue division, where they are ar
ranged and sent to their respective di-
visions. There are thirty subjects of in
vention, divided into lightweight
classes, and assigned for examination to
the thirty examining divisions of the Of
fee. The patent is then allowed. and
the inventor notified of it's allowance
upon receipt of $40, the final fee. The
drawings are then autographed, and the
specifications printed. The voyage is
long and tedious one, sometimes requir-
ing years. Over $500 patents have been
granted to ladies. Of these the novelist,
Blanche Willis Howard, has patented

INGENIOUS CRIMINALS.
Masters of the Art of Escaping from Of
fetal CUSTODY.

Masters of the Art of Escaping from Of
fetal Custody.
A Frenchman named Delattre is a
professional burglar of great experience
and exceptional talents, and an all
round criminal. He first gained public
notoriety by scaping from the panier
salade, or Black Maria, as it is called
here, on the way from Mazas to the
palais de justice. He simply cut trap
door in the Lotion of the vehicle and let
himself drop into the street. Some time
afterward he was captured again, tried
and sentenced to death. A commuta-
ton followed, and he was condemned to
penal servitude for life. In 1880 he was
sent to New Caledonia, but he went
back to France again in the same
vessel that took him to the penal
colony. This vessel was the trans
port Loire. The very day before she
weighed anchor to return to France De-
lattre escaped from the penitentiary,
and in the night he reached lne waters
edge, threw off his clothes, and struck
off for the Loire, that was still at anchor
at considerable distance from the
shore. Unseen by any body, he climbed
into the chains, got on board, and hid
himself in the store-roOm. There he
had plenty of biscuits and water, but he
was not satisfied; he needed a suit of
clothes. When the vessel was three
days out at sea he was captured in the
act of stealing a sailors trousers. He
was Immediately recognized0a put in
irons. When the ship arrived at Brest
he managed to get the better of the Wig
ilance of the guard of honor that the
captain had appointed for him and dis
appeared again. Then there was gen.
eral hubbub on board. The YES
sci was searched from stem
to stern, but no trace of
him could be found Fate was against
him, however, for one of the sailors
happened to look into an empty wine
cask in the store-room. There was De-
lattre crouched in the bottom of the
cask, naked as a worm, and ready for
another swim when darkness came on.
He had succeeded in getting rid of his
irons, and his travelling kit consisted of
little box of biscuits and bottle of
brandy. He was sent back to New Cal
edonia, and it is now said that he has
escaped again.
Delattre has rival in the person of
another burglar, one Menegaud, fell
low who the other day in Paris smashed
open the door of his apartment in the
Black Maria, threw snuff in the eyes of
the guard, grabbed the key to the door
in the rear of the vehicle, opened it,
and escaped. He has not yet been re-
captured.-Paris Letter

THE BALLHATCHETS.
Survivors of the Ph9nician COlOnsts


Survivors of the Phenician Colonists in
England.
An interesting discovery regarding the
presence of the Ph9nicians in the south
west counties has just been made by Mr..
w. G. Thorpe, f. S. A. In the village of
Ipplepen, three miles from Newton
Abbot, Devon, there has for many CEN
turtles resided family named Ball
Ratchet, the surviving male representa-
tive of which is Mr.. Thomas Ballhatchet.
This man is now seventy-four years of
age, and the facial type is quite distinct
from that of the natives of Cornwall and
Devon, and distinctly of Levantine
character. The farm, which has been
from time immemOrial in the possession
of the family, is called Ballford, or Balls
Ford, and behind the group of buildings
is large square tank of ancient artificial
construction. The farm evidently stands
upon the site of an old Baal temple, of
which the allhatchets-whosea ancient
name was evidently Baa-Akhed, COR
rupted into Baal-Achet, etc.-held the
Office of Baal-Kamar, or Baal's priest.
Immediately above the farm rises hill,
which is known as Baal-Tor, the rock or
hill of Baal. The discovery of this
curious survival is very interesting, as it
is in harmony with the survival of those
ancient names in the yeoman classes of
the southwestern counties. One of these
families was the Purkisses the charcoal
burners who carried the Red Kings
body in their cart from the Rufus Stone
to Winton Cathedral, the last of whom
died only thirty years ago, and who had
held their land from father 20 son from
the days of King Alfred. Many other
traces of these Phnnician colonists may,
no doubt, be found if searched for in
Cornwall and Devon. Her Majesty the
Queen has been pleased to accept copy
of Mr.. Thorpe's history of this Devon
village and it's ancient family.-Man-
chester Guardian.

In that instant Amy turned toward him

In that instant Amy turned toward him
and put her hand in his.
''My love is not worth SO much" she
said, tearfully, but, since you value it
so highly, it is yours. It always has
been since l first knew YOU"
And tears came faster and woman's
hysterical Subs. And what could he do
but take in his arms the woman he
adored, and who had just admitted her
love for him under the impression that
he had proposed to her, and hold her
with a lovers tenderness against his
breast.
He was almost mad; he was quite dis
traught, indeed. The suddenness of his
happiness was in itself enough. And
then there was the awful remorse. the
consciousness of terrible breach of
trust, when he thought of Aaron Pen
mel. His utter joy and his woeful shame
mingled themselves in mis- soul, as, hav-
ing bid Amy adieu, he found Aaron Pen
mel waiting for him not far from her
house.
Aaron locked at him. Julian turned
away his head, for he could not return
the gaze of the man whom he had so
wronged.
"What have you been doing?' asked
Aaron. ''Why do you look SOP"
"How can l ever make you believe
that l have not played you false?" fall
tered Julian; and then Aaron burst into
laugh.
''You have proposed to her." he said,
''and she has accepted you?"
Julian could not answer
''You have the right to take my life, -
he said, ''but /"
''Do you tnink wanted to marry Amy
Atkins?" said Aaron, "or that 1 dreamed
she would accept me? read your hearts
too well. / know your love and your
pride. | saw two who were made for
each other tearing themselves asunder;
and l took advantage of your foolish
promise to place you : position in
which it was impossible for you to con-
ceal your true feelings. Somehow,
felt sure you would understand each
other; and at the worst, / should only
have refusal, and the reputation of
being a rejected lover. My happiness,
as [ think you must guess, is only de-
pendent on what Ada will answer me
some day; and l think I shall have
courage to do without your aid in this
CASE
Can it be possible?" exclaimed Ju.
liam.
"Undoubtedly."
''And | am not dreaming?"
'NO, perfectly wide-awake.'
And so the end of the story is, that
there was soon double wedding; and
since Amy and Ada were the names OF
the two brides, it is easy to guess who
were the bridegroOmS=N Y World.
