fortunes in Small Inventions.


Every little while the newspapers take
up the subject of inventions and tell
their readers how many have made for
tunes out of small inventions. The Pitts
burgh Dispatch gave the other day list
of small things that have made their in
ventors wealthy. 1t commences with the
pen for shading different colors, which
Yields an income Of 100000 per annum.
The rubber tip at the end of lead pencils
has already made 100000. A large for
tune has been reaped by a miner who IN
vented metal rivet or eyelet at the end
of the mouth of coat or trousers pockets
to resist the strain caused by the carriage
of pieces of ore or heavy tools. In re-
cent legal action it transpired in evidence
that the inventor of the metal plates
used to protect the soles and heels OF
shoes from wear sold upwards Of l2,OO0,-
plates in 1879, and in 1857 the number0O0
reached 143 100000, producing realized
profits of 81 10000.
A still more useful invention is the
darning weaver" device for repairing
stockings, undergarments, etc, the sale
OF which is very large, and increasing.
As large sum as was ever obtained for
any invention was enjoyed by the inven-
tor of the glass bell to hang over gas to
protect the ceilings from being blackened
and scarcely less lucrative patent was
that for simply putting emery powder on
cloth. Frequently time and eireumstan-
ces are wanted before an invention is
appreciated, but it will be seen that pa
tience at times is well rewarded, for the
/ inventor Of the once celebrated roller
skate made over 100000, notwithstan-
ding the fact that his patent had nearly
expired before its value was fully ascer-
tanned.
The gimlet pointed screw has produced
more wealth than most silver mines, and
the American who first thought of putting
copper tips to children's shoes has realiz-
ed large fortune. Upwards Of $4,000 a
year realized by the inventor Of the COM
mon needle threader To the foregoing
might be added thousands of trihing but
useful articles from which handsome in
comes are derived, or for which large
sums have been paid. Few inventions
pay better than the patented toys. That
favorite toy, the return ball. wooden
ball, with a very unique elastic at.
tachment, yielded the patentee an in.
come equal to $4,000 year, and an in.
come of no less than $4,000 fell to the
patentee of the dancing iimcrow."
The invention of "Pharoah's Ser
pents" a toy much in vogue some year.
ago, was the outcome of some chemica
: experiments, and brought the inventor
more than $4,000. The sale .ofth little
, wooden figure, john Gilpin," was in
credibly large for many years, and very
Ingenious toy, known as the "wheel o
life" is said to have produced upwards
ofsl00,O0O profit to its inventor. One o

: invention is not only vast aud varied
but is open to everybody, without respec
to sex or age, station or means.

His Seven Children Hungry and Neg
lected While He Drank.
William Walsh, ship-carpenter en-
ployed at South San Francisco and living
at 518R Ninth street, was arrested yester-
day by Officer Holbrook of the Society for
the Prevention of Cruelty to Children on a
warrant charging him with treating his
family of seven little ones in cruel and
barbarous manner.
An investigation of the case revealed one
OIL the most repulsive phases of depravity
and criminal neglect conceivable. Walsh
lived in fiat of the building set on fire re-
Gently by little daughter of man named
Kingsley who lived upstairs. He earned
So day at his trade, but spent it all in
drunken carousals and satisfying his abnor-
NAL appetite for liquor. His seven young
children were left in the house wholly I'M
provided or cared for.
Early last February Mrs. Walsh died and
since then the house has been a stranger to
the broom. Every thing in the place was
allowed to accumulate filth until the air
reeked with the most disgusting odors. On
the same sheets that his wife had died upon
wash had slept for the last three months
His children suffered as may be imagined
from this fact.
Officer Holbro0k found them wallowing
IN NTH which emitted a stencil that was
stifiing. During the last month the chill
dren had nothing to eat but dry bread with
wan. Of food and sckiy from the life they
were compelled to lead
They were taken to the Youths Direct

KENNEDY FOUND GUILTY.

The Accused Had No Testimony to Offer

The trial of James S. Kennedy for en-
bezzling over 81, 600 from the San Fran
cisco Postoffice. foreign order money de-
partment, was resumed in the United States
District Court in the morning before Judge
Hoffman. and also concluded yesterday.
The testimony given was mainly devoted to
showing the exact amount of money abb
stracted each day by the accused. The de-
tense offered no evidence.
This testimony being brief, the day was
mostly taken up by the arguments. The
Jury retired at $3.50 o'clock, and fifteen min
utes later announced that it had agreed
upon verdict. The prisoner betrayed ex-
treme nervousness as he watched the jurors
he into their seats The foreman an
nounced verdict of guilty, and after the
reading of this verdict, Kennedy's attorney,
A. L. Van Duzer, labored with Judge Hoff-
man TO procure pOstDonement Of the time
set for passing sentence
During the controversy, Kennedy sat
with bowed head and drawn face. He
looked up once. and it was seen that his
eyes were filled with tears. The time was
finally fixed for next Monday. The maxi
mum sentence for the offense is ten years
at San Quentin and $1,000 fine.
