What is Invention.

The late Judge Hall, of the Circuit
Court of the United States, says
IAN invention, in the sense of the
patent law, means the finding out,
the continuing, the creating of some
thing which did not exist and was
not known before, and which can be
made useful and advantageous in the
pursuits of life, or which can add to
the enjoyment ofmankind. In other
words, the thing patented must be
new; and it must be useful to an
appreciate extent, though the mea.
sure of that usefulness is not mates
rial. Any degree of utility appreci-
able by jury is sufficient, upon the
question Of utility to- sustain a pat
ent."

field, without a particle of cultivation;
produced over sixty bushels per acre
of sound corn-quite as much as
other adjoining fields cultivated in
the best manner. This year this
field has been thoroughly cultivated,
yet will hardly produce as much corn
as was planted.
In areas where such meteorological
conditions obtain, can we double the
product-as some writers claim-by
improved modes of culture?
There are lands and lands, all of
which differ, and while lying side by
side and treated in the same way
will in good seasons, give equally
good crops, but the reverse in excep-
tiOnal seasons, as is shown in the
case of quarter section Of this farm,
all of which is creek bottom and d.
vided into two nearly equal parts by
a creek lying about Is feet lower
than the cultivated land. The soil is
apparently identical in character, and
both parts are planted to corn with
lister Gas was the case last year
when there was no appreciate diff
ference in the crop, have both had
the same careful cultivation and yet
on the west side of the creek the soil
is thoroughly died out below the
corn roots, the corn burned up and
the yield will not exceed the seed
planted. On the east side of the
creek the corn is fresh and green, the
soil moist four inches below the sur
face, and with rain within a week
or ten days will make good crop, al
though it has not had drop Of rain
on it since June IS. We have hereto
fore thought this land was of equal
value, although we saw that in dry
seasons the eastern half produced a
somewhat better crop, but this fierce
drouth has caused more careful con-
sideration of the case, and we find
that.on the west side, from to 10 feet
below the surface, lies an impenetra-
BILE bed of shale which prevents ca
pillary action, while on the east side
the shale is absent (having been
washed out in former geological ages
permitting free capillary action from
the bed of sand which has replaced
the shale.
On the west half of this tract els
ter" planting did not save the corn as
it unquestionably has, thus far
on the east side, as corn on the farm
adjoining that on the east side, plant
ed on the surface with a corn-planter
has been burned up and ruined thi;
two weeks. This proves conclusive
ly that on our very best bottom lands
listed corn-listed as deep as possible
will stand the fiercest of drouths
, from six to seven weeks or more thar
! twice as long as that planted with {
, corn planter. This is an object les
son of the most valuable character.

A Modern Need for Sleep.

Home journal.
There Is not one man or woman in
10000 who can afford to do without
seven or eight hours sleep. All those
stories written about great men and
women who sleep only three or four
hours night makes very interesting
reading; but tell you my readers,
no man or woman ever yet kept
health in body and mind for a num-
Der of years with less than seven
hours sleep. Americans need more
sleep than they are getting. This
lack makes them so nervous and the
insane asylums so populous. Ifyou
can get to bed early then rise early.
If you cannot gett bed till late then
rise late. 1t may be as Christian for
one man to rise at as ii is for anOth-
er to rise at 5. 1 counsel my readers
to get up when they are rested. But
let the rousing bell be rung at least
thirty minutes before your public ap,
pearance. Physicians say that a sud
den jump out of bed gives irregular
motion to the pulse. 1t takes hours
to get over a too sudden rising. Civ,
us time after you call US to roll over
gaze the world full in the face ant
leok before you jump.

With q Bullet.

Wrapped in the National colors, the
body OF ex-AldermRn Edward j. Rapp
lay this morning in the little meeting
in the rear of his saloon. 166 Essex

in the d~ispensary at Bellevue Hospital.

whelmed with debts, which he saw no

his trouble with q bullet.
But what of the wife and family he
leaves behind? In sluHy apartments
above the saloon sat Mrs. Rapp, almost
~heartbroken with sorrow. BY her side
were three little children. As the re-
porter entered the room one of them
asked in his ~plaintive childish way
