ess was to present her two daughters,
Lady Muriel and Lady Constance Will
lowbeigh Great things were whispered
and expected of the two debutantes,
the fame of whose beauty and dots (for
the duke is one of the richest peers in
the lSingdom) had travelled far and wide
and created flutter in ''hig lif' rather
similar TO that occasioned by the COM
iag-out of the two Moncrieffe girls
some thirty years ago, who afterward
became respectively the countess of
Dudley and the notorious but un-
fortunate Lady Mordaunt.
In short, the presentation was to be
an event in society Naturally the
duchess, who is still a handsome woman
and was belle not so very long ago
herself, wished to appear in all her
war-paint, and, to that end, had had
prepared magnificent new court dress
and determined to wear all the family
diamonds, or, at any rate, as many of
them as she could conveniently, re-
specially and decently get on her per
son, for the Willowbeigh diamonds are
not only world-famous for their purity,
size and great value, but for their i'm

designed and extra strong safe at Coutts

his private secretary (Iion. Augustus

Of one OF the bank officials, unlock the

desire, carry them to the carriage in

PERPETUAL MOTION PATENTS.
Why the Government stopped Taking tho
Fees OF the Cranks.

The patent Office has recently ceased
to be party to the fraud of perpetual
motion. Until three years ago 1t was
customary 10 take first fees Ciifteer
dollars) from the perpetual motion
cranlSs as well as from all other would
be inventors. Then, in course Of time, IL
letter was sent to the perpetual motion
applicant telling him that his claim
was bcsed upon an irrational principle,
and that he must furnish working
model OF course, that was the end OF
the application. The model never came,
and the fee remained in the treasury.
About three years ago, says the 81
Louis Globc-Dcmocrat, Principal FIX
amincr William l.. Aughinbaugh went
To the commissioner and suggested
that, as rejection OF the perpetual mo
tlon claim was inevitable, it would be
fnirer 10 refuse the first fees OF such
claimants and TO send them n circular
Immediately upon the filing Of their up
plications telling them that no consid-
Grafton would be given their papers I'M

course has been pursued ever since.
But repeatedly the discovcrcr OF per
pctual motion has been very indignant
at the rejection Of his rendered Zee.
One way that has been adopted by tho
cranks 20 get around the new rule IN
tended for their benefit Is to drop the
claim OF perpetual motion and put IN
the drawings for n motor" Notwith-
standing the policy Of the patent office
10 discourage the perpetual motion
craze and 20 save time aud money for
people, at least two or three claims OF
this character are put In every month.
Not long ago Kansas man claimed
TO have set up the perpetual motion ma

Sometimes the perpetual motion In

bearings and connections which he
asles the examiner TO accept rs evidence
that he has solved the problem. But
the examiner insists that he must see
the perpetual motion before hc grants
the patent.
Last summer New York lawyer
named Todd came all the way 10 Wash
inqton with parts OF u machine, and had
quite controversy with the Office be-
cause the patent was refused He In

Of lodging u complaint against tho sol

Mr.. Edison occupied nearly an acre
with his exhibit ut the Paris exposition.
AS he wishes TO show at Chicago all that
he exhibited ut Paris, and numerous
other things besides, he Is desirous OF
being accorded greater space In 1903.
The electrical exhibit Is expected TO be

Andhe went far astray,
These long years have Iprayed Thee
Show him the narrow way
Though with the swine be feasted,

My youngest born, OF save him,
Wherever he may be-
The only prayer now left me
Is. Lord, that Thou wouldst turn
His heart TO Thee IN sorrow,
Thus, Lord. that he might learn;
Though sin may not come nigh Thee
The sinner may ind grace;
II he repents him truly.
Thou wilt not hide Thy face
For years, Lord. has he wander'd,
Let him arise and say:
Against Thee have l sinned,
No longer here stay;
"I will return unto Thee,
And at Thy feet will pray,
That, like the prodigal Of old
be not turned away
II may be, Lord, that never
He will come home TO me;
I dare lot pray for that, Lord,
While he Is far from Thee.
Yet, Lord, all things are possible,
And mighty IS Thy graeei
1t may be the day cometh
That 1 shall see his face.
The face OF him who left me,
My youngest born, my pride;
There came day Geem'd IL
Far better he had died. E.

O Lord, Thy viii be done;
II may be in Thy mercy
Thou wilt bring home my son.
