What May Be Patented,

It may be of interest to readers to
know what may be patented. A United
States patent will be granted to any per-
son who has invented or discovered any
new and useful art, machine, manufact-
ure, or Improvement thereof, not known
or used by others in this country, and
not patented or described in any printed
publication in this or any other country,
before his discovery or invention thereof,
and not in public use nor on sale for
more than two years prior to his appli
cation, unless the same is proved to have
been abandoned.
In this connection the word "art''
means the process or method of produc-
ing an old or new result. If a method
of doing anything contains one or more
new steps the process is new and patent
able
The word machine" means any de-
vice or thing by means of which me-
chanical result may be produced, such
as a pin, churn, or locomotive.
The word manufacture" means a
made up article, such as furniture, cloth
ing, harness, and the thousands OF things
which are offered for sale.

Trademarks may be registered for any
arbitrary sign OF symbol which is not
descriptive; the government fee is $25.
Such marks are the exclusive property
of the registrar for thirty years, and the
time may be extended.
A "label" is any descriptive tag, print
or impression to be placed upon any ar
ticle or its case, and it may be registered
for twenty-eight years. The government
fee for ''label' is SO; but if it contains
any special mark or symbol the Office de-
cides it to be trademark instead of a
label.-Youth's Companion.

MalIeahle Glass.

One of the lost arts, provided it ever
existed, was the malleable glass of the
ancients. The Egyptians and the Phe-
nicians made glass-for many early spec
linens remain-fully 1900 years B. G..
In the reign of Tiberius a per5on ap-
peared in Rome who claimed that he had
invented infexible glass. The story
tells that he produced glass vase.
which he cast on the marble floor with
vehemence, SO as to bend it, but restored
it's shape with few blows from ham
mer, and that, at the solicitation of a
mob of artifcers, who feared that the
new process might supersede the use of
their vessels of metals, the emperor re-
tanned the glass vase, but ordered the in
genious artist to be put to death.
Since then two or three other persons
claimed the discovery of process for
making malleable glass, but nothing
came of it. The art, however, is scarce
ly ''lost," for in the glass houses of
Murano, close to Venice, they make
glass plates which can be bent and
thrown about without breaking, but
will not bear to be hammered. Every
one almost has seen what is called spun
glass, which you can twine round the
finger as if it were silk: but this cannot
be converted by any process into YES
sci to hold water. Malleable glass is
not a lost, because it has never been a
found, art.-Thomas j. Bowditch in
Troy Times.

English women,s Cans.

in Chicago" remarked Mrs. Tenant,
Mr.. Stanley's mother-in-law. 81 could
not help overhearing what one of them
said when 1 entered the room at the club
reception. There comes one of 'em, said
the lady in a tone loud enough for me to
hear distinctly. There comes one of
'em; she's English, know, for English
women when they get old always wear
tides on their headsI' No, 1 don't know
what the American people call tides,
but I'm sure the remark was not compi-
mentary. Still it is the custom with
us to wear caps-why, the queen wears
them; 1 do not mean to give them up. :"

The Ball Last Night.

The special train from Portland bring
ing the Locomotive Firemen and their
friends to attend the ball last night
given by Mt. Hood lodge, arrived here
about o'clock, bringing over two hun
dred persons. The brass band met
them at the Umatilla House and after
the crowd had separated, marched to
Armory hall where the dance was. held.
At O'Clock the crowd in the Mtmory
had assumed huge proportions and when
the grand march commenced, notwith-
standing the hall is 80 by 100 feet there
was hardly room for all. The music
was furnished by Professor Birgfeld' g
band and was as usual the very best.
Over 400 tickets were sold here, and it
certainly looked as if every ticket holder
was there. Supper was served by Billy
Graham and of course gave entire satis-
faction. 1t was from every standpoint
the most successful ball given in The
Dalles in years.

The Appropriated sleigh Bells in Ju

The Appropriated Sleigh Bells in July.
The well filed stores and gaudy shop
windows of the Indiana and Ohio towns
seemed to stimulate in men accustomed
to impoverished and unpretentious Dixie,
as were Morgan's raiders, the propensity
to appropriate beyond limit or restraint
have never before seen anything like
this disposition to plunder. Our perilous
situation only seemed to render the men
more reckless. At the same time, any
thing more ludicrous than the manner in
which they indulged their predatory
tastes can scarcely be imagined. The
weather was intensely warm-the hot
July sun burned the earth to powder,
and we were breathing superheated dust
yet one man rode for three days with
seven pairs of skates slung about his
neck; another loaded himself with sleigh
bells.
A large chatting dish, medium sized
Dutch clock, green glass decanter, with
goblets to match, bag of horn buttons,
chandelier and bird cage containing
three canaries were some of the articles
1 saw borne off and jealousy fondled.
The officers usually waited reasonable
period, until the novelty had worn off,
and then had this rubbish thrown away.
Baby shoes and calico, however, were
the staple articles of appropriation. A
fellow would procure a bolt of calico,
carry it carefully for day or two, then
cast it aside and get another.-Basil w.

to being run down by politicians who
want places for their proteges and by
place seekers themselves. But today,
for the first time in my life, have been
waited on by man who wished to mott

is from the Sixth Assembly district, New

was appointed about three months ago.
'1n rendering his resignation he said
he could do better In private employ

workman at twice that amount. What
with political assessments, entertaining
his party friends, purchase of tickets of

his purse, he found little Of his wages
