NO BLANKS IN This COMPETITION.

This is a competition of rather an unusual
nature. 1t is common to offer prizes for tie
best story, or picture, or architectural plan,
all the con petitors risking the loss of their
labor and the sucC essful one merely selling
his for the amount of the prizo. But the
Press Claims Company's offer is something
entirely different, Each person is asked
merely to help himself, and the one who
helps himself to the best advantage Is to be
rewarded for doinr it. The prize is only
stimulus to do something that would be
well worth doing without it. The architect
whose competitive plan for club house on q
certain corner is not accepted has not spent
his labor on something of very little use to
him. But the person who patent simple and
useful device in the Press Claims Compauy's
competition, need not worry If he fail to Sc
cure the prize. He has a substantial result to
show for his work-one that will command its
value in the market at any time.
The plain man who uses any article in his
daily work ought to know better how to I'M
prove it than the mechanical expert who
studies it only from the theoretical point of
view. Get rid of the idea that an improve
ment can be too simple TO be worth patenting.
The simpler the better. The person who best
succeeds In combining simplicity and popu-
larity, will get the Press Claims CompRnys
twenty-five hundred dollars.
The responsibility of this company may be
Judged from the fact that its stock is held by
about three hundred of the leading news
papers of the United States.

A TEMPTING OFFER.

To induce people to Ieep track of their
bright ideas and see what there is in them,
the Press Claims Company has resolved 10
offer price.
To the person who submits to it the sim
pliest and most promising invention, from
a commercial point of view, the company will
give twenty-five hundred dollars in each in
addition to refun ding the fees for securing
the patent.
1t will also advertise the inve ntion free of
charge.
This offer is subject to the following con-
ditlons:
Every competitor must obtain a patent n
his. invention through the company. He
must first apply for a preliminary search.
q the cost of which will be five dollars
Should this search show his invention to be
unpatentable, he can withdraw without fur
Their expense. Otherwise he will be expected
to complete his application and take out a
patent in the regularway. The total expense,
including Government and Bureau fees, will
be seventy dollars. For this, whether he
secures the prize or not, the inventor will
have patent that ought to be valuable
property to him. This prize will be awarded
by a jury consisting of three reputable patent
attorneys of Washington. Intending COM
petitors should 1ll out the folio wing blank,
and forward ii with their applications:

NOT so HARD AS IT SEEMS.

A patent strikes most people as an appall
ingly formidable thing. The idea is that an
inventor must be a natural genius, like Edi-
son or Bel; that he must devote years to
delving in complicated mechanical problems
and that he must spent fortune on delicate
experiments before he can get new device to
patentable degree of perfection. This delu-
sion the company desires to dispel. 1t desires
to get into the head of the public a clear COM
prehension OF the fact that il is not the great,
complex and expensive inventions that bring
the best returns to their authors, out the lit
tie, simple, and cheap ones-the things that
seem so absurdly trivial that the average citi-
zen would feel somewhat ashamed of bringing
them to the attention of the Patent Office.
Edison says that the profits he has received
from the patents on all his marvellous inven-
lions have not been sufficient to pay the cost
of his experiments, But the man who con-
ceived the idea of fastnng bit of rubber
cord to child's ball, 20 that it would come
back TO the hand when thrown, made fortune
out of his scheme. The modern sewing-ma-
chine is miracle of ingenuity-the product of
the toll of hundreds of busy brains through a
hundred and fifty years, but the whole bril-
liant result rests upon the simple device of
putting the eye of the needle at the point in

The human family is plagued
by a number of little enemies
some with wings and others with
out them. They are small but dis
tinctly eloquent when warmed up
over their subject. Our trembling
pen has time only for the mention
of three-the flea, the mosquito
and the bed-bug-an unhOly
but mighty trinity. The
flea is honest about what
he does, refusing to skulk
off cowardly when you gaze upon
him; the mosquito is bold, open
and frank, disdaining to assault
you without due warning, always
telling you to look out for yourself,
before he strikes you. But the bed
bug, the sneaking, contemplate,
cOwardly bed-bug, does his work
in the dark, without the least
warning to his prey, and skulks at
the least movement and the first
appearance of light. He strikes
from behind and is too cowardly
to own up to his ugly deeds. We
hate him intensely, while we re-
spect the flea and the mosquito.
Like unto the bed-bug, are a great
many human beings, whose meth
DDS of observation-disclosures, coward
ness and deviltry in assaulting the
character of their fellows, are syn
onymous. They work in the dark,
doing their Matchmaking and
skulk to their hidings when the
light appears. And now abideth
the flea, the mosquito and thelbed-
bug-these three, but the meanest
of them all is the bed-bug.

DON'T I!

By Henry Ryder Taylor
Two lovers sat beneath tree,
And | was handy by,
A maiden fair as fair could be,
And he was young and Spry.
Twas quiet then, none else to see,
He sought a lovers bliss,
But the maiden gave short answers,
And not the longed for kiss,
Twas this
Don't"
Don't -
81 wish you wouldn't plague" said she,
'Oh don't, you awful tease,
You ought to know girls like the men
Who gentle are and please,
Now take your arm from round my
waist
Oh! please don't crush my hat
And, Fray, do let my curls alone
What next will you be at
"Ob Jack"
Don't" w
"Don't!!!"
"Now do be quiet, there's dear,
What would the people say?
IF they saw that you carressed me,
In such an awful way.
What kiss you? No! I'm Sure shall'nt,
You're really gOiL G too far:
Oh Jack! you shouldn't, you're too rude
I'll really tell mamma"
But she''.
"Don't!'
Don't!!"
Don't!l!"
/ left those lovers cooling there;
His arm was well around her,
Her head was resting on his breast
And naught could then confound her.
Soft words were sad, and kisses sweet
Were then so freely given,
For they were happy in their love,
And found lovers heaven.
None said:
Don't"
Don't!"

Tho Little Things The Most Valuable.

Comparatively few people regard them
selves as inventors, but almost everybody
has been struck, at one time or another,
with ideas that seemed calculated to reduce
some of the5little frictions OF life. Usually
such' ideas are dismissed without further
thought.
"Why don't the railroad company make it's
car windows so that they can be slid up and
down without breaking the passengers
backs" exclaims the traveller. IF ! were
running the road would make them in such
a way"
what was the man that made this sauce
pan thinking OFF," Rrumb les the cook. "He
never had 10 work over a stove or he would
have known how it ought to have been fixed"
Hang such collar buttonw growls the
man who is late for breakfast. IF were in
the business I'd lake buttons that would Mt
slip out, or break off, or gouge out the back
of my neck"
And then the various sufferers forgot about
their grievar eos and begin to think of some
thing else. If they would sit down at the
next convenient opportunity, put their ideas
about car windows, saucepans, and collar
buttons into practical shape, and then apply
for patents, they might find themselves ssln-
dependently wealthy as the man who invent
ed the iron umbrella ring, or the enc who
patented the fifteen puzzle

At the north pole there is only one direc-
tion-south. One could go south in as
many ways AS there are points on the com,
pass card, but every one Of these ways il,
south; east and west have vanished. The
hour of the day at the pole is a paradoxical
conception, for that point is the meeting
place of every meridian, and the time of all
holds good, SO that it is always any hour
one cares to mention. Unpunctuality is
hence impossible-but the question grows
complex, and its practical solution con
Germs few.
No one needs to go to the pole to discover
all that makes that point different from
any other point of the surface But the
whole polar regions are full of unknown
things, which every arctic explorer of the
right stamp look forward to finding. And
the reward he looks forward to most is the
approval of the few who understand and
love knowledge for its own sake rather
than the noisy applause of the crowd who
would cheer him, after all. much as they
cheer winning prizeflghter or race horse

PENNsYLvANlAs OIL INDUSTRY
Marvellous Growth OF tho Business I'm the.
Past Decade,

HARRIsDURG, Sept. 13-Tn his forth
coming annual report, Professor Albert s.
Bolles, chief Of the department of in
dustrial statistics, will give o compre-
hensive review of the development of the
petroleum industry in Pennsylvania, with
interesting statistics regarding the pro-
duction, consumption and expectation of
the fluid. A larger percentage of the oil
product is sent abroad than that of any
other product except cotton. A gallon of
oil in bulk cost in 1851 not less than So
cents and in 1892 not more than 3I6 cents,
or hardly one-seventeenth of the old price
Pipe lines aggregating 5000 miles have
been laid and good tank cnrs haye been
built. Besides these cars and n number OF
bulk sailing and other vessels, fifty-nine
bulk steamers are now employed in trans
porting the oil TO foreign countries
The value of Pennsylvania's oil lands
and wells is estimated at more than SS7,-
100000, and to this vast sum must be
added sG5, 900, 600 to cover the value of the
plant employed in producing crude petro-
leum. This valuation does not include
pipe lines tank cars, fleet Of bulk vessels,
etc. The estimated total capital is $780,
100000, The first flowing we'll was struck
in February, 1861, although other wells
had been driven in 1850. 1t is stated that
one WELL the Noble, produced 5000, 600
worth of oil. The report contains much
interesting historical matter and tables,
showing the production and export prices,
the various methods of refining the cap
ital invested, labor employed and wages
paid.

May Think 1t Wise for tho Time to

WASHINGTON, Sept. 1s- Another CHI
nese bill Is now In course Of preparation
by Mr.. McCreary, of Kentucky, chairman
of tho foreign affairs committee Of the
house, who recognizes the necessity for
some prompt action by congress- The
new bill will do away with the exclusion
act
The government has suspended the en-
forcement of the Geary law by declining
to mako further arrests. In any city of
California 500 Cinnamon could be arrested
within nm hour for being in this country
in violation Of the Geary law, but United
States officers are instructed not to disturb
them for the present. In tho Los Angeles
case where private citizens made COM
plant to United States Judge Ross that
certain Chinaman were in the United
States in violation of the Geary law, Judge
Ross held that Cinnamon could be mr.
rested and deported on tho %mplaint of a
private citizen, and that the United States
government must deport such Cinnamon
so found here. In doing this he construed
that the law Of September, 1888, was in
force.
Acting under decision of the solicitor
of the treasury rendered Oct 16, 1888, the
treasury department in n circular letter of
instructions held that "the Chinese act
of Sept 10, 1883, never went into opera
tion and Is of no binding force, for the rea-
son that il is dependent on the ratification
of treaty with China, never ratified"
Various interpretations have been put on
this act by various United States judges
sitting in various sections of the country
If the construction of the treasury be up
held, then 1t will follow that private eiti-
zens cannot force the government to exc
cute law which it may think it wise for
the time to suspend.
