selves as inventors, butt almost everybody
has been struck, at one time or another,
wi tn ideas that seemed calculated to reduce
some of thellittle frictions of life. Usually
such ideas are dismissed without further
thought.
why don't the railroad company make its
car windows so that they.csn be slid up and

Hang such collar button!" growls the
man who is late for breakfast. "If were in
the business I'd make buttons that would nj
slip out, or break Off, or gouge out the back
of my neck"
And then the various sufferers forgot about
their grievar es and beeinito 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 as In.

ed the iron umbrella ring, or the one who
patented the fifteen puzzle.

An Elephants Sunshade.

On hot summer days in New York,
when the mercury is well up in the nine
ties, it becomes almost necessity to car
ry an umbrella or shade Of some kind to
protect ourselves from the burning rays
of the sun. We should hardly expect,
however, a native of India-residing in
this city-to have the same need for a
sunshade, particularly when the native
is huge Indian elephant. That an ele-
plant should feel the heat in our eli
mate seems rather absurd, but as he does
it is quite in keeping with the general in
telligence of this animal that he should
invent some means of protecting himself
from it.
The elephant Enclosure in Central park
contains no trees nor shade of any kind,
and on those hot days when the heat is
almost unbearable it seems hotter there
than elsewhere in New York. Grouped
around the Enclosure are usually scores
of persons, many with sunshades and
umbrellas, intently watching the ele-
plants. Some of the huge animals are
carefully tossing hay upon their own
backs, while others whose backs are al
most covered may be seen peacefully
resting. Newly mown grass is what the
elephant prefers for this purpose-per-
haps because it feels cooler than hay
but hay answers the purpose very well.
How many visitors to the park on these
warm days have realized that they were
not the only ones carrying sunshades,
and that the elephants were protecting
themselves in like fashion?-Meredith
Nugent in st. Nicholas.

NO BLANKS IN THIS COMPETITION.

This is competition of rather an unusua
nature. 1t is common to offer prizes for the
best story, or picture, or architectural plan
all the con petitors risking the loss Of their
labor and the successful one merely selling
his for the amount of the prtzc. 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 doing it. The prize is only q
stimulus to do something that would be
well worth doing without 1t. 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 q simple and
useful device in the Press Claims Company g
competition, need not worry If he fail to Sc
cure the prize. He has 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 1t than the mechanical expert VINO
studies 1t 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 Company 9
twenty Ave hundred dollars.
The responsibility of this company may be
u dyed from the fact that it's stock is held by
about three hundred of the leading news
papers of the United States.

NOT so HARD AS IT SEEMS.

patent strikes most people as an appal !
ingly formidable thing. The idea is that an
inventor must be natural genius, like Edi
son or Bell; 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
a pateutable degree of perfection. This delu-
sion the company desires to dispel. 1t desires
to get into the head of the public a clear conn.,
prehension of the fact that il is not the great,
complex, and expe usive 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.
tons have not been sufficient TO pay the cost
of his experiments. But the man who con.
ceived the idea of fastning bit of rubber
cord to child'sj ball, 60 that it would come
back TO the hand when thrown, made a fortune
out of his scheme. The modern sewing-ma
chine is miracle of ngenuity-the product OF
the toll of hundreds of busy brains through q
hundred and tiftyryears, but the whole bril-
liant result rests upon the simple device OF
putting the eye of the needle at the point in
stead of at the other end.

A TEMPTING OFFER.

To induce people to keep track of their
bright ideas and sec what there is in them
the Press Claims Company has resolved to
offer price.
To the person who submits to it the sim.
pliest and most promising invention, from
a commercial peint of view, the company will
give twenty-five hundred dollars in cash, in
addition to refunding the fees for securing
the patent.
1t will also advertise the invention free
charge.
This offer is subject to the following con
ditions:
Every competitor must obtain patent for
his invention through the company. He
must first apply for a preliminary search,
the cost of which will be five dollars
Should this search show his invention beot
unpatentable. he can withdraw without fur
Their expense. Otherwise he will be expected
to complete his application and take out a
patent in the regular way. Thetotal expense
including Government and Bureau fees, will
be seventy dollars. For this, whether he
secures the prize or not, the inventor will
have q patent that ought to be a valuable
property TO him. This prize will be awarded
by jury consisting of three reputable patent
attorneys of Washington. Intending COM
petitors should fill out the lowing blank
