PRIZES ON PATENTS.
How to Get Twenty five Hun
dred Dollars for Nothing.
The Winner has a Clear Gift Of a Small
Fortune, and the Losers Have Patents
that may Bring them In Still More.

Would you like to make twenty-five hun
dred dollars2 If you would, read carefully
what follows and you may see a way to do it.
The Press Claims Company devotes much
attention to patents. 1t has handled thous.
ands of applications for inventions, but it
would like to handle thousand more. There
plenty of inventive talent at large in this
country, needing nothing but encourage ment
to produce practical results. That encourage
ment the Press Claims Company proposes to

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 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
a patentable degree of perfection. This delu-
sion the company desires to dispel. 1t desires
to get into the head of the public clear CON-
prehension of the fact that it 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 fastning bit of rubber
cord to child's ball, so that it would come
back TO the hand when thrown, made fortune
out of his scheme. The modern sewing-ma-
chine is miracle of neutrality-suspicious. OF
the toll of hundreds of busy brains through
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

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,
wi tn ideas that seemed calculated to reduce
some of the0little friotions of life. Usually
such ideas are dismissed without further
thought.
why don't the railroad company make its
car windows so that they can be slid up and
down without breaking the passengers
backs?" exclaims the traveller. "If l were
running the road 1 would make them in such
way"
what was the man that made this sauce
pan thinking OFF, grumbles the cook. HE
never had 30 work over a stove or he would
have known how it ought to have been fixed"
Hang such q collar button!" growls the
man who is late for breakfast. "If were in
the business I'd make buttons that wouldn't
slip out, or break off, or gouge out the back
of my neck"
And then the various suffere s forgot about
their grievar es 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 as IN
dependently wealthy as the man who invent
ed the iron umbrella ring, or the one who

History is series of repetitions. The
incidents vary, but the forces continue.
The alignment of parties in the United
States cannot change except with the
destruction of our systems and institu-
tions. All questions now existing, and
hereafter to arise, to agitate and dis
turb the public mind-temperance,
suffrage, wealth and poverty-will be
determined by the activity of the same
energies that have thus far made and
preserved us a nation. Party utilization
will be largely a matter of temporal
ment and moods in men. The young,
active, alert, aspiring and ambitious
array themselves on the one side, the
old, dull, apathetic. lethargic, plodding
and contented on the other. So long
as the people want to be at anchor and
roll and pitch in the trough of the sea
the democracy will remain in power.

OCEAN WEATHER MAPS.
Facts Concerning the North Atlantic Pilot
Chart.

Facts Concerning the North Atlantic Pilot
Chart.
To the people who live on shore the
weather map is. of course great boon,
and their interests are often greatly
served by such seasonal bic knowledge.
But there is another class of men
men who spend most of their lives on
the ocean, and they need a report. which,
though not unlike that furnished for
the jewellers on land. is vet of differ
ent nature.
The weather bureau in its published
charts comes down to the sea. Then
the photographic Office of the navy
takes up the work. and. for the BEN
eft of the navigators of the Atlantic
ocean. gathers regularly and systemat-
ically facts which, collected in what is
known as the North Atlantic Pilot
Chart, give the seafaring men one of
the most varied publications issued by
any nation on earth. In truth. there is
no similar work that can be in any way
compared with it: none Sd much sought
for. none which receives such willing
aid from the masters of vessels afloat
To the division of marine meteorology
in the photographic office come regular
reports from more than $500 vessels
of every nation. There is not a flag
atloat' from whose representatives
records are not received. MANY foreign
me n-of-war give their assistance. and
this would not usually be accorded I'M
less the results were both useful and
a 70 oil
velopes are furnished free of charge,
and every aid is given to render as light
as possible the task which they under
take. On these meteorological forms,
as they are called. are recorded by the
observers the direction and the force
of winds, the figures shown by barOme-
ter, thermometer, and so on, as they
are each day at noon. The date and
place of running into and leaving fog;
the exact locality of icebergs or float
ing ice seen during the voyage; every
wreck, every buoy adrift, and all unusual
things floating in the water which
might in ure vessel striking them,
are located as accurately as possible.
In the event of unusually severe storms,
like the cyclones of which you have all
heard, records are made on special
forms furnished. If the vessels COM

BEFORE THE REVOLUTION.
Management OF the Money for the Frenc
Secret Service.

Management OF the Money for the French
Secret Service.
The manner in which the secret SER
vice money was disbursed in France be-
fore the revolution introduced another
element of irregularity into the man
agement of the public accounts. and
conduced together with other things to
rendering the task of ascertaining the
true state of the eychequer practically
impossible. 1t was deemed eXpedient
to withhold even from the magistrates
of the cours DIES complies a knowledge
of the way in which certain sums under
this head We're allOcated, Il precaution
which was, to a great extent. unneces-
sary, as part at least of the secret SER
vice money was applied to the ordinary
requirement of the state. But this
practice afforded the king unlimited OPP
portunities for indulging his wasteful in
clinations, as he could draw any sums he
chose from the secret service fund by
merely giving d receipt in the words:
Il know the object of this expendi-
ture. AS the amount of the secret
service fund varied at the pleasure of
the king. there was no means of ascer-
tanning beforehand what sum would be
required for it in any given period. All
that the controller general knew was
that tie sum was always enormous,
and that it generally exceeded 100. OoO,-
Coz livres year.
The king would have done well had
he followed the example OF Nine. de
Pompadour in the matter of keeping
his accounts, whose bookkeeping at
any rate. was of pattern worthy of
imitation. Prodigal as this we'll
abused lady was. every son she received
or paid away during the nineteen years
of her favor was duly entered in her
books. After her death it was found
that in that period she had cost France
the sum of SO. 3221.26S livres. II sous. 6
deniers. The average revenue of the
crown at that time from all sources
was about $40, Goa. GOO livres year. so
that an approximate idea of the scale
on which the kings munifcence was
based can be obtained from the money
he lavished on the leading favorite.-

1t was very still at Louisville. The
attempt to commit the party Indirectly
to women's suffrage was impolitic. for
the reason that this question should be
decided by women and not by men, and
by the states and not by the nation
The tendency from subordination to
equality has been rapid and may be
complete. The chief obstacle to equal
suffrage is not the hostility of men. but
the Indifference of women. The reason
why women do not vote is because they
do not wish to vote. Whenever a ma
jority of the intelligent and patriotic
women of the United States desire the
ballot. they will get it, as they have
obtained everything else they wanted
from the beginning.
The future of republicanism must be
largely tentative. Its policy will be
developed with the emergencies that
must inevitably occur. Its principles
are fixed and unalterable. Their future
application will depend upon the sue
cess of Mr.. Cleveland's administration
in meeting the crisis that now seems
imminent. The continued purchase of
depreciating silver, the expectation of
gold and the gradual exhaustion of the
reserve for redemption in the treasury.

values, the unfavora BILE balance of for
