PATENT OFFICE DECISION.
Attorneys Foster and Freedman Held I'd
BE Blameless,

| BE Blameless.
| WASHINGTON, July 22.-The decision
of the commissioner of patents was rem.
dered FSiday in the case of ATTORNEYS
Foster and Freedman and ex-Commis-
sloner Simonds, charged by Attorneys
Church Il Church with wrongfully talk
ing from the patent Office last February
copies of the drawings of certain limo
pending applications of Daniel Draw.
baugh for claimed improvements in
telephony.
The decision which contains nearly
30, 600 words and comprises an exhaus-
tive review of the case holds Messrs.
Foster and Freedman blameless and dis.
misses the charges against ex-Commis-
sloner Simonds. 1t is held in the de-
cision that nothing was irregularly or
illegally done in procuring the copies
OF the applications of Drawbaugh and
the commissioner in conclusion saws:
"Ihe fact that in all these cases writ
ten requests were regularly made and
either expressly granted by the com.
missioner or assistant commissioner, or
whereby necessary implication author
lzed by the commissioner to be made
and furnished, is the sufficient answer
to these charges upon the part of Eos
ter and Freedman, unless there is ground
Tor holding that the action of the Office
itself was obtained in some manner bv
collusion.
ut must be held that no charge
against Foster and Freedman or against
either of them is sustained in respect
OF any OF these papers, either in pro-
curing the papers themselves for their
clients or in acting in any manner in
collusion with others to obtain COPIES
for any other purpose.

Where Peppermint Oil Is Raised.

More than one-half of all the Oil Of
peppermint, spearmint and tansy used
in the world is said to be produced and
distilled in Michigan. The center of the
industry is st. Joseph county. Pepper
mint plants weighing $1,000 tons when
dried are cultivated every year in the
state. From these the essential oils are
distilled. Early in spring the roots are
planted in burrows from two to three
feet apart. In day good workman
will plant an acre with them. A few
weeks later the rows meet and cover the
entire ground. In September the plants
mature. They are then covered with
fragrant purple blossoms, and the time
has arrived for moving. After lying in
the sun to dry they are raked into heaps
and taken to the distilleries, of which
there are about $50 in the state.
1t is estimated that $50 pounds of dried
peppermint plants produce one pound Of
oil. The yield per acre is 15 pounds Of
oil. Distilled peppermint brings from
s1.25 to So per pound in the home mar
ket. The industry was originally estab-
hshed in Mitcham, England, about $50
years ago. Early in the present century
beginning was made in this country, in
Wayne county, N. ", and in st. Joseph,
Mich. Today nine-tenths of the entire
product of the world are made in the
United States.-New York Post.

FALCONS In Janan.

In the olden times in Japan all the dai-
mios (similar to the old English lord) had
great sport with falcons, as they went
out to the field to catch other birds with
falcons. The falcons were tanned well
and used to catch large birds, mostly
cranes. When people now go out hunt
ing with falcons, the men in charge hold
the falcons upon their fingers. As soon
as one sees any bird he let's the falcon
rush at the bird; as soon as the falcon
reaches the bird he bites at the throat
and throws the bird down to the ground.
Meanwhile the holder runs to the place
where they are and catches both of them.
Falcons are not large birds, but as they
belong to the eagle family they are
strong and brave and never afraid to go
at any bird to kill it, but the men in
charge of falcons of course take great
care in feeding and tanning them.-Chi-
cago News Record.

"Riding and Hitching."

One mode of transportation among
the poor whites Of southern West Vir-
ginia is known as ''riding and hitching.'
It ie resorted to when two travellers find
themselves with only one horse and
they are going too far to ride double. .
In riding and hitching" one traveller
takes the horse and goes mile or more,
while the other foots it behind. The
equestrian naturally makes faster speed
than the walker. So, after he has ridden
his share, he dismounts and bitches his
steed to tree by the roadside and
pushes ON afoot. In time the other
walker comes to the hitched animal
mounts him, rides on until he has over
taken the first rider and got some dis
tance in front, when the operation is
repeated. Thus each rides alternately,
and the horse gets breathing SPELL

Making Imitation diamonds.

The material in which imitation dia-
monds are produced is called strass,
from the name of its inventor, a German
jeweler who flourished at the beginning
of the present century. 1t is perfectly
colorless and transparent glass, or rather
crystal, of irreproachable purity, COM
posed of rock crystal, or of white sand,
mixed with oxide of lead, arsenical acid
and other ingredients Its preparation
demands infinite care and multitude
of precautions, to avoid the possibility
of the slightest flaw or bubble being
introduced into the mass, from which
are then cut the false gems in the pro-
portions desired. Small or medium
sized diamonds produce much better
effect than do large ones.
For tho best forms of imitation jewel
ry they are cut by the same workmen
that are employed in executing that
function with real stones. Their task is
much easier owing to the comparative
softness Of strass, a quality which causes
ornaments in imitation diamonds to lose
very speedily their brilliancy and their
deceptive aspect. To remedy this state
of things imitation emeralds, rubies and
sapphires are often set with layer or
slice cut from real precious stone of in
ferior value and cemented with trans
parent and colorless compound on the
top of the false gem. so as to cover it
completely.-Ladies' Home Journal.
