A BURGLAR DEMORALiZER.
How 1t Worked and Why the lnyentol
Didn't Get # Patented.


Didn't Get # Patented.
81 once invented" said man who
lived in the suburbs to a New York
Sun reporter, "a burglar demoralizer
that was very effective in its way, but
l never got it patented, because 1
didn't think I ought to. 1t was very
simple contrivance. 1t consisted mere.
ly of a stout wire stretched across tho
floor at such q distance from the door
and windows that anyone entering
would get under headway before reach
ing it, and low enough so that he
would fall over it. There had been
number of burglars in our town, and SO
l fitted up the lower floor of our house
with the demoralizer. We adjusted
the wires the last thing at night, when
we were locking up.
Zone night-about three nights I
think after we had set them up--we
heard noise at the back door, and we
knew that somebody was coming. We
gathered around the head of the back
stairs and listened. The burglar got
in without much trouble and closed
the door softly behind him, and then
for moment everything was very
still Then there was a great thud
that fairly shook the house, then an
other moment of stiffness, and then
the suppressed, but steady sound of a
human voice. 1t was the burglar sit
ting on the kitchen floor and cussin'.
AFTER awhile we moved around a
little upstairs to let him know we were
on deck, and he got up and went away.
He didn't take anything, but Mrs.
Suburb said she had rather he had
taken everything there was in the
house than to hear him swear SO, and
that is why l never got the demoralizer
patented. 1t was effective, but it would
have seemed like offering a premium
on prOfanity."

fectly willing to take them, although
aware that they are spurious. There Is no
cIew to the manufacturers.

DUCKS SENSE OF DIRECTION,
The Fowl Is Not as Dull as Is Commonly
Supposed.

According to James Payne, who
writes in the Illustrated London News,
the duck has been supposed to be the
dullest of all birds, SO much so as to
reply in the affirmative to the invita-
ton: "Dilly. dilly, come and be killed. !"
A correspondent in New Zealand sup
plies me, however, with an anecdote
to the contrary:
81 live on the shore Of the harbor,
and have a friend who dwells on the
opposite shore eleven miles from me in
a straight line. He lives up a narrow
creek, and in coming to my place he
has to pass number of other creeks
on either side, then several islands and
finally to cross n stretch of open water
about four miles across. where a swift
tide runs and where there is often a
heavy sea. A few weeks ego this
friend came to see me and brought
with him as present a common drake
which had been bred on his place and
had never been hundred yards from
the house. 1t came over in the bottom
of the boat, where it could see nothing
but the sky, with its legs tied. When
he gave it to me | turned it adrift with
my own ducks and thought no more
about it. and. in fact. ] never saw it
again. When l saw my friend. how
ever. some time after. he told me that
on the morning after his visit to me he
was awakened by a great commotion
and quacking in his duclSyard, and on
going out to see what was the natter
he saw the drake which he had brought
over 70 me waddling up to the in
closure in rather a travel-worn condi-
ton, while his brethren were weleon-
ing him as one restored to them from
the dead"
Considering what this drake accom-
plished, my correspondent justly con-
siders his achievement entitled to be
coupled with that of the other circmzn-
navigator, his namesake.
