NO BLANKS IN THIS COMPETITION.

This Is a competition of rather an unusual
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 sue Sessful one merely selling
his for the amount of the prize But the
Press Claims Company's offer is sonnet hing
entirely different, Each person is asked
merely to help himself, and the one who
helps himself to the best advantage is to be
rewar ded for doing it. The prize ia only a
stimulus to do something that would be
well worth doing without It. The architect
whose competitive plan for Q club house on a
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'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 IL only from the theoretical point of
view. Get rid of the idea that an improve
ment can be too simple to be worth patentiug.
The simpler the better. The person who best
succeeds In combining simplicity and pOpu-
larity, will get the Press Claims Company's
twenty-five hundred dollars.
The responsibility of this company may be
Judged from tue fact that its stock is held by
about three hundred of the leading news
papers of the United States.

Wisdom is the knowledge of the
laws of nature, and God the Diety,
is the maker of these laws. But the
wisdom of Solomon, and the bible
in general, only treats of the law
of nature, in regard to man. 1t was
from the beginning, and as Solo
mon explains, the law was made
before man was created. Wisdom
has it's aXioms and points, like
mathematics, and we could include
algebra and mathematics under
the head of wisdom, and if some
people do not understand this
science, then it is not the fault of
the algebra and mathematics, but
the lack of sagacity in the heads Of
such people, and so it is, likewise,
with the bible; if it is not under
stood, the fault is not in the bible.
The bible informs us that Moses
was found and brought up by an
Egyptian princess and that Moses
was scholar, so we must conclude
that wisdom was cultivated as
science in the Thebaen schools,
and the history written in the
sand and ruins Of ancient Egypt
teaches us that wisdom, knowledge
and art were flourishing when
Egypt was in her prime days. In
fact, it is notpossible for any
large society of men to exist with
out rules and regulations, and
these regulations were tried
through millions till wisdom was
established as science and the
supremacy of the law of nature
is as good today as it was thou
sands of years ago. She is not
an act to amend an act
then thereby would she &C
knowledge her own Ignorance,
When we consider that the The
baen schools were the fountain
from which great philosophy and
learning came, and we compare
the influence of the schools of San
Antonio on the surrounding coun-
try with that of the Thebaen
schools, how large would then the
influence of the Thebaen school be?
Moses in Geneses 2, 10, IL, y and
Ii, throws light on the geograph-
ical knowledge of the Egyptians
and the belief of the ancients
that the ocean currents started in
Paradise or the throne of the diety,
and when as he saws the SehOn
stream or ocean, went all around
the land of Otiopia, we must con-
clude that Africa was unnavigated
or known all through by land.
The Hederil stream or ocean
went round by Assyria or Asia, the
Pfroat was the frozen ocean, that
at that time extended far more
south, and the Tison stream or
ocean went along the whole land
of Havila, the Habana of the Gui-
ma Consult the writing on the
rocks and in all probability they
knew the Helula or North America.
If they could not build costly pyra-
mids, they built mounds, earth
pyramids.

wise men, and that there is moth
ing new under the sun; what has
been before can be again. The

DUERLER'S OPINION.
He is Not in Favor of Making
ANY Water Changes.

Any Water Changes.
A reporter for the LIGHT called
on G. A. Duerler, the fire chief,
yesterday, and asked his views on
the water works question which
now is being agitated by the
council. Mr.. Duerler said:
"The present system of water
works in San Antonio is the finest
in southwest Texas, and could not
be improved. 1t is very costly
though, costing t of the revenue
of the city each year, and this
must be remedied. l am of the
opinion that were the council to
approach Col. Breckenridge in the
proper manner, he would devise
some scheme, by which water
could be furnished at much
smaller expense to the city. Col.
Breckenridge is not man who
enjoys being picked at, and for
that, if no other reason, he would
do all in his power to aid the city.
Mr.. Duerler spoke of, the pure
water in San Antonio, of the large
and model water mains and seems
to be sgreatly opposed to making
any change, if it can be avoided,
giving as his main reason, that it
would cost large sum of money
to even take the first steps.

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 the1little frictions 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 would make them in such
way"
what was the man that made this sauce
pan thinking OFF, grumbles the cook 'He
never lad 80 work over a stove or he would
have known how it ought to have been fixed :"
Hang such q collar button!" growis the
man who is late for breakfast. "If were in
the business I'dimake buttons that wouldn't
slip out, or break off, or gouge out the back
of my neck"
And then the various sufferers forgot about
their grlevar C 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.
dependeutly wealthy as the man who invent
ed the iron umbrella ring, or the one who
patented the fifteen puzzle.

NOT so HARD AS IT SEEMS.

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 SIP snt fortune on delicate
experiments before he can ger 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 clear CON-
prehension of the fact that ii is not the great,
complex, and expensive inventions that bring
the best returns to their au hors, out the lit
tie simple, and cheap ones-the things that
seem 80 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 hs has received
from the patents on all his marvellous iuven-
lions have not been sufii cient to pay the cost
of his experiments. But the man who con-
ceived the idea of fastning q bit of rubber
cord to cnild's ball, 60 that it would come
back TO the hand when thrown, made fortune
out of his scheme. The modern sewing-ms-
chine is miracle of ngenuity--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
doFo h.
