PRIZES ON PATENTS
How to Get Twenty-Five
Hundred Dollars for
Nothing.
The Winner has Clear Gift Of Small
Fortune, and the L0sers Have Patents
That May Bring Them in
Still More.

Would you like to make twenty-five
hundred dollars? If you would, read
carefully what follows and you may
see way to do it.
The Press Claims Company deyotes
much attention to patents. 1t has
handled thousands of applications for
inventions, but it would like to handle
thousands more. There is plenty of
inventive talent at large in this coun-
try, needing nothing but encourage
nent to produce practical results.
That encouragement the Press Claims
Company proposes to give.
NOT so HARD AS III SEEMS.
A patent strikes most people as an
appallingly formidable thing. The
idea is that an inventor must be a
natural genius, like Edison or Bell I;
that he must deyote years to delNing
in complicated mechanical problems
and that he spend fortune on deli
cate experiments before he can get a
new device to u patentable degree OF
perfection. This delusion the com
pany desires to dispel. 1t desires to
get into the head Of the public clear
comprehension of the fact that it is
not the great, complex and expensive
inventions that bring the best returns
( to their authors, but the little, simple
and cheap ones-the things that seen
so absurdly trivial that the average
citizen would feel somewhat ashamed
of bringing them to the attention 0
the Patent Office.
Edison says that the profits he ha
received from the patents on all hi
marvellous inventions have not bee
sufficient to pay the cost Of his expel
iments. But the man who conceive,
the idea of fastening a bit Of rubbe
cord to a child's ball, so that it woul
J come back to the hand when thrown
i made a fortune on his scheme Th
modern sewing-machine is a miracI
} of ingenulty-the product Of the to
! of hundreds Of busy brains through
] hundred and fifty years, but the who
brilliant result rests upon the simp
device Of putting the eye Of the need
at the point instead Of at the 9TH
end.

THE LITTLE THINGS THE MOST
VALUABLE

Comparatively few people regard
themselves as inventors, but almost
everybody has been struck, at one
time or another, with ideas that seem
ed calculated to reduce some Of the
little frictlons 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?" ex-
claims the traveller. eIf | we're run
ming tie road / would make them in
such way"
"What was the man that made this
saucepan thinking OF? " grumbles the
cook. "He never had to work over a
stove, or he would have known how it
ought to have been fixed"
"Hang such a collar buttonl' growls

tons that wouldn't slip out, or break
oil, or gouge out the back Of my neck. .
And then the various suffers forget
all about their grievances and begin
to think Of something else. II they
would SIT down at the next convenient
opportunity, put their ideas about cal
windows, saucepans AMI collar but
tons into practical shape, and then
apply for patents, they might find
themselves as independently wealthy
as the man who invented the iron um.
brclla ring, or the one who patented
the fifteen puzzle.

AN ENORMOUS ENDLESS CHAIN.
The Rapid Handling of Logs In the North
bifkl west OF Maine. ta5 W.

The Rapid Handling of Logs In the North
81 hfik west Of MsiRe. ~
Up in the northwest wilderness of
Maine some capitalists, who have
bought the timber lands Of seven town
ships, are constructing an enormous
endless chain worked by forty horse
power engines, to convey their logs
over two Thousand five hundred feet Of
decline to the waters of Carry, brook,
by which they are to be swept into
Moosehead Lake, and eventually reach
the mills at Gardiner by way Of the
Kennebec The chain begins ut the
edge of dam which has been formed
across the Penobscot at Seboomook.
Here the logs are collected. The chain
is of steel, with links . foot long.
Every eight feet there is q ''chair. or
bar running across the chain, and
ON either end Of the bar are iron stand
ards to hold the log in place. The
chain runs in trough, and the log
rests on the chain and is held in place
by the iron standards. The motor
power will be two forty-horse-power
engines. One will be located In the
center, and one at the further end OF
the stretch, and it is believed that the
chain will move at the rate OF two
hundred feet a minute. While this
system of handling lumber is by no
means novel, speeding an endless chain
at any such rate is new. but compe-
tent engineers pronounce it possible.
It is expected that it will carry eight
thousand pieces, or one million feet,
every twenty-four hours. II is esti-
mated that it will cost not far from
twenty-five cents per thousand 10 carry

A WOMAN OF THE WORLD.

She had been talking pleasantly to
two or three women; she had made her
good-byes all cheerful and bright, and,
after she had disappeared, one woman
turned to another and said in tone
that was soothing: "Shs is . thorough
woman of the world" Now in this
case the woman who had said none but
pleasant words, who had stopped by q
bright story the discussion of petty
scandal. was woman who was rs
brave-hearted as any that ever lived
and who bore, not only her own, but
the burdens of good many other
people, yet she saw no reason why she
should intlict her troubles on her
friends, nor why, while she was In the

sense o woman of the world.

feels that the story told to hurt your
feelings is essentially bad form.
A woman of the world is the one who
is courteous to old people, who laughs
with the young and who makes herself
agree to all women in all conditions
of life.
A woman of the world Is one who
makes her good-morning a pleasant
greeting, her visit bright spot in the
day and her good-by hope that she
may come again.
A woman of the world is one who
does not gauge people by their clothes,

A woman Of the world is one who

the best type of a Christian, for her
very consideration makes other women
long to initiate her. Remember that
Christ came into the world to save sin

do your work as a woman Of the world
means more than speaking from plat

A woman of the world is one who ID
courteous under all circumstances and
in every condition in which she may be
placed. She is the woman who can re-
ceive the unwelcome guest with a smile
SO bright and handshake SO cordial
that in trying to make the welcome
seem real it becomes SO. A woman of

THE KINDS OF INSECTS.
3ome Scientific Information on Beetles
aud bugs. f..

Some Scientific Information ON Beetles
and Bugs. fs@i.
The great majority Of persons have
no idea of the numerous and singular
forms of insects. They are all called
"bugs" by most people, yet not one
tenth Of their number are really bugs.
These latter are classcd by themselves
and are called Hemipsera. Beetles are
not bugs, being totally different things
and form what are known as the Cole
optera, which means sheathwing, be-
cause of the two large plates on the
back that cover the true wings, which
consist of thin membrane. These COW
ers are called elytra. The butterflies
and moths form another one OF these
,rders, being called Lepidoptera, or
scale-wing, on account of the tiny
scales with which the wings are COW
cred. No doubt many of the readers
of this article have noticed the pow
derry substance which comes off but
terfly or moth on handling 1t. These
are the scales, and, should any reader
possess q microscope and place the
wing or part OF one under it, l think
he will be repaid for his trouble. The
dragon fiies'' and ''devirs needles
form the order Neuroptera, which
means vein-winged. So It is with the
fies and the bees, wasps and ants, the
dies being called Diptcra, !. e., two
winged, and the bees, wasps and ants,
Hymenoptera, or membrane wing. 1t
will probably be said by some that
ants have no wings; but this is only
the case with what Ore called neuters,
or workers, the males and females
being provided with wings. The total
number Of different kinds of insects
that are known at present is over two
hundred thousand, of which beetles
alone number one hundred and twenty
.thousand-this being about twice as
many rs all the other known animals
together. 1t is estimated that the
actual number of different kinds Of In
sects in the world Is over one million.
