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 riskiny the loss of their
labor and the sue essful one merely sell ng
his for the amount of the prize. But the
Press Claims Company's offer is something
entirely different, Each person is asked
merely to help himself, and the one who
helps himself to tn best advantage is to be
rewarded for dom it. The prize is only a
stimulus to do something that would be
well worth doing without it. The architect
whose competitive plan for q club house on q
certain corner is not accep led has not spent
his labor on something of very little use to
him.. But the person who patent a simple and
Iseful d svice 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 tn At 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 II Only from the theoretical point of
view. Get rid of tina idea that au imorove-
ment can be too simp,e TO be worth patenting.
The simpler the better. The person VINO best
succeeds In combining simplicity and popu-
lar rty, will get theNPEess Claims Company's
twenty-five huDdred 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.

GRAND OPERA HOUSE.
Work of Renovation for the Coming
Season Commenced.

|
Work of Renovation for the Coming
Season Commenced.
AS announced in yesterdays
LIGHT the scenic artists who are to
put the Grand opera house in trim
for the best run of attractions
ever presented a San An
tonic audience, have COM
menced operations. Frank Cox, of
New Orleans, with a corps of assis-
tants is at work and will not drop
his brush until the whole interior
is redecorated. There will be an
entire change of scenery through
out with additional curtains, in
Guiding two drop curtains that will
be artistic beauties. The entire
house will be newly frescoed, car
peted and lighted with incan-
descent lights. The seats will
be remembered so as. to ia
cilltate seating and prevent mis-
takes. With the changes proposed
and now being effected the whole
interior will be transformed, pre-
senting to the eye an entire
change from the present aspect,
which, delightful as it was when
new and fresh, has become dull
ed by years and monoto-
onOus through familiarity. All
will be in readiness for the opening
on September LIST, which will
usher in a season of better attrac-
lions than have ever been present
ed to a San Antonio audience.
The bookings already made insure
this and the present lessees of the
house have the taste and spirit to
carry out their original design and
give this city a season of dramatic
entertainments that will leave
nothing to be desired.
One change which the public
will appreciate will be the removal
of the box office during the day
and until I p. m. from its present
position in the rear of the arcade
to just within the doors of the
plaza entrance, thus saving
the long walk down the
arcade and back to those purchas-
ing tickets. After Z o'clock the box
office will open in the old place. 1t
really does seem that the city is to
be favored with a winter of dra-
matte attractions that will be a
credit to the management and a
source of genuine pleasure to the
lovers of good drama.

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 a natural genius. like Edi
son or Bel; that he must devote years to
delving I'm complicated mechanical problems
and that he must spent a fortune on delicate
experiments before he can get a 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 a clear COM
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 or all his marvellous inven-
tons have not been stuff Client to pay the cost
of his experiments. But the man who con-
ceived the idea of fastning a bit of rubber
cord to a child's ball, go that il would come
back 10 the hand when thrown, made a fortune
out of his scheme. The modern sewing-ma-
chine is a miracle of ngenuity-the product of
the toll of hundreds OF busy brains through a
hundred and iftyryears, but the whole bril-
liant result rests upon the simple device of
putting the eye OF the needle at the point in
otaol ~ at tho o.la.--

Thu Little Things The Most Valuable.

Comparatively few people regard them
sci YES as inventors, but almost everybody
has been struck, at one time or another,
wit III ideas that seemed calculated to reduce
some of thellittle 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
Town without breaking the passengers
backs?" eXclaims the traveller. IF l were
running the road l wou make them in such
a way"
what was the man that made this sauce

never nd TO work over a stove or he would
navs know n how it ought to nave been fixed"
Hang such q collar b%nttou!" growls the
man who is late for breakfast. "Ifl were in
the business I'd make buttons that wouldn't
slip out, or break of, or gouge out the back
OF my neck"
And then the various sufferers forgot about
their grievarc es AMI 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
