PRIZES ON PATENTS.
How to Got Twenty-Five Hun
dred pillars for Nothing
The Winner has a Clear Gift of a
Small Fortune, and the Losers
Have Patents that may.
Bring them in Still
More,

Would you like to make twenty-five hun
dollars? If You would, read carefully what
follows and you may see q way to do 1t.
The Press Claims Company devotes much
attention to patents. 1t has handled thous-
ands Of applications for inventions, but 1T
would like to handle thousands more. There
is plenty of Inventive talent at large i'll this
country, needing nothing but encouragement
to produce practical results. That encourage
ment the Press Claims Company proposes to
give.
NOT SO HARD AS IT SEEMS.
A patent strikes most people as an APP
pallingly formidable thing. Tho idea is that
an inventor must be a natural genius, like
Edison or Bell that he must devote years to
delving in complicated mechanical problems
and that he must spend a fortune on delicate
experiments before he can get a new device
to q patentable degree of perfection. This
delusiou the company desires to dlspei. Ii
desires to get into the head of the public 4
clear comprehension of the fact that 1T Is not
the great, complex, and expensive inventions
that bring the best returns to their authors
but the little, simple ana cheap oneS-the
things that seem so absurdfy trivial that the
average citizen 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 on all his marvellous lltVen-
tions have not been sufficient to pay the cost
of his experiments. But the man who con-
ceived the idea of fastening a bit of rubber
cord to a child's ball, so that it would come
hack to the hand when thrown, made q tor
tune out of his scheme. The modern sewing
machine is Il miracle of ingenuity-the pro
duct OF the toll of hundreds of busy brains
through a hundred and fifty years, but the
whole brilliant result rest upon the simple
device of putting the eye of the needle at the
Doint instead of at the other end.

A new solution of the silver question has

hankering after gold and silver is largely ira.
ditional," he says. People allow themselves
to be governed by the old ideas on the subject
of coinage formulated at a time when nation
al credits did not exist and currency would
only be taken at an intrinsic value. What
we need is a new standard of value. l think
that the best dollar could be made out OF
compressed wheat. You take a bushel OF
wheat and squeeze the water out of it and
then compress it into a hard cake, the size of
a silver dollar, and stamp the government
mark upon it. That would represent actual
value and labor performed, and then you
can eat your dollar, for when you wanted to
use the wheat all that would be necessary
would be TO put y.nr money to soak"

Perhaps some of our readers like to know
in what respect Chamberlain's Cough Rene
dy is better than any other. We will tell
you, When the Remedy is taken as soon as
u cold has been contracted, and before it has
become settled in the system, it will counter
act the effect of the cold and greatly lessen
it's severity, aud it is the only remedy that will
do this. 1t acts in perft ct harmony with ma
lure and aids nature in relieving the lungs,
opening the secreIions, liqnefying the mueus
and causing its expulsion from the air cells of
the lungs aud resto, ing the system to Il strong
and healthy condition. No other remedy in
the market possesses these remarkable prop
critics. No other will cure a cold so quickly.

THE LITTLE THINGS THE MOST VALU-
ABLE.

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 the little ~frictions of life. Usually such
ideas are dismissed without farther thought.
"Why don't the railroad company make its
car windows 80 that they can be slid up and
down without breaking The passengers
backs2" exclaims the traveller. If | were
running the road | would make them in such
a way"
What was the man that made this sauce
pan thinking of?n 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 button growls the
man who is late for breakfast. eff | were i'll
the business I'd make buttons that wouldn't
slip out, or break off, or gouge out the back
of my neck"
And then the various sufferers forget about
their grievances 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 fiud themselves as
Independently wealthy as the man who in
vented the iron umbrella ring, or the one
who patented the fifteen puzzle.

A TEMPTING OFFER

To induce people to keep track Of their
bright ideas and see what there is in them,
the Press Claims Company has resolved to
offer a prize.
To the person who submits to it the
simplest and most promising inven-
ton, from a commercial point of view,
the company will give twenty-five
hundred dollars in cash, in addition to
refunding the fees for securing the
patent.
It will also sdvertise the invention
free of charge.
This offer is subject to the following condl
tions:
Every competitor must obtain q patent for
his invention through the company. He must
first apply for preliminary search, the cost Of
which will be five dollars. Should this search
show his invention to be unpatentable, he can
withdraw without further expense. Other
wise he will be expected to complete his ap-
plication and take out a patent in the regular
way. The total expense, including Govern
ment and Bureau fees, will be seventy dol
lars. For this, whether he secures the prize
or not, the inventor will have a patent that
ought to be q valuable property to him. The
prize will be awarded by a jury consisting of
three reputable attorneys of Washington.
Intending competitors should fill out the fol-
lowing blank, aud forward it with their appli-
cation:

the residue falls into Z pft, where
everything mineral sinks to the bot

In steady job for fair wages. The
average cost of producing one ton of
ore varies from so cents to o., and
the cost Of extracting the gold from
the ore runs from 81 to SO. This
brings the cost of mining to from
Sl.5O to IS per ton, which experts say
Is fair average, though the cost

Gold In This Country.
California is the great gold field Of
the continent. Last year there was
mined in this State S12, 1900. An
interesting feature of the latter-day
mining in California is the extent to
which the Chinese are getting into
the business. Last year they mined
81, 134,757. This was taken out of
placers in sums of from SO to $50, 900.
The bulk of the American produc-
tion outside of California comes from
Colorado, Montana, Nevada, and Da-
kota. Idaho, Arizona, New Mexico,
Oregon, Washington, and Alaska fol-
low closely in about the order named.
Gold Is produced. however, in nearly
every State and Territory in the
Union. The States along the Ap-
palachian range are mining consider
able gold. Last year South Carolina
produced $123, 1854, Georgia s94, 1913,
North Carolina S78, $50, and Virginia
IS, O02. Maryland produced but ST.
900, but the year before had 31l 900
set down to her credit.
New and improved methods of
mining which have been introduced
int" these mines within the last year
will materially increase their produc-
ton, as it will make profitable many
mines which had been closed, not
because they were exhausted, but
because 1t did not pay to work them.
Texas, Maine and Michigan all have
gold, but not in paying quantities.

A Blight ON the HONEYMOON,

The slush in Fulton street was
ankle-deep, but they didn't seem to
notice It, 1t was raining with all
the ingenuity of a March storm, but
they had no umbrella, and as they
stood arm-in-arm at Broadway and
Fulton streets, they looked as ii they
had been married about ten minutes.
He was a thin young man, with a
brown derby hat and a slightly
troubled look. She was young and
pretty, and she wore pair Of white
kid shoes, and big white hat with
mink roses all over it and she was too
hlppy to think of the weather.
"Oh, William" she whispered, as
she nestled closer to the thin young
man, isn't it glorious to be alone
together, darling. in great city,"
The thin young man made no re-
ply. The rainwater was dripping
from his brown derby-like medicine
out of patent dropper.
"All alone" she continued, gazing
blissfully at the tower on the West
ern Union Building, and, getting
frmer grip on the thin young mans
right arm, "home and friends far
away, and though the multitude is
surging around us. we two are alone
together, dearest, and its me and you
against the world; amt it, William?"
William made no response. He
shook some of the rainwater off his
brown soggy derby, and then he said:
Let's go back to the hotel, Martha,
