Machine Belts of Paper.

Paper betting for the purpose Of
transmitting power is the next thing
which is going to astonish the manu-
featuring fraternity. The inventor
was five years assistant to the superin-
tendent of power of one of the great
factories in Lowell, Mass. 1t was
while in this position, in which he had
much to do with lacing and Tightening
belts, that he conceived the idea that
betting made of paper could be made
to do better work than either leather,
rubber or cotton. He argued that,
as thick piece of pasteboard can
be made to take on firm, smooth and
durable surface by holding the same
against another moving surface for
several minutes, q larger piece of pa
per made in the form of belt and per-
mitted to run upon the surface of a
pulley day after day would soon create
upon its surface n firm, hard, shining
coating that would last long time.
In making the belt links made from
paper pulp are used. As soon as belt
is put into working order hard, shin
ing coating appears upon the surface
next the pulleys, and this becomes
harder md harder as the months slip
by. 1t becomes so hard finally that
only the cold chisel can cut into it.
Such a surface works well on the pull

WAR OUTGROWN.
Anglo-Saxons Arc Learning to Disseminat
Their Ideas in Peace.

Anglo-Saxons Arc Learning to Disseminate
Their Ideas in Peace.
The great and fatal argument against
war is that it does not pay. There was
a time when the force of this plea was
not generally recognized. The me-
dieval spirit, with its chivalry and love
of glory. survived long after the bodies
of the old barons had turned to dust
and their swords to rust. Passions were
fierce, traditions strong, popular rights
in embryonic feebleness. The hope of
conquest, the quarrels of dynasties, re-
ligious differences, all tended to OBJ
scure the dawn of the coming era-the
era of common sense, which balances
the good and the bad of any given
course and adopts the more expedient.
Did not Louis Napoleon, when emperor
of the French, once boastfully proclaim
that the French nation was the only
Perhaps he was right. Alas. many
thousand lives. many millions in money,
mutilated territory, and national
pride most bitterly hunt led eloquent
ly attest that the mitrailleuse and the
chassepot may not be safely trusted to
disseminate ideas. however noble and
however useful to mankind. But the
Anglo-Saxon race prefers to express
its preferences and to make converts
in other ways: 1t is now in the as
cending period. Its influence upon the
world is vast and growing. The
United States is the leading nation
of hemisphere, and bids fair in
brief period to be the first of the
civilized world in population and gen.
eral prosperity. We have all the ter
ritory that we require, so that wars of
conquest hold out no temptation. Our
government is so free that revolution
would border on the ridiculous. So
far as we may now foresee. there is no
reason to apprehend such aggression
from other nations as to make armed
resistance imperative. The people of
these states have proved their ability
on too many battle-felds to make their
prudence suspicious On the same
principle that tried duellist may re-
fuse to fight because he has shown his
mettle, sword in hand, nations with
honorabl records of brave deeds may
be slow to wrath.-F. E Coudert, in
Harpers Magazine.

cAPRlyi THE SOLDIER.
His Devotion to Duty-His Army Corp
His IueDiratfon.

His Devotion to Duty-IIIs Army Corps
His Inspiration.
It is doubtful whether Won Caprivi
would give up the CHARACTERISTIC with
any deep regret for the Office. Shortly
after his appointment as Prince Bis
marclx's successor, he remarked to a
friend: sit is only because / am sol
dier, aud because it is my duty to obey
my superior officer. that am chancel-
Tor os the empire to-day" Duty i'm
presses one as being the keynote of his
character, while his inspiration was his
army corps. In reply to congratula-
tions upon his maiden speech in the
Reichstag, he said: ''But a soldier is
not an orator. Have you ever thought
of the three men in the world who
must move the hearts and emotions OF
their fellow-men-the preacher. the
poet and the soldier? To the preacher
and the poet are given all the wealth
and power of language; but the SOL
der, he who must move men to the
death before them, has naught but the
words of command" As he spoke his
whole face was lighted with an enthu-
siasm that made it easy to recognize
how such a soldier-leader could inspire
his regiments.
At the beginning Of his chancellor
ship he spoke very little English. but
read it with ease, being especially fond
of George Eliot's novels. Busy as have
been his three years in office he has
found time to devote to the practice OF
speaking English, and has made decid-
ed progress. His knowledge of for
eign lands has been much gained from
books, from men and from a stern
experience.
Once at a dinner when the subject of
uniforms was being discussed, he said:
''Since taking off my little black con-
firmation coat | have worn no other
but that of my uniform, save on one
occasion. when was hidden to hunt
by the old emperor"
"When travelling in foreign lands,
though, how could Won have worn your
uniform?" questioned his neighbor at
table.
With quiet smile he answered.:
-Four times in my life have l been out
of Germany Once | went to Italy on
a special mission when my uniform was
required; once | was summoned to the
deathbed of friend in Switzerland,
and, having TO other clothes, was
given permission to wear my uniform.
Once l went into Austria and once /
went into France-but those were days
when uniforms were not left behind"
Caprivi is not Bismack, but in spite
of the overshadowing fame of his great
predecessor he has filled the office with
strength and ability. Germany may
well be proud of such a man, whose
honesty of purpose none could doubt,
whose ambition was for his country
only, and whose untiring effort has al
ways been to give her faithful service.

YOUNG OR OLD MEN.
The Age at Which Man Ia Best Fitted Il
the Charge OF Affairs.

The Age at Which Man Is Best Fitted for
the Charge of Affairs.
Most great military exploits have
been performed by the young; but
there is not country now where the
sensible would not SILVER if they heard
that an officer of twenty-seven had
been appointed to command an army.
No one in England now would endure
premier of Pitts years; nor would it
be considered quite safe to send
viceroy to India who was not at least
five years older than Lord Dalhousie,
who was thirty-six when he took up
the reins with a grasp which was felt
in six weeks to be at least adequately
strong.
At fifty a man is still young in poll
tics. and, though life is little swifter
in the professions, no one rises to the
top till maturity has well set in. All
patronage rests with the old, and ex-
cept in literature, which is still indie
pendent of the consideration of years,
the old either disbelieve in the judg-
ment of the young, or think. If they
recognize it, that it indicates certain
deficiency in other and more attractive
qualities. The young do not prosper
as they should, and that is n set-off
against the happiness Of any genera
ton, even if it is not one cause of the
revolt against all that has oeen which
marks the hour, and which, if it ex-
tends much deeper, will provide for one
generation, at least, years of acute
misery.
When the young despise arithmetic
because it is in the way of their theo-
ries, something in the nature of an
overturn or, as it is in England, of
violent bolt of the state carriage is
pretty sure to happen. If we were
to consider the young alone we
should say that the new disposition to
stick on to work was perhaps little
selfish, and, certainly as far as the fu-
ture of the world is concerned, ill
judged, the habit of subordination be-
ing, except for the immature, worse
training than independent response
biIity.
We say nothing of the immobility of
the old rs impeding progress. for to
say the truth, we have no firm belief
in it.
1t used to be true, we suppose. in a
sense; but in our time the greatest
risk ever undertaken in politics was
borne by king of seventy-three, and
the widest revolution ever suggested
in British politics was devised by a
statesman of seventy-six. We may let
that consideration wait, but that the
old are more in the way of the young
than they were, is as undeniable as
the fact that thereby the happiness of
large section OF each generation is
grievously impaired-Spectator.

TAKING OUT A PATENT.

= Hints to Inventors who Seriously Thinh
of Doing So.
Persons who are likely to apply for
a patent would do well to cut out and
preserve the following instructions:
N Write to the commissioner OF
patents, Washington. ID. c., requesting
a copy of the RULES of Practice
which he will send free. Then care
fully read from page to page IL,
about the articles which may be patent.
ed, and the form of application and
drawings. In another part of the pam
phlet there are specimen applications
and drawings
(2) Prepare an application in accord.
ance with the rules. make or procure
drawings such as the patent office re-
quires. make oath to your papers and
send to the commissioner of patents
with fifteen dollars. This is the first
government fee. Later, il you receive
notice that a patent will be issued,
then second government fee of TWEEN
ty dollars must be paid.
(3) Some people are able to prepare
their own papers and drawings prop
erly; but those who are not consult a
lawyer and employ draughtsman.
Patent lawyers charges vary according
to the Importance of the case; but they
seldom ask less than twenty or thirty
dollars, and sometimes more, besides
the cost of the drawings.
(4) If an inventor is afraid that some
one will steal his idea before he can
put it in shape he can protect himself
in two ways. First. he can make out
a paper called "Caveat," and send to
the commissioner of patents. This
document briefly describes his inven-
ton, and declares that he has not yet
perfected it. 1t will be good for year,
if no one else has gotten ahead of him;
and it may be renewed for another
year. The caveat is described on pages
SO and So of RULES of Practice" and a
specimen caveat is given further along
in that publication. A fee of ten dol
lars must be paid to Uncle Sam for
each year a caveat is in force. An
other way to guard ones rights
is to tell trusty friend about
the exact nature of the pro-
posed invention, and have that friend
make a record of the date, SO that, IL
necessary, he can swear to it, and
thus prove priority OF invention, if
some one else wrongfully claims the
credit. This plan is as good as any
other.
(5) Some inventors take the precau.
ton to have an expert in Washington
search the patent office files, to discov-
er whether anybody has already pat
ented his idea. Such experts can be
hired for between two dollars and five
dollars.
(6) If a person can not easily raise the
money to pay the government and his
attorney, he can sometimes sell a quar-
ter or half of his right to manufac-
turer or other person for enough to
cover the necessary outlay. In order
to perfect the invention, some expense
for material and experiment is often
incurred; and this, perhaps, can be
met in the same way. If no lawyer or
manufacturer is willing to advance a
cent for this purpose, the inventor may
well doubt the value of his idea. Money
is often wasted by patenting a worth
less article.-N. Y. Tribune.

Pears
Soap

What is wanted of
soap for the skin is to
wash it clean and not
hurt it. Pure soap does
that. This is why we
want pure soap; and,
when we say pure, we
mean without alkali.
Pears is pure; no al
kali in it; no free alkali.
There are a thousand
virtues of soap; this one
is enough. You can trust
a soap that has no biting
alkali in it.
All sorts of stores sell
it, especially druggists;
all sorts of people use it.
