SOME of the patents of the Bell
Telephone Company were not issued
in this country until 1893, but they
were granted in European countries
for the same inventions in 1877. AS
a consequence of a law OF Congress
requiring patents to expire in this
country as soon as their term is run
in any other, these patents will be-
come open to the public next year
unless this law is repealed. A strong
effort was made to repeal this law at
the last session of Congress, but
though it was tried five times each
attempt failed. If we are to be sub
jected to foreign competition, we
ought to have the advantage of every
labor-saving machine just as soon as
it's patent expires in any other coun-
try. The patent creates monopoly
here. This is only tolerable SO long
as our competitors in manufacturing
are subjected to the same hindrances
as we are.

THE German Society for colonizing
Jewish peasants and engaging them
in farming in Palestine and Syria has
proved great success. There are
twenty-four farming settlements, cul-
tivating so, 900 acres of land, and
with population OF 5000. These
are all now self-supporting. Other
colonies of Russian Jews are to be
established, embracing many who are
now employed as laborers in and near
Jerusalem. One of the objects of
the society is to prevent the emigra-
tiOn of Jews to other countries, as
they are driven from Russia and Ger
many by the despotism Of their gov
ernments and the inhumanity of
their people. When Jews come to
this country comparatively few of
them engage in farming. 1t would
be better for more Of them if they
went to the country instead of seek
ing work in cities.

The world has been surprised Of
late with the many wonderful pieces
of mechanism in the watch industry.
The Theological expert, Mr.. Potter,
has in his possession some marvellous
movements which repeat the hours,
half and quarter hours, and the min
utes with scrupulous exactness.
Among these valuable curiosities is
one watch, for instance, which is not
only a minute repeater but combines
with it also what is called split
second horse-timer, and miniature
perpetual calendar, which shows also
the different faces Of the moon. On
one Of the dialS it takes the hand
four years to go around. 1t has five
hand settlers and forty-six ruby Jew
els. This timepiece will cost tie
purchaser $1,100. Mr.. Potter also
displays what is known as a pedome-
ter, which is a winding move
ment contained in q square case, the
motion Of the body in walking wind
ing the watch. Miniature barometers
and thermometers have also been in
serted In the watches, but not in the
higher-priced articles, as they have
not proven successful, the heat and
motion of the body interfering with
the chemical operations of the little
instruments.
To make a little watch talk has
undoubtedly been beyond the most
sanguine expectations OF inventors.

A RECENT number of Transports
ton contains an elaborate article on
aerial navigation by Dr. Edward
Pynchon, OF Chicago. Dr. Pynchon
has flying machine--in his mind.
He proposes to fly 200 miles an hour
by exploding nitrogelatine cartridges
by an electric current. He thinks
that the explosion of two two-ounce
nitrogelatine cartridges every five
seconds would kick his machine
through space at uniform rate of
200 miles an hour at a total cost Of
40 cents per mile for propulsion. He
thinks one OF his machines ought to
skim across the Atlantic in less than
two days, carrying 1900 pounds of
nitrogelatine, fifteen passengers, a
crew of ten men and the necessary
equipment and baggage. DR.. Pynchon
is a Chicago man and that fact alone
should entitle his theories to con-
sideration. He Is also man who
has attaiden some eminencs in his
profession and stands well among
those who know him as an original
investigator. But whenever he gets
ready to go sailing to Europe In q
nightmare loaded with ton and a
half of nitrogelatine we would like
to pick out his. crow and his guests
from. among our delinquent sub
scribers.

Pacific Ocean, q distance of about
700 miles. The commissioners are
Col. Barlow, United States army;
Lieut. Gaillard, United States army,
and Mr.. Mossman, OF the United
States coast aud geodetic survey.
Their staff OF engineers, soldiers and
laborers numbers about eighty. For
two years and half this party has
been in the field erecting the monu-
ments and resurveying the boundary
line, which was originally established
by Commissioner Emery from l849 to
1853.
The fifty-two monuments then
erected have been supplemented by
206 more, which are for the most
part plain iron shafts on rock and
cement foundations. BY agreement
with Mexico any errors discovered in
the original survey by the present
commissioners shall not be corrected,
so far as ownership of territory is
concerned. Few errors have been
found in the first survey. The larg-
est was along the New Mexico bound
airy, where Uncle Sam gains nearly
forty square miles of land, which the
new survey shows to be in Mexico.
Much of the tripof the commission
was through Arizona deserts. At
times 1T cost 25 cents a gallon for

A VERY interesting case in insur-
ance was presented in Chicago re-
Gently. The manager of one Of the
larger companies received proof of
loss from an agent in nearby town
for sulky pillow which was destroyed
in fire in a blacksmith shop. The
owner of the pillow carried insurance
on his farm machinery, but the pol
icy was written to cover it on his
farm mile away. Some repairs
were found necessary and the pillow
was taken to the blacksmith shop,
where it was when the fire destroyed
the shop and the pillow. The owner
made claim for indemnity on the
ground the repairs to the pillow were
necessary and asked to be reimbursed
for its value. The case Is similar to
one which came up in Milwaukee
some time ago. A woman who car
ried insurance on all her household
effects sent sealskin jacket to fur
rier to be repaired. Fire destroyed
the shop and the woman asked to be
recompensed for loss. When this
case came before the courts, as it did,
the Supreme Court Of Wisconsin de-
cided the insurance company was
responsible for the loss, on the ground
that the repairs were necessary to
the garment, that the taking of it to
the store did not release the insur-
ance company from liability. The
policy under which this decision was
rendered contained clause lnsuring
the property contained in said
dwelling" The decision caused a
change in the wording of the policies,
which now read @while contained in
said dwelling" 1t would be well for
every one to read their policies care
fully and watch for new clauses

WE are accustomed to regard the
japanese as little better than half
civilized, even though recent treaties
with the great powers have placed
her on an equal footing with them.
But there are many ways in which
her people are eminently superior to
the average American, who might
profltably copy the example Of the
japanese workman, who bathes his
whole body once day, and some
times twice. Public baths are pro-
vided on every street, which are fed
by constant current Of cold and hot
water. The bather plunges in, re-
mains immersed some ten minutes,
then comes out and receives a warn
douche of fresh water.

AMERICAN dentists are in demand
all over Europe for the melancholy
reason that Americans have the
worst teeth in the world. The need
of preserving American teeth against
decay due to bad dietary habits has
developed dentistry in the United
States to a high degree of skill.
Europeans, who do not drink iced
water first and eat the hottest of
pastry Immediately afterward, have
not afforded the teeth members Of
their respective countries equal op-
portunity for progress, and they are
compelled to seek the services of
American dentists who have numer-
Ously and successfully sought Euro
pean openings. Russia has at last
put up bar. No professional man
can obtain a license in Russia
unless he has passed an examination
in Russian. French used to be a
satisfactory alternative language.
But French itself has been put
under ban because French doctors
were becoming as numerous there
as American dentists.

Profted by the Blunder.

Ordinarily speaking it is not easy
to get two pairs of shoes for the
price of one, not even il the swell
goes of his own thoroughfare and de-
scends to Eighth avenue or the Bow
cry. Simply enough, the other day,
however, this transaction was accom-
plished by a member of the smart
set who goes to an equally smart shoe
maker in Broadway.
He selected divinely pointed pair
Of patent feathers and had the right
shoe tried on. 1t fitted perfectly and
the pair were sent home. They were
donned in hurry, and the first
weather they encountered turned out
sloppy. The left boot wasn't uncom-
Portable, but felt differently from the
right, and, being examined en- return,
proved to be not a match. They
were the same make of shoe, but the
right had five buttons, the left six,
and the left had not such an exagger-
atedly pointed toe as the right.
you'll take the second pair, of
course, sir" said the shoe-dealer, on
being confronted with the pair OF
mistakes.
"Not exactly" replied the son Of
finance, who saw capital deal in the
mishap "You'll refund the money
for these you stuck me with. Good
looking object you made of me-"
you can have the two, SIR" con-
cluded the man ruefully, seeing half
aloaf was better than no bread, and
that he ran the chance of losing a
customer otherwise.
And the man about town took them.
