FOR A NEW BUILDING.
Special Meeting of Board Of Trade v i'll
Consider L.

A special meeting of the board of
trade Monday evening may prove one
of the most important ever held by that
body. A special proposition has ben
made by Individuals to construct II
magnificent structure to be known as
the board of trade building.
A committee was at work yesterday
in reference to the matter, and by
Monday will haze considered the mat
ter fully. II the meeting wishes to
have the matter continued, the COM
mittse will be in position to give de-
tailed information on the suhj-ct.
For some time the idea of having n
building of its own was considered by
the board informally and occasionally
in an official way in committee or
meeting. The question of need WAS
always realized but a satisfactory plan
for promulgating the project never
materisliz,d Now, however, the
board ia In a fair way toward acquir-
Ing home OF its own aud the meet
ing will probably attract a generous

The Bulwers.

The Bulwers always have been a puzzle.
Their cultured talent and cleverness in
many departments have rivaled the genius
of other men. We admire their glittering
and elaborate structures, though aware of
something hollow or succeed in the walls,
columns and ceilings and even suspicious
of the floor on which we stand. Father
and son, their love of letters, determine
ton, indomitable industry have command
ed praise. The son, writing in poetry as
naturally as his father wrote in prose, has
the same adroitness, the same unbounded
ambition, the same consciousness in
labor and lack of it in method In his
metaphysical moods we see a reflection of
the clearer Tennysonian thought, and in
deed, while interesting and amusing us, he
always was something of an imitator. His
lyrics were like Browning's dramatic
stanzas; his blank verse appropriated the
breaks and cadences of Tennyson and ven
tured on subjects which the laureate was
long known to have in hand. The better
passages of " Clytemnestra" were taken al
most literally from Aeschylus.-E. c. Sted-
man.

yishnu and the NIaharsjah.

Very few people know what the Dussa-
ra means. 1t is said to commemorate the
residence of the god Vishnu upon earth,
which he takes up for six days only-cu-
riously excluding Sundays-in the person
of the maharajah of Mysore. This is not
such high time for the maharajah as
one would imagine, since he is not allow
ed to speak or shave or eat anything but
plantains and rice during the period Of
his divinity. Let us hope that high think
ing accompanies this low living. A CORE
spondent of The Globe went to see him one
day when thus deified and seems to think
that, on the whole, he did not like it. 1t
is indeed an extreme case of having great
ness thrust upon one. The coming down
to be a mere maharajah again must be
terrible drop-worse than Cincinnatus go
ing back to his plow or a lord mayor to his
commercial business. One ventures to
wonder too, how Vishnu likes it. But
none of these considerations seems to occur
to the inhabitants of Mysore.

PATENTS.
NOTICE TO INVENTORS.

There was never time in the history
of our country when the demand for in
ventiOns and improvements in the arts
and sciences generally was so great as
now. The cOnveniences of mankind in
the factory and workshop, the house
hold, on the farm, and in official life, re-
quire continual accessions to the appur-
tenances and implements of each in or
der TO save labor, time and expense.
The political change in the administra-
ton of government does not affect the
progress Of the American inventor, who
being on the alert, and ready to perceive
the existing DEFICIENCIES, does not per-
nit the affairs of government to deter
him from quickly cOnceiving the rem
edy to overcome existing discrepancies.
Too great care can not be exercised in
choosing a competent and skillful attor-
ney to prepare and prosecute an appli-
cation for patent. Valuable interests
have been lost and destroyed in innu-
merable instances by the employment
of incompetent counsel, and especially
is this advice applicable to those who
adopt the mo patent, no pay" system.
Inventors who entrust their business to
this class of attorneys do so at imminent
risk as the breadth and strength of the
patent is never COnSluereQ IN view OF
quick endeavor to get an allowance and
obtain the fee then due. THE PRESS

A Clever Feat In Chimney Building.

A clever feat in chimney building has
been accomplished at Nancy, France. 1t
was found at spinning works that, ow-
ing to an increase in the power Of the
plant, the existing chimney did not give
sufficient draft for the number of boilers,
and one of two things had to be done
either to build new chimney alongside
the old one or to increase the height of the
latter. While the question was being de-
liberated a local builder offered to add 80
feet to the existing chimney, making
height of 100 feet in all, without interior
ing with the work Of the mills. His offer
was accepted, and aided by another nervy
man he fixed a series of light steel ladders
to the chimney by means of iron hooks
driven in between the courses of the bricks,
erected pulley at the top of the chimney
and fight of scaffolding all around, and
then having lowered the cornice surmount-
ing the chimney, they built onto the top
at the rate of about four feet to five feet
per day. The whole work occupied eight
days and was perfectly successful.

Indians Make Good Herdsmen.

The experiment of making farmers of the
Indians has long been tried, and except in
rare instances has proved a failure The
bucks leave the care Of their farms to the
squaws, while they themselves engage in
the more congenial occupations of hunting
and fishing. But give them herd Of cattle
on range and they will speedily become
familiar with every animal, its disposition
and it's haunts. They require little in
struction or supervision, for nature has en-
dowed them with all the knowledge that
is necessary for the care of focks and herds.

even though he had asked the New York
Yacht club in letter TO change the
course over which the race was to be sail
ed. He complained in his letter Of steam
ers and pleasure craft obstructing .the
course and suggested that the Marblehead
course would be the best course over
which to have the races decided. This
the New York Yacht club refuses to do.
They claim that the course off Sandy
Hook is the best on the Atlantic ooast,
and as most of the races have been sailed
over this course without any interference
from pleasure boats they will make no
change.
Lord Dunraven was greatly disappoint-
ed in not being able to race against the
Vigilant last summer. The sinking OF
the Valkyrio by the Satanita was an un-
fortunate occurrence, as Lord Dunraven
believed that in English waters she was
the Vigllant's superior. The victories Of
the Britannia over the bronze centerboard
more than strengthened his belief that
the Valkyrie was the better of the two
and this is probably one reason why h'
has decided to again challenge for thI
cup.
