Forced Draft.

Our cruisers doubtless have as high a
rate of speed as those of Great Britain.
There is no reason to suppose that the re-
suit of the speed trials as given are not
exact. Yet only novice will have the
idea that they will represent the normal
speed on the high seas. Contractors take
care that nothing is omitted to make the
speed all that is possible, with bottoms
perfectly clean, picked coal and the en-
ployment of the most expert fremen,
with forced draft. 1t is well known that
considerable repairs are frequent after
speed trials, from taxing the machinery
and boilers to their utmost, and perhaps
injuries result that do not come to light
for some time.
A forced draft is so destructive to
boilers when inexperienced tiremen are
employed that only few hours steam
ing may seriously impair them. Cap
tain Evans stated that when in command
Of the Baltimore in the Behring sea he
ordered forced draft in order to over
take a vessel before dark. AS result
the boilers had 500 leaky tubes.-North

PATENTS.
NOTICE TO INVENTORS

There was never time in the history OF
our country when the demand for inven-
tons and improvements in the arts and sci
enceS generally was so great as now. The
convenienceS of mankind in the factory
and workshop, the household on the farm,
and in official life, require continual aces
SionS to the appurtenanceS and implements
of each in order to save labor, time aud eX
pense. The political change in the admin
istration of government does not affect the
progress of the American inventor, who be-
ing on the alert and ready to perceive the
existing deficiencies, does not permit the at-
fairs of government to deter HIM from
quickly cOpceiving the remedy to overcome
existing discrepancies. Too great care can
not be exercised in choosing competent
and Skillful attorney to prepare and prose-
cute an application for patent. Valuable
interests have been lost and destroyed in
innumorable instances by the employment
of incompetent counsel, and especially is
this advice applicable to those who adopt
the enc patent, no pay" system. Invent
ors who entrust their business to this class
of attorneys do so at imminent risk, as the
breadth and strength of the patent is never
considered in view of quick endeavor to
get an allowance and obtain the fee then
due. THE PRESS CLAIMS COMPANY,
