~ many eggs got broken on their way
to market by rail. A countryman con-
ceived the plan of packing them in
trays of pasteboa with a separate
compartment in which each egg might
stand upright. The happy thought
was worth a fortune, and such trays are
now universally used. The student Of
patents knows these facts. He permits
his imagination to picture his future as
that of Monte Cristo, and dreams his
life away in the building of air castles
1t is no wonder that for years and
years the patent Office has been in
Tested with cranks. The story of Sir
Henry Bessemer alone is an incentive
to the poor and ambitious young men
who believe that they possess inventive
genius. He came to London a poor
boy from country village. In two
years he was persuing a method Of his
own invention for taking copies of an
tique and modern bas-reliefs in man
ner that ena bled him 20 stamp them on
cardboard, thus turning out an inf
mite number of embossed copies of the
highest works OF art at small cost.
This process, if made known to the I'M
scrupulous, would have opened wide
door to fraud; for by it's means there
was not government stamp nor paper
seal of corporate body which any
common clerk could not forge in few
moments to absolute perfection. The
disclosure of it at that time would
have shattered the whole system of the
British stamp Office. The secret has
been carefully guarded to this day. AT
the period referred to it was reckoned
that the British government lost $780,
600 annually by, the transfer of old
stamps to new deeds and other legal
papers, the tax being thus evaded.
Bessemer invented new system, which
was adopted.by the government, but he
never got even thanks for it. But SO
much wealth and SO May great honors
were showered upon him that he cheer,
fully donated the latter product Of his
brain to his country.
The patent Office library contains the
histories Of successful inventors, and
these books are handled and thunbed

the reflection of the anticipated frui-

about the patent Office and library Is

Strongest of Living Creatures.

"What living creature is possessed Of
the greatest bodily strength in proper
ton to its size?' was question asked
by reader. The answer is as follows;
This honor must be divided between
the Cockchafer, the hive bee and the
flea. 1t is rather difficult TO apply a
test to prove which particular insect
among the borers, the jumpers and car
riers is the strongest, but there is no
question that in proportion to their
size insects undoubtedly possess the
greatest strength among living crea-
lures. The flea can jump foot high,
more than 100 times its own length,
and takisg its average jump as 80 times
it's own length, it is as if a man jumped
as high as the gallery of the monu-
ment.. The spring of the tiger and the
leap of the kangaroo are insignificant
when compared with this. A cock
chatter, is strong enough to lift 24.3
times its own weight, small hive bee
%. 5 times the weight Of itself Judged
by this standard, there is nothing COM
parable to. it among other insects or
among the larger animals, and it may
be safely asserted that these three in
sects divide the honors between them,
for though boring insects pierce the
hardest wood, it is by the wonderful
adaptation of their boring instrument
rather than by abnormal strength

Girl From Boston.

Girl From Boston.
An uptown young man, who is fresh
to degree that surpasses endurance,
and who persists in talking all the time
there is anybody in sight, went out for
the evening one night last week and
met girl from Boston.
Although the young man talks con-
tinually, he occasionally uses some very
bad grammar. One fault is particular
ly glaring. He invariably says: 81
done it" for 81 did it," and, as he is
continually talking about himself, he
makes this mistake many times in the
course of an hour.
He engaged the Boston girl in con-
versation and told her some fairy tale
about something or other that had hap
pened to him. When he got through
she expressed surprise that such thing
could happen, and asked him:
did you really do it?"
81 done it" replied the young man,
proudly. =
Then he branched into another ro-
nance.
This was even more startling than
the first. The girl from Boston lis
tened patiently and, when he had fin
ished, politely exp ressed her great as
constituent. Why" she said, "can il
be possible that you did anything SC
wonderful"
That's what | done,' replied the
young man, chucking out his chest as
no made the remark.
The great success of his two stories
spurred him to further efforts, and he
recited another condensed dime novel
for the benefit of the girl from Boston.
When he had finished the girl said
''Oh, do you know, you remind me SC
strongly of Banquo's ghost?"
You mean the ghost in the Shakes
peare play?" inquired the young man.
