MOURNEO AS DEAD.
A Missing Man Returns While His Wife Is
Attending His Funeral.

Quite a sensation, if not mysterious
turn, has taken place in the identified
ton of the body found in the canal at
Bridgeport April 9, and the consequent
preparation Of the body for interment
by Mrs. Kate Kurz as that of her hus-
band, Fritz Kurz.
Mrs KurZ, who lives in Philadelphia,
fully identified the body as that of her
husband, describing its personal pecul-
iarities and marks before being permit
ted to see it. She at once ordered an
undertaken to take charge Of the body.
Mrs Kurz, attired in deep mourning,
with three women, came here on Fri
day. The funeral was about starting
from the morgue when a telegram
signed "Waldrick" was received by the
coroner stating Mr.. Kurz is at Mrs.
of the two attending Mrs. Kurz in her
bereavement. The latter could hardly
believe the telegram.
The walnut casket containing the
body was halted in its journey TO the
hearse. Every effort had been made to-
ward giving Mrs. Kurz's husband wor-

sooner was it harnessed than it set off al
full gallop, career which generally
ended in a smash and the immediate
resale of the culprit. But the new pur-

propensity, resolved, as he said, to ''hu

him to a fire engine" The horse soor
found that he was encouraged not only
to bolt at starting, but to keep up the
pace, and in six months was quite ready

Their Verdict.

Many are the stories told of the re-
markable verdicts brought in by ineffi-
cient juries, but there could scarcely be
a better illustration Of what a certain
legal man calls colossal inefficiency"
than the story he tells of the verdict
given by jury in western city. The
case under trial was that Of man who
accidentally, as almost every one be-
heved-had fatally shot friend while
the two We're off with hunting party.
The accused person was a prominent
citizen Of the place and was greatly be-
loved as we'll as respected by every one
who knew him.
As the trial proceeded the faces of
the jurymen were filled with anxiety.
When they at last retired, it became ev-
ident to them that the prisoner could
not be acquitted of all blame, according
to the evidence but they decided that
if he must be considered guilty of some
thing they would make that something
as light as possible Accordingly the
foreman gravely announced on the re-
turn to the courtroom that they found
the prisoner guilty of drunkenness. !"
In spite of the gravity of the case a
ripple of amusement ran over the court.
room at this verdict. The judge, with
considerable severity and with great
clearness, again charged the jury and
again they retired.
A long interval elapsed. AT last they
came struggling in again. Once more

INVENTORS BARRED OUT.
Only Flying Machines That Have Been Per
fected Will Be Patented.

w
We hear a great deal from time to
time in regard to new inventions which
are coming out for the purpose of en-
abling man to fly, either from efforts
Of his own or through the intervention
of steam engines or other motors. 1t is
interesting to note the attitude which
the United States patent Office has taken
in regard to such inventions. They prac-
tically destroy all claims for flying ma
chimes beforehand, and the following is
an abstract from what is practically a
circular letter sent out to all attorneys
who have made application for flying
machine patents. 1t reads as follows:
ION taking up this case for examina-
tion it is found that the invention dis
closed thereby is, as whole, incapable
of practical operation, since without the
assistance Of gas, field or equivalent
the device will be incapable of ascen-
sion. In other words, it is not useful
within the meaning of the law.
mo evidence will be considered suffi-
cient to demonstrate the operativeness
of the device and warrant the with
drawal of the objection made by the Office
except working model-that is, one
with which it is possible to actually as
cend and direct the course of flight at
will.
Thus it is practically useless for any
inventor to make an application for a
patent until he has actually succeeded
in flying. 1t it barely possible that such
stand as this in regard to certain in
ventions would not be amiss, as there
are more impracticable ideas patented
than the world at large have any idea
of. While it may be considered as a
hardship by flying machine inventors
that they are debarred from the protec-
tion of the patent Office, yet until they
have actually produced something which
will accomplish the results claimed
they certainly have no right to overlap
the claim of protection on the patent
Office. e.-Aeronautic
