IMPRAcTiCkBLE IDEAS
Developed at Washington by Pa
pers Filed by Inventors.

New York Sun.
Patent attorneys scientists and
others who are supposed to be autflori-
ties on technical and mechanical sub
jects complain that thsy are the espe-
cial prey of ignorant, would-be invent
ors, who come to them with half-formed
ideas, which they are expected to buy
and work up. To one VINO has sense of
humor, however, the yictimizing proc
ess is not often without it's con-
pensations. One patent expert has
culled several entertaining examples
of peculiar suggestions from long list
of such things. The ideas were all
set forth in perfectly good faith by the
persons who origina ted them. Some,
he says, would actually be operative
although they would be Of no use in
any case, and others would not work at
all. An instance of the latter case is
a tunnel beneath the street, the con-
veyer to be moved by the wheels of the
street cars on the surface Of the road
way. To the wheels of the cars were
to be attached cogwheels large enough
for the cogs to pass through a Slot and
engage in a notched rail beneath, slid
the under side of this rail the packages
were to be attached.
The idea was that the forward motion
of the car would drive the notched rail-
along the tunnel in the opposite dir5 c.
tion carrying the package with it. As
a matter of fact, the rail would re-
main stationary. The inventor forget,
or did not know, that the point CT d

wheel touching the track at any given
instant, is as fixed, during that in
slant, as the roadway itself.
Another queer idea in vehicles is
cart carrying its own road, so to speak.
Around each wheel is fastened q frame
consisting of five narrow trougils,
hinged together at their ends. The
loea Is that as the cart proceeds on it's
way the wheels will roll in the trough
instead of on the surface of the road.
The originator of the scheme provides
no means OF passing smoothly from one
trough to the next, and the result is
much the same as though the cart had
five-cornered wheels.
Another inventor has devised a street
for pedestrians only, designed to mako
walking unnecessary. and roller skat-
ing, 1ntersperssd with a little stair
climbing, universal.
Instead of being level, the street was
TO be made to slopa from one end of the
oleck to the other. Then comes a
night of steps leading up to the original
IeVel, then another slope, and so on.
PERSONS using such streets are sup
posed TO provide themselves with roller
skates and simply coast down the slope
and walk up the steps.
Perhaps the inventor suggests a, silk
hat, with a spring arrangement in the
top. If a brick, for instance, should
fall on~the hat the spring would be re-
LEASED and the brick would Immediately
be dislodged.
Perhaps the queerest scheme that has
ben seriously proposed is that of
railway track laid on the roof of
train, the rear car sloping to the road
bed so that in case of rear-end col
ision the colliding locomotive will run
upon top of the cars in front instead of
crashing into them.

STRONG AND MERCIFUL
Should Be the True Christian,
Says Rev. Mr.. Cotton.

Rev. Robert Hammond Cotton
preached at st. James church yester-
day morning fl ON the text BE ye
therefore merciful' st. Luke, vi, Sc:
"Our Father shows His Perfection"
said the preacher, by being merciful.
and we are to do the same. BE ye
therefore merciful as your Father also
is merciful." We who would be, or
should be, perfect, must never forget
that we shall be treated as we treat
others. Measure for measure is a.
law Of things which cannot be evaded.
For with the same measure that We
mete withal, it shall be measured to
you again. Therefore, Judge not, and
We shall not be judged; condemn not,
and We shall not be condemned; forgive.
and We shall be forgiven; give, and it
shall be given unto you" Let us
never forget that we are imperfect yet.
Can the blind lead the blind? Shall
they not both fall into the ditch %
We who would judge, Or set up a
standard for others, can r2ver forget,
if we are right-minded, how far We our
selves fall short. There is a beam in
our own eye which must first be cast
out before we can see clearly to pull
out the mote that is in our brothers
eye. THE disciple is not above his
Master; but every one that is perfect
shall be as his Master The plying,
loving Christ to whom all judgment
has been committed, submits to be
judged-aye, and even to be misjudged-
rather than to Judge; and how can we
call ourselves His disciples if we fail
to show that in all respects wherein we
possess His power to save we do not
manifest His love and tenderness? All
around look to US, if not for moral per-
lection, at least least for mercy. The
Lord Christ has made us powerful
strong with the might of His salvation.
But mercy becomes
1.-The throned monarch better than His
crown;
His scepter shows the force of tempo
raj power,
The attribute to awe and majesty,
Wherein doth sit the dread and fear of
kings;
But mercy is above the sceptered sway;
1t is enthroned in the hearts of kings,
1t is attribute to God Himself;
And earthly power doth then shew
likeSt God,
When mercy seasons Justice
We do pray for mercy;
And that same prayer doth teach us all
to render
The deeds of mercy"
Our God has made US strong with his
own strength. May He make us merci-
full with His own mercy.

POOR NEED NOT FAST.
Another Decree Said to Have Been
Made by the Pope.

Another Decree Said to Have Been
Made by the Pope.
NEW YORK, July 7.-Rev. Father
Ducey is authority for the statement
that the pope has promulgated a de-
cree absolving poor people and work
ing people from the observance of all
days of abstinence in the year except
Fridays, even during Lent. rumor
that such a decree was in existence
has been in circulation for some time,
and Father Ducey says that the docu-
ment has been Forwarded to the bish-
ops of the United States, and has been
promulgated in the West
Speaking of the decree, Father Du-
cey said: Many of the ecclesia stistics
in this country have felt for years
that the burden of denial placed on
the shoulders and conscience of the
struggling and working poor was more
than hardship, almost a martyrdom
Il have not seen the official docu-
ment sent TO the bishops of the United
States, but this information came to
me about two months ago from Q
most trustworthy Roman Catholic
correspondent. 1t has seemed to me
for years that this legislati ton in favor
of Gods hardWorking poor was most
necessary. What a hardship to ask of
men and women whose fare is al
ways meager, doubtful and that are
certain to practice a denial that robs
them of their strength and units them
for the proper discharge of their du-
ties and labor. when the comfortable,
the well-to-do and the rich and luxu-
rious feasting sumptuoesly every day,
find fault. as 1 have known them to do,
with the hardships of the holy season
of Lent"
Father Lovelle, of the archbishop's
residence, says that the rumor is alb
surd and was manufactured in New
York.

LINEN FOR LINERS.
No Laundries on Board the Great
Transatlantic Steamers.


Philadelphia Record
There are no laundries on board
ship; they take up too much room.
So the chief steward lays in thou
sands of pillow slips, sheets and
towels. These come Oh board tied I'D
in bales Of a dozen each, and are
stored in the linen locker, a cubby-
hole of a place on the main deck.
The ventilator pipes from the engine
room run through it and keep it
hot.
There is no danger OF linen getting
mildewed there. The linen which has
been used is thrown into another
room, provided with the same at
mosphere, and is SO kept thoroughly
dry. Where there are clean napkins
every day, frequent changes of state
room linen and an everlasting re-
plenishing of towel racks, the de-
mands upon the locker are very eX-
tenSive.
A liner like the New York puts to
sea with about 5000 serviettes, 10000
towels, 5000 or 1000 sheets, 5000
pillows slips and about 1000 table
cloths. Most of these find their way
to the soiled linen locker in the
course of TIE voyage. When the
vessel arrives they are carted off to
a laundry.

QUEER ANIMALS
come From the Tropics in n
Bunch of Bananas.
Chicago Inter-Ocean.

Chicago 1nter-Ocean.
somewhere down in the tropics a
lew months ago a family of sig
modonts took up its abode in a bunch
OF bananas. In the course of time
the bunch of fruit was picked and
shipped to Chicago before the little
creatures had an opportunity to give
up their lease. A Mr.. Kaufman q
@flghtWood avenue grocer, bought
the cluster of fruit, and yesterday,
When he went to cut a dozen bananas
Tor a customer he found the nest.
Besides the mother there were six
baby sigmodonts.
When they were disturbed the Iit-
tie ones jumped on the back of the
parent and chung for protection to
her fur with their little hand-like
feet, and further secured themselves
by turning their own tails around
that or the mother. Unfortunately
in the excitement of the discovery
the mother and five of the little ones
We're killed. The other one was
rescued by Mrs. DR.. Tomagin, who
was in the store at the time, and it
is now at her home, No. 1884 Wright
wood avenue, thriving on a fare of
bananas.
banana rats, crabs, scorpions and
tarantulas are frequently found hid
ing among bananas received in Chi
cago; their appearance has ceased to
cause comment, but the advent of
this new immigrant has aroused
quite an interest on South Water
street, and general regret is ex-
pressed that the parent and young
ones were not preserved alive.
Fred Black, a man who is familiar
with the names of tropical animals,
says there is no doubt that the little
creatures are sigmodonts, a species
found in Jamaica and Mexico.

WHERE IS THE REAL CARLSON
Man who Is Believed to BE His
Murderer Under Arrest.

Special to the Globe.
PIERRE, S. D., July IA man Civ
ing the name of Nels Carlson was ar
rested at Miller yesterday and brought
to Pierre this morning as a suspected
murderer. NelS Carlson was here last
fall with bunch of horses, and this
spring wrote parties here that he
would arrive again about the 1st of
July. About ten days ago the party
now under arrest arrived at Fort Pierre
with horses, and gave his name as
Nels Carlson. He sold tie horses at a
very low price and started east, repre-
senting himself as Carlson in business
transactions at towns east of here
While at Fort Pierre he gave away d
coat and vest which were toe small for
him, and in one of the pockets was a
letter relating to transactions of the
real Carlson while here. The arrested
man tells many conflicting stories. The
case appears much like a similar one
near here six years ago, when Red
mond killed Duncan, of Baker City,
Or, and took his stock.
