Patents by Women.

Philadelphia Item]
Up to the present date $500 pat
ents have been registered in the
United States Patent Office by
women. Many of these are as curl
Gus as ingenious.
An Ohio matron devised a combi-
nation washing machine and see
saw. 1t consists of rotary clothes
holder, revolved by the action Of the
see saw. The merit of the inven-
ton is supposed to lie in the fact
that a washwoman can save her
own energy and at the same time af-
ford pleasure and recreation to the
children of the nei ghborhood by in
viting them to ''teeter" the machine
inside which the linen to be washed
and a proper complement of soap
and water has been placed,
A fair Philadelphia, IN protest
against the unbecomingness of the
ordinary life preserve1, has design
ed shapely life-preserving corset,
to be worn 'by either men or
women" when a boating accident
is anticipated. One woman wanted
a patent on a crimplng pin, which
could be used also as a paper cutter,
skirt supporter, letter file, chlld's
PIN, bouquet holder, shawl fastener
and bookmark; another woman took
out a parent for a skipping rope,
the handle of which contained a
music box. AS soon as the child be
gan to skip the music started.
A Pennsylvania maiden tried to
convince the public: that, as a rule,
human bodies were not kept at the
proper temperature in the interval
between death and burial and to
emphasize her ideas she took out
patent for corpse cooler. One of
the most novel patents ever issued
was secured by Boston woman on
a device for restoring facial sym
metry. The idea embodied IN the
patent was that if a gentle, contip-
uous, outward pressure were main
tanned on the cheeks from within
the mouth, the full and plump effect
Of the youthful face would, in the
course OF time, be restored. To eff
feet this two disks, mounted on
prongs, were made to press on the
inside of the cheeks by means of a
spring attached to the teeth.
The gem of the collection, how.
ever. is request for patent on
artificial dimples." A small spot
is to be smeared on the cheeks or
chin with colorless shellac varnish,
mixed with glue, and the centre of
the spot IS to be pressed firmly
with pencil point until the
substance on the face becomes dry
and hard. 1.-THE stiffened indenta-
ton thus retains the exact shape of
dimple, and a little face powder
busted carefully over ito will com
pletely conceal the varnish glue
compound"
The person who adopts this willy
device is warned not to .'smile too
suddenly, or the dimple may be
broken, although with gentle usage
it will last a whole evening, if not
longer The specification concludes
with an important reservation.
while the dimple process is appli-
cable to those whose faces com, rise
soft, velvety or plum surface, as
then a very deceptive dimple can be
produced, it is not SO available for
thin or bony faces nor where the
skin is very thick and unyielding.n

NARROW Tires.

For quarter of a century far
sighted men have been protesting
against the use of narrow tires on
wagons designed to carry heavy loads.
They destroy mere road repairing
than all other causes put together,
and common SENSE has been dictat-
ing all these years that the state
should compel the use of broad tires
on wheels of vehicles used for heavy
draught. The cause made slow
progress, but year after Year it was
brought before the Legislature. 1t
is another case of patient walters
who keep on pro esting. At last
something has been done about this
matter, and a law has been passed
allowing towns to require wide tires.
The towns of Russells and Bland
ford, Mass, have been permitted to
take special action which will stop
the fearful cuttingof the road be
tween these places that was for so
long permitted. The town of Plvm-
outh will move more slowly in the
matter. 1t has voted that after the
2st of January, 1899, all draft We
hicles not hung on springs, owned
by residents Of the town, shall be
required to be fitted with tires not
less than three inches in width for
four wheel and not less than fou-
inches for two-wheel vehicles. Now
let other towns follow this wise
example. We shall not have good
rods until they do.-Springfeld
Republican.

The New Army Rifle.
Equity.l

EquliyI
The United States army is being
armed as rapidly as possible with
the new Krag Jorgensen rife. This
terrible weapon shoots a nickle
plated steel bullet of 30-l00 caliber,
or about the diameter of an ordi-
nary lead pencil. But, driven by
smokeless powder, this apparently
insignificant projectile is the most
murderous bullet ever fred out of a
rifle. At 800 yards it will pierce
three inches of wrought steel or
twelve inches Of oak planks. AT
1000 yards il will go entirely through
the body Of a man, protected by the
heaviest clothing. Any vital organ
passed through in its course by this
bullet is torn into snreds, and ii any
arm CIR leg is struck the bone is so
shattered that even amputation is
impossible The high velocity gives
1t terrible explosive character, and
it is believed that in battle the num-
Der of dead to wounded would be
about as four to one, for any wound
inflicted by it would probably be IA
tai. The extreme range Of the weap-
on is $500 yards, as against 1000
yards by the firearms now COM
monty used. Battles fought by op-
posing armies with this rifle would
be fought at artillery range, and at
close quarters the defeated army
would probably be annihilated be
fore it could know that it was
beaten.
The genius of mankind in devils
ing such weapons is wonderful and
yet it is most significant. These
things do not betoken an era of
peace. The army is not being equip
ped in this manner in order to pa
rade upon public holidays. This
murderous weapon is not being
manufactured and distributed a,
great expense, simply for use in
teaching the manual Of arms. The
day of wholesale murder is not yet
