PRIZES ON PATENTS,
How to Get 500 and Perhaps
Make q Fortune.

We secure patents and to induce
people to keep track Of their bright
ideas we offer a prize of one hun
dred dollars to be paid on the first
of every month to the person who
submits to us the most meritorious
invention during the preceding
month. We will also advertise
the invention free Of ebazge in the
"National Recorder" a weukfy
newspaper, published in Washing
ton. b. c.. which has an extensive
circulation throughout the United
STAKES and is devoted to the inter-
ests of inventors.
Nor so HARD AS 1T SEEMS.
The idea of being able to invent
something strikes most people as
being very difficult; this delusion
the Company wishes to dispel. 1t
is the simple things and small in
ventions that make the greatest
amount of money, and the complex
ones are seldom profitable. AL
most everybody, at some time or
another, conceives an idea, which,
if patented, would probably be
worth to him a fortune. Unfortu-
nately such ideas are usually dis
missed without thought. The SIM
ple inventions like the car window
which could be easily slid up and
down without breaking the pas
senger's back, the sauce pan, the
collar button, the nut lock, the
bottle stopper, the snow shovel,
are things that almost everyone
sees some way of improving upon,
and it is these kind of inventions
that bring the greatest returns to
the author.
The prize we offer will be paid
at the end of each month, whether
the application has been acted
upon by the Patent Office or not
Every competitor must apply to-
a patent on his invention through
us, and whether he secures thf
prize or not, the inventor will have
a valuable present.

THE BORE AT MONCTON.
A Curious Tidal Wave That Might Pose as

we had long known that that curious
freak of tho Fundy tides, tho bore or
tidal wave, appears ut Monoton, N. B.
and at Moncton oniy-with every tide,
twice day. AS wo stepped upon tho
wharf ono of us said to tho other, "See,
there comes tho borel'' And there it was,
which VIC were looking, long, white,
level streak, cutting across the river from
bank to bank.
Sighting by houses and trees along tho
shore, we could measure how swiftly it
approached, and in a very few minutes it
needed no such help to SEQ that it came
rolling on with the speed of railway
train, showing tho low, tumbling outline
of broken ROLLER ON the beach. Nearer
and nearer, with sharp, Kissing roar, we
almost held our breath, waiting for tho
moment when 1t should pass beneath our
feet. Ten minutes from tho time we first
saw 1t tho moment came.
Looking down upon it, what we saw was
head of water, as though from broken
dam, stretching straight across tho chan
mel, and rolling, tumbling. foaming as it
raced along. just as great breaker races
up the beach after its fall. Before 1t the
surface of tho river was low, quiet, rip
pling gently downward toward tho sea.
Behind the water level was nearly
three feet higher and coursing up from
the sea with tho speed and fury Of a mini
allure Niagara gorge At tho sides the
foam was brown with mud torn from the
banks, and all theplunging current that
came after was turbid and dark.
We watched that magic white line reced-
ing, twisting and turning as the channel
curved between tho wastes of mud fat
and moment by moment tho level of the
racing flood below us climbed higher on
the piling. A group of boys who had been
playing until the last possible second out
on the flats scattered into trailing lines of
black dots making for the shore. At
last, when the white line had grown quito
indistinguishable in the distance, we
turned away. We had seen the bore
