PRIZES ON PATENTS.
How to Get twenty-five Hun
dred Dollars for Nothing.
The winner has Clear Gilt Ola
Small Fortune, and the Losers
Have Patents that may
Bring them in still
More.

Would you like to make twenty-five nun ,
dred dollars? lfyou would, read carefully
what follows and you may see way TO 90 H.
THE Press Claims Company devotcs much
attention to patents. 1t has handled thous-
ands of applications for inventions, but II
wou,d like to handle thousands more. There
is nlenty of inventive talent in this country,
needing nothing but II C our ag m en-
to produce practical results. That enco"f'
acemcnt the Press Claims Company pro-
poses TO give.
NOT SO HARD As 1T SEEMs,.,
A patent strikes most people as an appall'
inrly formidable thing. The idea is that an
inventor must be a natural genius, like Edl-
son or Bell that he must put years TO delVlh$
in complicated mechanical problems ana
that he must spend a fortune on delicate eA'
pcrimen,s before he can get new ueVice 10
a pntcntable degree OF perfectlon. lhIs uc'
luslon the company desires TO dlspe!' IL oe
sres to get into the head OF the pupilc cicai
comprehension of the.tact that IL IS nov 'he
great, complex, and expensive Inventions
ihat bring the best returns to their authors
but the little, simple, and cheap ones-the
things that seem SO absurdy trivial that the
citizen would feel somewhat ashamed OF
bringing them to the attention Of the Iateht
Office.
Edison says that the profits ha has received
from the patents on all his marvellous lnVen-
lions have not been sufficient to pay the cost
of his experiments. But the man who con-
ceiycd the idea of fastening a bit OF rubber
cord to chld's ball, so that it would come
back to his hand when thrown made Tor
tune out of his scheme. The modern sew
ing.machine is miracle OF ingcnu''y-the
product fthc toll of hundreds OF busy brains
through a hundred and fifty years, but t',c
whole brilliant result rests upon the simple
device of putting the eye of the needle at the
noint instead of the other end.

thc strength Of this particular cylinder ana some
other parts While La Gascognc was still out

to conjecture, Mr.. Forget said that heavier ps-

January but that the bearings were the same,
and he thought the trouble was due 10 these
having become 0vcrheated. which again suggests
the difficulties Of such remodclling az La Gas

CRIPPLED FEDERAL COURTS.

Owing either to gross mlscalcuatlOn or 10
parsimOny In the Attorney Generals office, the
Federal courts have been left In pltiable plight.
The Administered ton Of Justice has been interfered
WITH the claims Of faithful officials TO legitimate
compensation have been dsregarded. and the
dignity and prestige Of the courts have been
sacrificed because Of the failure to secure decent
and customary appropriations for the conduct OF
their business. The conservatism and economy
OF the United States in dealing with all Its gov
ornamental departments outside Of Washington
are proverbial, but nowhere does economy APP
proach SO near the limit Of niggardliness as In
the administration OF justice The Circuit and
District courts are throughout the country the
embodiment OF Federal authority, aud they
should be maintained In u manner appropriate
to the National dignity and enabled to transact
business In an efficient and orderly manner. Yet
this Is Just what false and shabby economy
fOrbids.
Judge Alfred G. Coke was recently compelled
to adjourn a term Of the District Court for the
Northern District Of New-York and release from
custody persons charged with offences because
no funds had been provided for holding court.
But this crippling of the court was only the latest
manifestation Of an uneenerous policy, which d.

the patching may be. Quick ocean passages are
