why Thomas A. Edi.on Patents Every
thing He Inveuts.
AS Thomas 4. Edison watched the
pumping of the air from n glass tube in
his laboratory day or two ago. q man
said to him:
You patent every little thing you
discover, don't you, Mr.. Edison:''
Il do, said Mr.. Edison, land do
you know why do it:''
suppose you 10 it SO you will reap
the benefit Of your discovery. was the
reply.
Il though: you'd say that" said Mr..
Edison, land l don't suppose you will
believe me when l tell you it isn't so.
Nevertheless, l discover n great many
things that l would lie glad to give 20
the public for nothing. but I don't dare.
l patent these things to save myself
from defending lawsuits There are a
lot OF sharks in this world who are con-
hnuai!y on the lookout for new things.
and when ore OF them hears of eome-
thing new he hustles to the patent Office

Opening an envelope by pulling a
string is the latest labor saving device
Like all simple contrivances. it seems
queer no one thought Of it before, but
that doesn't impair its usefulness.
Any envelope can be equipped with
the opener. An ordinary piece Of thread
is inserted at the top Of the flap. and
when the fold is made the thread pro-
jects from one end. To open the en-
velope all that is necessary to do is to
pull back the thread.
This envelope opener is New York
invention, and it promises to be very
popular with the busy business man.

Knowledge saves worry in many
ways. A writer in the Chicago Record
processes to know "a man-not a Chicago
man, but an Englishman-whose we'll
known constitutional hardness once
saved his wife from hours of the most
terrible anxiety.
At the time of the fair there was a
terrible fire in one Of the buillings-I
think it was the cold storage On the
afternoon of the fire the man-he was
an Englishman-had an appointment
on the top floor of the doomed building
The fire broke out, if I'm not mistaken.
about 2 O'Clock. In q short time the
building was partially destroyed and
several lives had been lost.
Some friends of the Englishman came
to his wife at the Victoria hotel and
broke gently to her the fact that the
cold storage place was in ruins and
that Larry had an appointment on the
top floor that afternoon.
what time did the fire break out='
she asked.
They told her at o'clock.
And for what hour was Harry's an.

"Oh, then, I'm not in the least

About 3 O'Clock Harry turned up,

getting transportation. He looked lit

marked, Il had narrow shave this

She kissed him placidly. "You were

"STONE OF SCONE."


Vhe Enterprising SchOoIboy Who Slept In
the Coronation Chair.
1t is long walk from the dining
\ room of the Westminster school to the
coronation chair, which stands behind
the old stone screen just back of the
altar in the abbey, but there is an in.
teresting Connection between the two.
This chair, as is we'll known, is q rude,
heavy oak chair, much worn by time.
1t contains the 'Stone of Scone" and
was made by the order of Edward 1 in
1897, and every English sovereign since
then has sat in it to be crowned.
A stout railing in front of the chair
restraints the crowd of visitors from
coming near, but if they were allowed
to examine it as closely as l was for
tunate enough to do they would find
cut boldly into the solid oak seat in
such sprawling letters as the school
boys knife makes upon his desk, "P.
Abbott slept in this chair Jan. a, 1901"
p. Abbott, it seems, was Westminster
schoolboy, and tradition, which there
is every reason to believe is true, tells
that he made wager with school
mate that he dare stay in the abbey all
night alone.
In order to win his wager he hid in
some corner of the old building until
the doors were locked for the night and
thus was left alone there. Fearing,
however, that when morning came the
boy with whom he had made the bet
would disbelieve his statement that he
had won it, he determined to have
some proof of the fact, and SO spent the
hours of the early morning in carving
on the coronation chair the sentence
which, even now, nearly q century aft
er, bears witness for him. 1t is disap.
pointing that the tradition does not
record just what form and amount of
punishment was visited upon the lad
for his escapade, and that history does
not tell us Of his later years. wonder
whether the courage and grit which
this deed manifested foretold an ener-
getic, successful life or was dissipated
i'll mere bravado. Max Bennett Thrash
