A rather unusual, though not at all
wonderful feat in the way of telegraph
ing was performed a few days since
by the Western Union Telegraph Com.
pany, in carrying on a conversation
direct between the company's Office in
New York and their office in this city.
Mr.. George Gould, who is one OF the
directors Of the company, and also q
practical operator, manipulated the
key in the New York Office. He
wished to see how we'll conversation
could be carried on over the wires, as
the longest possible distance over
which wire could be secured for the
experiment, so the Union Pacific wires
were connected with the o. r. & N
Cos wires, and they, being connected
with the Western Union Office here
the trial was made, and proved very
satisfactory, the lines working over the
whole distance as easily and clearly as
between this city and The Dalles. In
making the necessary connections oi
the wires, four automatic repeaters
were used. While it is nothing wonder
full to exchange messages over go long
q continuous wire as far as the mere
fact of transmission is concerned, it il
very seldom that it is done, probably
not once i'll half dozen years, and it
would be very difficult for any one ex.
cep. man in Mr.. Gould's position to
get the chance to make the experiment
As usual thing, the wires are kept
busy along all the different sections
of the line between here and New
York, and in order that message may
be sent through direct, all other bust.
ness on all the lines must be stopped
for the time. A message going from
here to New York is usually repeated
four or five times.

More women have received valuable
patents for their inventions in thi,
line than any other, over 1G0 having
been taken out by them in two year:
and a half. Several of these inven
tions are making royalties to the in
ventors that place them independently
above all want for the rest OF theiI
natural lives. The constant changes
made in women's apparel make this
field ever fresh, and there is no limit
to the inventions that could be taken
out TO simplify modern wearing ap.
parel for women or children. The
dress reform movements OF recent
years have been the cause OF many ap-
plications for patents, and so long as
the problem remains unsolved there
will be hundreds of other applications
made every year.
Woman's next best field for inven-
ton is in the kitchen, and in this
work she has shown her ability re-
markably well. Over 100 inventions
for cooking utensils have been pat
ented by them, and there are good
prospects that the number will be
greatly increased before the present
year draws to close. Furniture de-
vices have also been popular articles
OF inventions by them, and several OF
our modern ideas about folding chairs
and beds originated in a woman's 5
brain. No one knows better than a
woman what kind of furniture is
needed for modern life. Life in city
apartments is made comfortable only
by the use OF furniture that can read
lily be converted into beds or trunks,
and again into bureaus, stands, and
pianos. Women of to-day, or their
descendants, own So patents on fur
niture improvements, and over 30 de-
vices for washing and cleaning
clothes, dishes, and household uten.
sils. Numerous toys, puzzles, educa-
tional maps and designs, baskets.
clocks, bric-a-brac, and musical in
struments, have been invented by wo-
men, and the products of their labors
are to be seen in almost any house,
hold. In addition to these articles
which seem to come naturally under
the control OF women, there are many
other inventions for machinery, build
ing apparatus, theatrical and stage
scenery, bicycle and carriage attach.
ments, and many others of a less
feminine character.
AS it costs between $50 and 5000
to get out the model of an invention
aud have it patented, it follows that a
woman inventor should 60 slow about
placing her device before the public.
A practical business mans judgment
will usually be of more avail than
that OF patent attorneys decision or
OF friends. Patents that are sure to
succeed invariably find capital enough
to push them. A trustworthy busi-
ness man would advise one rightly to
patent an invention, or to sell the
idea to some large manufacturer.
The latter method is often the more
satisfactory. Less money will proba-
bly, be realized for the invention in
the end by this method, but all of the
worry and uncertainty will be taken
by smother. Many inventors make
their inventions simply to sell to
manufacturers, who take the ideas
and have models executed, and
patents secured. A woman can not
do better than to ally herself with
some such honest, trustworthy, shrewd
manufacturer, who will advise her to
the best OF his judgment.

HANK TAYLOR'S RIGHTS.

When Hank Taylor was put on

Steve Brown, says the Anaconda

speech to the crowd he said

insist on Zeke Cooper lendin' me

l shall insist on 'em."
Prisoner, hsin't you jest little

"Hain't it putin this ere camp to

fit? Whar are we goin' to get billed

"Zeke, will you lend him yer

"That's so, that's so." mused the

We had q talk. We couldn't get q

anywhere within 100 miles. And, as
Hank had observed, Steve Brown was
always saying mean things and pro-
voking quarrels and wasn't of much
account. After discussing the pros
and cons it WAS decided to overlook
the offense and let up on Hank, but
after telling him our decision the judge

A cement for mending broken glass
or china is made by dissolving half an
ounce OF gum arabic in q wineglassful
OF boiling water and adding enough
plaster OF Paris to make thick paste.
Apply it with brush to the edges OF
the broken parts. Hold the pieces
carefully together until the cement
has hardened sufficiently for them to
adhere. If the article to be mended is
broken in several pieces, do not at
tempt to cement a second piece before
the first has thoroughly hardened.
