Why Thomas A. Edison Patents Every

Why Thomas A. Edison Patents Every
thing He Invents.
AS Thomas a. Edison watched the
pumping of the air from glass tube in
his laboratory day or two ago, a man
said to him:
"You patent every little thing you
discover, don't you, Mr.. Edison?''
81 do" said Mr. Edison, land do
you know why do it,"
II suppose you do it so you will reap
che benefit Of your discovery, was the
reply.
II thought you'd say that" said Mr..
Edison, land don't suppose you will
believe me when l tell you it isn't so.
Nevertheless, l discover a great many
things that l would be glad to give to
the public for nothing, but don't dare
I patent these things to save myself
from defending lawsuits. There are a
lot Of sharks in this world who are con-
tinually OH the lookout for new things,
and when one of them hears of some
thing new he hustles to the patent office
to see if it is patented. III it isn't, he
CldlHS III as al Orlp maj ulsCOVery anu
files his claim. Then he will turn right
around and, like as not, begin a suit
with the man who invented the thing
for making or using it. The inventor
will say: But discovered this thing
first. l am the inventor. He is referred
to the patent office, where he finds the
official claim of original invention. The
fact that the papers are filed long after
he made his discovery does not help
him, for all the other man does is to hire
a fellow to swear that he made the dis
covery a month or two prior to the date
the inventor claims. 1t sounds ridicu-
lous, probably, but it is fact that there
are often races between the inventors
and the sharks to reach the patent
Office, the sharks having had early in
formation about the inventors discov-
cry. There are many such races and
thousands of dollars depend on each
one What | say is literally true. -

Low Florida Land Turtles Are Lured Out

Low Florida Land Turtles Are Lurcd Out
Of Their Holes.
W II. Gilbert, locksmith. astrono.
h!er, fisherman scientist, hunter and
capitalist, is great fancier of gopher
meat, and has thought of many ways Of
catching the game.
Some time ago he learned that there
was family living in the northwestern
part OF the county which boastad of
young men who could "sing" gophers
out OF their holes. lie Travelled many
miles to ascertain if the report was
really true.
The young men were reluctant at first
to give an exhibition that might reveal
their secret, but Mr. Gilbert had a
number of pursuasives along and finally
they consented.
The young men equipped themselves
with gunny sack and a pointed stick
about five feet long A half mile from
the house, in the wire grass of the roll
ing pine land, they found the hole Of q
gopher. They covered the entrance Of
his tunnel with sack and planted the
stick over the tunnel. Then all Of the
men lay down about go feet away and
one Of them sang.
In a half hour the sack was seen to
move slightly, whercupon one of the
young men jumped up quickly and ran
to the stick, which he pressed deep into
the ground, cutting eff the gopher's re-
treat. The other reached his hand into
the hole and brought out a big gopher,
which was made into a delicious stew
for their dinner Mr.. Gilbert, discours-
ing on the incident, says.
81 have since learned that the Mexi.
cans, who are very fond of eophers,
pursue this method, except that they do
not sing The singing is entirely super
fuous. Curiosity is what kills the GO
pher, as it has killed the historic cat.
The animal evidently is curious to learn
what it is that has darkened the thresh-
old of his abode and comes forth to
see. The stick docs the rest. l have
tried the same plan myself and very
successfully. FLORIDA Times Union.

Measuring Medicine.

Use a medicine glass with the amount
OF each spoonful and drop marked upon
it, Teaspoonfuls and tablespoonfuls are
always mentioned, but as these vary
in size it is not safe to rely upon them.
Drops, too, cannot be properly meas
ured without glass.
Keep the medicine glass perfectly
clean. 1t should be washed out after
each dose, in readiness for the next
time. 1t is desirable that if the patient
is to have medicine with a strong smell.
oils, ETC., to keep glass specially for
them, letting it soak in hot water for
half an hour after use to remove all dis
agreeable odor. IL is impossible to
cleanse such glass in a few moments.
When the medicine is being poured
cut, hold the label uppermost. in order
that it may not become stained with
my drops escaping down the side of
the bottle

A Harlequin without Money.

One evening, when returning from
the theater in q cab (sic), having or
dered the coachman to drive to the Sun,
q tavern in Glare market, he threw
himself out of the coach window and
through the open window Of the tavern
parlor Just as the driver was about to
draw up. The man then descended from
the box, touched his hat and stood wait
ing for his passenger to alight. Finding
at length there was no ono visible, he
besought few blessings on the scoun-
drel who had imposed lron him, re-
mounted his box and was about to drive
off when Rich, who had been watch
ing, vaulted back into the vehicle. and,
putting his head out, asked, Where
the devil are you driving to?" Almost
paralyzed with fear, the driver got
down again, but could not be persuaded
to take his fare, though he was offered
n shilling for himself, exclaiming:
"No, no! That won't do. j know you
too well for all your shoes, and so. Mr.
Devil. for once you're outwitted. -

This he faithfully carried out, though
severely flogged by the master of the

Comment by Rev. =. III. Doyle.
ToPIc.-why believe In the atonement.-
Heb. TX, ll-2s.
The doctrine Of the atonement is one
of the most precious doctrines ~ the
Bible. 1t is the belief that Christ died
for us, that by His death ON the cross,
as an expiatory sacrifice, He paid the
penalty of our sins, satisfied divine JUS
tice and reconciled us to God. 1t is an
important doctrine and because of its
importance we should know why we be-
lieve in il. Taking its Importance into
consideration, it is matter of satisfac-
ton that there are so many and such
positive proofs that the Bible teaches
this doctrine. Upon these proofs our be-
lief in this truth is founded.
!. The atonement is prophesied and
God fulfills prophecy. Only one instance
Of prophecy need be quoted-the fifty
third chapter Of Isaiah, which undoubt-
eddy refers to Christ's atoning death.
HE was wounded for our transgres-
sions, He was bruised for our iniquities,
the chastisement of our peace was upon
Him and with His stripes we are heal
ed" (verse 81. Language could not be
more definite or plain. Christ's death
for us is distinctly prophesied in this
chapter. God fulfills prophecy, and this
one was fulfilled by the death Of Christ
on the cross of Calvary
Q. The Old Testament sacrifices were
expiatory and pointed to Christ. The
names OF these sacrifices prove their
character. They were called sin offer
ings, trespass offerings-that is. offer.
ings made by sinners ON account Of sin.
They are said to bear the sins of offenders
and to secure Gods forgiveness by the
shedding Of blood by giving life for
life. These sacrifices were the type Of
the sacrifice of Christ, who once offered
Himself up, and if they were expiatory
it necessarily follows that the sacrifice
OF Christ would possess the same char
acter.
8. The New Testament declares posi-
lively that Christ's death was expiatory.
In Rom. iii, 20 Paul says Christ is set
as "a Precipitation Gan expiatory sacri-
fice) through faith in His blood" In
Gal. j, 4 he says that Christ "gave Him.
self for our sins " The writer of Hebrews
says that were "sanctified through the
offering Of the body of Jesus Christ
once for all. John says that Jesus
Christ "is the Precipitation for our sins,
and not for ours only, but also for the
sins of the world" Peter speaks of
Christ as He "who His own self bare
our sins in his own body ON the tree"
A. No other theory will explain the
death of Christ. God would not have
given Christ to pay debt to satan, or
to teach US by example to live a life of
sacrifice, or to show His idea of the mai
esty of the law. Christ's death must
have been necessary to atone for the sins
of the world or He would never have
died.
