berliner Patents Void.
WASHINGTON, Nov. 10-The case Of the

among the most important before the
court, as it involves the validity OF the
Berliner patents owned by the Bell com
pany. Attorney General Harmon. Solicit
tor General Conrad and a number of at
torneys representing special interests ap-
pear in connection with the suit of the
United States, while the Bell company
has % heavy array of counsel The United
States claim is that the patent Is void.
The attorney general claims that the Bell
Telephone company "designedly and with
intent TO thereby prolong its monopoly
delayed and prolonged the pendancy of
the application for patent for more than
thirteen years after its control of the
patent" The company maintains that If
there was any slowness it was the act Of
the plaintiff itself, the United States. In
the United States circuit court for Massa-
chusetts the contentious of the United
states We're sustained. In the circuit court
Of appeals this decision was reversed. The
case now comes before the supreme court
AS an appeal by the United States from
the decision of the court of appeals.

MECHANICAL INSECTS.

There is an English insect something like our bee, except that it is a rich violet in color, which well deserves its name of carpento bee. By the hid of chisel provided by nature this bee ex- cavates home in any piece of timber that suits its purpose.
 Not only do wasps make paper, but even cardboard. In South America there is species of wasp that manu- faotures a cardboard so smooth and firm that it may be written or drawn upon. and it is in one way superior to the article made by man, as it is water proof.
 Some large beetles are as good as cir cular saws. They seize branch or twig with their deeply-too;hcd jaws and whirl around and around until the twig is sawed of. They have been known to saw a twig as large as an ordinary walking-stick in this manner.
 There are other insects that use saws which are much better made, finished and sharpered than the finest ones of steel. With these the little workers undertake jobs that approximately, no man would dream of attempting. The saw-fy, which owns the neatest in- strument of this sort. cuts Q perfect groove in wood.
