at is pointed out" Says the Scientific
American, chat such contradiction is
bewildering, and discourages invention
mt the very outset. The trade owes 1t to
itself to formulate certain qualifica-
tions, which may be easily recognized
by inventors. and by which any new de-
vice shall be judged. In regard to the
change in the shape Of the bottle. if it
is the atrractiveness Of the particular
bottle that sells the goods. tile advah-
tagc gained does not warrant the
change: but if it is the quality of tie
goods. it does. If it will take not less
than ten or twelve hours to refill bot
tle. it is practical as to that feature.
because an appreciable percentage Of
substitution is accustomed by laZlneSS
and the vast majority would give up
the practice if it consumed so much
time. The cost of the non-refillable
bottle should not be measured by that
of the ordinary kind. If its cost be any
thing less than the cost of the present
bottles plus the present loss due to
their refilling, it is practical ill regard
to this feature.
"As against the statement that 1t
would be an easy matter to bore hole
in the bottle, refill it and seal it up
again, it is urged that the easiest way
TO convince ones self that this objec-
tion is an error is to take the necessary
tools and bottles to any dealer. show
him how to do it, and see how iof1s u
will be before he can do it so cleyerly
as to avoid ordinary observation. He
would rather give up the practice OF
substitution. Now whether such a
hole were sealed with glass or by the
paper label, it would be readily DIS
covered by agents; who, knowing that
there was but one way to refill 1t, would
always look carefully for such evi-
dence: and. If found, it would be tangi-
bic evidence of the attempt at, or fact
of refillment."
OF late it has come to DC
recognized in the trade ina
the essential features of non
Reliable bottle must include the fol
lowing: The shape of the bottle
doesn't matter much, SO long as the
material of which it is made will i'll nc
way faint the liquid. This, of course
makes glass about the only iDaterla
that may be used. precludes The use o
metal rubber, celuloid. leather, ant
many other substances in the manufac
ture of the bottle Then. to make the
bottle non-rcfllable. it must contain
). -Sslae device which will enable y TO b'
readily filed the first time and impoSSi
bic to fill again.
The parts of the device must be 81
protected that they cannot be inter
fered with or made imperative b.
means of wire or other instruments. 1
must also be impossible to refill the
bottle by submersion or by shaking i
SO as to disarrange It's operative part
or by forcing the liquid through the de
vice within any reasonable time. O
course if it can be so constructed as t.
absolutely prevent the introduction o
any liquid whatever so much the bet
ter. Finally. the bottle must be stron'
and cheap.
Notwithstanding the tempting re
ward in store for the man who can NEE

numerous inventions offered to tn
trade, the problem remains unsolvcd
And yet it looks simple enough.

Will Run on Snow and Ice and Even in
the Water.
Motors for horseless sleighs are among
the latest novelties at the patent office
They are light, powerful affairs, and
can be run by an amateur as easily as
those attached to horseless carriages
The sleighs are designed, says the New
York World, to run either on the snow
or ice A pair Of spurred wheels is
arranged between the runners, and
with a little lever the driver can adjust
the1nso that they will work on the soft
snow just as smoothly as upon ice. One
inventor has also provided against the
danger of breaking through the ice
His sleigh is formed something like a
boat, and is perfectly water tight. II
the ice should break the sleigh would
float, and the ice spurs would act as
paddle wheels in bringing you to shore
again.
One patent is for a sleigh that may be
roWed across the ice. On the end OF
each oar is heavy weight with a,sharE
steel point to cut into the ice. Another
rowboat for the ice is rugged with slid
ing scat and legs with sharp spurs
which catch into the ice and shove the
boat forward each time the rover pulls
Considerable speed is obtained by this
arrangement, although the rowing is
not as easy as upon the water. ~

Unique Methods of Reasoning Which
Some People Adopt.
Charles Daniels, member of con-
gress from Buffalo, served IS years on
the New York supreme court bench
before he was elected to congress. Re
Gently, in talking over old law cases
with a number of lawyers, sd Us the
Troy Times, he told story which was
dazzling illustration of~the unique
methods pursued by some people
to arrive at conclusions. The case
IN question was that of a man named
Greenfield, living in Oswego county,
who had been convicted in the lower
court Of the murder of his wife. The
case was carried to the court of APP
peals, which reversed the finding Of the
lower court. A special hearing was
ordered by the governor. This was
held at Syracuse, and Judge Daniels
was called upon to preside. In examin-
ing the jurors, one man said that he
was prejudiced in the matter. When
asked if he had CLEANED his prejudice
from the papers Oh: by talking with in
terested parties or by hearsay, he re-
piled to every question that he didn't
know a thing about the case, but that
he was nevertheless prejudiced. He
was excused, but Judge Daniels was
not satisfied, and he sent the sheriff
and had the juror brought to him. He
asked him where he had gained his
prejudice. The fellow replied: 81
don't know anything about the case,
but the lawyers made such idiots of
themselves in examining the jurors
that I knew the man must be guilty.''

A Real Farm Paper,

There are so many alleged farm papers
made up of hash and shook larnin' - and
filled with partisan politics that it is a
relief to turn to the Northwestern Agri-
culturist of Minneapolis, and note that
it is filled with original and practical in
formation adapted expressly to the needs
of farms in the Northwest. The North
western Agr1culturist cares nothing for
party politics although it does give a rap
occasionally at calamity howlers. 1t
cares great deal, however, for the adj
vancement Of the livestock interests and
the Improvement Of farce methods in this
section. 1t is thoroughly in touch with
the agricultural Northwest-not Min
nesota only but also Wisconsin, Iowa,
South Dakota and North Dakota.
Its policy is broad, enterprising and
progressive and the key to its success
lies in the idea of its editor, P. V. Collins:
that farming is a group Of sciences and
that in each department there are spe.
tell the general farmer.
It's departments for the women and
children are bright and entertaining.
It is a handsomely printed paper, pub,
lisbed twice month.
II you want sample copy write direc-
tly to the Northwestern Agriculturist
Minneapolis, Mimi, or call at this office
Our word for it, you ought to take this
paper.
Now we have made arrangements with
the publishers oRthe Northwestern Agri.
