st. Louis, June 1s-Tho silver delegates
played star engagement. 1t was brief,
but dramatic In the extreme, and easily d.
vided public attention with the presidential
nomination. The men who walked out held
miniature convention of their own and
a1:eed to spring Senator Teller Of Colorado,
who has been their leader in the fndepend-
ent movement, as candidate for presi-
dent. This plan will be conSummated at
meeting to be held tomorrow, when an
address will be issued over the signatures
Of the disaffected delegates who turned
their backs on the convention and probably
some others. A canvas for signatures was
made among the silver men and the can
vassers expressed satisfaction at the sue
cess with which they had met. They do
not expect to secure the names of all the
delegates who voted against the gold plank,
but they say they have received words Of
encouragement from majority Of them.
This address will simply suggest Senator
Teller's availability as a presidential can
didate, upon whom the entire silver vote
can be concentrated, and calling upon the
voters of all parties who believe in bimetal-
lism to unite upon him.

Hanna spent to-day at his home here,
enjoying much needed rest. Among
his guests were Col. Fred Grant, II. G.

was asked where the headquarters Of

the matter much thought as yet. He
said, however, that he might spend
some time in New York during the
campaign. When asked if he knew
what Gov. McIkinley's plans for the

had not yet consulted the governor.
He did not know whether Mr. McKin-

The Feieninr of Death by Animals.

The habit of feigning death for
the sake of protection can be observ-
ed among many of the lower ami
mals-animals which differ widely
in family, genus and species. In
deed, this habit is to be observed IN
creatures microscopic in size and of
exceedingly low organization, as
we'll as in those as high in the scale
of animal life as man himself, for
even man does not hesitate on occa-
sions to avail himself of this natu-
raj subterfuge when he thinks it will
aid in the preservation of his life.
With the aid of the microscope
one can observe and study the nat
ural history of the minute animal

The Inventive American.

The fertility of the American
mind in invention appears in the
statement in the report of the COM
missioner of patents that out of q
total of l, 544, 419 patents issued by
the 80 leading countries of the world
562, 1853, or more than one-third,
have been granted by the United
States. Undoubtedly the ease with
which patent may be obtained in
this country is accountable in con-
siderable degree for this showing,
but the chief cause is the eminently
practical spirit of the American peo-
pie, which turns their undoubted
intellectual agility into profitable
channels. In Connecticut one pat
ent has been taken out for each
1000 of population, and among in
dividual patentees Thomas A. Edi-
con stands at the head of the list
