SPANIARDs AS INVENTORS.

War Bulletins tho Highest TypS, AppAr-
ently. of What Thoy Have Produced.
The Spanish government is one of the
Oldest organized in the world. The
Spanish nation is one of the oldest main
tanning intact it's official identity in
Europe. In many OF the arts and SCI
ences, as we'll as in war, commerce, nav
lgatlon nandgeographicalr research, Span
iards have taken high rank, but for
some reason Spaniards have been OF
very little note as inventors. The high
est type of modern Spanish invention
would appear to be in the war bulletin.
There are few useful or ingenious in
Ventlons which are attributed to men
of Spanish birth or ancestry. Cannon
were used by the Spaniards nearly 600
years ago, and before their use by
either the English or the French, but
these cannon were brought into Spain
by the Moors. The invention of the
microscope is ascribed to q German,
OF 'unpowder to Hindoo, of printing
to German, of the rife to native of
Vienna, of photography 10 a French
man, of the paddock to n German, the
pendulum to an italian, the mariners
compass to Chinaman, the guitar to
an Egyptian, hats to Swiss resident
of the city of Paris, the kale idoscope
to an Italian, dice to an ancient Greek.
the drum to an Arabian, the galvanic
battery to an italian, the balloon to a
Trenchman. the barometer to an Ital-
ian, bombs to a Hollander, bayonets to
n FreEchman, the accordi6n (as an in
strument of music) to a German resi-
dent of Vienna, fresco painting to an
Italian, the clarinet to German resi-
dent OF Leipsic, stereotyping to a
frenchman, the telescope 10 Holland
er, the thermometer to Galileo, an Ital-
ian, the velocipede (the forerunner OF
the bicycle) to German, and the print
ing press to Dutchman. But it does
not appear that in any of these invep-
tons (either in originating or perfect
ing them) any Spaniard took prom
iEent part or, indeed, any part what
ever. 49,. - - ~,
In modern inventions, as the records
of the patent Office establish, Americans
stand not only at the head, but so far
ahead of the people of other countries
as to render unnecessary any compari-
on. In all mechanical contrivances, and
especially those used in manufactures
or in improved and progressive agricul-
tural operations, Americans stand first;
and at the foot of the list; among civil
lized nations, are the Spaniards. In,
the Sixteenth'century, Seville alone had
10000 silk looms; there are now only
5000 in all Spain. Spain is the only
European country in which manufactur-
ing industry hus gone backward during
the last half century.-N. 7. Sun.

tention is called to the article
entitled "Viaduct" in which Pat
Bowling INDUCES in personal re =
marks derogatory to the reputa-
ton of a respected citizen of BIZ
wabik, Mr.. James Loulan. AS a
business transaction involving
the enormous sum of $500 should
demand the attention of every
great daily throughout the land
and even across the waters the
subject dweIled upon at length
by the Saturday Blade of Eve
leth'' is not to be wondered at,
as it's editor deals not in sums
larger than is allowed by , the
rules governing the game of one
cent ante, and the sum of s400 to
him is but a dream doubtless
never to be realized. While hon.
esty is the accepted policy of
business men, honest investiga-

This action was taken by the Of

the works will be reopened next

Rail straighteners are 1espon-

Vice President Davis thinks
nothing Of the kind will happen.
