STEALING INVENTIONS.

Just why inventive genius and guilt

been shrewd business man. Being
merely an inventor ne hadn't sense
enough to keep his ideH to himself until
the patent Office paddock had secured it
against theft In thr innocence of his
nature the inventor confided the idea to
a friend while crossing the North river

for the boat to tic up in Jersey City be-
fore he excused himself. started back to
New York and went on dead run for
a patent lawyer in order to have the
idea secured for his own especial beue-
fit. Another man is known today as the
inventor of the lace hooks. lie owns q

The inventor of "a patent stopper for
beer bottles, something that had long
been wanted by the trade, sold the In
veution for $40, 900 20 man who recog-
nized It's money making value, The
purchaser is now worth IS, 600, 600, all
of which he made from the patent stop

reduction good profit can be made.
This last inventor was treated with
princely generosity, however in COM
parison with the genius who devised a
.pocketbook clasp in the shupe of inter-
locking horns with balls at the end
which snapped shut with a single pres
sure. The idea was afterward applied to
gloves and became very much in favor.
The inventor relinquished his prize for
'theimagniicent reward of kidney stew
dinner and 80 cents, the latter having
been advanced by the purchaser TO pay
theinventOr' expense from Newark to

idea and patented it after treating the
inventor in the royal manner mentioned
made big fortune by his shrewdness.

cities Buried by Sand Storms.

Sven Hedin, the Norwegian traveller,
has discovered OH the north side of the
Kuen Lun mountains, and in the edge
Of the great desert of Cobb, the ruins Of
towns which he thinks were buried by
sand storms about 900 years ago. The
largest town was nearly 2l5 miles long,
and a canal connected it and the sur
rounding country with the Kerija river.
The houses mad walls Of plated reeds,
covered with mud and then coated with
white plaster, and on these plaster walls
were well executed paintings of men,
animals and flowers. Poplars apricots
and plum trees had evidently Hourished
there before the invasion of the sand. -

SCORES OF I.r,a,..s.

George D. Prentice was remarkably
candid man, illustration Of which is
given in tine anecdotes which follow;
but these are only few of the hundreds
to be told:
Once when coming out OF a public
building in Louisy!. ho was about to
pass through double door which open
cd both ways. Like the sensible man he
was he started to push at the door half
on his right A young man coming from
the opposite direction was pushing at
the same door, being his own left
Prentice lost patience, and throwing
himself with all his might against the
door it few open and the young man
went sprawling on the mosaic floor.
Assisting the youth to arise, Prentice
remarked: "Take my advice, my son.
Keep to the right in your way through
life, and you'll never run against any
body but blamed fool, and you needn't
apologize to him..
Will S. Hays, the famous Kentucky
song writer, was in the latter days of
the old journal river reporter for The
Democrat. Hays was a very sudden
young man, good hearted, jolly, witty,
but lacking somewhat in reverence, and
he had a habit Of calling persons, even
old enough to be his grandfather, by
their given names. Visiting Prentice
one day as fellow poet, after some des-
ultory talk, Hays said:
II suppose, George, you have seen
my last song"
Prentice looked up at Hays, who was
seated cross legged ON Prentice's table,
and with a twinkle in his expressive
eyes quietly replied:
81 hope so, Bill.
Bill looked around for a second or
two, as if something had tapped him,
and then slid down the baluster rail to
the front door. Chicago Times Herald.

Planted by Wales.

Comparatively few people know that
there il tree in Central park planted
by the Prince of Wales on his visit to
this country just before the war. 1t
stands on the grass plot west of the
Mall, between that and the middle
drive, down toward the marble arch.
The tree has never been a credit to the
royal gardener, and i'll the words of the
park authorities, if you wish to find it,
Look for sickly looking elm, and
when you see it you will know it is the
one the Prince of Wales planted" It
has Jared better, however, than the treo
planted by the Prince of Wales at
Mount Vernon, where, in an inclosed
place, is tree, 'planted in the place of
the tree planted by the Prince of
Wales" or words to that effect, as a
sign on the Enclosure says. People who
know say that illustrious persons who
plant trees for the benefit of posterity
aud to insure green monument to
their own memories do not always know
what they are about. The - trees
planted by Alexander Hamilton were
planted in a space not much more than
large enough for one tree to grow in
and thrive. New York Times.

Climbing.

Selfi-h ambition may help US to climb
to the point where we may be seen, but
it never aids us in climbing to where
we can see. The higher a man gets in
the world in pursuit Of selfish aims the
narrower his field of vision becomes.
The higher he gets in the pursuit of un-
selfish aims the farther he can see
around him. 1t matters little whether
we climb in life if we do nor climb to-
ward higher point of vision.

their victory, laying down the law and
playing at being great men. During

for days Of rebellion. According to these
exceptional laws, murder is tolerated
and havoc permitted, but theft is siren

Palmistry.

Marvellous things are claimed Of
palmistry, not only by those who prac-
tioe it as a profession, but by many who
have seen the prophecies of palmists
come true in actual life Telling the
past by the lines of the hands is, how.
ever, almost a new art. There is man
in town who believes he can do it, al
least so far as marriages are concerned.
He is Professor lIargatt. Still further,
he claims that the lines Of the hand
show whether a marriage in the past
ended in divorce, and which party it
was that obtained the divorce.
ut is also possible, " he said the other
day, ito find in the palms the records
Of the number Of ones marriages, hint
Of the experiences of courtship, and
whether married life proved smooth or
otherwise. l saved one young woman
from biganlist once. He was engaged
to her, and they came together to me.
You are married already, said after
looking at his palm. He only laughed,
but the young woman investigated and
found it was true.
ION another occasion l saw in the
hand of hotel keeper the record of two
marriages-one at "a years, and the
other at 60 When l told him, he was
simply amazed. L was married once at

Flow Bees Gather Honey.

Bees gather honey by the aid Of their
trunk" clover lip or tongue, +"
which is used as an instrument for ex-
tracing the nectar from flowers. The
"tongue" of a bee is not, as was once
thought to be the case, tube through
which the juice is sucked, but is built
more after the fashion of n fine broom.
With this broom the bee brushes or laps
the honey or honey material from the
flowers, leaves, ETC., and passes it down
a groove in the upper surface OF the
tongue to the mouth proper From that
point the juice is conveyed through a
minute orifice into the First stomach, "
vulgarly called the "honey bag" The
"honey bag" is a real chemical labora-
tory, where, by some mysterious process
which has rot yet been explained by
science, the juices are converted into
pure honey. When the chemical process
of transforming their nectar into viscid
honey has been completed, the bee dis
gorges it into one of the cells made for
the purpose of u receptacle.
For years the microscopists and the
entomologists have been studying the
bees laboratory, but its workings are
at present among the unexplained mys-
teries. st. Louis Republic.

On cold night man was Fastening
across the common with his overcoat
buttoncd up to his neck. He was rather
anxious 10 know what time it was, but
was too lazy to unbutton his coat in
order to get at his watch. Just then he
saw man Of well dressed appearance
coming in the distance, and remarked to
himself
go to! vii ask yon gentle stranger
what time ii is, and he will unbutton his
coat, pull out his watch and inform me
of the hour Of the night"
He perceived that the stranger was
buttoned up just as he was. When he
came up, the man who wanted to know
the time touched his hat politely and
said
'Sir. do you know what time it is p
The stranger paused, removed his right
glove, unbuttoned his coat from top to
bottom. unbuttoned his undercoat, and
finally pulled out his watch, while the
cold wind beat against his unprotected
chest.
Holding up the watch so that the light
would shine on it, he scrutinized it an
instant and said "Yes!" And then he
passed on without another word.
