The Patent Office Gazette which was is
sued today was the largest Gazette ever is
sued. 1t contains 2SS pages. The next
largest Gazette contained 1874 pages. The
Norris Peters Company used 100000 reams
of paper in making up this issue, and
made 252, 900 impressions. The usual num-
Der of impressions for the Gazette is 1io,-
600. The government printing office had
to telegraph for extra type and sixty extra
men were put on the work. The issue con-
tains 125 patents issued to Milo G. Kel-
logg of Chicago, ILL.,, through his attorneys
Baldwin, Davidson & Wight. All of the
patents have been assigned to the KEEL
logg Switchboard and Supply Company of
Chicago, and relate particularly to i'm
proved ways of constructing and operat-
ing switchboards for telephone exchanges.
The final government fees on these 125
cases amounted to s., 800. This is the larg-
est check ever paid into the patent Office
at one time for government fees. and the
lbs patents issued to Kellogg is the largest
number ever issued at one time to a single
inventor.

The Situation Reviewed.


Now, what is the situation? The United
States Electric Lighting Company has I'M
foreground conduits and wires in 9th street
Those conduits and wires are its property
and it asks permission of the Commission
ers to open the streets that it may extend
these conduits ard wires to the three sub
urbs named.
MY fist impression of this subject was
that the Commissioners had the right to
designate the streets in which the United
States Electric Lighting Company might
extend it's conduits and wires, under the
act of 1896 The expression by Congress
in it's acts of March 3 and June L. 1897, of
its purpose to provide a conduit system
taken in connection with the power con-
ferred upon the Commissioners to pre-
scribe regulations in respect of the au-
tEorized extensions under the act of 1896
ers the designation of the streets in which
the extensions might be made, but on q
closer reading of the statutes, and of the
broad grant in the act of 1S96-'and the
United States Electric Lighting Company
may extend its underground conduits and
wires east OF Rock creek and within said
fire limits'-corfirmed, it Is, by the acts
Of March ana June 4, 1897. l am satisfied
the United States Electric Lighting Com
pany is entitle to extend it's conduits and
wires in 9th street to Columbia Heights
and that it is not within the discretion of
the Commissioners to refuse it's applica-

There has just been founded at Cal
cutta an institution for the education
Of monkeys. says an exchange.
A young monkey is taken and be-
fore him is placed set of blocks on
which are painted in capitals the let
t.rs of the alpha bet. These blocks are.
in fact, exactly similar 10 those whici
children play with IN every civiGse'
COUNT in the world, and they ar
used IN precisely the same way as IL
the monkey we're young specimen OF
the human race. There is one professor
for each monkey, ard the monkey Is
taught by means Of the blocks to spell
certain words. II the word is fruit,
for example, the monkey, after having
been taught To arrange the blocks SO
Us TO spell the word quickly and with
out error, receives bit of fruit as his
reward. The saple exercise IS repeated
with other words; ard il is hoped that
in time the simians will learn how
TO read and spell and understand Eng
l!sh, IL they cannot speak il. An effort
will also be made, it is said, TO educate
these beasts so that they may become
fairly efficient domestic servants. The
school is SO young as yet however, that
what il viii accomplish is entirely
matter OF speculation. It's professors"
are enthusiastic about their novel work
and seem 10 think that new field OF
usefulness will be opened up for these

IMPORTED FLIES.
Insects Caught In the swamps Of Mexico
brought Here.
Then I'll go TO Fort Scott


The report made from Laredo 10 the
treasury department at Washington
make constant reference to one of the
queerest articles of import brought into
This country. These are dried Mexican
flies, which are brought TO the United
States in large quantities to be used as
food for pet singing birds.
These flies live in the swampe IN vori-
Gus sections in Mexico, where they ure
caught by men who devote their lives
to the work. The fly catchers use a
siiEen net, and make large haul at
every cast The individual fly is called
moscos. II is small and delicate, and
its whole body has the appearance OF
having been gilded.
The flies when alive are beautiful and
harmless. There is duty on these
Mexican flies, doubtless to encourage
the home fly industry. but up to the
present time the moscos business has
not 1ourished in this country to apy
marked extent. The imported flies are
packed in barrels, and they sell for
high price.
