FROM THE PATENT OFFICE.

In newly patented speed indicator
for ships a metal log is attached to a
flexible cord at the rear of the ship,
with a fianged rod at the rear to turn
in the water and complete an electric
current in the log, which is connected
through the cord with an indicator on
the deck of the boat.
Pneumatic oil cans for engineers to

A new book of 135 pages by Marvin Warren.
BY irresistible facts and logic it shows clearly
that the natural and easy way of maintaining
forever the parity of all gold, silver and paper
money is to make them equally legal tender,
but not redeemable in each other nor in any
thing but governmental dues.
The author holds that our financial and in
dustrial woes come chiefly from the present
system of coin redemption, and he points out a
way to speedy relief.
The measures proposed in this book are the
logical outcome of the principles of the Peoples
Party, and the rapid circulation of this book
will be of immense service in uniting the
scattered forces of theparty, and in making new
converts everywhere.

ABOUT POSTAGE STAMPS.

Newfoundland is to have a new issue
Of stamps of seven denominations.
Selling stamps is an old business. A
St. Louis firm advertises 1641 varieties
OF stamps, catalogue price $131.O5, for
$50 cash! This is confession that the
stamps are catalogued at four times
their actual value.
AS result of the recent destruction
of large quantities of Hawaiian stamps
by the authorities in Honolulu, there
by setting at rest the possibility of
their being put upon the market, it
would not be surprising of Hawaiian

is to be given up. 1t was established
nearly Is years ago, and has been the
center of much interest to collectors
abroad and visiting philatelists from
this country. Wealthy collectors in this
rountry and Europe are eagerly wait
ing for chance to bid on the choice
specimens that will be sold.
The British government has resolute-
ly refused to issue any jubilee stamps
this year, although the temptation
must have been very great TO thus easi-
ly add to the revenues of the kingdom.
A young school-teacher of Aargau,
Switzerland, found among some old pa
pers an envelope franked with a strip
of six Basle 2R-rappen stamps. The en-
velope is in excellent condition and
shows very plain cancellation of the
Kruezlingen post office and the date
1850. The lucky finder asks $500 francs
($500) for the envelope.
Before stamps came into use postage
was paid over the counter to the post
master and the amount written on the
envelope. 1t is amusing to hear that
people of high social standing did not
consider postage stamp an ornament
to a letter, and preferred to pay the
postage in money. Family crests and
stamps on one and the same letter was
a sign of poor taste in those days.
When the first perforated issue
United States (1S55-60) came upon the
scene some post offices had large guam
titles of the 1851 imperforates on hand,
which We're not exchanged for the new
stamps. 1t was understood that the
stamps of the old design had to be sold
before any of the perforated issue was
disposed of. This seems to explain the
reason for the existence of the occa
sional cover found bearing 1881 stamps,
although postmarked at some time dur
ing the 1S5560 issues vogue.-Mekeel's

The Associated Cycling clubs of Cali
fornia are preparing to fight the L. A.
w. on the question of Sunday racing.
John S. Johnson. the professional,
will not be able to ride until next fall.
as he has not fully recovered from his
illness.
1t is a singular fact, but true, that
the majority of cyclists depend princi-
pally upon the right foot to push the
machine along. In proof of that. if
the balls on a crank axle are examined,
those on one side will be found more
worn than on the other.
One of the best methods known for
keeping bright the nickel work about
a bicycle is to wet a rag with q solu-
tion of hyposulphite of soda and wipe
the article with it, drying with a soft
towel. and afterwards rubbing with a
piece of chamois skin.
In Mexico the roads are being i'm
proved as a result of bicycle riding,
not because of a demand from the riders
as a class, but because the wheel has
made its way into the families of the
governors and other high officials of
the various states. That brought the
necessity of good roads home to them
as nothing else could. with the result
