Secretary Bliss Warns Off the Gold Crazed
Pilgrims.

rs
Washington, D. c., Aug. 1I-Secretary
Bliss has taken cognlzance OF the rush to
the Klondyke gold fields and Alaska. and
has issued the following warning:
"To whom it may concern:
"In view of information received at this
department that 5000 persons with 1900
tons of baggage and freight are now
waiting at the entrance to White pass,
in Alaska, tor an opportunity to cross
the mountains 20 the Yukon river, and
that many more are preparing to join
them, deem it proper to call the atten-
ton of all who contemplate making that
trip, to the exposure, privation, suffering
and danger incident thereto at this ad-
vanced period of the season, even if they
should succeed in crossing the mountains.
To reach Dawson City, when over the
pass. 700 miles of difficult navigation on
the Yukon river, without adequate means
of transportation, will still be before
them, and it is doubtful if the journey
can be completed before the river is
closed by ice.
Il am moved to draw public notice to
these conditions by the gravity of the
possible consequences to people detained
in the mountainous wilderness during
five or six months of an Arctic winter
where no relief can reach them however
great their need. S. H. BLISS,
Secretary of the Interior"

During this month also there are usually

MEANS on TRANSPORTATION.

The employment Of suction in pneu.
matte tubes as q means Of trarsporta'
ton ia not a new discovery but has
been In practical operation in a small
way for nearly half a century. ln 1858
a London tie 'syraph company laid up an
itcl and a quarter tube between its
main Office and sub-staticn GOO fee'
distant. Through this tube messages
were sent to the latter station, 1t being
found that transmission in this manner
was much more rapid than by repeat.
Jog messages over a wire. Tho carriers
were small cylindrical shaped boxes
made of gutta percha which fitted
snugly Id the tubes. The plan worked
admirably and grew gradually into
favor until at present there are in
London thirty.four miles of pneumatic
tubes.
While suction was the only force
at first employed in pneumatic trans
portatiop, pressure and suction are
both used at the present day. The adj
vantage Of this system is that o single
tube is all that is necessary, suction
being employed 10 carry messages IN
n direction and pressure TO carry
them in the other. The operator at
tn. end of the tube, can, by touching q
lever reverse the air current and thus
change suction to pressure or vice
versa. The size of the tubes and the
material used in their construction
b I'VE undergone great changes since the
tubular system was first introduced.
M ,st of the tubes in service in LONDON.
Paris and Berlin are TWO and a half or
three inches in diameter, while those
employed in Philadelphia during the
last four years are six inches. Those
to be used in the transportation Of mails
between New York City and Brooklyn,
are to BIO eight inch pipes. The tubular
dispatch company will use eight and
ten inch pipes in. New York City.

THE PATENT BUSINESS.

Tho patent business is one of the
mervels of this country. A Washing
ton correspondent who has been in
vestigatipg it says that the Upited
States has issued nearly 5000 patents
and the rest of the world has issued
about q million more. In many IN.
stances, however, the patents issued
here and abroad are for the same in-
vention. On the other hand q number
of countries have no patent laws
Japan, Cfina and others. II spite OF
the enormous number of patens al
ready in existence, including those
which have expired and for whose
principles no new patents can issue,
applications for new patents come into
the patent Office at the rate OF 125 a
day on the average. To examine ard
pass upon these there are employed
ihirty-fivs principal and about 200
assistant examiners, each having his
own specially. They strain every
nerve and exhaust every device to re-
ject the application.
Applications for patents are refused
il anything substantially similar can be
found ever 10 have Leen patented in
any country, or described in anv print
ed publication in any language, or
used anywhere in the United States.
The only wonder is not that so many
patents are issued every year, but that
any at all are issued. The result is
due, doubtless, to the great number of
intelligent people who are continually
working to invent some new thing of
value, under the stimulus given by the
OF our patent laws.
