Patent Pointers.

Some years ago, in building
AZ envelope-making machine, an in
ventor found that he needed
a shaft that would ~revolve
slowly at first and then increase in
speed, and then suddenly go slow again.
After much experimenting, the now
well known scroll gear was evolved,
as shown above. A simple escapement
movement at the lower end of a pendu-
lum is also shown, which is provided
with two shoulders, upon which the
three arms fall in rotation. Where a
patent for mere improvements was
granted during the tendency of all
earlier application for the broad inven-
ton, the United States court recently
held, that a patent subsequently,
granted IN the earlier application is
not invalid, though the elements Gov
cred by it's claims were shown and de-
scribed but not claimed in the earlier
patent. For free information in rela-
ton to patents, address Sues & Co.,

Spiders rs Weather Pr0Dhets,

One of the best of weather prophets
is the spider. IT there happens to be a
web in the secluded corner of the porch

weeks and the spider will unfailingly
predict the coming of storms.

shortening the rope filaments that Sis
tain the web structure. If the storm
is to be unusually severe or of long
duration the ropes are strengthened as
we'll as shortened, the better to resist
the onset of the elements. Not until
pleasant weather is again close at hand
will the ropes be heightened as before.
On the contrary, when you see the spi-
der running out the slender filaments,
it is certain that calm, fine weather
has set in, whose duration may be
measured by their elongation.
Every t~wenty-four hours the spider
makes some alteration in it's web to
suit the weather. If these changes are
made toward evening, just before sun.
set, a fine, clear night may be safely
counted upon. When the spider sits

to watch the spider barometer. There
are few houses where the crafty crea-

these places, and when you see the
spiders coming out on the walls more
freely than usual you may be sure rain
is near.

The Native Races of Peru.

According to Sir Clements r. Mark
ham, president OF the Royal Geograph-
lcal Society, the Indian population Of
Peru is little changed in appearance
since the days Of the lncas; while great
numbers Of Mestizos or half-casts have
retained most Of the Inca characteris-
tics. With intellectual powers fitting
~ the whole laboring class in the in
church and state, under favorable sur
roundlngs, the Indians still form near
" the whole laboring classes in the in
terror OF Peru. Like his ancestors, the
indian of the present day is robust, and
capable of enduring great fatigue. His
countenance is usually clouded with d
look Of profound melancholy, the in
delible stamp of centuries of intoler-
able oppression. The worst forms Of
tyranny disappeared with the expul-
sion OF the Spaniards in 1924. and the
tribute was abolished in 1855. But
the crushing oppression of the Spanish
conquerors made a deep impression on
their victims, which has produced a
lasting effect. 1t instilled a natural
hatred of their cruel enemies into their
minds. as we'll as a profound aversion
for their civilization. But they were
equally impressed with the tremendous
power of men who could utterly an
initiate the rule Of those Incas whom
they revered almost as gods. This in
duced a feeling of hopeless despair.
Ali the down trodden people could do
was to oppose a passive resistance with
a constancy peculiar to their tempera-
ment, and this attitude has become he
reditary.
Yet the Indians, as a race, were cap
able in the past Of achieving a high
civilization, and they are equally cap
able of great things in the future, I'M

They are excellent cultivators. and

An Ostrich and a Hot Potato,

For odd appetites the goat and the
ostrich stand supreme, with the ostrich
just a step ahead. And yet an ostrich
finds trouble in swallowing a hot DO
tato. A South African writer tells an
amusing story of greed and how it was
punished. He says:
These ostriches We're a source of end
less trouble to us. They grew rapidly
and developed great kicking powers,
until they became sometimes positively
dangerous, the dogs and the katfirs
coming i'll for most of their attentions.
Their appetite was Unsuitable. We used
to make large quantities of biltong. CT
sun-drled meat, and there were usually
dozens OF strips of it hanging on rheims
sung from wagon to wagon, and these
were always objects of attention on the
part OF the ostriches. It was most am
using TO see one trying to swallow a
strip a yard long and two inches thick,
just as a chicken struggles with a worm
that Is a little to big for it. Once we
llad 10 drag a huge strip out of one Of
the plrd Threats to save it from chok-
ing.
But it was the culinary department
that interested them most. They would
always attack the Kaftrs bringing the
vlands from the "kitchen'' to the tent,
and sometimes were so ~pertinacious
mat the boy would get frightened and
throw the dish away and bolt, and we
would lose the best part of our dinner,
lhey would even come into the tent
ana snatch things off the table, and we
would tax it out of them by smother
ing a dainty morsel with salt and ca
yenne pepper; but after awhile they
seemed to flourish on it,
One day, however, we got the laugh
on our side. Dinner was preparing and
II OF the birds was Investigating the
pots around the fire. A great pot Of
huge potatoes took his fancy, and he
1hcontlnently seized and swallowed a
reo~hot tuber as big as a Large pome-
ranate He danced, he jumped, he
kicked, he twisted his neck about al
most into knots, he tapped his wings
ana Waggled his tail, he ran amuck,
knocking things down and banging
himself up against the wagons and
stone walls, and at last tore away into
lhe weld at twenty miles an hour until
ne was out of sight, and did not appear
again for a couple of hours.
Every morning soon after sunrise
these birds would indulge In a dance

P OF NATIVES.

as shepherds they excel by reason of
their patience and kindness to animals.
1t is probable that no other people
could have successfully domesticated
so stubborn an animal as the llama, so
as to use it as a beast Of burden; and
constant watchfulness and attention
alone enable the Indians to rear their
1ocks of a%lpacas, which need assist
ance in almost every function of ma
ture, and to produce the large annual
out-turn of wool. AS miners, they are
exceedingly apt at the work Of extract
ing the metal from the ores; and no
people in the world are to be compared
with them in ability to endure the ex-
tremes of heat and cold. They make
faithful and trusty servants, and be-
come admirable soldiers. They are
most affectionate in their family rela-
tions, and have an intense love Of
home. The people are fond of sing
ing. especially when at work, and the
little shepherd lads enliven their long
hours of solitude with D%laintive tunes
on their flutes. The memory of form
er wrongs mas tlHSeu tueli most pOpu-
lar songs with sadness. The young

there are many festivals when the PEG
ple indulge in cheerful in%tercourses, and
only too often in an excessive use of a
pleasant fermented liquor made from
maize. They are fond of singing birds,
kept in cages, of flowers and bright
