FROM THE PATENT OFFICE.

BY new device blind shutters can be
automatically raised and lowered as
the suns rays shine or disappear, a
thermostat being attached to the blind
to close an electrical circuit and shut
the blinds as the suns rays become hot.
Envelopes can be quickly moistened
by sealing and stamping by handy
new device, consisting of a water cup
from which a wick rises to feed water to
an absorbent roller, which turns and
dampens the envelope as it is drawn be-
TWEEN the roller and Il fixed pad.
Electricity is used 10 destroy weeds
in a new device which can be used on an
ordinary moving machine, one wire of
the dynamo being attached to the cut
ting bar and the other grounded
through one of the wheels, so that if the
weeds are cut when damp current of
electricity enters each root and burns
it as the top is cut.
Imprisoned miners can be supplied
with food and air by a newly patented
conduit system. consisting of a series
of pipes to be laid through the mine
shafts, with branch pipes running
around each section TO be used, if the

olution as soon as the tire becomes
soft, and gives a stroke on the piston,
which is forced back again by a spring
inside the pump.

SPAIN APOLOGIES.
1 Dos Not Share In De Lone's Refiec-
tinns ON the Hrcsidemt.

Dos Not share In De Lomc's Reflec-
tions on the President.
Washington, Feb. 18.-Spain has Off
cially disclaimed in positive manner
the reflections contained in the De
LONE letter, and as officially announced
by THE state department Thursday the
incident is satisfactorily closed, The
statement given out is as follows:
The following is an abstract of a note
sent Wednesday evening by the Spanish
government to Minister Woodford al
Madrid: THE Spanish government, on
learning OF the incident in which Minister
Dupuy de LONE was concerned and be-
ing advised of his Objectionable commune
cation, with entire sincerity laments the
incident which was the cause of the inter
view with the minister states that Min
lister De LONE had presented his resigna-
ton and it had been accepted before the
presentation of the matter by Minister
Woodford That the Spanish ministry, IN
accepting the resignation of d functonary
whose services they have been utilizing
and valuing up TO that time, leaves il per-
fectlv well established that they do not
share and rather, on the contrary, DIS
authorize the criticisms tending 10 offend
or censure the chief of a friendly nation,
although such criticisms had been writ
reached publicity by artful and criminal
means That this meaning had taken shape
in resolution by the council of min
isters before Gen. Woodford presented the
matter, and at time when the Spanish
government had only vague Geographic
reports concerning the sentiments alluded
to. That the Spanish nation, with equal
and greater reason. afIirms its views ana
decisions after reading the words con
tanned in the letter rejecting upon the
president of the United States.
"As to the paragraph concerning the de-
STABILITY of negotiations of commercial re-
lations. If even for effect, and Importance
of using a representative for the purpose
stated in Senior Dupuy de Lome's letter,
the government expresses concern that in
the light of its conduct, long after the
writing of the letter. and IN view of the I'M
answerable testimony Of simultaneous and
subsequent facts, any doubt should exist
that the Spanish government has given
proof of its real desire ard of its inner
most convictions with respect to the new
commercial system and the projected
treaty Of commerce.
THAT the Spanish government does not
now consider it necessary to lay stress upon
or TO demonstrate anew the truth and sin
cerity of its purpose and the unstalned
good faith of its intentions.
THAT publicly and solcmnly the govern
ment OF Spain contracted before the
mother country and its colonies respon-
sibility for the political and tariff changes
which it has inaugurated in both Antilles
the natural ends of which, in domestic and
International spheres it pulsues with firm
ness which will ever inspire its conduct.
