RECENT INVENTIONS.

A southerner has designed a new re.
silent tire for wagons, which is made
of an inner section of rubber tubing
surrounded by layer of rubber-coat-
ed linen or canvas and covered by a
vulcanized, comparatively hard, rub
Der tube, which is, in turn, covered by
an outer rubber tube.
Acetylene gas is to be used for the
purpose of initiating marine buoys and
floats, the dry calcium carbide being
placed in a vessel in the upper portion
of the buoy, to which a small quantity
of water is admitted as it sinks, caus-
ing sufficient gas to generate to lift
the buoy in its proper position again.
A Pennsylvania woman has invented
a fly escape for attachment to window
screens, which is formed of wire cone,
with the large end connected with a
passage along the bottom Of the screen,
in which the flies crawl and pass out
through the small end Of the cone,
thus clearing the house of the insects.
A noiseless and more efficient flame
for incandescent gas burners is pro-
duced by giving the air and gas ro-
tary motion to thoroughly mix them
as they are admitted to the bottom Of
the burner, the mixed air and gas be-
ing heated by means of corrugated
rings in the burner, which draw heat
from. the fame above.
Carpet sweepers are being made with
brush mounted on flexible shaft,
and surrounding circular disk to re-
volve toward the dust collector in the
center of the disk as the sweeper is
pushed along, motion being impaired
to the flexible shaft by system Of
gears connected with the central
wheels, on which the sweeper runs.
Envelopes can not be tempered with
to remove their contents in the mails
without revealing the theft il a new
safety device is used, which consists
nf a piece of material to be inserted in
the envelope directly under the adj
dress, which becomes damp and blurs
the writing when the back of the en-
velope is steamed or soaked to open
the flap.
Sunken iron ships, which are too
deeply submerged to permit of the de-
scent of divers to make connections
for raising them, can be lifted by
means of powerful electromagnetic at
tached to lifting ropes, the magnets be-
ing lowered until they strike the
wreck, when an electric current is ap-
piled through wires to cause them to
grip the boat.

PROFITS AT MONTE CARLO.

Enormous Income Indicated by the Price
| OF the Franchise.
| One can form some idea of the enor-
nous profits made by the gambling hell
at Monte Carlo by studying the terms
on which the prince of Monaco has
granted a prolongation Of the conces-
sion under which this infamous estab-
lishment exists. The present conces-
sion expires in 1913, but the share
holders think it wise to secure fur
Their concession before that date. The
terms, which were presented and rati-
fleu the other day, are as follows: The
ESQ, 900 for the concession, plus 100000
allowed for the expenses of the govern
ment of the principality, are to be con-
| tinued, together with the allowances
for public works, lighting, maintenance
of the institutions, ETC., amounting In
all to another ESQ, 900 or EGO, 900 per an
mum. In addition, the Casino company
undertakes to pay over Immediately to
the prince in hard cash the sum OF
100000, and further to spend 100000
upon public works in the shape OF
opening up new avenues and streets in
parts of the principality, indicated by
The prince; to spend $4,000 in the con-
struction of a new theater and opera
house, this to be completed in time for
the exhibition of 1900; to hand over to
the manager of the theater OF Monte
Carlo $1,000 for each performer, this
sum to be spent exclusively in the pay
,nent of special artists, the company to
further bear all the cost of the chorus,
orchestra and scenery. Finally, the
company undertakes to pay over to the
prince in cash $500, 900 in the year 1913,
which was the date of the expiration
of the old contract granted by the late
Prince Charles II. The Casino COM
pany is therefore called upon to find An
additional sum of f1,2S0,0O0 (without
counting the grant to the manager OF
the theater) as the price OF the new
concession. The prince also insists up
on having in future a direct voice in
the management of the concern. He is
to be consulted in the appointment Of
both the manager and directors OF the
Casino company; he is to have the
right to nominate the manager Of the
theater; to be consulted in the engage
ment of the artists and the chef dor
chestra, and, most important of ALL
he is to have control of the publicity"
department. The company spends
about f25,O0O in "squaring' the CONT
mental press and purchasing its benev-
client neutrality in the matter of gamb-
ling. The prince insists upon his right
to issue to these journals which are in
the pay of the concern such notes and
paragraphs as he may think proper.

PATENTS.

We live in an age of inventions and
there is no proposition The justice OF
which is more evident than that the
inven tor desires to reap the fruits of
his genius
1t is for this purpose that he seeks
to protect himself by taking out a pat
ent, and as to the manner of doing this
few words of direction may not be
out of place.
The man who decides with no previ-
GUS knowledge of the subject to man.
age the business for himself will find
that he has almost insuperable diff
culties to overcome and may find, after
muck worry and expense that his idea
has been anticipated by some body else
on the other hand, if he possesses any
practical good sense he will seek the
advice and assistance of some relia-
Bile patent solicitor, who is acquainted
with the routine of the patent office
and can speedily bring his business, if
his idea really prove new and original,
to successful issue with a minimum
of expense. Few men in this profess
sion have had such wide and varied
experience as the members of the firm
of Higdon, Fisher & Thorpe (succes-
sors to the old and widely known firm
of Higdon & Higdon) whose offices are
most centrally located in the Diamond
building, junction Main and Delaware
streets, Kansas City, Mo-, and none
has frmer or more comprehensive
grasp of the subject Patent law
forms in itself special department in
legal Jurisprudence, and in this de-
partment the mem bers of this firm are
well trained, both by study and many
years practice before the Uuited States
courts AS solicitor of patents their
knowledge and experience is no less
extensive and none knows the routines
of the patent Office better than they.
They undertake to obtain both Amer
lean and foreign patents and copy
rights, register trade marks and take
care of all litigation in questions of in
Engagements and the rights of patentees
in general Readers will remember
that only short time ago a firm OF
patent solicitors, whose extensive ad-
vertising had made them known over
the whole country were disbarred from
practice by the national authorities.
1t is but too true that there are uu-
scrupulous men in this business, but
they are we are happy to believe, in
very small minority. Messrs. Hig-
don Fisher & Thorpe are certainly not
among these. Their high character for
personal integrity, their reputation
among the federal bar and before the
United States courts and their great
services rendered on many occasions to
inventors and others, stamp them as
men worthy of every con tidence. Their
terms are in all cases moderate and
in all things they put the interest OF
their clients before every other con-
sideration.

In Persia the bottling of tears con-
stitutes an important part of the
obsequies of the dead. AS the mourners
are sitting round and weeping, the
one with a piece of cotton wool or
master of ceremonies presents each
one with a piece of cotton wool or
sponge, with which to wipe away the
tears. This cotton wool or sponge is
afterwards squeezed into bottle, and
the tears were preserved as a powerful
and efficacious restorative for those
whom every other medicine has failed
to revive. 1t is to this custom that
allusion is made in the eighth verse OF
the fifty-sixth Psalm: "Put thou my
tears into thy bottle"

attended with the splitting Of blood. The
doctors being unable to help her. in

1t is easy to say that this was not case OF

The American Position.

"The people of the United States, in
my Judgment, are pretty nearly unani-
nous that the time for negotiations up
on the Cuban question is past. They
believe that further negotiations mean
further time for the concentration of
the Spanish naval forces and for gen.
eral Spanish preparations for war.
They believe that bloodshed Will be
averted or diminished by prompt ac-
ton of the government not by declar-
ing war. but by making war in self
defense before Spain can secure further
naval or military advantage; that in
tcrvention should be armed, immediate
and impetuous; that not merely a
stable but q republican form of govern
ment should be given the Cubans; that
the Spaniards should get out of Cuba
at once. For these purposes they be-
lleve the army and navy of the United
States should be utilized until Cuba is
free and the Maine is avenged. Sen
