etc, and operations hercabouts will
be lively The pipe line is TO fol-
low the Big sandy River to the gas
field, and n telephone line is TO be

larger cargoes of slaves purchased from the Portuguese slave dealers. The methods adopted by them were similar, but with the difference that the barks were disguised as whalers instead of traders, as the schooners were in Benin.
 we took seven more valuable vessels during our next years cruise, and four more off the northern division in the third year, making total of fifteen vessels, containing 3745 slaves, all of whom were sent to British West Afri- ca, liberated and taught trades.
 For each slave liberated the crews of the men-of-war were paid as prize money s25 per head, so we were recom- pensed for our hard service to the amount of $93000 head money besides what the vessels themselves were sold for in all about $170,000.
 "As our vessel was fair average of the cruisers, it will be seen that about $4,OOO,O00 was the amount spent by Great Britain in three years, in addi- tion to the cost of her squadron, for suppressing traffic carried on by the SpaniardS.

thoughtful experimentation. I suppose I found it out quicker because of the accident but that does not alter the moral of the incident.
 How do I go about inventing a con- trivance? Well, that is hard to say. Everything requires different treat ment. First, as l said, I find out if there is real need for the thing. Then l go at it and attack it in every way I can think out. This multiplied attack soon sinners down, until l get what might be called a composite idea something which is a combination of all I have thought before, or else the one feasible idea which really seems to discount all the rest. Having once got z track 1 keep up the pace until the goal is reached.
 The only thing, therefore, can say to the young inventor is to go and do likewise. There is one piece of advice 1 can give, however. When a man starts in to invent let him do so with his mind free from all knowledge of what has been done already in the par ticular field he is Investigating.
 For instance, if 1 am about to work out something I never read up on it, nor do I inquire what has been done on it by other inventors. Knowledge of this kind is almost certain to prove a snag in the path of the inventor. He gets into the rut made by his prede- cessors and stops off where they have stopped. On the other hand, if he goes In direction of his own. there are no ruts ahead of him; nothing, in fact, to obstruct his progress. I have several times made inventions in this manner: then when I had completed them have read up on the subject. I found my own ideas were entirely original, but al the same time the ideas of the other fellows were so good ur to certain point that I should have been tempted to have followed in their footsteps if ] had done any previous reading up.
 Of course the question of natural ap- titude enters into the matter, and with out it no man can become star; nevertheless. it is an auxiliary attain ment; dogged perseverance is really the quality most to be desired. Dogged perseverance is the keystone of success In the arts such as painting, music poetry and so forth, a very special tenn. perament may be required, but in the workshop of science men of the san. guine, sandy kind come out ahead The man who keeps at one thing an6 never minds the clock is always sure tt do something. He may miss many so. cial engagements, of course, but hi: success is assured.
 What line of invention is most profit able?
 That depends on what Is meant by the term profitable If an invention is of great public utility it is seldom personally profitable to the inventor If, on the other hand, it is money maker for the inventor, then the ben eft to the general public is apt to bt limited. This is the fault of our mod ern patent office practice Inventor: are afraid to engage in large opera tions which would have to be pro. tected by patents, because our laws, a. they now stand. give every opportun.

BABIES
 ON THE BATTLEFIELD.

X FEW days ago an Afridis baby A bat ssst'sas5a On an Arid. ' ss'as ing 1 l shot it was discovered that he
 had been carrying a baby, and the British troops could not leave this on the ground with the dead man. Of course D provision had been made for such an emergency, but still the sol- diers were quite equal to the occasion and ca jed the title stranger with them on the march. Later on when re- turning, they le'' it II IT the spot where they originally found it, and this was done in full vie ,. of many O. the enemy in the hope that it would soon be hand ed over to it's other This little crea- ture had thus had an experience which will often be referred to in after life.
 A somewhat similar thing occurred during the Russo Turkish war. While the soldiers of a Turkish regi. ent were marching from Plevna upon Constanti- nople they feI- n with a female infant which had been deserted The men took charge of the little lonely child. and she grew up as the daughter of the regiment The most romantic part of the story, however, remains to be told, for this Turkish founding was married two or three years ago to an officer in Russia, when her military foster pa- rents provided her with a handsome dowry.

 "As we came out of strip of woods, where the leaves and broken limbs Of trees covered the ground almost from sight we were close to the blackened remains of a house, and a little way on to our left we saw two pairs of up- turned feet in deserted cattle shed. In a moment we stood looking into the faces of a dead Confederate and a dy- ing Union soldier lying side by side, the cold hand in gray scarcely colder than the one in blue which held it, and, cov- ering both, was the Strangest Old Glory ever made.
 "The living eyes were wistfully raised to mine, and I read in the trembling of the chin feeble attempt to speak. We gave him brandy, soaked bits of hard tack in more and gradually fed him. The stamp of death was upon his face and it's chill was creeping toward his heart I knelt and put my ear close to his lips.
 This is my friend, now he whis- pered No more Johnny Reb, but true Old Glory man-same as you and me. Put us in same grave-side by side, and
 
 Noticing my look of inquiry fixed upon the flag, he continued in half breaths and with many 8 halt that might mean death:
 I've were hit almost alike-and sure to die. Got in here and waited. Next day a Reb, wounded in the neck, gave us water Mother day-and nobody came. Johnny said, It's all up with both of us, comrade-an' I reckon taps has sounded for me. Don't you think I might be buried with you, under the Union f1ag-if only we had one? My father fought for it in Mexico. Say can't we make one? I've these for such as they used to cover screws in bedsteads once And there's that roll of bandages we found in here.

Lord. We fought each other once but we lay in one grave under Old Glory. You know Old Glory, Lord. And please forgive our subsequently, Johnny's.'

ity to sharks to go in and infringe tho rights of the legitimate owners, em- ploying eminent legal assistance mean While to cause stay in any lawsuits instituted by the rightful inventor. I have inveighed against this condition agement to all great public inventions and it is point which should be heed ed by all who intend bringing out any invention.
 So, then, as things stand, if a man wishes to make money from his inven- tions, he had better devise some little thing that costs but trifle to man. ufacture. He will be sure to get f1eeced if he does not Then, when he brings the contrivance before the pub lie, let him steer clear of the patent Of- fee, but manipulate the sale of his ar ticle so that no one can compete with him. His trade secret" as 1t is called. will be more valuable to him than any patent office papers, and 1t will cost him nothing to produce it.
 After all, however, l suppose the real Simon Pure inventor is not apt to be a shrewd business man. and therefore the thing he wants to know principally Is how to lay down any absolute rule. The history of great inventions shows that accident has been responsible for many initial ideas. This, however, Is not always the case, nor should 1t be so. Given a small amount of aptitude and a large amount of application, any man can enter the business of invent ing and make a living-scant at first, but more lucrative as he goes along. There are not many who realize what this large amount of application" really means; the getting up very early. the staying up very late and the sticking at it, meanwhile, with vim that never can recognize failure. Men of this kind are sure to succeed.
 Probably millions of persons are dab bling to-day. in mechanical invention of some nature. but the most of 1t is too spasmodic to count for much in the long run. They do not keep at it enough. If a business man were to neglect the routine end of his daily work, if he were to go to his office one day or two days in the week and then put the rest off until next Monday, or until some other time when the spirit moved him, he would soon have to as- sign.
 It is just so with invention. You have to pursue it as a business, and even more steadily than the ordinary business

helpless cargo in the hold as soon as things went against them.
 Upon our arrival at Sierra Leone, the capital of British West Africa, in January, 1857, we were met by the commodore with several other vessels of the squadron. They had arrived in take on board their several prize crews that had been bringing the prizes captured at different points along the coast. There were about twenty slavers all waiting to be broken up and their material sold for prize money. Some of the pretty and swift craft were more fit for yachts, and all were of American build. No doubt many could have been disposed of at good prices, but, alas. their fate was sealed, and they could never again sail the seas. for a slave ship, once cap- tured by British war vessel, had to be broken up
 Many an old tar would heave a sigh, turn hlS quld of tobacco over and with tears in his eyes say it seemed almost crime to destroy such beautiful craft, put It had to be done, the stern law must be obeyed in the interest of hu- manity to prevent any of these vessels ever again being employed in the slave trade.
 The thought comes to m. that pos sibly it may be that many of the poor sufferers in Cuba at this day are de- scendants of many poor Africans brought from Africa about that period
 ''The slave dealers could afford to lose two vessels out of three and then make large fortunes by the traffic. If sa dealer wanted one cargo of slaves he sent three vessels instead of one, thus allowing two for capture.
 This will give but faint idea of how the traffic was carried on, and it was ali done by the Spaniards from Cuba, who sailed their vessels from Havana under the stars and stripes.
 After our squadron got to sea on the search for slaves, my vessel, the Antelope, was cut a whole month be- fore we had anything to do. But then our work began in earnest.
 Tt was early in the morning when the cry of Sail hoi' from the mast head brought us all on deck
 "'She's a slaver,' cried all the crew at the same time. Every man jumped to his place.
 "But this craft did not give us much trouble. She made an effort to escape,

lections known and most of the works have been dedicated and corrected by the composers themselves. Every avail able space in the room is filled with autograph likeneSseS of all the cele- brated composers, singers and musi- clans past and present, while under a glass case in corner lies a silver laurel wreath surrounded by the decorations Marchesi has received from various crowned leads.
 Marchesi divides her pupils into four classes, each one of which meets three times @ week. The two highest are known as the opera and concert classes. indicating for which branch the pupils are preparing. Monsieur Mangin, a conductor of the Grand Opera, is accom- panist of the opera class and keeps Marchesi in touch with all cuts and changes in the productions the opera. Monsieur Leroux, brother of the well-known composer, acts as accom- panist to the concert class. The begin ners' class Marchesi calls her kitchen" where she prepares voices. There are several small additions given for the various classes at her residence during the term, and occasionally the opera class gives in costume a series of scenes from different operas at some small theater. On these occasions they are usually assisted by some of the male singers from the opera. An addition in which most of the pupils appear is held at the Sale Erard shortly before the term closes.
 If Mime. Marchesi had not made her name famous as a teacher her remark able personality would probably have asserted itself in some other way. On meeting her one would never suppose her to be "A years old. Indeed, she pos sesses an amount of energy and a ca pacity for work that many a younger person might envy.
 She rises at o'clock. and besides her four classes, of about ten girls each. she has many private pupils. She is very vivacious and has a keen appreciation of good joke, besides never being at a loss for an answer herself. A gentle man whose curiosity got the better of his tact once asked her her age, a point on which she is sensitive. She an- swered, II am 2S-and the rest" There are but few of her pupils who do not look forward to their lessons, for while never forgetting the subject in hand,
