THE LAWS OF ABYSsINIA.
low Criminals AFo Punished I'm en-
perOr Menelek's DacLNNum-
beF Country.

The laws Of Abyssihia are primitive
and based on those of the Israelites:
AN eye for an eye" There arencithef
law courts nor lawyers; both plaintiff
and defendant plead their own cause.
Formerly, prior To the appointment by
King Theodore OF executioners, tho
guilty person, Ia case of murder, was
slain in exactly tho snme manner in
which DO bad taken the lifo of his vic
tim. For instance. IL man killed an
other with sword. tho avenger Of
blood had TO use similar weapon. IL
death had been caused by blows from
"a club. a club was used to take tho lifo
Of tho murderer. This law most un-
justly operated oven IN cases Of man
slaughter; and tho life OF a men who
unwittingly and Unintentlopally had
caused The death Of another could be
demanded by tho relatives Of she de-
ceased.
Among many others. an instance o.
this kind was once related 20 me. Two
men were cuttjpg grass on che side of a
precipicb, and when they were about 20
descend one OF them fastened the end
Of rope around his companion's body
70 lovpr him down the cliff, and qt-
tached the other end TO the trunk 90 a
trre. Accidentally tho man TO be low
orJd slipped before al was ready, and
coil Of the rope becoming ontangied
round his neck he was strangiod. His
comrode,, on. subsequently descending
by slipping down the rope. was hoI1i-
fed 10 find him dend at the bottom. and
hastened 70 the village 20 report the cir
cumstance. The judge passed a sens
tenee Of mansiaughter, and ordered
o fine OF $3.50 10 be paid TO the widow.
The widow, however. refused the COM
pensatiOn and demanded the literal
carrying ont pf the law.
After some dellberation 81 was agreed
that she should carry her point. and the
unfortunate and perfectly innocent
man was sentenced 10 be hanged with
| tho same rope which had caused the
fatal accident; the ropo was, accord
ingly, fastened round his neck. and he
was hauled up few feet from tho
ground, suspended few moments and
then lowered again. The widow, be-
lieving him from All appearances to DO
dead, was satisfied; but the relatives of
the victim FASTENED TO him and applied
restoratives. which were so effective
that In course OF time he got up and
walked away. The widow was furious.
and demanded that sentence should be
again enacted. adding: Next time !
Will hold ON 10 his feet until he is dead. 4"

BrREiiian Forest rhat rs Guarded by
n Veil OF ChfoTofOrm-De-
mon Flowers.

Serge Balaguine, Russian explorer
Of Brazil, states inan interview recent
ly published In the Gauleis. OF. Paris,
that a few degrces below the equator
he discovered forest of flowers thAt
prevented Hmm from approaching them.
With every. deference to Mr.. BAlaguine,
that forest seems 10 have been discov-
cred before. Two years ago there ab-
pearod Ia a San Francisco paper an ao-
count provided By bulb hunter re-
turning from tho samo region. who de-
clared that after noticing Ia forest
az odor, vague and sweet at first, but
which increased as he advanced, ulti-
mately he reached clearing, and there,
straight ahead, was q wilderness Of or
ohids. Trees were loaded with them,
underbrush was covered with them,
they trailed on The ground, mounted In
beckoning contortions, dangled from
bunches, fell in sheets and elongated
and expanded as far as the eyo could
reach.
a breeze passed and they swayed with
It, moving with a nfe OF their own,
dancing IN tho glaro OF tho equatorial
sun, and as they danced exhaling an
odor that protected them more sheeriy
than a wall. In vain did that hunter
endeavor to approach There was veil
OF perfumed chloroform through which
he could see, but through which. try
as he might, he could not pass. It held
him back more effectually than bayo-
nets, and IL was torture 10 him 10 see
those flowers and to feel that before he
could reach them he must die, suffo-
Gated by the very splendors Of which he
was in search, poisoned by floral jew
els such as no one perhaps had seen
before. At the time the placewas known
as the village Of demon flowers.-Col-

STEALING INVENTIONS.
There Is some Difference Between an
Idea and InVention--nn
Important One.


Some remarks that cannot fail TO
interest and instruct many readers of
this page were made few days ago at
a convention Of mechanical engineers
by james W. See. Some of his other
talk on patents and invention, which
appealed to manufacturers and lawyers
rather than inventors. were valuable,
but need not be reproduced here.
ideas can be stolen from the origina-
tor" said Mr.. See, but there is no eX-
cuse for inventions being stolen. An
idea is not an invention, but is merely
a hopeful conception OF a possibility.
The invention is tho possibility reduced
tc form. Many uen have ideas which
are mere visions and which never can
be given form by anybody; other men
have ideas which they would be incara-
bic of reducing to form themselves. but
which could be reduced TO form by
others II the idea was disclosed. The
mere hint er idea is Of no benefit TO tho
public, and is not the thing which the
Jaw seeks 10 reward. The useful in
vehtion Is the thing which is recognized.
1T is quite common when a meri-
torious inventor has got his patent to
hear numerous men say: lie stolo
that from me- when the fact wis there
was nothing TO steal, no invention, but
merely an idea.
THE law rewards him who ac-
compllshes something instead Of him
who merely suggests the desirablity
Of certain accomplishment. Regard
less OF who first conceives OF the desira-
bility OF an invention, he who actually
makes the invention first Is the one en-
titled to a reward. Tho idea of an in
vention. followed by occasional and
half-hearted attempts 10 reduce tho
thing to- the form Of an invention, will
not prevail against the merltorious In
yentor, who. though later 70 conceive
the idea, or eyen borrow IL. Is tho first
to reach tho goal Of practical accom-
plishment which benefits the world.
"But II an inventor has gone further
than the idea. and hasdevelopcd il into
an invention, then the only way he can
lose his rights IS 70 keep it secret, so
that no cannot prove that he had any
rights. The originator OF an invention
who has reduced tito a9 actual, useful
invention, and can prove that fact, con-
not'be deprived Of his rights. A com
peting inventor may meet him in tho
patent Office with an application, or tho
competing inventor may actually get his
patent before tho meritorious inventor
has applied for his patent, but IL the
facts aro susceptible o. proofs the meri'
t6rous inventor, after proper int1rfcr
ence proceedings. viii be adaudged hh
rights and viii get his patent. and thl
patent CT his competitor will be prso
tscally voh."-N. Y. Tribune.

federafe officer refused 10 accept more

That was slight exaggeration, of
