Recent Inventions,

Train orders can be delivered to the
engineer while the train is under high
speed by the use of a new order-hold-
ing device, which has a wire loop with
a clamp on one side to grip the mes
sage, socket being provided to hold
the loop in position to be easily de-
tached by the engineer.
A Canadian has patented bulletin
board which does away with the ne
cessity for pasting the dispatches, the
surface of the board being covered
with series of wires fitted on frame
at the sides, the dispatch being held on
the board by drawing the frame back
to stretch the wires in place.
A pocket cuspidor has been patented
by New Hampshire man, comprising
a receptacle to fit in the pocket, with
telescoping tube fitting in the neck
of the receptacle, cap fitting tightly
over the end of the tube, with a spring
and cord arrangement to open the cap
when the tube is drawn out. -
Rubber hand stamps are made to
print their letters more evenly BY: the
use of a newly designed base, the con-
nection between the handle and the
typeholder being formed of a series of
flexible rubber rings, which adjust
themselves to eQualize the pressure
on the opposite end of the stamp.
A new method of mounting photo
graphic prints has been patented by
Pennsylvania, consisting of a mat
having an opening of the desired siz,
in the center, with a flap attached to
the back of the mat, an adhesive bor
der being formed around the flap to
engage the print and hold it against
the. mat. X ta..a.[. :. >s NJ. 1es.a

to a place of safety he looked down at
the place where he had been working
few moments before and saw the
waters frolicking with a whale. They
threw him up as vigorously as one Of
his ancestors might have Jonah. When
the tide receded the professor went
down and paced off the cetaceous
mammal, which was over thirty feet
long.
On shore Prof. Hatcher had a COM
paratively easy time. On a former
journey he had been in bed with in
fammatory rheumatism for fifty-seven
days, fiat on his back, helpless, and
miles from anywhere: He recovered,
thanks to his constitution and the care
of a young companion, but he sleeps
off the ground now when prospecting
and is more careful about exposing
himself.

Professor Hatcher, Looking for Fossils,
Finds Lots Of Other Things.

Prof. Hatcher, who has been hunting
FOSSILS down at the earths tip end, is
lack again in his home in Princeton,
N. J., much pleased with the results of
this, his third expedition. to Pata-
gonia. He has dug out seven tons OF
the bones Of animals, birds and fishes
that frisked about on land, in the air
or in the sea, and ate each other eager
ly 100000 years before God made Eve
out of Adams rib.
Living, as they did, before the time
of Adam, these birds and beasts and
fishes were nameless. Nameless, but
blameless, for it is not the fault of
these ancient creatures that they knew
not the first man; it is their misfor-
tune. The scientist has tried to make
up for what Adam did not do, but he
has not done we'll. Adam would have
done better by them than has the man
of lore, who invariably labeled them
with longest. Greek and Latin names
it is possible to induce printer to set
up in type. They were born too soon,
and that is the whole story-millions
OF years too soon. One hardly realizes
how overearly they appeared on earth
because million years conveys an in
definite idea to the mind. 1t is too far
beyond any possible personal expert
ence. Mark off a mile on a. straight
road and then at one end of this mile
mark off five-eighths of an inch-that
will represent one year.
Prof. Hatcher says that the Patago-
man rock formations show an antiuui
ty he hardly dares to estimate. The
lowest stratum he dug out fossils from
extends far out beneath the sea- He
worked on it at low tide, and the
highest is some 5000 feet above sea
level. Washings from the Cordilleras,
the southern end of the Andes. formed
these rocks. In all strata they are of
the same substance-the stuff the gla-
ciers, rains and rivers brought down
to the sea. This deposit from the
mountains began in the early days
when all there was of Patagonia was
string of mountains sticking up their
heads above the water and extending
far toward the south pole, and it has
continued ever since, as the land has
risen and sunk, the successive ages
making enormous steppes Three of
these steppes are above water now and
show distinctly in sections in the can
yons the rivers have cut down through
them.

Discovery of Acetylene Gas.

Discovery of Acety1ene Gas.
The facts relating to the discovery of
acetylene gas, which are vouched for,
are both novel and interesting. It ap-
pears, according to the Canadian Man
ufacturer, that, some years ago, Thorn
as L. Wilson, Of st. Catharines, Ont,
was smelling for metallurgical pur-
poses. From time to time he used a
good deal of rock salt in his furnace
stock, and also limestone as a flux.
Whenever these two materials were
fused together, the Stag produced by
the intense electrical heat included a
dirty grayish substance, wholly unlike
anything else he had ever seen. For
weeks he noticed this substance with

to it, dumping It into the stream upon

TRUTH ABOUT PATAGONIA,

such a bottom travel is difficult, and
one must have good start to get to
the cliff ahead of the tide. AS there
are two high tides day there is not
much time to work between them, es-
pecially if one goes out near the low
water limit, as Prof. Hatcher did. The
professor says that sprinting over a
couple of miles of powders with a
fifty foot wall of boiling surf behind
one is fully as exhilarating as hurdle
racing. Once when he had climbed

A device which will save a great deal

A Million Dollars for Two Islands.

An American syndicate is reported

for two small islands, La Cruza and
La Ramon, off the shores of Cuba.

The success of the mountain rail-

Chamonix to the top of Mont, Blanc.
For more than three miles the upper

gallery in the rock. The entire length
is to be six and a quarter miles.

Club Notes.

After an interesting current event
hour, on topics ranging from the "New
CnilGrens Museum" to the big English
-damsto be erected on the Nile river,
the rest of the club afternoon was
spent with Elizabeth Stuart Phelps.
This wonderfully gifted womans life
itself is more charming than any ro-
nance. The readings were from her
"Chapters of Life except a short
one from 1.-THE Silent Partner" The
analysis of 1.-THE Gates Ajar," how it
came to be written, and the storm OF
discussion it created; the wonderful
sale of the book, and it's infunce were
listened to with great pleasure.

said OF her mother she proved that

the most successful mother.

Tuesday was the kind of a lay that
all Kansans dread. The wind was
blowing a gale, and when the fire bell
rang at 8:15 a. m. every mans heart
palpitated with alarm. Fire had
broken out in the bath room of
Taylor's barber shop. Quick work by
our local fire department, assisted by
many willing hands extinguished the
blaze before it had got fairly under
way: Had the fire not been discovered
before it had got a good start, a
large part of the business portion OF
the city might now be in ashes. The
actual damage was very slight.
