CHAPTER Xxx.

AA.
At 10 o'clock on the morning Of the
twenty-eighth every seat in the court room
of Judge Fowler was filed.
There was no longer even standing
room.
Wilmington's populace had turned out
almost en- masse to listen to the verdict Of
the jury in the case against Robert Camp
bell, charged with murder, and few there
were who doubted what that verdict
would be.
The prisoner occupied the box, n he had
for several days previous, while seated
just without the railing that separated
him from the bar of the court was his
mother and sister.
1t seemed that the calm demeanor of
the prisoner brought added confidence to
the two women, who were earnestly con-
versing with him.
Within the bar were seated a number
of attorneys
To the right of the judicial seat was At
torney Robbins, while by his side sat Her
man Craven, without a single cloud dark
ening his brow.
Slightly removed from them sat Mrs.
Hammond, the wife Of Director Ham
mOnd, Miss Steel, and the fair daughter
of the murdered banker.
To the left. nearer the prisoner, were
seated Lawyer Dobbs and his son.
The clerk of the court was already at
his post and Sheriff Cobb stood directly
behind the prisoner, while two Of his dep
uties were leaning over the railing.
Coroner Field, who had held the priS
oner for trial, was standing near the
sheriff.
The low hum of voices resounded
throughout the court room, and expec-
fancy was beaming from all eyes As they
were turned from time to time to the side
door by which it was expected the judge
would enter the court room.
As the last stroke Of the clock died away
the door opened and the judge advanced
within the bar.
A moment more and he had mounted tns
oench and taken his seat.
The sheriff had advanced within int
railing, and with his gavel he struck three
blows on the corner of the clerks desk,

THE FLOOD OF PATENTS

Articles OF Everyday Use the Subject
of Thousands Of Inventions.
ut is becoming harder every year fol
a man to get out a successful inven-
tiOn," remarked q patent attorney.
''The other day 1 was in Washington
and my work required me to search the
old patent list. The thing that attracted
my attention was the great number of
patents taken out on common, every
day articles. Why, they are so covered
with patents that 1t seems absolutely
impossible for an inventor to make any
improvement upon them without in
fringing upon somebody else.
"FOr instance, take knives, forks ana
spoons. How many patents do you
suppose are taken out on these three
articles of everyday necessity? A
dozen or two? Why. bless you. they are
protected by 2.1O3 patents. Then take
broms and scrubbing brushes. You
wouldn't think that any number of
geniuses could invent more than a hun
dred improvements upon such things.
Well. there are patents for them to the
number of 3,1S4. 1t seems ridiculous,
doesn't 1t? 1t did to me, and for a time

everyone Of my clients to give up the

Il had the curiosity to go a little
deeper into the subject and l made a
record of the number of patents taken
out on other small things. Games and
toys are protected by 4,453 different
patents. But, of course, that can be
overlooked, for games and toys are as
varied and uncertain as our winter
weather. The laundry business Is
hedged In pretty well with patents, for
there are 1858 taken out on various
laundry articles. Burglars ought nev-
er to be able to get through our locks
and latches, for they are protected by
5,976 patents; but then this Is partly

Unused Portion. of Manure.

Value does not always depend on
bigness. II is this fact which farmers
are learning that gives them more
faith in the concentrated mineral fer
tilizers as compared with stable man
ure. But in both there is much bulk
that goes TO waste. Ii is good min
eral fertilizer that has four or five per
cent. of available phosphate or seven
to ten per cent. of potash. SO when
200 pounds of mineral fertilizer are
distributed per acre, it means that the
benefit is all concentrated in ten to
fifteen pounds if we could distribute
it evenly in concentrated form. With
stable manure there is always much
less proportion of mineral fertility,
but this is offset by the available nj
trogen which the stable manure gives
off while it is decomposing. The
stable manure has also another effect.
1t is bulky in proportion to its weight,
and therefore makes the soil much
lighter than it should be, because it
separates the soil particles and admits
air. This imprisoned air warns the
soil, which is an advantage in early
spring for most crops. Hence it is
that coarse manures are so generally
drawn in winter and plowed under
early in spring for hoed crops. 1t is
then probably the best use to which
the manure could be put.

To do good plowing one needs a
good plow, and to know how to Sc
lect a good plow one should thorough
ly understand the object of blowing.
Too many think it is simply to turn
the soil over, upside down, and
yet leave it as smooth as it was
before. Others consider that plow
the best which will move the largest
amount of earth with the least possible
exertion of man or beast.
Both are erroneous IDEAS. OF
course, in plowing sod land it is de-
sirable that the sod should be left
underneath and friable soil brought to
the surface, says Massachusetts,
Ploughman. For this wedge-shaped
plough is necessary, or wedge-shaped
so far as il goes down into the earth,
but when the plough begins 10 lift the
furrow slice it should also impart to it
turning motion, twist which will
not lay it nearly upside down, but
press against it in such a manner as
to break up the earth into minute
cracks, which will let the air into it
so that it will be partially pulverized
before the harrow is put into the
field.
To work with such plow, lifting,
turning and breaking up the furrow
slice all at one operation may add
something to its draught and require
more horse power, but it will save
something in the labor required at
narrowing, or give great value to it
by more thoroughly fitting the soil to
admit the action of air and moisture
and heat to make available the ele-
ment of plant food in it, as well as to
allow the plant roots to penetrate it
more readily in all directions.
But for plowing old ground the
plow which turns it over is not the
best plow, neither is the one which
will go over the largest area in n day.
Our ideal plow for this work would be
one which would take narrow fur
row slice, and instead of inverting it
rather set 1T up on edge, in which
position it would crumble more. be-
cause more Of the air and water and
sunshine would go down into it be-
tween the burrows, which being of
warm and dry earth on one side and
the moist and cooler soil from below
upon the other side. would be pulver-
lied by chemical action in a short
time, instead Of baking in the SUMS
rays, as does the under soil when the
earth is turned over perfectly smooth.
The action of the harrow then is to
still more stir it up and Tighten it, in
stead OF packing it solidly below the
depth to which the harrow goes.
