1t is said that more patents were
granted to West Virginians in 1898
than in any one year in the past de-
cade. All were useful devices and
their originality was creditable to
the states brains; and, as many of
them we're for marking lumber and
other things characteristic of the
state chief resources, which include
timber, coal, oil and gas, the old
adage that necessity is the mother
of invention" was strikingly exem-
plified. Proof positive of the state
stride in this direction is shown in
the fact that Wheeling boasts of a
Patent Attorney, H. f. Dunlap,
whose business has grown marvel
ously, and whose clientage is con-
fined chiefly to West Virginia invent
ors, who previous to the opening Of
an office in this state were forced tc

Wake Island
Is a Freak

WASHINGTON, D. c., Jan. 26.-In
many respects the freakiest of the
more than !, 400 islands of which Uncle
Sam has come into possession as a re-
suit of the war is Ecueil or Halcyon,
or Wake island, as it is more commonly
Known
'Presto Change! Now you see it!
Now you don'tw
So saith Prestidigitator Neptune. For.
alasl this new possession is an island
one day, another a treacherous reef
hidden beneath an enticing sea. Need
less to say, it has never been inha bited
by human beings, at least not within
the memory of mariners or explorers.
How, then, can any one dwell there for
the protection and preservation of In
Gle Sans interests? That is the Dues
ton which only Yankee ingenuity can
solve. To make human habitation pos
sible, not alone to say comfortable,
upon this lonely spot there must be 6.

tants of the keys were pile dwellers
When it was announced the other
day that we would claim Wake island,
there was to be found in Washington
no one who could venture any informa-
ton as to its history. The photographic
office, the governments bureau of in
formation concerning islands, had
ncught save a few lines giving latitude.
longitude and sailing directions. Since
then, however, your correspondent has
persiStently ransacked libraries and
old records with some success. In an
old volumne of charts kept in the Ii
brary Of congress was found q map of
the disappearing island. Moreover. the
war department contained among its
records a brief description Of it in a
letter written by Brig. Gen. F. v.
Greene, who planted an American flag
there last Fourth of July. Accompany
ing this letter is a rough sketch of the
southern part of the island, drawn
from a compass survey made by two
army officers. Compared with the
chart in the congressional library, this
sketch suggests that Father Time must
have wrought many changes in the out
lines of the dot of land
Wake island was first discovered from
the deck Of the British ship Prince Will
liam Henry in 1895. There is a tradi-
ton that it was christened Wake in
honor of British naval officer Of that
name, but all the Wakes in the official
list of the British navy fiourished a

Gate of discovery. In 1S41 the United
States exploring expedition under Capt
Wilkes sighted the little sand hill and
explored it. The old French charts call
it ''Ecueil, which means rock" while
some English charts label it "Halcyon."
In fact, there would never have been
any point of land in this lonely spot
had natures original intentions been
carried out. The coral insect is re-

point is only fifteen feet above sea lev
ell. Thus is required only a moderately
rough sea to submerge it. Therefore,

Argument for q New Trial In a Dam

ST. CLOUD, Jan. 2S.-(SpeciaI.l-In the
district court today, a motion for new trial
was argued in the case of Ole Swedberg
against Alfred Lillberg. The case was up
for trial at the last term CT court, when
Swedberg brought action for the alleged
alienation of the affections of his wife, plac-
ing the. damages at the sum Of So, coo. Swed-
berg attempted to prove a case against ILL
berg by the testimony Of Mrs. Swedberg.
Judge Searle ruled that the testimony Of a
wife under such circumstances was not ad-
missible, = and instructed the Jury to bring in
a verdict for the defendant. The claim IN
the motion for a trial is ade that such
testimony is admissible, and should be allow
ed. The motion for anew trial was taken
under advisement. The parties live at Mel

NEW YORK. Jan. J2s.-The Financier says:
Estimates as to the amount of cash gained
by the New York clearing house banks for
the week ending Jan. e2I were very much at
variance with the actual results disclosed
by Saturdays statement. Treasury figures
proved that the operations for the past six
DAYS were against the banks by nearly or
quite $500 COO The interior movement had
been counted upon to swell cash totals about
s., coo, COO. instead OF that, however, the re-
ported gain was no less than S7,679,s 800, OF
which Sc, Al. 800 was in the form of specie.
Obviously this expansion does not represent
exclusively interior receipts. This conclusion
is borne out by the fact that one large bank
alone reports increase of nearly S. 000. 600
in gold or almost 90 per cent of the total
cash gains for the week. In other words the
increase of 5000, 600 in loans by all the banks
brought down the reserves of some individual
gains in the average surplus holdings
The deposits, owing to the loan and cash
expansion, show an increase of s12,56S. AGO.
bringing the total to $685., 637, SEQ, figure al
together unprecedented. Despite the increased
reserve requirements the surplus is 81, 500 600
higher than week ago. and is now $50, 2S2 :
OBS.
such statement forecasts but one condi-
tion-a continued easy money market, accom-
panied, probably, by further manifestations
of the expansion which has been prominent
factor for some weeks past. Still the policy
of the banks is one of conservatism, and
they are not making extraordinary efforts to
employ their surplus in any but secure chan
nels. The spirit OF Discrimination against
over-infated collateral is based on soundest
Judgment, and while the institutions have
not profited on the present uprise in values
they are in a position where they can di-
rect to a large extent, the course of future
speculation in safe directions. In the opin-
ion of some conservative operators, the pres
ent condition of the money market is render
ing imperative some changes in existing bank
practices as applied to the flow and ebb of
money to and from this center"
