terests here unless you are so foolish
as to refuse to deal with us, | named
FIVE thousand dollars, to be sure, but
IL you agree to make the sale promptly
and quietly we shall pay you all that
in our judgment you can fairly expect
under the new conditions, you I'M
derstand, OF our line of manufacture"
Are you prepared to state what 10
the best offer l could expect?"
Really, no; not without your as
surance that such offer would be ac-
cepted by you in good faith"
1T seems to me, then, to speak
plainly, that the circumstances OF your
propostion-if you call 1t such
amount to violation of the rules OF
honest dealing"
ooh, not at all, Mr.. Blank. We stand
by honesty in our business, assure
you; and 1t Is always our wish to deal
fairly with the small proprietors. But
II they refuse to be dealt with, what
are we to do? We cannot leave these
little concerns about the country to
interfere with the proper and econor-
ical control Of our industrial depart
ment. We are really bound In the In
terest Of all concerned, and above all
for the manufacturing and commercial
supremacy of our great country, to
compel II necessary the submission OF
the entire production in our line to the
general control"
II understand, then, that unless I
am able to successfully defy the Con-
soldated Central, | must sell for
fraction Of Its true value the business
/ have been thirty years in building
up and must retire at flfty-fve to
poverty and involuntary idleness?"
why, really, Mr.. Blank, am sorry
to see you take 1t this way. hoped
you would feel inspired by the grand
future Of this business, with its multi
piled and cheapened production, its
successful invasion Of foreign markets,
and all that, and would enter heartily
into our plans. In that case we might
very likely offer you a position with
us. OF course, as you put 1t, 1t seems
a little hard, but progress must go on;
and 1t goes on the principle that might
makes right. The power to control Is
the sign Of fitness"
well, sir; I-ah-I hardly know
what to say to you now"
"Oh, take your time, Mr. Blank, take
your time. Call on me at my hotel this
evening, at eight, say. We don't want
to hurry you. But hope you will con-
clude on reflection to put yourself In
our hands. Good morning."

ReCOnt Inventions.

To insure the complete closure OF a
gas key when turning out the light an
improved lock has been designed, COM
prlslng a spring wire formed into a
double loop, which is pivoted In the
fixture and presses against the side OF
the key to force either side back
against its shoulder.
In a newly designed self-lgnitlng at
tachment for incandescent gas burn
ers the top Of the chimney Is fitted
with mica hood, having a hole in one
side in which piece OF spongy plati-
mum Is suspended, with a fiat plate
balanced on bar to be lifted by the
gas and close the hole after the gas Isl
lighted by the platinum.
A combined tobacco pipe and whistle
has been patented by an Englishman,,
having the mouthplece screwed into
the end OF tube, with an opening in
the top Of the tube, in which a ball
valve is placed to close the opening,
when smoking, the ball rising when air
is forced in to blow the whistle.
To insure a cut of the same depth
on opposite sides OF board new saw

Recent Inventions.


Writing In Casters Magazine on
culture Steam Speeds at Sea-" Mr.. j.
II. Oldham says; AS to the speed Of
the future remember reading an ar
tlcle on mechanical lmposslblllties
written about twenty-five years ago.
II was well written and possibly II was
generally correct, but one operation
which was cited as impossible of ac-
complishment, was that of propelling
a steamer at the rate of twenty-five
miles an hour across the ocean. At
that time the Atlantic had never been
crossed by screw steamer at 30 high
rate as fifteen miles an hour, the
Scotia being the fastest liner In those
days, she having crossed the Atlantic
ut an average rate Of IA l-3 knots.
Stenming across the ocean at the rate
of twenty-five miles an hour might,
therefore, well have been looked upon
ut that date as impossible, but today
there are steamers which have reached
that speed, and there are others In
course Of construction which may
probably exceed that rate across the
Atlantic, Although, roughly speaking,
the power required to propel steamer
varies with the cube of the speed, yet
before third Of the next century ex-
plres, another increase Of at least 80
per cent in ocean speed may safely be
prophesled. How this Is to be accom-
pllshed II would be too hazardous to
attempt to surmIse; but may point
out how | think II will not be done,
and that is by carrying and handling
5000 tons Of bunker Goals In hull
drawing nearly 500 feet of water, The
model of the ocean mail steamer OF
the next century will probably be that
Of very much enlarged destroyer OF
great breadth and length and small
draught Of water forward. Lighter
and stronger materials will compose
the structure, which may be moved by
multiple propellers, possibly working
in tunnel, so that number Of wheels

actuated by rotary motors, as the sizes
Of screws shafts and engines even now
under construction are perilously
large; or the motive power may be
produced by compressed air or gas.
Then, the form Of least resistance
probably being discovered, the hull,
broad and light In comparison with the
augmented dimensions, will rise on top
Of the WAVES rather than pass through
them, The rolling and pitching may
be more severe than at present, but
with improved cabins and shortened
voyage the difference may not be no.
ticed The construction of steamer
of $4,000 tons will probably not trouble
the constructors Of the future nearly
as much as did the building Of the
Great Eastern those Of the past. There
will be infinitely less labor, both mem
tai and physical, than was required for
the construction of great ship In
those days.

The federal authorities have had a
lively time lately trying to suppress
radical newspapers. The favorlte
method continues to be to bring q
charge against the editor Of sending
obscene literature through the malls,
and by aid Of a packed jury and an ir-
responsible federal Judge to put the
disturber of the administrations Sc
renlty in jail Justice has pointed out
that every state where these federal
prosecutions are brought has laws
against printing obscene literature
But the local authorities never even
institute prosecutions against these
victims of federal aggression. The
charge Of mailing obscene matter"
is made, so that the case will come
up before federal court (whose Judge
is appointed and influenced from
Washington and the purpose Is to
stine criticism of the imperlallst
policy.
The case Of Walter Hurt, editor OF
the Calling Gun, Cleveland, Ohio, is
an illustration. His paper was not
molested until in February he at
tackled Hanna, exposing the senator's
unsavory record. Then he was ar
rested, charged in nine indictments
with mailing obscene literature; not
for libel, remember. After his arrest
he was told by one Of the postoflice
inspectors to see Hanna, as "he got
you into this trouble and can get you
out" But Mr.. Hurt did not "see
Hanna He is out on bail, and the
monthly issues Of the Calling Gun
are as lively as ever He promises
to give the administration tussle.
He announces his intention to fight
the case to a finish, making no efforts
to escape on technicalities, but fore
ing the administration to show Its
hand; a pralseworthy determination
for which he deserves great credit.
We wish him success in his fight.

Tourists In Scotland are sometimes
surprised to hear the name mist" APP
piled to what seems to them rather a
shower OF rain. The popularity OF a
Scotch mist Is that the drops Of mols-,
ture are very large and scattering.
This, according to the Investigations
OF Mr.. John Aitkln, is result Of the.
purity Of the air In the Highlands. An
ordinary mist, or fog in a dusty coun-
try or a smoky city, is dense because
the moisture has innumerable floating
particles to settle upon; but where the
air Is free from dust the fog nuclei are
widely separated and resemble minute
drops OF rain.

Renson OF tho Scarcity Of Rubber.


The scarcity Of rubber is matter
that attracts the attention of so many
different people, In so many lines OF
applied science, that some facts from
one Of the United States consular re-
ports bearing on the subject Will not
be amiss, The principal reason ad-
vanced to explain the lack Of rubber
is the great difficulty In securing,
enough men to go into the forests
along the Amazon and tap the trees.
There Is no immediate danger Of any
great shortage In the supply Of rubber,
but conservative opinion In the Anna
Zon district holds that there Is sure,
to be steady dlminutlon Of the OUT
put for two very cogent reasons; first,
the trees growing near the banks Of
the river are naturally the first to be,
tapped, and as result are now be-
coming exhausted the milk becoming
poorer every year; second, the river
banks have all been worked inland for +,
a distance of about three miles from
their banks and in order to reach the
fresh untouched rubber trees deeper In
the forest, much longer time and a.
very much larger number of men will
be required, The finest rubber forests
are now said to be along the Purus
river, one Of the large tributaries Of
the Amazon from the south.

before the patent authorities by an in
ventor Of Brooklyn, N. Y, who has
been granted patent. BY this de-
vice the act Of turning on the gas is
made to temporarily close an electric
circuit and establish connection be-
tween source of electricity and an
ignlting coil located near the tip of the
burner. The source Of the electricity
Is a battery which may be carried in
the hand, as shown, or may be con-
tanned in the handle Of lighter with
a jaw extension to engage the gas cock.
The essential feature Of this patent Is
the construction OF the cock, which Is
designated In such manner that one
part Is insulated from the other, and
by this means complete circuit may
be established through the part COM
prising the cock and the pipe to the
Jet and returning by means of an ex-
posed wire supported from the pipe
but thoroughly insulated from 1t. BY
this scheme any number of gas jets
may be put into operation one after
the other without the use OF match
or fame.

XMAS AT KINGS PALACE.
Crowds at the Two stores, Seventh
street and Market Place.

The foremost attraction at the main store
of Kings Palace just now is the great toy
store which occupies the entire building,
SO Seventh Street. Here are dolls. games,
books. and toys galore. q sight which has
thrilled the hearts of thousands Of little
ones during the last few weeks. This great
toy display Is said to be one of the greatest
in town. During the last few days this
store and the branch store at 715 Market
Space have been selling toys at reduction
of one-third, in order 10 make a clean
sweep before Christmas. Only few days
ago this firm purchased the entire stock
Of suits. wraps and furs OF NJ. Silver &
Co, of New York city, and offered 1t at
half price and less. and the Offering OF IL
has drawn immense crowds of people to
both stores. Shopping at Kings Palace IS
particularly convenient because all depart
ments are on the ground floor, obvlating
the necessity OF climbing stairs and wait
ing for elevators, and every one OF these
departments just now is filled with arLI-
cles suitable for giyiug-an practical, ser
viceable presents, and sure to be appre-
Ciated The establishment Of Kings Pal
ace dates back fifty years ago when this
city was but "a mudhole, and during these
years this firm has built up an immense
patronage and gained the confidence OF
thousands of people.
a great and most satisfactory feature OF
Kings Palace is the system OF premium
stamps, owned, controlled. and issued eX-
clusiyely by this establishment. Any ar
ticle of merchandise purchased TO the eX-
tent of 10 cents entities the purchaser to
one stamp an additional stamp being given
for every multiple of ten. Patrons are
not compelled to hll book before being
entitled to receive free of charge one OF
the thousand or more beautiful and useful
pdemiums, but viii be presented with pre-
miums on half filling book. Among the
premiums given away are sewing machines,
furniture of all kinds books, pictures, rich
designs in silyerware clocks, cameras,
musical instruments etc The house guar
antees the value Of not only every article
in its immense stock but also that OF the
numerous premiums lis presents TO its
patrons.
