A Washington exchange reports that
the receipt of applications for patents
on inventions are larger now than they
have been in any other years savelS96-
81. which were the banner years. Last
month there were 3,647 applications re-
ceived at the patent office, nearly 1000
in excess of May, 1893. Judging from
receipts, the largest invention work is
now being done in the mechanical and
chemical lines. A significant decline
has been in progress in bicycle inven-
tions. Patent Office officials interpret
ing this significant decline, say that it
puts bicycles on par with other ve-
hicles as large but steady industry.

At Santa Ana, CAL. there is celery
garden of 500 acres. 1t belongs to a
commission house in Kansas City and is
on leased ground. The location was a
peat swamp three years ago, but they
drained it and proved that it was par
ticularly adapted to the cultivation of
celery. Last year they shipped SEQ car
loads of celery to New York from this
one tract alone, the product Of 500
acres, and it natures SO early in the
spring-in February and March--that
1t makes very profitable crop.

AFrench doctor has been trying some
interesting experiments with typhoid
fever germs, and it is announced in an
English print that he has made at least
one very important discovery. This
is that the germs do not survive short
period of Judgement in the juice of the
apple, and he advises, therefore, that
those who live in infected places should
mix little cider with water before
drinking it. This discovery, too. will
doubtless confirm the belief held by
many that apples are febrifuge; they
are certainly n most agreeable one.

Three game cocks were brought back
from Porto Rico by Admiral Sampson
for his boys and placed at the Sampson
home at Glen Ridge. n. j. They had
records as fighters, and some care was
taken to keep them from attacking and
hurting little American bantam
which strutted around the place.
These precautions failed, however, and
the bantam killed two of the Spanish
chickens one after the other, and the
third roasted so high that it took the
admiral's sea glass to find him.

LETTERING DEMOCRATS.
Routine Commonplace Take the
Place of the Rampant
Declarations.

The big democratics state convention in
Pennsylvania was big only in numbers
and noise. The mountain labored and
produced mouse. The combined dem
ocratic intellect could only formulate a
platform which says:
"The democracy Of Pennsylvania, in con-
vention assembled, again renewing our
pledges of fidelity and devotion to the sa-
cred rights of the people, true to the faith
and principles of our party as declared in
the platforms of our several national con-
ventions and proud of our matchless lead
er, William Jennings Bryan, realize that
the issues involved in the coming campaign
in Pennsylvania are honest government,
clean politics and the redemption of our
state from republican misrule and corrup-
ton"
Not word about 16 to /, not word
about national expansion, not word
about those cherished declarations of
the Chicago platform! Only the routine
commonplace about the sacred rights
of the people," "the faith and principles
of our party" "the redemption of the
state from republican misrule and cor
ruption," and pride in our matchless
leader" Every fad of the "matck.ess
leader" was studiously ignored. 1t was
Bryan convention without 16 to and
anti-expansion, which are Bryan's
stock in trade. AS one of the leaders
well expressed it, the platform is "a
teeter board upon which all may ride"
AS the convention Endorsed the plat
forms of all the conventions, state and
national, no delusion of belief will pre-
vent its possessor from lettering on the
board. Our matchless leader" him.
self seems inclined to teeter. In a
recent interview with him he thinks
"the campaign is too far away for an

The conversion Of the world, of Ha-

America is the richest nation in the
world; English-speaking Hawaii is
the richest part Of that richest nation.
Not long since a keenly observant
English visitor told us, in the chastely
severe dialect Of his native island that

truth. And that is also true Of Eng
