JACOBS.

John Jacobs has received a large
shipment of candies. In fact he re-
ceived one of the largest shipments of
candies ever brought to the city and
has more than two tons stored away
ready for his large trade. His place is
located on Front street. just one door
south of George Wieser's. and every
body is invited to call before making
their purchases, as the prices he gives
on large quantities of candies and fruits
are far below what any one else can
offer. He has a fine line of select bas-
kets, which he fills at lowest price.

ENGLAND'S POSTAL WORK.
united states Agent Says 1t Far
Surpasses That of
America

George w. Beavers, chief of the sal
aries and allowance division of the
United States post office department,
has completed his Investigate ton of the
English postal system and has gone
to Paris, where he is to institute the
American postal station at the ex-
position.
'England's postal service" he said,
Wis better than that of the United
States. in so far as London is CON
cerned. The delivery of mail in this
city. | find, is more expeditions than
in Chicago or New York, fact due
to the larger number OF clerks and
carriers employed here. We need
about 25 per cent. more employees to
make the American service in the
large centers of population what it
ought to be.
Our rural delivery, on the other
hand, is much better than that in
England. The post office department
here concentrates its resources for
London's benefits. while all the mail
for the small towns is sent to the dis
trct distributing office; whereas, in
the United States we send all mail
direct to its destination. | am COM

employees do as much before nine

ployes of the same grade do all day"

HAVE A DIFFICULT TASK.
Spies I'm the British Army Run Many
Risks and Are Ever known
to Each Other.

One of the most difficult tasks of the
British commanders in South Africa
is to secure the services of trustworthy
spies who can furnish reliab BILE informa-
ton of the situation and movements of
the enemy. Out of every ten spies en-
ployed by the British officer command
ing war district he is fortunate if
one gives him truthful information.
1t is. most important thing that spies
should not be known to each other.
Great care is taken by officers that
each one shall imagine that he is the
only one which is employed. 1t is very
necessary that all genuine spies should
have about their person some means of
proving themselves really to be what
they represent. For this purpose a coin
of a certain date, Bible of certain
edition, a Testament with the ninth or
twentieth leaf torn out are generally
employed.
by TINS means Il spy who was en-
ployed by an officer in a neutral state.
making his way TO the headquarters
OF the army in the field, could at once
make himself known to the intelli-
gence department there. In some in
stances it is considered that a pass
word or sign should be employed. as it
is less compromising.

CONNECTICUT LEADS
The New England State Heads the
Country In It's Long List of
Patents.

The annual report of the commits
sioner of patents for the year ending
December 81, 1899, shows that the
total receipts of the Office amounted
to $1,325,457. After 5educting the ex-
penditures for the year there was
surplus of $113,673. The patent Office
has now paid into the treasury
$5,086,649 more than it has drawn out.
The number of patents issued, in
GLIDING designs and reissues, was 2a,-
SEA- number but once exceeded. The
number of patents expiring during the
year were 1875.
In proportion to the population
more patents were issued to citizens
of Connecticut than to those of any
other state-one to every GAS iilhab-
itants. The report deals largely with
the work of classification divisions
and sets forth at length the system
adopted. The object of classification
is to reduce the immense number OF
inventions into classes and subclasses
of convenient size, capable of clear
separation and definition and based
rpon system sufficiently elastic to
provide for future growth.
Attention is called to the lack OF
room and to the great loss that would
occur if the records of the office were
destroyed by fire. The commissioners
approves bill pending in congress
providing for the construction of a
fireproof building for the use of the
patent office, including a hall of in
ventions. Legislation is recommend
ed limiting the number of appeals in
"merit" and interference" cases, and
the practice of keeping applications
for patents in the Office for an in
definite number of years is objected
to as tending to stifie the progress
of invention. The issuance of patents,
the report says, would be greatly ex-
pedited by legislation limiting the
number of appeals. Congress is asked
to amend the trademark statutes so
as to provide for the registration OF
trademarks used in interstate COM

4 Number Of Instances which show
That Sex IL No Bar to Prac-
tical Prospecting.

Practically mining does not seem to
suggest itself as a field in which women
can achieve distinction, but the con-
stantly increasing number of woman
mine owners in Colorado and other
mining states, proves that there is no
reason why the women of the future
will not compete with men on equal
ground in this important department
of industry, says the Denver Repub-
lican. Many mines in Colorado are
owned by women and some are even
directed by their feminine owners, who
have quickly adapted themselves to
the work.
Two or three years ago a school
teacher, while spending her vacation
in Arizona, located some promising
claims through her knowledge of ge-
ology. She secured some good speci-
mems, sold her locations in Denver, and
then turned professional prospector
She has followed the business with
persistence and intelligence, and is now
making most excellent livelihood,
with good prospects of securing for
tune. Seattle exchange recently re-
corded the sale of two groups of mines
located by woman in the Kalso (B. c.
district. The location had been made
by the woman and she had stood by
them for seven years until she finally
negotiated sale. She secured 1925, 900
as her share, the buyers being English
and French capitalists.
Such instances prove that sex is no
bar to practical prospecting, and in a
few years the report of the labor COM
missioner may show the army of wom-
en- workers materially increased by a
large number of feminine mineralo-
gists, chemists, prospectors and mine
owners.

LONG-LOST SHELL.
Still In Good Order When Taken
from the Water After Forty
Four Years.

The longest time that is known to
have elapsed between the firing of a
shell and its explosion is Al years
Recently a shell which had been fred
into the Russian harbor of Sebastopol
during the Crimean war at least "A
years ago was hauled up by some
fishermen, and it exploded on being
taken from the water, killing oneeo of
the men and wounding several of the
others, Notwithstanding the long
period which had elapsed since it had
left the British gun which fired it.
Finds of shells are exceedingly dam
gerous, if they happen to be unex-
ploded ones, as similar accident
happened not long since at Bolton le-
Sands, where dredger named Will
son fished up one that had been fired
from the artillery camp at Bare. and
took it home. An attempt to break
it up cost him an eye, a foot aud a
broken head, besides causing serious
damage to property.

BORE LIKE GIMLETS.
The Lee-MetfOrd Bullet Could Go
Through an Entire Company
of Soldiers.

The lee-metford bullet is about four
times as long as it is thick, and to keep
it straight in its flight it has to be
made to rotate at tremendous rate
by the riAing of the gun. Obviously,
this long, narrow bullet meets with
much less resistance nom the air than
the old spherical ball of the smooth
bore musket, says the Cincinnati En-
quirer.
But the swift rotation has another
effect. When the bullet strikes man
it bores its way in like gimlet, and
nothing can stop it. AS the bullet
leaves the muzzle it is twisting on its
axis 133,200 times per minute. That
is the rate with ordinary powder When
cordite is used the bullet is made to
revolve no less than $4,000 times per
minute, or 2,400 times per second.
Sometimes, however, this rapid rev.
olution brings about curious results
If it gets the least bit out of the
straight line it has a tendency to
glance off when it strikes hard or
tough object. This accounts for those
miraculous escapes one hears of in all
battles.
A lee-metford bullet striking but
ton or soldiers belt or notebook or
coin in the pocket, when it has the
slightest detection from straight
line, is pretty sure to glance off with
out doing any harm.
1t may even penetrate the skin of
the chest, and on meeting with a rib
turn aside without doing further mis-.
chief. Yet if this same bullet had
struck perfectly straight it Would
have, been able to penetrate the ribs
of whole company one after another.
