BEGINNING of the System,

After the burning of the building the pat.
ent office was placed In a private building
for a time, but was located. about 1920, at
the east end of the general post Office on it's
restoration. In 1928 Thomas P Jones was
the commissioner of the patent Office, and
he was succeeded by Dr. John D. Gray, who
held the office until 1886, when there was a
reorganization of the office with H. L. Ellis
worth as commissioner. The additional
force consisted of ]. W. Hand. chief clerk;
c. NJ. Keller. examiner: Henry Stone.
craftsman; Thos. Johns, in charge of files,
&C.; J. ]. Roane, clerk; Hazard Knowles,
machinist, and Henry Bishop, messenger.

Building Constructed.
1t was under Colonel Capron that the de-
partment building was erected, In 1868, on
the mall, and the force moved thereto.
The experimental farm was converted into
an arboretum. Since Colonel Capron's time
the commissioners have been Frederick
Watts of Pennsylvania, w. G. LIE Due of
Minnesota, George B. Loring Of Massa-
chusetts and N. ]. Colman Of Missouri.
II 1899. during the incumbency of
Mr. Colman. the institution became an
executive department, and for few
weeks he sat in Mr.. Cleveland's cabinet.
Following him ]. NJ. Rusk Of Wisconsin,
]. Sterling Morton of Nebraska and James
Wilson of Iowa have presided over the de-
partment. Now, including the weather bu-
reau, located at Path and NJ streets, there
are some twenty bureaus or divisions con-
nected with the department, tina entire force
in the District numbering about 5000.
The patent Office, from which it sprung,
has in the meantime grown from a small
establishment. with less than a dozen en-
ployes. to a bureau. the force numbering
between 600 and 700. and. like the Agricul-
tural Department, has become a most i'm
portant institution of the government.

THE PLAGUE AT HONOLULU.
Major Taylor Says There Has Been

Surgeon General Sternberg has received
a report from Major Blair D. Taylor of the
medical department, under date of Homo

his last report there has been one death.
from the bubonic plague, a Chinaman, and
one suspect-the clerk of the Hawaiian
Hotel. The latter case, he says, is much
better, and there is a strong belief that
1t is only an ordinary case of pneumonia.
Major Taylor says there has been no spe-
cial change in the situation. A case crops
out every now and then, here and there,
and he says this condition will probably
continue for some time to come. One death
from the plague has also been reported
from the Island Of Maui, but no more from

TESTING A NEW SHELL.
fke Isham ProiectIle Astonishes .
 Number of Experts.

The first considerable quantity of high explosive to be fired from an or dinary gun against armor was sent against 12-inch Haryeyized plate at the Sandy Hook proving grounds re- gently. The projectile was a shell in- vented by Willard s. Isham, carrying 12912 pounds of explosive gelatine and weighing, loaded, little more than 1000 pounds. It was fired from an or dinary 12-ineh sea-eoast defense gun, with reduced charge, so that the velocity of the projectile at the plate was about the same as If it had been fired with full service charge of pow der at distance of two miles. The plate was backed with square oak beams and 20 feet of sand. The beams were so arranged as to represent more strength than the ordinary framing be- hind the armor of a battleship To make the test conform yet more to the condition of firing against an armored battleship, the plate was set at an angle of 45 degrees to the line of fire
 There is no form of armor-p piercing shell made that will perforate Harvey ized arnor plate set at that angle, aud it was not expected that the Isham shell would penetrate it. h fact, there was considerable diversity of opinion as to just what 1t would dc. and a good many persons were interested in the results of yesterdays test. There was still doubt as to what had happened when the testing party started for the scene of the explosion from the firing point. The thick. dark smoke from the explosion of the shell showed that the full energy of its contents had not been developed, owing to an imperfect detonatton. If perfectly detonated, a perfectly white smoke is made. h spite of the imperfect detel= =-l=the plate of aFmor was dented in about two inches and was blown through its oak backing and through a corner of tie hfg sand pile, II feet from where t Lad been set up.-A5e~ York Sun.

JUSTICE IN CHINA.
Story of Ii Hung Chang and Would
 Re Prisoners.


 Of Ii Hung Chang numberless sto- ries are told in Chinese society. Now and then one reaches this country through our consuIs fn China. On one occasion when the premier was having 2 bitter fight with some Of the more conservative menhers of the tsung-li- yamen he received as a present a mag ni6cent cake, which he had reason to suspect contained poison. He put the cake aside and set all his powerful machinery to work to find out who was at the bottom of the plot. The Investigation was partly successful, the
 rfme being traced to three men, of whom one, at least. was absolutely guilty. Ii had the trio arrested anu brought to his yamen. When they ar rived they were ushered into his pres enee and were received in his courtli- est manner. The cake was produced, With the remark that "politeness for bade his tasting it until the three generous donors had had an opportun- ity to enjoy it's excellence" Lii cut the cake and one of his servitors handed it to the unwilling guests. Each took piece and ate,s or pre- tended to eat it. One crumbled the pieces and let them fall upon the floor, but the other two ate calmly, without manifesting any emotion. Ten minu- utes and the two men began to show symptoms of suffering. Ii smiled be- dlgnantly and said to the man who had not eaten: Your wisdom is so great that I am compelled to pre- serve your head as souvenir to transcendent genius" The man was removed and promptly decapitated. To the other two the premier remarked . The cake that you are eating is not the one you sent me, but one which l had my cook initiate. The" poison from which you are suffering exists only in your imagination. I know of no way to cure your present pain ex- eept by letting you share the same fate as your friend who has just left the room. As they were led away the statesman said to his retfnue: sIt is pity that a man who can eat a deadly corrosive poison with an un- moved counteHance should So misapply the talent v5harevith hRa-rr fae e-.

HIS GRAVE NEGLECTED.
The Resting Place of Charles Dickens Is
 Virtually Unmarked.

From the London Mail: The sugges- to Charles Dickens should be erected in one of the public places of this city. It is not at all likely that the proposal, however warmly it might be supported by the English people, will ever be carried into effect, for any such scheme of perpetuation would be in direct op- position to the expressed wish of the novelist, who desired by his work alone to live in the heart of his countrymen. The will of Charles Dickens, from which the following lines are taken, very clearly ssed the masters wishes: ''+ my friends, on no account to ~ -a Cae subject of any monument erial or testimonial, whatever I sa ny claims to the re- membrane o1 my country upon my published works and to the remem- brance. Of my friends upon their ex- perience of me in addition thereto. :" To this wish the members of the fami- ly have always given the strongest adherence and have already diseoun. tenaneed and will continue to 6iseour- age any attempt to set the provision of the will at naught. Some years ago Edwin Elwell, a gifted American seulD- tor, completed in marble 8 fuii-IeEgtb portrait figure Of the novelist, with Little Nell looking upward to the face Of her creator. This charming group the sculptor offered to the London county council for erection in some suitable place in London, but owing to the attitude of the family who, ont of respect to the wishes of the novelist, refused to countenance the movement, the offer was declined. In these cir e8mstanees it is hardly probable that any memorial, at feast of a pubttc char aeter, will be attempted.

MORE ENGLISH IRON.
Timely Discovery at Kent In the Dover
 Coa4feId.

G0a3heBds
 When tie coal boring was put down at Dover about six or eight years ago, by Mir. r. Brady, on the site of the old Channel tunnel works, there were indi- cations in the cores of the presence of iron ore in the strata between 500 and 500 feet from the surface. The indiea- tiens have now proved correct, says the London Chronicle. In the course of sinking=the No.2 shaft bed of valu- able eolltie iron ore has just been struck at depth of rather less than zee feet. The seam proves to be no less than twelve feetthiek and probably exs tends over 8 great area. the quantity being practically unlimited. The Giam- ster of the shaft is twenty feeE and the quantity brought to the surface in passing through the twelve feet mounted to about $50 tons. Samples af=the ore have been submitted to anal Eazs. with highly satisfactory results. a washed sample ef the ore yielding 45.S fef cent of iron. On visiting the co., tiezy works today I inspected 3 consid- ala.ssss dtflk Of the ore and the mana ger Informed me that a washed sample testet1 at the works yielded between 50 and co Fer cent o2 iron. The analysis shows that the ore is free from sul- nhnr and phespheras.. The ore is stat a0 to De of much richer quality thar 4he Wealden ifonstene. worked in Kent end Sussex a century ago. Prof Boyd Bawkins in paper read before the British association in 1894, described | sample obtained from the original boring. From this 1t appears that this bed Of iron ere is identical with that described by Blake and Hudleston at Ahbotsbury. in Dorset, where it occurs between the Kimmeridge clay above and the C9rallian rocks below It is also practically identical with the val aahle iron ore worked for many years in EEestbury, Wiltshire. The ironstone presents very singular physical char acteristics. It is composed of dark brown. shining grams Of hydrated OK, idle of iron, like millet seed, imbedded In crystalline base, partly of cal eium aud partly of iron carbonate.

THE KIPU.
Bunch of Strings Used by the Ancisnes
 to Keep Accounts.

Dr. Max | lle. distinuished Ger man scientist. has been for many years engaged in archaeological ex- plorations in Peru. He now ret ms to that country under the auspices of the American Exploration society, for the purpose of clearing some of the unsolved problems of the ancient eiy- tliZation of the Ineas and to complete a collection for the museum of the University Of California. He hae made a similar collection for the Uni- versity of Pennsylvania Dr. Uhle proposes to remain two years in Peru to complete his work. Among other i important discoveries of Dr. Uhle is the kipu, a collection of knotted strings of different eolors, which were used by the people of the ancient civiliza- tions of Peru, Ecuador and Bolivia for the purpose oF keeping accounts. They had no written language and no sys- tenn of figures. Their arithmetic con sisted solely of little knotted strings. Among the primitive villages of tho Andes the descendants of the Ineas depend upon the kipu for keeping ac- counts, and Dr. Uhle was 50 fortunatt as to discover them in the hands of Indian herdsmen, who used them SO skillfully that they gre abe to make q record of every animal. every bushei of feed and arttele=of property that is intfusted to thetr care. The eol9rs of the different stff0es represent differ- ent articles, such as =3afley, corn. sheep, rams. ewes, =fanha. horses, etc, while the knots, by their size and dis taHee from each other express hun. dreds tens and units. ia such a man.
