is not in favor of highbinding. How
could il be with men like All Lo. Wong

membership? What we want is to teach
the people of China to support the En-
peror against the Empress Dowager.
We don't want a revolution or blood

Empress Dowager kilograms and mem
orials when anything goes wrong and
stay her hand. That is the way we
have been doing and if it had not been
for that. the Emperor would have lost
his life long ago. Meantime We will
organize the Chinese people and give
them ideas of progress.

KAWAIAHAo CEMETERY.
Rapid Transformation Under Gov.
Cleghorn's Hands.

Kawaiahao church cemetery, which
was once as desolate burial ground as
the city afforded. has been made clean
and comedy and is going to be made
beautiful by Ex-Governor Cleghorn,
whom the trustees of the church some
time ago asked to take charge Of it.
Governor Cleghorn collected dozens
of loads of rubbish from the grounds
and had them carted away. The place
once cleared he began laying out walks
which were dressed with black sand,
and fencing in number Of small grave
plats. Artesian water was procured
and ,his is now being carried about
the spacious grounds where j. will
soon be the means of starting shrubs,
trees and flowers. Thus encouraged,
private hands are likely to do much in
the way of adornment.
The old cemetery. now that il is made

GREAT INVENTIONS.
All Kinds Have Always Had Several
Applicants for Patents.

All Kinds Have Always Had Several
Applicants for Patents.
"a man in my line Of business said
q local attorney who makes a special
ty of patents has an exceptional op-
portunity for finding out that great
minds run in the same direction. 1t is
a remarkable fact that fully seven
eighths OF the important mechanical
appliances OF the past 20 years have
been the subject Of litigation on The
ground OF priority Of invention. In al
most every instance It was clearly
shown that different people sometimes
as many as five OF six, were at work
on the same idea at the same time,
each unknown 10 the other. A some-
what plausible explanation has been
advanced for these remarkable coinci-
dences." continued the lawyer. 1T is,
in brief, that certain universal needs
suggest similar trains of thought 70
active minds, and, in searching for the
best remedy. they fall insensibly into
the same channel.
This is only another way of saying
that necessity IS the mother Of inven-
ton, but II Is hard to apply the theory
to scores of devices that were certain
~ not the subject OF any specific de-
mand. Take the telephone, for in
stance. AT the time Prof Bell was
perfeoting his instrument at least three
other inventors were developing tho
same thing, and he beat them TO the
Patent Office by mere scratch.
/ Everybody remembers the long ana
bitter contest that ensued, and I be-
licve. personally, that each of the
parties to It was I'm entire good faith,
although Il is almost impossible to con-
vince an inventor. under such circum-
stances, that there has been no fraud.
Every man believes firmly that the
other fellows have stolen his idea The
arc light. the incandescent light, the
N-ray apparatus, the typewriter and
the gas engine are a few Of the big
things I call to mind at random in
which there was the same coincidence
of thought Two of the latest and
most remarkable instances in point are
wireless telegraphy and liquid air.
The fundamental principles of both
were old and had been experimental
with and discarded as impractical.
Then suddenly, otter the lapse OF
years, two groups OF inventors began
the task Of development. In wireless
telegraphy Marconi had three rivals.
one an American. but he was fortunate
enough to get out his patents ahead
of the others. Who built the first sue
cessful liquid air apparatus is at pres
ant In dispute, and two companies. each
headed by a claimant are now in full
blast in New York. IL ever you have
an extra good idea you would do well
to secure the protection Of a patent
without delay 1t is so TO that some
other chap is pegging away at exactly
the same thing."-N. o. Times-Demo-

treasure was concealed. His master

MILKING MACHINE.

Forty Cows Per Hour.


Forty Cows Per Hour.
Tests have been conducted on the
large dairy farms around Sycamore,
ILL.,, recently, Of milking COWS by ma
ohinery, which are pronounced a sue
cess. The machine consists of an air
pump worked by footpower. two pieces
Of rubber hose and eight suction bulbs,
which surround the eight teats of the
two COWS to be MIXED. The eight bulbs
greatly resemble telephone receivers.
They are nearly hollow, but in one
place a soft rubber band nearly clos
as the opening. When the teat Is placed
In the opening and the pump starts the
suction causes the rubber lining to
closely surround the parts, and the
milk IS carried to the pail about four
feet away. 1t requires but three min
utes TO milk two cows, or at the rate
IF 40 cows an hour. Speed is not the
only advantage, as there Is little dan
ger Of the teats becoming sore, as the
rubber surrounding them IS soft as
silk. Cleanliness is another great ad-
vantage. IT IS very superior to any
milking machine ever before placed
upon the market. The inventor, a man
Of the name of Nehring, is personally
demonstrating its merits.

MIsAPPL1ED INSURANCE MONEY.
Life Insurance companies have mil
lions upon millions OF money invested
in speculative stocks.
When the stocks depreciate one point
the resources Of these life insurance
companies are impaired TO the extent Of
hundreds OF thousands Of dollars
It is moral crime, and it should be
legally a crime to thus risk the funds
that ought to be sacred. They are not
accumulated for speculative purposes.
Where there is any element Of specu-
lation, there is an equally potent ele-
ment CT financial danger.
Moneys invested in life insurance
policies become a trust than which
none is more sacred. They are laid
away to protect helpless widows and
helpless children from want. poverty
and suffering They cannot be too
carefully guarded or too closely Sc
cured. The guardian Of life insurance
funds acts for dead men; net for ac-
live and resourceful men Of
business. II the Investment is
wasted the investor cannot re-
cover the loss by renewed energy. skill
in business or harder work II is
wasted forever, and the helpless widow
and her helpless babes are east upon
the world destitute TO hunger. SILVER
wander homeless and suffer.
II is forbidden savings banks that
deal with the living, who are able to
labor and earn, to invest the proceeds
toll entrusted to them In anything that
10 the slightest extent wants stable
and secure value. Life insurance funds
are supremely moro sacred, and the Of
fcers and directors OF life insurance
companies have no more moral right
to invest these sacred funds in stocks
that fiuctuate or are liable to nuctuat'
than thoy have to risk them at faro
roulette or draw poker. Every stool
that is bought and Sold or listed upor
the exchanges for purchase or sale, g.
hucuating security, and therefore
without security.
When a life insurance company in
vests in speculative stock and thai
stock depreciates one dollar on {
share. the directors Of that compan,
have robbed the dead and his bereave,
family Of that dollar.
There are millions Of stocks held By
life insurance companies, and the lat
Wall street panic squeezed millions on
OF the value Of those stocks.
There is not a railway or manufac
turing. banking, mining or industrial
stock that offers a secure investmen
for life Insurance reserve funds. Gov
eminent bonds or real estate offer alb
solute security; stocks none.
