The system is weakened in win

FLAGRANT RED TAPE.
Ladysmith's Mayor is Asked to Pay

A fragrant exhibition of alleged govern

during the siege of Ladysmth when food
ran short civilians We're necessarily
thrown upon the resources of the impe-
rial government for supplies.
The commissarat department were not
authorized to feed the civilian popua-
ton of Ladysmith, which during the
siege numbered about 800, and so it was
found necessary to ask the mayor of
Ladysmith to give his personal guaran-
tee that in case of Il demand for COM

government. he would find the money in
payment for the food consumed
OF course il was ncvc- supposed for a
moment that the imperial government

as to demand payment for the supplies.
but it now appears that this demand has
been made in the most peremptOry man.

been asked to pay several thousand

THE BALL BEARING.
How a Southern Lad Missed Making
g. Fortune.


"Apropos of Inventions" said New
Orleans lawyer who does a good deal of
patent office business. iii tell you a
curious little story which is absolutely
true and has never seen print. Nearly
quarter of century ago a 12-year-old
boy was watching the moving of a heavy
piece of furniture at his home in this
city, when it occurred to him that the
castOrs upon which it rolled were very
clumsy contrivances and might be i'm
proved. He was bright boy, with a
taste for mechanics and drawing, and
turning the matter over in his mind, he
instead Of a wheel. The ball, he argued
could turn in any direction in socket
and would be a great improvement over
the Old-faShiOned castor. So he proceed
ed to make a drawing of the device and
showed it to his father. who thought so
well of it that he went to see a lawyer
with view of having it patented. The
lawyer was an eminent man in his pro-
feSsiOn and an advocate Of great ability,
but he knew nothing whatever of me-
chanics. and when he looked at the draw
ing the thing struck him as being i'm
practicable Why, this will never work
i'll the world he said. The pressure on
top of the ball would keep it from turn
ing If he had stopped to think he might
have realized that the same argument
could be applied to the axle of a wheel
bat his off-hand opinion nipped the pat
ent in the bud, and the father told his
son that the plan wasn't feasible. That
ended it, and four or five years later
some fellow in New England patented
exactly the same idea and proceeded to
make a huge fortune. The device which
the boy originally thought out is known
as the ball bearing and is unquestion-
ably one of the greatest and most useful
mechanical inventions of the age. 1t is
employed in everything. from bicycles to
12-inch gun mounts. The lawyer who
said it wouldn't work is now dead and
the boy himself is clerk at perhaps
$1,000 a year. He still has the drawing
and showed it to me only the other day.
