REMARKABLE MEMORY.
superintendent of Patent Office Re
members All the Models.
Brooklyn Eagle.)


One of the most remarkable memories
on record is that of r.. c. Gill. the vet
eran superintendent of the model rooms
of the United States patent Office at
Washington.
Up to a few years ago the patent
laws of this country required all appli-
cantS for patents to make miniatur
copy of their invention and send it in
with their request for letter patent
When the applica ton was attended 10
the model was sent to the model rooms
and kept on exhibition there, whether
the patent was granted or refused In
TINS way an amazing array of m )delS
has been gathered in Washington and
so quickly did they begin to grow that
a few years ago new law had to be
passed dispensing with the necessity
for inventors to send in models Of their
ideas Yet for nearly 100 years the
models have been coming in, so that
the total humber of them today can
readily be imagined. They I'LL case af-
ter case on floor after floor of the pat

20 casual visitor. there thes task of
merely gazing at each model is a piece
of work that would require many days.
But TO examine each model in detail,
TO inquire into the workings of them all
and wonderfully complicated things
are large percentage of them-would
De a matter to drive most ordinary men
insane. Yet Mr.. Gill has not only
learned the workings of all the models.
but he remembers each so perfectly
that he can describe the workings of
each from memory, not bOthering to
hunt up the model itself. Further, he
can tell off-hand the exact year the
model was received although the mod
els are not chronologicaly arranged)
who the inventor was, whether he OBJ
tanned his patent or not, and in large
number of cases can tell some funny
yarns about the success or failure of
the inventions
10 thoroughly appreciate the value
OF Mr.. GilPs memory it should be stated
that these models number almost 700 =
90. and that they range in intricacy
from new sort of writing pen to a
/ complicated triple expansion engine for
the transatlantic steamer. Mr.. Gill
himself insists that there is nothing
phenomenal about his memory. and
says that any one could do Just as we'll
were he in the same position as him
self But this is because Mr.. Gill is ex-
traordinarily modest. Any visitor to the
MODEL rooms can prove the superin-
tehueht wonderful memory to his
own satisfaction

A NEW CLOCK FACE.
One Man Who Objects to the Time
pieces Now in General Use.

tEnldQelpllla tleCptG-y
Directing to the features of the clock
face which we have been consulting for
centuries. New England man is
attempting TO bring about change by
the introduction of a new system which
he thinks is more suitable for twenUi eth
century people This man is Samuel p
Thrasher OF New Haven. Conn, who
has developed a clock mechanism radi-
cally different from that in use at pres
ec>t
Mr.. Thrasher makes several Obiec-
tons to the present type of timepiece,
principal of which is the fact that there
is an embarrassment CT figures, which
hour indication, and, further, some of
ers are upside down, while some repose
on Their sides and others are placed at
various angles. Nh IhraSher's artistic
sense is very much disturbed at tbs,
and he wants to change il and sell
clocks of his own design. One of the
greatest recommendations for his pro-
posed innovation is that there are never
any unnecessary figures displayed.
There. are never more than four under
any circumstances. These always indi-
cate the time, and there is no POSSIBLE
ity of mistake, which he says often
arises from persons taking a hasty
glance at round dial and thinking II
is nineteen minutes past the hour when
it is really twenty-four minutes after.
The second hand travels across a half
circle divided into sixty parts, so that
the necessity of placing any figures up
side down is also avoided here. as in

Gamer, who operated in New York and
vicinity. He had a dangerous nthO-
graph Of the $40 Hendricks head note
and put large numbers of them In cir
culation- The arrest was finally made
by secret service men from New Jer-
sey, and Paul Jansen, Gamers accom-
plice, committed suicide in the Hudson
county jail. The ingenious devices con-
trived by the counterfeiters to take the
place of regular tools and machinery
We're many. One of the things destroyed
was an ordinary clothes wringer, which
had been used as plate printing press
in Chicago by a smooth rascal named
Skoog, a Swede. With this simple de-
vice SkOog priated a large number of
very fair counterfeitsy and for a time
waXed Eat.
He was finally arrested, but was not
destined to paw the penalty of his crime.
At the time of his arrest in 1898 the Cook
county Jail was undergoing repairs, and
SkoOg was sent to the county. jail al
Joliet to be held pending trial. One
night he effected his escape. and has
since eluded all efforts for his capture.
Another plate printing press destroyed
was made entirely of wood, the neces-
sary power being supplied by a wind
lass and rope The operation of this
was necessarily slow and laboriOus, but
as the man who operated it made a SO
bin with each impression, 1t was not
without 2roft.
Probably the most dangerous of the
contraband goods destroyed was the
Autograph stones captured in Chicago
from V. ]. TraVin, Russian and an
expert cOunterfeiter. His work puzzled
the most expert of the experts, and ii
was a long time before the crime was
fastened upon him In the raid which
was finally made the stones and a. con-
siderable amount of bogus money were
captHred, but TraVin escaped, disap-
peared as though the earth had opened
UP in the proVeTbial way and swallowed
him. A close watch was kept on his
wife. and after several months II was
discovered that she had shipped all her
household goods to FL Paso, Tex. From
there she shipped them down into Old
Mexico, and, following up the trail,
Travin was finally captured. He fought
extradition, and it was a year before
he was brought back to Chicago for
trial. He is now doing time at Joliet

it hadn't been for himself Funston

close race. He tells this story OF the
young fellows college career
He is not afraid of anything that
can walk. Once the towns bad negro
tried to run over Funston. The darby
weighed pretty nearly 200 pounds and
was a .scrapper' with a razor record.
Funston was about FIVE feet three

brother to 'standstiR and Vent for

Owing to the difficulties which he eX-
perienced with some of the text books
he did not graduate. but in 1887 became
city editor of the Fort Smith Tribune
a stanch upholder of local Democracy.
a few days before the election the
editor-in- chief went away, leaving the
paper in Funston's hands. He had
been getting pretty weary of the Demo-
Gratis, who had been conducting their
campaign on a basis Of bribery and in
timidation. and his first act when he
was put in control was to write an
editorial stating his opinions with a
degree of frankneSs which left no room
for misunderstanding.
This engaging Open-mindednes did
not appeal TO the worthy citizans of
Fort Smith. who SET about showing
the young editor the error of his ways
by burning down the Tribune building
Funston gathered his staff about him
and prepared to defend the place. but
the editor-in- chief hastily returned in
answer to Geographic summons from
ms friends and appeased the wrath Of
the Democrats by a hasty issue. ex-
planning edltorially what had happened
Naturally young Funston did not re-
tain his job. There was talk of tarring
and feathering him before he could get
away from town, but he didn't evince
any haste in leaving

By printing such an editorial, the
young man said briefly:

For a time Funston was out of a
job. Then he drifted into the railroad
business and became a conductor on
the Santa Fe line.

WHAT is A GENTLEMANP
Question That is Agitating Many
People Just at Present

fChIcaeO NewS.)
One of the most ingenious and emil
nent of the country's educators has
ventured a new definition of gentle
man." He opines that the distinctive
mark of a gentleman probably consists
in the readinesS-tO accept trusts, even
when they are personally disadvan-
tageCus-the readiness. to subordinate
a mans own convenience and desire to
a social code"
A distinguished female student of So
GEOLOGY and the humanities generally
has laid down the rule that the in
fallible mark Of q gentleman consists
in good form, and that for example, a
person who took the wrong fork to his
OYSTER could not possibly be a gentle
man.
And another educator. as eminent as
the first is alleged to have confessed
his doubt as to whether any one who
was not familiar with classical liter
allure at first hand could by any means
become a gentleman.
This confusion among the authorities;
is extremely discouraging to young
men. They have heard that it is &c
Sirable to be gentlemen. Yet. with such
conflicting definitions as these. how can
they tell whether they are making for
that detachable state2 They may learn

only to be ruled out at last because they
cannot construe a line of Homer. or
they may diligently read the classics
and cultivate the widest readiness 10
accept trusts. and then meet their Wat
erloo through wearing the wrong kind
of necl<tie.
The matter is so confusing that young
men, on the Whole, may give il up in
despair, and try to content themselves
with being merely good and useful per

MORE FUNSTON STORIES.
Episodes in the Strenuous Career of
the Captor of Aguinaldo.
lChicagO Irlbune.1


From his boyhOcd days Fred Funston
has been a fighter. He was born in
Ohio in 1866, but his father, +. H. Funs-
ton. soon moved to Kansas. where he
became a congressman and was known
as FOghorn Funston. His first public
appearance was made when he was
about 16 years old, at a political meet
ing at Fort Scott, Kan. The political
meeting happened to be opposed to his
fathers candidacy, but that made no
difference to young Funston. In fact.
it was the reason for his being there.
After all the speaking was over and
Foghorn Funston had been pretty well
torn 10 pieces the young fellow got up,
took the stage and said that he had a
few remarks TO make He proceeded to
make them in the face of strenuous
opposition. but when the audience pres
entity discovered that he was telling a
good story on his father il quieted
another, and then began TO tell what
kind of man FOghorn Funston. who
had been the butt of so much ridicule.
really was.
IN vain did the organizers OF the
meeting howl for adjournment; the boy
now had his audience with him. and by
the time he had finished a brief but
well put statement of the political sit
uation it was a Funston audience, and
the effect of his oratory was evident
on election day
