COUNT Boni de Castellaine winged
Fernand de Rodays, editor of Figaro
in the duel fought last Saturday. 1,
will be remembered that the Count
made cowardly assault upon the
editor while sitting at his desk, and
that he was supported in the outrage
by two friends, one of whom was his
father. Roday's bullet unfortunately
missed its aim.

The term Patent Medicines" still
clinges to the proprietary preparations
sold in drug stores, yet not a single
one of them is covered by q patent.
This title was applied at time when
1t was the custom of the United States
government to grant patents thereon,
but for many years past, the United
States Patent Office has been follow
ing a consistent practice OF refusing
patent protection for any compound
within the domain of materia nedica.
In this respect, the United States is in
line with all foreign countries.

IT is thought that the new century
cup defender now under construction
at Bristol, by the Berreshoffs, will be
launched about the last day of this
month. The yacht was begun fully a
month earlier than the Columbia, last
year, and there seems to be no reason
why the Belmont syndicate's flyer
may not be making her trial trip fully
a month earlier than her successful
predecessor.

ASTRONOMERS are upsetting all our
preconceived ideas in regard to human
life on Mars by declaring that its tenn
perature is colder than that of liquid
air, and therefore, of course, incapable
of supporting human life as we know

natures laws undergo decided modi.
fication in planets that must necessar-
lily possess radical difference in con.
ditions that seem to finite knowledge
to be established.

mirers, though few in number, with
the zeal which always actuates new

they could have done under the cir

approve his own alternative Tor a
Statehouse to keep the Republicans in
the assembly from literally taking the

toll IN accordance with the original

cusSed after the courthouse bill had

than has the average resident of this

90 branches to the man library at a
cost of $5,20O,OOO to be donated by
him. This week he donates s. ,OOO.-
600 to Philadelphia, for extension of
the public library system of that city,
and S1,0O0,000 to St. Louis. 1t is
easy enough for the small towns and

100000, if they will only "pan-han-
die" for it, as Seattle and Tacoma did.
and promise to put up an amount
equaling about ten per cent. of the
