Our Patent Takers.

"Women have never figured to any
great extent as inventors" says Phil
adelphla patent lawyer. "The latest
reports show that since the patent Of

5.757 patents have been granted to wo-
men. There are other interesting fg-
ures. There have been 415 patents is-
sued to colored men. of which % were
granted to one inventor and 90 to an

OUR WEATHER CODE.



and Time In Telcgraphiny.
"Indianapolis - Bcfall Bugbolt -
Gown - Bufority - Clubfoot - Fade -
Yaf." This Is the message sent out
from the weather bureau on the last
day Of February. The message trans
lated reads: Barometer, 3O.14; temper
ature, 80; afternoon report. snowfall Is
southeast winds with snow-velocity
VI wind ten miles an h0ur-maximum
temperature 3S-nilnbus clouds entirely
lowered blowing from the east-total
amount Of precipitation 1.GO and mean
temperature 24--twO inches Of SNOW"
This Is the weather report for Feb.
%, which was placed on the wire
and sent to Washington and other
weather observatOries throughout the
United States. The condensation Of
the report into cipher accomplishes two
purposes. 1t reduces the cost Of trans
mission and saves time.
The intricacy Of this code can only
be conjccturcd when the great vocabu
larry 1t has to cover Is considered. The
system Is so arranged that the vowels
each have certain value, representing
a decimal, a unit Of ten, similar to the
metric system Of calculation, and their
power is denoted by their relation to
cOnsOnants placed before or after the
vowel. This cipher does not apply to
all the code, as certain expressions
have their individual word. The code
for these words is alphabetically clas-
sified for the convenience Of the clerks
and observers, as their infrequent use
does not allow n familiarity that
makes 1t possible to read at sight, but
they have to be translated by the aid
Of the key. In the message 'yaf' rep
resents two inches Of snow. and an
other combination Of letters beginning
with ~" designates q different pre-
cipitation of snow.
Few messages are alike. A large
sheet Is received at the weather bu-
reau each evening shortly after 8
o'clock bearing the reports III cipher
Of Observatories In various parts Of
the country. A code message from
Memphis received on the same day
that the above was sent from Indian
apolis reads in cipher, "Barmald-Ly-
den - Mean-Barnable -Winnow-Cen
taph-Perfect-Eorgave." Translated
1t reads, Barometer, 1912; tempera-
ture, 80; afternoon report, "a inches
precipitation fell during - hours from
8 a. m. to p. m.-south wind and
cloudy weather-velocity Of wind ten

.. III. and running for three hOurs-.8
alto stratus clouds from the southwest

total month precipitation. 100 inches;
average temperature, 49,"
In many respects the message Is sim
liar to the first one. but the cipher is
entirely different. showing no apparent
likeness. So the messages read all the
way down the page. and IL clerk can
take each of them Off without hesita-
ton except when the rare code Is
reached. and then If the translation Is
not accomplished after moments
study it requires but few seconds
to find it in the key and go OH. The
observers and clerks regard the read
ing of these cipher messages as trivial
matters and recognize the temperature
in "harnnid" or the temperature of
precipitation In "clubfoot" Mt glance.

HOME LIFE OFsAN EMPRESS.
Domestic Happiness of the Imperial
Family eEFRnssia.


Family oERussia. !.
From the New York Tribhne.
The birth and christening of the fourth
princess In the Russian royal family has
called renewed attention to the ideal do
nestle life Of the imperial couple The
empress Is one Of the most popular among
European royalties, it Is said. and was one
of thesfavorite grandchildren Of Queen Vic
toria. Her mother, Princess Alice Grand
Duchess Of Hesse, wrote to the queen when
the little princess was a year old: she Is
such a sweet, merry little person, always
laughing and with a deep dimple in one
cheek, just like Ernie Her pet name was
Sunny" and the quality indicated by that
still is striking characteristic, say her
friends.
The marriage of Princess Alix to the
czar was the climax Of pretty love story.
Her eldest sister, the Grand Duchess Serge,
was aunt by marriage, to the car, who.
when czarowitch, often met the princess at
the house Of her sfsterzs They fell in love
In the but tdp both f
reasons. One Of tho tdngest was the diff
ference in religion. hf Szarowitch belong
ing to the Greek CIlrck and the princess
to the Lutheran. TNe c4arewitch was sent
that he might be ysssed from his love love
affair, but returnedSt12fsyear, as much in
love as ever. Fina&v Queen Victoria and
the other members OF the family were won
over by the young man, but the princess
herself was reluctant to abandon her creed.
She confided her religious scruples to her
brother, the GrahAs Duke Of Hesse, who
asked: Then do you not love him?" She
answered just as any "mere girl" might.
"Oh, yes! indeed L d0rthg
Finally she was yinvitad to England by
her aunt, Princess L6uis5of Battenberg, and
the czarowitch, too, received an invitation.
He used his opportunity to such good pur-
pose that the betrothal was announced at
the wedding, the next year, Of the Grand
Duke of Hesse and the Princess Victoria
Melita Of Coburg.
Soon came the Illness and death OF Alex
ander III, and the czarowftch became en-
peror. His mother urged speedy mar
riage, and the young princess was received
into the Greek Church on November 28
1894, and the wedding took place almost i'm
mediately. .rf -:
The empress is greatly interested In phil
anthropic work. and is at the head Of the
association for relief Of the poor. She is
said to have read all the best works on the
English laws relating to the poor. Every
thing In her home life Is on the simplest
scale possible. and she enjoys herself as
rowing, swimming. tennis playing and
sketching. Her skill with the brush Is said
to be considerable and she often amuses
herself with caricatures in pencil Of the
members of her household. in q way that
no other artist would dare to attempt.
She has her children about her almost
as constantly as any mother among her
people, giving personal supervision to their
training In mind, manners and morals.

The German Coast Sinking.
nm the IIpndon STANDARD


From the London Standard.
The much-discussed question whether the
coast of the North sea is in perpetual
state of rising or sinking has just been
answered In the latter sense. at least SO
far as Germany is concerned.
The latest levels taken in the district
near Hamburg have aroused the keenest
interest of biologists and topographers. as
In large number Of cases they differ from
the accurate record Of levels made fifty
years ago. The difference Is sometimes as
much as several yards, one OF the most
remarkable cases being that OF the Will
seder Hill. a trigonometrical station OF the
first class The measurements here were
accurately computed fifty years ago, and
the elevation was then found to be III
yards. At present 1t Is. only 1929 yards
above sea level
That the Hamburg district has undergone,

by the existence OF a diluvial oyster bed on

A Chinese lady once asked an American

the explanation was followed by dead

Exceptions to BE Found.
There have been occasional examples OF
real attachment between husband and WIFE,
and while In Pekin Il heard of a young
man whose wife had incurred the dislike
Of her mother-in-law. from whom he sue
ceeded in protecting her. She had been an
embroiderer, and her mother-in-law con-
demned her to making the family shoes,
the soles of which are studded with heavy
nails. Learning this, the husband waited
regularly until the mother had fallen to
sleep after the final opium pipe, and made
shoes all night, relieving the wife of the
disagreeable labor.
There are no grounds upon which a wo-
man may divorce her husband, but there
are many-too much talking gadding, Ill
temper Incidence and countless others-for
which he may send her back to her par
ents. II. however, they refuse to receive
her, he must take her back again. If
woman is driven to suicide by the cruelty
of her husband or mother-in-law her fam
lily can come in a body to the husbands
house and literally demolish it., and 1t Is
the unwritten law that no one must inter-
fere, in this summary act Of vengeance.
Suicide is common among women of all
classes. and, aside from brief after bereave-
ment, unhappiness In marriage is the most
common cause of such tragedies Hun
dreds of wives it is estimated, end their
lives every year in Pekin alone.
