The proposal of the Democratic ma
jority of the Board of Freeholders tc
expend 50, 900 in the permanent improve
ment of the Morris County Jail is a pro-
posal to waste that amount of the tax
payers money. The sum proposed ie
absolutely inadequate to effect any sub
stantial improvement in the existing
conditions Either more money should
be spent or nothing at all. Morris
County is now likely to gain an unde-
sirable notoriety as a community that
will not remedy barbarism, but will con-
tinue the use of jail which would be q
disgrace to Cuba, until such time as il
is compelled to act. We believe that
that day is not far distant.

The report Of the United States COM
missioner of patents shows that since
July 90, 1885, 667, 173 patents for inven-
lions and since 1842, S4,018 patents for
designs have been issued by the patent
office.
Among the inventors up to the present
time, Thomas Edison leads with 742
patents. Next comes Francis H. Rich
ards with 619 and third Elihu Thomp-
son with 444. Chas. E. Scribner has
374. Luther G. Crowell 293, and Ed
ward Weston $50. John W. Hyatt, the
Newark inventor, has 200 and Phillip
Diehl, of Elizabeth has 1877. This makes
an excellent showing for New Jersey

Edison are all Jerseymen. Up to 1896
some $685. patents were granted to wo
men, most of them for articles of wear
ng apparel. About 400 patents have
been issued to 1876 colored inventors.

the Estate,

the Estate.
1t was about the year 1880 that Dan.
lei Webster was driving from the Cape
to Boston in n chaise with his wife.
Going through Marshtield by the road
nearest the shore. he was attracted by
the beauty of this locality. He stopped
ut the John Thomas residence for en-
tertainment, and he inquired of Mr.,
Thomas If he would be willing to sell
his farm and house. 1t Is said he had
often stopped there, and there was a
warm friendship between them.
Mr.. Thomas family had all been roy.
alists and left for Nova Scotia during
the revolutionary war. Aftcrwarti they
returned. but part of their estate was
confiscated and the remainder had di.
minished in value and money was
scarce with them. Mr.. Thomas did not
take long to consider, but named his
price. which Mr.. Webster accepted, say
ing the family could continue to live
there the same as ever.
This agreement was entered into, and
Mr.. Webster and his family came and
went at their pleasure each year, the
pleasantest relations existing between
the two families. When deaths and
marriages broke up the Thomas family.
Mr.. Webster somewhat enlarged the
house. building library addition,
which his daughter Julia assisted in de-
signing. He also beautitied the grounds
greatly and enlarged the farm till he
owned over 1900 acres. This absorbed
the entire adjoining Winslow estate.

Uses Of LIQUID Air.

AS there Is reason to believe that
syndicate has been formed for the pur-
pose of floating a limited company os-
,ensib.y for the commercial util cation
Of liquid air, one or two observations
on this interesting substance may be
timely.
In the judgment of the most promin-
ent authorities on the subject the com
mercial use of liquid air is not an eco.
nomic possibility. 1t Ia true that large
number of suggestions have been made
pointing to its adaptability for different
purposes. 1t has been proposed as an
explosive. and liquid-air cartridges
have actually been used with indiffer-
ent results) for blasting. Mr.. Tesla has
been credited with its employment for
increasing electrical conductivity, and
thereby transporting electric energy for
thousands Of miles without loss. Liquid
air, too. has been suggested as a mo-
tive power, preservative, caustic for
medical purposes, and for variety Of
other singular employments.
1t has to be borne In mind, however.
that liquid air for power purposes costs
200 times as much as steam, requiring
200 degrees tFahrenheit) Of frost for Its
production. and that in any case It is
expensive to make and most difficult of
preservation. No doubt 1t excited great
hopes on its entry into the world as q
manufactured product. but the better
informed now regard 1t as destined to
relapse into the position OF q mere
scientific curiosity.-London Express.

with very little noise and produces an
abundance of foam. Oleomargarine
and renovated butter boil noisily,
suffering somewhat like mixture of

no foam. This simple test has been in

trustworthy that in ordinary cases its
