 MT. Jefferson invented the copying
 press. He writes to MT. Madison in 1 17S7: Having great desire to have a portable copying machine, and having studied over some experiments with the
 principle of large machines made to
 apply in the smaller one, planned one
 in England, and had it made It am

 to making them, and they are of such
 demand that Le has his hands full. l send you one. You must expect tQ
 make many essays before you succeed
 perfectly. A soft brush, like 9 shaving i brush, is more successful than q
 sponge" IIc also sent copying-press
 to the Marquis de Lafayette as pres | cnt.
 Another of his inventions was a
 hemp break, which he says, has long been wanted by the cultivators of
 hemp. and as soon as I can speak of l its effect with certainty I shall de- l scribe it anonymously in the public pa pers, in order to forestaIl the preven- ton of it's use by some interloping pa I tentee." He invented pedoneter to measure 1 the distances he walked. He sent one to James Madison with the following explanatory letter: ITO the loop at the bottom of if you must sew tape.
 and at the other end of the tape a
 small hook Cut a little hole in the bottom of your left watch pocket, pass the hook and tape through it. and down between the breeches and draw
 CTS, and fix the hook on the edge of
 your knee-band, an inch from the knee-buckle; then hook the instrument itself by it's swivethook. on the upper edge of your watch-pocket. Your tape being adjusted in length, your steps will be exactly measured by the in- strument.'
 His most important invention was a plough. MT. Bacon, his overseer, says: "He was very ingenious. He invented plough that was considered great improvement on any that had ever been used. He got a great many premiums and medals for it. He planned his own i carriage, buildings, garden and fences and good many other things. He was nearly always busy upon some plan or model"
 Jefferson's, plough received a gold | medal in France in 1790 During his | European tours he had been struck with the waste of power caused by the | bad construction of the ploughs in conn l mon use The part of the plough | called the mould -board," " which is above the share, and turns over the l earth, seemed to him the chief seat of | error and he spent many of the leis- ure hours of his last two years in | France in evolving mould-board which should offer the minimum of re- sistance. He sent the original design to the Royal Agricultural Society of the Seine The medal which they awarded for 1t followed the inventor to New York, and eighteen years afterward the society sent him superb plough con- taining his improvement.

That is an interesting report which comes from Topeka, Kansas, to the ef- feet that a condition and not a theory prevails in the home of the Rev c. NJ. Sheldon. Brother Sheldon Is the man who wrote a glowing book in which a servant girl was the heroine. He had the employers of the girl take her to church with them and to those social entertainments to which they were ir- vited, and had her sit at table with them, and the son of the family finally married her and they lived happily ever after. Now Mrs. Sheldon had ser want who wanted to apply the notions set down in the book She wanted to enjoy the same privileges as the rest of the family, but Mrs. Sheldon object ed, and when the servant cited her husbands theories in support of her claims, she retorted that she was not responsible for MT. Sheldons opinions, and the girl left.
 Which shows that a mans wife is not obliged totpractice what he breaches, and that she Is not likely to when 1t in terferes with her notions. What is a theory in book to practical woman, even if the book is written by her eel ebrated husband?

That was g grave infringement of the law, which does not prescribe military service as a punishment. The measure did not they rose again, demanding the repeal of the Temporary Rules" which had already been applied in the case of more than 250 students in Kieff, St. Petersburg and Khrakoff, for assemb- ling quite peacefully at the university. The general instruction was not suc- cessful, and the students went out into the streets and loudly stated their de- mands. Men of letters and journalists fully recognized that the students were fighting asinst the same arbitrariness that also oppressed them, and this time joined in their demonstrations. There were demonstrations at Khrakoff on February 19 and March 4, in St. Peters, burg on March f, and in Kieff on March H.
 The students and their supporters don't seem to have made much impress son yet on the Russian government, but it is evident that the agitation is deep and widespread.

JEFFERSON AS AN INVENTOR.

JEFFERSON AS AN INVENTOR. Thomas Jefferson was himself an in- ventor, but, consistent to his belief in
 the natural right of all mankind to
 share useful improvements without re-
 straint, he never applied for patent. His last original device was a folding chair, which he used to carry to church in early days, when services were held
 in the courthouse at Charlottesville, and the seating conveniences were in- sufficient. His grandson tells us how 1 he would mount his horse early in the morning, during the latter years of his life, canter down the mountain and across the country to the site of the un- i iversity and spend long day there, directing the work, carrying with him walking stick of his own invention, now familiar to all, composed of three sticks, which, being spread out and covered i with piece of cloth, made tolarnble seat" Mir. Bacon, his overseer, in his "reminiscences says: His servants came with him and brought seat, kind of canlp-stool of his own inven- tion. After MT.

The four police commissioners who transferred policemen to the veteran reserve list without taking any thought for the morrow have been ordered to show cause why they themselves should not be transferred to the retired list. It Is difficult to see how they can offer any good defence for their action. The men transferred were not and are not incapacltated for full duty. If the of lending commissioners can't show that the men were properly and legally re- tired what Is there for them to say ex- cept that they thought 1t would be a good idea to make the transfers? And when asked what the idea was what can they answer? Perhaps one of the will feel like earning the gratitude of his fellow citizens by tell ing the whole story. And perhaps he VOpt

THE CHINCH BUG.
His Hardness and Destructive Habits
 How to Fight Him

How to Fight Him.
 In an exhaustive article on the chinch bug, tl,e most destructive and one of the most dreaded enemies of vegetation, the Daily Drovers' Telegram says:
 "The annihilation of the chinch bug would take big load off the mind of the Kansas farmer. Ii it were just known beyond shadow of doubt that the last chinch bug had departed into the great beyond-gone to the bourne whence no traveller returns-.the man who raises corn wheat, mortgages and other things in not only Tansas, but in Missouri, Iowa, Nebraska and great many other states, would sing paeans in celebration of the event. Of all the grain pests with which the farmer has to contend this insect is the worst. It attacks all the true grasses, including wheat corn, rye, oats and barley and saps their strength. It begins it's work of destruction early in the spring and keeps 1t up as long as there is anything green to eat. Then it hies itself hence to q snug hiding place, where it takes life easy until the thrifty farmer has planted another crop upon which it may feed the following year.

climatic conditions. If these are favor able the fungus spreads very rapidly. If they are not, it does not spread at all The funny thing about it, though, is that when the climatic conditions are just right for the inoculation of the bugs with the disease germs they be- come inoculated without the interfer- ence of man, and quickly disappear.
 Tn order to succeed with the fungus the air must be warm and moist. In dry or cool weather the disease germs will not spread. The fungus employed is the natural enemy of the chinch bug, and attacks it when the conditions are favorable, thus preventing it from be- coming more of pest than t is.'

PROGRESS IN THE SOUTH.

The new South is not at all slow in some things, and the old North will
 have to hustle to keep up with her. For instance, in Columbia South Caro-
 lima, four textile mills are going to use
 electricity as their motive power. In the Olympia mill everything is done by electricity. The switchboard is the larg- est in the South, and is connected with more than thirty motors, which repre- sent six thousand horsepower, and light the building, the cottages, the city, and Nln the street railroad com- pany. Electricity brings in the coal, carries away the ashes, fills an eight hundred thousand gallon reservoir that supplies the factory and the city with water, and does everything about the mill, taking the place of all other power. The cost of the plant was $f,S00,000, and in spite of this the expense of building and equipping the mill was only s1354 spindle, while the average cost of New England steam-mill is about S15 a spindle. The annual expense for re- pairs is about one-haIf of that of steam mill, and the uniform speed of tile electric machinery produces about four per cent more goods to the ma chine than the steam-driven mills.
 If all this is true and continues to be true the electric mills will soon trouble the steam mills.
