PATENTS IN ENGLAND.
They Are Easily Obtained, Nor Is
There Any Attempt to Rule Out
ImpracticabIe Ideas.

The English patent office does little
with an applica ton except to put it on
record. Nearly every request is grant
ed. There is no previous examination
of files to. ascertain whether the in
vention for which patent is sought
is original, as is the case in America.
Nor is there any attempt to rule out
impraeticable ideas. Almost any
Crank can get a patent in England.
About dozen patents on perpetual
motion are issued every year there,
and twice as many are granted for fly
ing machines. At Washington, when
an application is made for a patent on
a device which the examiner believes
will not work, he demands a working
model, which ordinarily is not re-
quired. If the applicant cannot show
machine in actual operation which
will do what he pretends his applica-
ton is rejected.
The examination made here to
ascertain the novelty of an invention
gives greater value to an American
patent than is possessed by the British.
For this reason experts often advise
an Englishman to apply for patent
in the United States aswel1 as at home,
not so much to protect his rights
abroad as to find out whether the idea
is original or not. An official in Eng
land recently said on this subject:
''The American fees are low, and the
presumption of novelty which an
American patent carries is cheaply
bought, even if only for the moral eff
feet in Great Britain, and when the
possible realization of profit in Amer
lea for any invention of considerab BILE
intrinsic value is added, the paying of
the United States fees would seem to
be highly promising investment.
When foreign inventors realize this we
may expect to see them seeking Amer
lean patents in greater numbers. In
deed, this mode of obtaining guaran-
tees of presumptive novelty would
seem to be cheaper and perhaps every
way as satisfactory as could be found
in any change in the British patent Of
fee practice

my search for strange fish. When 1
told them that was looking for ika
ma peka, they replied that they would
first have to get some bait, and to my
surprise the bait which they got was
this extraordinary toothed fish.
81 examined it, and found that it be-
longed to the family of the Trichiuri-
des, and that it was as thick as my
arm, rs centimeters in length, and very
scaly. The most remarkable feature
about it, however, was the fact that it
had three pairs of long canine teeth in
its upper jaw and one smaller pair in
its lower jaw. I noticed, too, that it
had no fins on its belly
Either flying fish or crabs are used
as bait for the purpose of catching
them, and, when they are caught, they
in turn serve as bait for catching other
fish. The hooks used on such occa-
sions are of primitive kind, and can
be found nowhere except in the Gil
bert islands.
This toothed fish is only found at a
great depth, and it generally makes its
home near PERCEPTIONS rocks, which it

FosItIon 3 Trying one.

OF the % women now in the Kansas
penitentiary Is are negroes. It is an
adomatic fact that American juries
are slow to convict women charged
with crime, hence the probability
that those who do land in state prison
are the most depraved. The female
department at Lansing is in the ex-
treme northeast corner of the prison
enclosure and is as distinctly separate
from the men as it is possible to be
made. In charge of these unfortunate
women as matron is Mrs. Ollie Clay
ton, of Ottawa county. She is ably
assisted by Mrs. Hall. of Sedgwick
City. Mrs. Clayton was a school
teacher until her selection as matron
two years ago. Her experience in the
school room no doubt enhanced her
capacity to maintain discipline in this
more trying position. Visitors to the
prison are forcibly impressed with
her executive ability, and relatives of
those whom the stern decree of law
has deprived of freedom can know
that she will temper justice with
mercy.

THE quarrel had been bitter. No
passionate outburst to be
ashamed of-or to be forgiven. They
had come to an understanding. When
his pleasant afternoon jaunt was
ended they would return to town to
go their separate ways, and, yes, to
avoid each other for awhile, until they
grew accustomed to the dead feeling

while their wheels glided on smooth

differently, as was natural, since one

into intermdnable perspective. To the
woman came the determination that
this perspective should be shortened.
"These roads seem to be getting

careful civility. "Shall we turn

others quite as good. Mr.. Ralph re-
Iates an anecdote to illustrate soldier
ly good humor, even at the expense
of personal comfort. The troops had
been greatly annoyed by swarms of
troublesome insects, and to cap their
sorrows a small army of locusts put in
an appearance. Tommy had been
vainly brushing away and trying to
dodge the pests. all to no purpose,

A VEGETABLE PHENOMENON.
But Are Filled with
Worms.

One of the strangest phenomena
ever noted is that discovered by Charles
T. Acl1ley, who has cut eight cherry
trees from his home premises, each
tree being loaded with cherry skins de-
void of pits, but containing myriads of
bright red worms. There are millions
of the squirming things, but until the
cherries are opened no worms are in
sight, says the Waterloo Qn.) Re-
porter.
The trees blossomed and passed to
the pod stage as usual. Then the Pods
began to swell, and upon investigation
the discovery was made that there
were no pits in the cherry skins, but
rather the inside was filed with
worms. The discovery was of such an
alarming nature that Mr.. Acl1ley RACED
the trees and burned them, worms and
all. He sent US just a small sack filed
with the swollen pods, and there were
worms enough to keep a mathemati-
clan busy counting and discoursing for
a week.
It is presumed that some insect
stung the blossom, and the eggs
Matched after the cherry pit had
formed, the worms feeding on the soft
pit until there was nothing LEFT but the
skin. Through this they would have III

you that story agin about the

The attention of the congregation
took on an added interest. Surely
never did ancient Greek delight more
in the "Euripedean thing" than does
the south Mississippi cracker in this
story of the shucks. Variously ap-
piled, they had heard it without firing,
over and over again. But Gordon and
the girl had never heard it.
Moved by the expectancy of all
about them, they reused from their
bitter reveries to listen.
There was two farmers" the old
preacher began, checking off each
statement against his horny palm.
There was two farmers that started
out to farm on sheers, each man to
put his sheer of the seed and do his
sheer of the work, and they, were to
divide the crap. Well, brethren, hit
worked fine. They made a good crap.
Then comes the dividin'. They divided
the hay all right, and the pertaters
all right, and they divided the corn all
right, but when they come to the
shucl1s they fit. And that's hit, breth-
rem; that is what we ais falls out
about; that's what drives peace out of
our settlement and makes us bitter
| and hard-the shucks.'
Gordon's eyes were still on the
preacher, but what he saw were end
less aisles of sweet-scented pine s
with early afternoon shadows drop
ping short and dark among them
and a woman's fair face stiffening be-
meath the cut of his cruel civilities.
And what had it all been about? An
imaginary attribute of an imaginary
character. A heroine in one of his
love stories that she had criticised.
Shucks? Less than shucks. He
looked down at the girl. She was star
ing past him toward the open door,
but small gloved hand stole out and
drew aside the barricade of skirts.
He moved forward quickly and sat
down beside her.
Dear" he began.
Don't" she breathed, unsteadily
"I-please-'' She tore off her glove
and laid her hand frankly within his
extended palm.
Gordon's hand closed convincingly
upon hers.
"Dear girl" he whispered.
Still the preachers strong voice
rang against the raindrops, urging
with the sad sincerity of suffering its
broken plea for peace. Broken? Aye
illiterate, if you like; but to the mar
and the woman sitting with claspec
hands and quivering hearts thai

Maximum Heat of water,

Water boils at a temperature of 212
degrees, but having been brought to
that temperature. it can not be made
any hotter. The reason of this is not
generally understood, and yet it is
quite simple. Boiling is only another
name for steam-making, the agita-
ton and bubbling being caused by
the escape of the steam into which
the heat has converted the particles
of water. 1t is the escape of the
steam that prevents the water from
getting any hotter than PIP degrees,
for it takes heat away with it, thus
keeping the temperature from rising.

DISINFECTING LAMP.

through the air in the form of gas
or vapor. Hence the latter method
is the one which DIR. Kitchen follows.
He says:
II have found that the effectiveness
of vapors and gases thus generated
was largely controlled by the dis
tance from the source of generation
of the germ or insect treated. These
gases and vapors were also effective
in proportion to the quickness of
generation and their consequent con-
centration. Vapors are more effective
than dry gases, and they are more
effective if applied to dry areas.
Moist atmosphere surrounding an in
sect or germ seems to tend to pro-
tect it. 1 found that many escaped
by hiding in the moisture holding
peat and moss above referred to. I
used all sorts of apparatuses to gen.
crate vapors, commencing with large,
costly and complicated FORMS and
gradually evolving downward into
the simple, inexpensive and uncom-
plicated form of a number of small
generating devices.
81 found that the greater the nU-n-
Der of points of generation of the
destructive vapors I used the greater
was the success, and this brings me
to the point of my communica ton,
viz, that in order to secure the best
effect in methods of disinfection, a
large number of points of generation
and quick liberation OF formation
of the disinfecting vapor should be
used. In my greenhouse work I use
a number of small generators, such
as is outlined in the accompanying
cut, distributed around the area of
the house operated on. A little wood
| alcohol is placed in the generator
! lamps and lighted. The disinfecting
material is put in the superimposed
evaporating pan, and the apparatuses
are left to do their very perfect
work. Tt is obvious that the same
method can be applied to house dis
| infection. Small generators can be
placed in the several parts of room,
in corners, in closets and under beds,
and will produce very much more
germicidal effect, and at much less
expense and labor, than in using one
large apparatus, the vapor from
which may be, perhaps, applied
through a Eeyhole. By using .his
diffuse method of generation, of
course, any degree of concentration
and strength of disinfecting vapors
can be obtained by merely multiply
ing the numbers of generators"

poplar. The logs are sawed into 49,
inch lengths and split into halves. A
series of knife points run down the
face of the block, cutting into the
wood in parallel lines that are spaced
according to the width of the fiber
to be made. A following knife slices
OF the whole face of the block thus
served. The fbers curl and commin-

TOO MUCH FAULTY ENGLISH
People Have Grown Careless in Their
Rhetoric and Make Many
Errors.

The books of rhetoric used to tell
us that the great qualities of style were
perspicuity, energy and elegance, or
clearness, force and grace, and that as
a means toward these and for other
reasons it was important to be con-
else, to avoid needless words. Wheth-
er they no longer teach thus, or their
pupils disregard their instructions,
you can scarcely read a page or a col
umn anywhere without meeting words
that add nothing to others with which
they are Immediately connected, says
Frederick M. Bird, in Literary Era.
Thus:

his legs or his elbows the cause would
be more notable. He might properly
'sshake his head" for he could shake
other things, but in the present state
of language one can nod no other part
of himself or of creation than his
head.

of rising down, or if it were possible
to do so, this would not be tautolog-

It will not do to say that these speci-
mems abound in the best writers, and
are therefore justifable. They are not
the best writer's when they write in
this way through pure carelessness,
for they know better. Homer some
times mods, but his nodding did not
produce the ''Iliad." We want to fol-
low the best writers in their excel
lencies, not in their errors.
