Kent ne nay at Night by q Patent Gun.
Examiners in the patent Office have
learned by experience that II IS O mis-
take to jump ut conclusions regarding
the usefulness Of inventions, says the
Presbyterian Banner. "A cOntrivance
at which they were inclined to poke a
good deal Of fun designed to Brighten
wolves on western prairies was patent
ed less than three months ago, and al
ready It has come into considerable use
in the sheep-grOwing districts In that
part of the country.
The device IL an automatic gun,
which goes Off at regular intervals,
soaring the wolves away from the
n0cks. It consists Of q sort Of box
which contains a clockw0rk attachment
with a small steel barrel projecting
from n end. A magazine, also with
the box is loaded with blank cart
ridges, which are fired by the clock
work once I'm ten minutes or so. BY the
help of a simple mechanical attach
ment the intervals between discharges
are made as long or as short as may be
desired.
Wolves do not attack sheep in the
daytime, and the gun needs to be in OPP
Grafton only from sunset to sunrise. It
is at the period Of Landing that the
iocks are in danger, the fierce wolves
raiding them and carrying off the lamb
kins, and hence the apparatus de-
scribed is intended to be employed ex-
clusively during the season. 1t may be
that the wolf, which is a decidedly in-
telligent animal, may learn the decep-
ton after awhile and realize that the
automatic gun has not a man behind
1t. In Russia it has been found that
wolves are afraid Of the humming Of
telegraph wires.

The Manufacture of writing Pens.


'The manufacture Of pens in the
United States is confined to only four
companies, although one might sup
pose there were many more" said a
Connecticut man who is engaged in
that line of work, the other day. THAT
does not include the making OF gold
pens, which is a separate industry.
but pens Of steel, brass and German
silver. The steel for these pens is
brought chiefly from Sheffield. Eng,
as Is the best blade steel. Many ex-
periments have been made with steel
manufactured over here, but it v
has sufficiently stood the test. The i'm
ported product comes in sheets about
three or four inches wide and from
sixteen to twenty feet long The i'm
preston would be that such little ar
ticles so universally used as pens
would be entirely machine made. Not
SO. From the moment the sheet steel
is started on its way into pens till

In consequence of the increased de-
mand for horse flesh as an article Of
food, the Hygienic Society Of Paris has
urged upon the municipal council the
necessity of providing a larger slaugh-
ter house than that at present existing
where animals that have outrun their
usefulness as carriers and haulers may
be killed and cut up for the butchers.
Only about twenty horses a be killed
and disposed of daily at the present
slaughter house, and it is estimated
that a place with a killing capacity Of
not less than 10000 a year is neces-
sary to keep up with the demands Of
the Parisians for the meat.

Of the noted abolitionist will, II pres

hands Of the John Brown association.
This is an organization formed by
Dwight G. Kilbourn Of Litchheld, an
ardent admirer Of the man from
Ossawatomie. Sufficient funds will be
raised to purchase the prop
erty through the issuance OF
stock Of the association. The
price asked is $500. which Is consid-
cred a goodly sum. in view OF the un-
tenantable condition Of the building.
About half a dozen acres Of stony
ground go with the dwelling.
Some time ago the Connecticut leg
islature was asked to appropriate the
necessary amount, but It declined on
the ground that It had other uses for
the money. It was urged that in a few
years there would be nothing left Of
the birthplace Of the famous aboli-
ZIONIST. Doors, windows. castings and
even boards from the floor have been
carried away by the relic hunter de-
spite the vigilance Of neighbors and
town authorities.

Reformers Wiped Out.

After the lapse of so many years the

tan and the placing of Murat on the

ceeding. Abdul Hamed has made a
sorry ruler, and there is a strong be-
lief in Turkey that a change Of rulers
would be beneficial. The present Sui
tan has spent more money on his har-

has reduced the peasants to abject

Much was expected of Murat. He
