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 application 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 a patent IS sought
is original, as is the case in America.
Nor is there any attempt to rule out
impracticable ideas. Almost any
"crank' can get a patent in England.
About a 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 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 a greater value to an American
patent than is possessed by the British.
For this reason experts often advise
an Engiishman to apply for a patent
in the United States aswell 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 considerable
intrinsic value is added, the paying of
the United States fees would seem to
be a 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
.n any change in the British patent Of
fee practice"

take a leaf from the book of south
country household economy. 1t is
common there for country folk to
have sort of outdoor fresh-air clos
ct, a small detached structure set in
the shadiest place possible, standing
upon four tall legs, with fiat single
roof of barely enough pitch to shed
rain. The floor is at least four feet
from the ground, and the whole struc-
ture only big enough to reach we'll
across. There are shelves all around
and the Notwithstanding up next the
roof is full of tiny auger holes. The
door fits tight and fastens with a
lock. Around each of the four legs
is commonly a tar bandage applied
six inches above the ground. This
traps venturesome ants, spiders and
their kidney, thus keeping the inside

inside and out twice a year. In hot
weather floor and shelves are washed
every morning and secured twice a

among the handiest things one can
have about the house or yard.-Chi-

MEASURING BY FAULTS.
Little Incident Which Proves That
a Habit, Whether for Good or
EVIL, Is Never Trivial,

1t was meeting of girls society, a
society organized with large purpose
and high ideals. But it was necessary
that it should grow to strength in num-
bers and working power before much
could even be begun; therefore some
of the most farsighted were working
first for increased membership, and a
score of new faces was in the room
that afternoon. AS soon as the meet
ing was opened, one of the charter
members hurried over to the president.
She was a beautiful girl, noticeable
among all the rest for certain eX-
quisite daintiness which meant some
thing more than rich clothing, for one
felt that her atmosphere" would have
been exactly as fine and delicate had
she worn cotton gown. Her face was
full of dismay.
80 Miss Yates!" she cried, don't
you think we ought to have strict mem
bership rules, and let no one join I'M
less by unanimous vote? There is one
girl here this afternoon who is so I'M
tidy! We don't want girls like that"
There were two sides to the little
incident. The girl who was "untidy"
might prove to have splendid executive
ability, or talent that could i'll be
spared, for hasty judgments are blum
dering things. Who of us would not
resent being measured by our faults
alone? But, on the other hand, what a
commentary upon the effect of bad
habit. Doubtless her carelessness
about her appearance seemed to that
girl trivial thing; yet day by day that
one fault was making her lose untold
opportunities for happiness and use
fulness. 1t is safe to say that habit,
whether for good or evil, is never
trivial.-FSellspring.

FRESH-AIR FOOD SAFE.
The Outdoor Pantry of the Southern
States Is a Device That Is Well
Worth Initiating.

Pantry requirements are a trifie
paradoxical, in that they are air and
light and darkness. A pantry window
is essential, even if it be no more than
a tiny two-light sliding sash, set any
how in the outer wall. A regular
window is much better. 1t need not
waste wall-space-shelves, but can be
so placed across it as to admit it's
working. But if pantry can be al
lotted as much as six feet of house
wall, it is better to have the window
set crosswise, with the lower edge a
little more than breast high. Then,
by making one sash of glass and filing
the other with wire gauze, the pantry
can have a handy outdoor closet.
Have tight deal partition running
out from the sash division, as far as
the space permits. Put shelves around
three sides of the two compartments
thus formed and close them with
tight light deal doors. Thus the in
door pantry can subserve its proper
purposes and the outside closet ban
fish the iceman for six months in the
year.

yet CONSTRUCTED houses, may profitably

assistance which 1 was able to give
them, were quite willing to help me in
my search for strange fish. When l
told them that L 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-
DIES, and that it was as thick as my
arm, rs centimet tiers 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. 1 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 a primitive kind, and can
be found nowhere except in the Gill
bert islands.
This toothed fish is only found at a
great depth, and it generally makes its
home near precipitous rocks, which it
is dangerous for fishermen to ap-
proach.

DISINFECTING LAMP.

through the air in the form of gas
or vapor. Hence the latter method
is the one which DR.. Kitchen follows.
He says:
II have found that the effectiveness
of vapors and gases thus generated
was largely controlled by the dis
lance 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. l 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 number of small
generating devices.
Il found that the greater the mum.
Der of points of generation of the
destructive vapors / used the greater
was the success, and this brings me
to the point of my communication,
viz, that in order to secure the best
effect in methods of disinfection, a
large number of points of generation
and a quick liberation or formation
of the disinfecting vapor should be
used. In my greenhouse work 1 use
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. 1t 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 keyhole. By using this
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"

GIFTS FOR TRAVELLERS.
Useful Embroidered Bags Nowadays
Constitute an Important Part of
"a Tourists Outfit.

A novel and useful gift to anyone
going on travelling tour or long jour
ney comprises set of bags made of
embroidered linen or sateen. There
should be bag for soiled clothes, one
for handkerchiefs, one for shoes, a
nightdress case and a sponge bag.
The boot and shoe bag in these days
is decidedly more attractive than the
time-honored combination of brown
holland and scarlet braid which ono
associated with this purpose in the
past.
The soiled clothes bag is no longer
an eyesore in cretonne of a "green and,
yellow melancholy" but in it's pleasing
form is made of dark blue linen
worked in washing silks or fax
or thread, with tufts of mimosa in
natural coloring. A light, graceful
pattern is darned in with pale china
blue, and the design is lined off at the
top with a straight border of either
yellow or blue cord.-N. Y. Tribune.

made from piece of heavy wire.
Place a small staple in top edge or
back of the mirror frame and hang it
on the weighted cord. The mirror and
weight will now be in equilibrium, and
mirror may be raised or lowered and
will remain at point desired. When
desired to remove the glass from the
cord, raise it up till the hook is
stopped by the staple in the wall before
lifting the mirror off its hook If pos.
sible, 6ive the weight operate behind
some piece of furniture, such as cup,
board, towel rack, or the like, so as to
be out of sight, and to effect this i'm

be used to conduct the cord to the re-

Herd of white nb,,oo..o..

but few know that there are also in
existence white rhihoceroses, consti-
tuting a distinct species. These are
almost extinct, and probably not
more than a dozen or so are left.

that fortunately they are protected
by law and, fortunately also, the
party that met the animals included
the governor of the colony, Otherwise
the species might have been now
more nearly extinct than ever before,
for hunters are not scrupulous in
such matters.

THE MECHANICAL FAN.
Clever Duplication of the Electrical
Air stirrer to Work by Simple
Hand Pressure,

Sentiment needs now to defend one
of its last devices-the fan in the
hands of the pretty girl. Behold, the
spirit of utility, seeking new fields
for the exercise of it's powers, has
invaded the field of the fan. 1t has
set up as a rival of the lacy, silken
implement of feminine hypnotism,
that has served the gentler sex
through untold ages, a mechanical
device of brass, steel and wood-a
thing that to the accompaniment of
a low buzzing provides a gratifying
and steady draught of cool air, and
bearing the name of the "cold air
fan"
The cold air fan physically sug-
gests a cross between an egg beater
and machine for Strengthening the
hands of a pugilist. One might al
most suspect that the inventor had
set out to make an egg-beater and
been diverted, as an after-thought,
to the fan idea by the prospects of
greater financial gain in that direc-
ton.
uptilS dSIdC d. bllc SuU-
gestion that this thing of wheels and
levels-light and easy running though,
it be-can ever be real competitor
with the palm leaf and the great va
riety of daintier fans, the fact re-
mains that the newcomer is sure to
find an infinity of uses. For exam
pie, what could be more satisfactory
to the patron of country barber
shop, where compressed air plants
are as yet impossible luXuries, than
this SMALL cheap creator of a cool
breeze? Manifestly, nothing.
The makers say it will throw a
current of air as far as an electric
fan of like size, which is easily cred
ible when they add the further in
formation that the blades of the
wheel can be made to reach a speed
of 1000 revolutions a minute. 1t
works by COMPRISING in the hand
the handles of the scissors-like ar
rangement that forms it's framework.
A ratchet and couple of cog-wheels
transmit the motion to the fan, both
blades of which are detachable, in
order to be packed in small compass,

Maximum Heat of water

p Water boils at temperature of Pig
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 212 degrees,
for it takes heat away with it, thus
keeping the tempera ture from rising.

1T HEY call Spain the land of ad

TT HEY call Spain the land of ad-
venture" muttered Harry
White, as he strolled before breakfast
around the outskirts of a small Span
ish town on the southern slope of the
Sierra Morena; land I've been in it
three weeks, and not had one adven-
ture yet. A man gets no show at all
in travelling nowadays. Hello! here
comes somebody in a hurry"
Very much in hurry, certainly,
seemed the sturdy Spanish peasant
who had just appeared on the top of
the steep ridge above the boys head,
for he was leaping from crag to crag
as recklessly as wildcat, and at times
even swinging himself over some deep
cleft by the bough of tree, as if in
such haste that he had no time to
think of such a trifie as the chance of
a broken neck.
But in this case it was "most haste,
worst speed" for all at once large
stone gave way beneath the Span
iard's feet, and he came tumbling
headlong down into the road amid a
whirlwind of dust.
Harry-whose sympathies were al
ready enlisted in favor of man cap
able of such feats of strength and
daring-few to the spot, feeling as if
he had really met with something
like an "adventure"at last. But when
he reached the fallen man he stopped
short in sheer Amusement.
And well he might. The man whom
he had seen bounding along the ridge
had had long gray hair and beard;
he was quite sure of that for he re-
membered wondering that an old man

Neptune, the most distant known
planet of the solar system, presents
to the telescope only a small, green
ish disk on which no distinct mark
ings are visible. But during the past
year the great telescope of the naval
observatory at Washington has re-
vealed indications of the existence
of streals on Neptune bearing a re-
semblance to the belts of Jupiter.
A few years ago similar streaks were
seen ~on Uranus. Saturn also pos
sess them, so that it may be said
that cloud-like belts are a feature
common to all the four great outer
planets.

] cit alone with my heart tonight
Where the gloom is dark and deep,
Across the portals the shadows fall,
And here with my grief l weep;
But over my sad hearts darkness
Steals a radiance rich and rare,
For long ago, when a child at play,
HID sunbeam there.
The harp is silent, the chords are dead
Whose music was all too fleet,
And l listen in vain for the silver strain
That made my life complete;
But long ago, when care-free child.
w. al no thought of sadder things,
nestled a song-bird to my breast,
And there it sings and sings.
The garlands are faded and old and scar,
And the laurels that came with the years
Have gone with the dreams and the per
ished hopes
I buried them all with tears;
But out in the garden of my soul
The roses bloom so fair,
For long ago, when a little child,
/ planted rose tree there.
