The little Ranger ran slowly between

she fred one by one her salute of thir-

Antique Clocks.

A common trick of clock makers and
reparers of years ago. when the craze
for antique grandfather" clocks first
showed itself. was to alter the names
and dates Of the original makers on
such of these clocks as came to them.
This trick has made 1t difficult to prove
the exact age OF an old clock now, even
by experts. and still more difficult to
learn the name OF the real maker. Rep

practice in these days, having realized

which are supposed to put out any fire

One day the blaze came. The cook

fled bowling to her room and began to
pack her trunk. The wife prides her
self on her ability to keep her head, so
first she stepped TO the telephone and
turned In the alarm, and then she went
for the hand grenades.
When the fire department did arrive,
the men found her standing over the
sideboard rummaglng through the
drawers. Copious streams Of water
soon drowned the blaze and ruined the
lower foor, and the department left.
Still she rummaged. Her husband
came, called by the phone girl. He saw
her there.
"Why, my dear girl" he said, why

Gated machinery. a century or prog

the dormant inventive skill of the
world to put forth its best efforts. The
world has made more progress III ma
terial things In the last hundred years
than 1t did in all the centuries proceed
ing. Civilized mans mode of existence
has been totally altered by his inven-
tlons.
The world has gone patent mad. In
the United States alone there were
623.535 patents granted in the sixty
two years from 1887 to 1898. During
Its existence the patent office has re-
ceived more than $40.000,000 In fees.
On carriages and wagons, more than
10000 patents have been granted; on
stoves and furnaces, $4,000; on lamps,
gas fittings, harvesters, boots and
shoes and receptacles for storing, TO-
600 each. The total of patents for the
civilized world is easily twice that of
the United States. Thanks to these

twentieth of its former size. Its vast
distances ceased to be formidable.
Where the numbering stage coach OF
the Flooding caravan took weeks the
flying express covers the distance in a

1925 the first steam railroad was
opened between Stockton and Darling
