WHERE INVENTIONS ABOUND.
Patents Issued Mainly In the Manu-
featuring States and Not Where
Consumption Takes Place.

The fact that Connecticut led all
other states last year in the number of
inventions patented speaks well for
the ingenuity of the people of that
part of New England, but it does not
prove that they have more cleverness
in the line of mechanical and other
devices than the inhabitants of several
states which did not make so good a
showing especially in proportion to
the population, says the Cleveland
Leader.
Connecticut is the seat of great
number of factories, shops, and mills,
and these concerns cover a peculiarly
wide range. The industries of the
state are very much diversified It's
workingmen have extraordinary
facilities for knowing a great num-
Der of machines and manufacturing
processes. The range is much greater
than it is in many states which turn
out more millions of dollars in manu-
featured products every year than
Connecticut.
Inventions worth patenting almost
wholly come from the places where
things are made, not from regions
where they are used. That is rule
with few exceptions. The market of
commodities carries on the work of
improvement in mechanical processes
employed in their production. The
user may be vaguely conscious of
room for better methods, but he rare
ly gets farther than that Patents
will always be issued mainly to manu-
featuring states, and most to those
with the widest range of industries.
That is what puts Connecticut
brains in such proud position in the
reports of the patent Office.

ONYX FIELD IN NEW YORK.
Valuable Secret in the Sole Possess
sion of an Imprisoned Soldier
on Governors Island

One of Uncle Sans soldiers, who
is a prisoner on Governors island, is
looking forward to the day when he
is to be set at liberty with a good
deal of eagerness and pleasant antici-
patton. He holds the secret to an
onyx field in the northern part of
this state, and his detention on Gov
ernor's island is the only thing that
stands between him and handsome
reward for locating the field for a
company that has been formed by a
number of capitalists to quarry the
stone, says the New York Tribune.
The soldier has a standing offer of
company, and a place with the COM
pany at a salary of $25 week as long
as the quarry pays.
stranger visited Governors island
and obtained permission to talk with
the prisoner. 1t was then that the
offer was made, and the story leaked
out. Tribune reporter met the Wis
itor on the boat coming over from the
island to the battery.
I'VE have made a substantial offer
to the soldier" he said, 'if he will
direct us to the onyx field, but he
steadfastly refuses to divulge a sylla-
bic until he is released. The sooner
he obtains his freedom the sooner we
will be able to reap our harvest. We
realize that thoroughly, and will
make every effort to have his term
shortened. Powerful influences will
be brought to bear on the authorities
at Washington, and we hope to free
him soon. He is wide awake to this
fact, and makes his release one of the
conditions.
He discovered the onyx field acct
dentally. Before he enlisted in the
army he lived in the upper part of the
state, and was an ardent hunter aft
er big game. One day, while out with
his gun, he spied a deer and gave
chase. The deer led him over a rocky
hill. The sides of this hill were very
steep, and to ascend it the hunter
had to cut inches in the stone to get
foothold. He was attracted by the
brilliancy and beauty of the pieces
of stone, and placed several of them
in his pocket. When he returned to
Syracuse, where he lived, he gave
these pieces to some of his friends as
souvenirs. A piece of the stone, with
its history, came into my possession,
and / recognized at once that it was
valuable onyx. l had it tested, and
found that it was of the very best
quality, and that the small piece
which l possessed, measuring per-
haps square inch, was worth so
cents, uncut and unpublished"

FRILLs OF FASHION /
Fresh Bits of Finery That Are Now
in Favor with the DevOtees
of Dress.

The fashionable French walking
skirt clears the floor by an inch and
a half. 1t is just short enough to
avoid the trouble of lifting, and yet
long enough to be in good taste. 1t
is sometimes laid in box plaits all
around, stitched down fiat to little
below the knee, where the fullness
flares out. This sort of skirt requires
no petticoat underneath, which is
something in the interest of econ
omy, says the New York Sun.
White camelias are a very popular
flower in millinery, and gardenias
rank next in order, as they resemble
the former in their peculiar white
ness and general style.
Rumor comes from Paris that the
corset, for women under 80, is
doomed. Some leading physician has
framed a bill forbidding women to
wear them until after they have
passed three decades, and penalties,
very severe, are to be inflicted on
women who violate this law, and also
upon those who sell them the corsets.
However, it is one thing to suggest
and another to declare, so there may
be some obstacles in the way of bill
which interferes with woman's priv
ilege of dressing as she pleases.
White lilies, one at each side of the
head in front, are the latest idea for
the bridal couture, while for general
made of velvet, gold or silver leaves.
Old-fashioned Spanish lace scarfs
are used for muffs, made up with
chiffon, which, wadded, of course,
forms the foundation, and the frills
as well. The scarf twists around the
fastened with bunch of flowers or
a handsome buckle.
We may look for ends at the back
of our hats when the spring styles
come in. In fact, they are in evidence
already on the fur hats as well as
those of lighter materials. Little
frills of lace or chiffon with lace ends
fall in the hair from the side of the
back, giving pretty graceful outline.
Mohair grenadines, very sheer. with
white grounds patterned with differ
ent delicate colors in a silky design,
are conspicuous among the new mate
rials.
The new petticoats show many
narrow flounces edged with lace, put
on so that they overlap one another
fully half their width to give the de-
sired fluff around the feet.
Pearls are very popular for en-
broidery decorations on satin and
lace evening gowns. Gray and black
pearls are both combined with the
white most effectively.
Every other woman you see at the
theater has white tulle chou at the
back of her neck, but the latest use
of this little necklet reverses the or
der and puts the bow in front This,
with a pretty coat and furs, is very
becoming.
Raisins are one of the new garni-
lures for hats, and are very effective
on pale pink mousseline with clus-
ter of autumn leaves.

Lightning Fancies.

A thunderstorm burst recently
over Marseilles with terrific results.
One house, in which dinner party
of five persons was going on was
struck by lightning and one of the
guests killed, and neighboring
church was also struck and the
steeple, the altar and the pulpit dam
aged. One most curious fact is re-
ported of the action of the light
ming. A few days ago coarse in
scription was made on one of the

when they were first written.-Lon-

FAMOUS FOR HORSERADISH.
Many Markets of the States Supplied
by the Farms Located in the
City of Trenton, Nj.

Trenton is world famous for its
horseradish farms from which prac-
tically all the states in the union draw
their supply. The horseradish district
is just within the city's corporate linn
its in the valley below the Riverview
cemetery, states the New York Sun.
There are seven horseradish fields in
the tract, ranging in area from eight to
fifty acres. The weather figures as
factor undermining the crop, because
heavy dews aid the development of the
plant. But the river, or ather the rich,
coarse sand that flows with it from the
head of the tide water, is the regulator
of good and bad horseradish crops.
A successful horseradish farm must
be situated where foundations occur.
The flow of water over the radish bed
freshens the roots and gives the ground
that richness and sogginess necessary
to make it productive of large crops.
Twice year. and some times more fire.
quently, the Delaware, as if by instinct,
creeps across the land that divides it
from the radish fields and keeps them
we'll watered for few days at a time.
Snow, or the water into which it
melts, has no effect on the radish fields.
The water from snow is too free from
foreign substances to make it benefi-
cial. The crop requires the muddy river
water, containing manure and other
like ingredients.
In the insect world there is only one
known enemy of the horsedradish, and
that is the ant. 1t deposits eggs on the
sprouts and. yearly destroys large
crops. lnnumerable remedies have
been applied in an effort to eradicate
this pest, but is still doing business.
Men are employed throughout the
setting out season to fight the ants and
remove the harmful weeds that grow
up among the radish plants. The ut
most care is necessary in watching the
horseradish.
The preparatory work of raising
horseradish begins about March 1.
The ground is ploughed and the radish
is planted very much as the potato. 1t
grows rapidly and about May fine
broad leaf begins to spread about hip
high.
This is called the cedar leaf or winter
top and about September it presages
the approach of the harvesting season.
When the top of this leaf begins to
droop and die then vigorous digging be-
gins. The harvest extends through No
vember.
Not all of the crop is taken from the
ground in the Fall. A considerable
quantity is allowed to remain so that
the spring trade may not be ignored
The first leaf, or summer top, makes its
appearance on the radishes Just about
the time that the blowing of the
ground for the fall cropis started. The
summer radishes are taken up in the
early spring, and after being shipped
away to the buyers their former berths
in the ground are soon occupied by
plants for the fall sales.
The horseradishes are sold to the
dealers by the ton load. A good crop
will bring two tons to the acre, the
market price for which is S. a hundred
pounds. Some years ago the raisers
got SIS hundred, but competition has
had its effect upon the price. The
growth of the radish is not so heavy a S
ten years ago, a circumstance which
the raisers cannot explain.

Eject of shore Linz ON wnx..

Prof. Davis, Of Harvard university,
has recently discussed the TRANSFORMED
ton of water waves as they run in
toward shore lines of different forms,
with especial reference to the refrac-
ton of waves on headlands and in bays,
and to the formation of surf. Waves
break as surf, he concludes. not so
much on account of a retardation of
the base of the waves by its friction
on the bottom, as is often assumed, as
on account of the absence of water in
front of the advancing mass.-N. Y.

BLESSINGS OF CONFINEMENT.
Each Woman Should Fill Her Own
Sphere and Therein VIII Find
Peace of Mind.

In former times woman's domain
was limited to the walls which made
her home. The great things of life
were considered beyond her, and
her work was centered in the manner
in which she kept her house." But
a Christian civilization has given to
woman the advantages of learning
and culture. and from her pen flow
as helpful words and kindly thoughts
as ever encouraged humanity. 1t has
given to the home a better wife, a
nobler mother and a far more help
full sister. says the Housekeeper.
Do we appreciate our advantages?
If so, let us show that appreciation
by filling each her own sphere, no
matter how humble, to the best of
her ability, by keeping from her
heart the canker of envy and malice,
and being content with her lot. The
virtue we must need to cultivate is
contentment; the thing most difficult
to control and keep in subjugation
is our own restless will.
The difficulties and trials of life,
viewed in the dusky twilight and the
solemn hour of night, seem insur-
mountable; yet when we wake re-
freshed from sweet sleep, and in
the broad daylight of the beautiful
day again view our trials and joys.
