United States patents

United States patents are
granted only to inventions
previously unknown, though in
England the mere introduction
of a new device is patentable.
If the United States examiners
ind that an invention was known
in ancient Palmyra, for example
even if the inventor did not
know it he has no right to a pat
,nt in this country. In an IN
junction case for infringing a
method of winding cotton yarn,
the whole proceedings were
brought to an end by showing
that neither side had right to a
patent in this country because
the device had been used Il long
time previous by the natives OF
the Fiji Islands.

WRONG DOING.

Was there ever human wrong
that was not paid for by the an
guish of a human heart? 1t
is doubtful-extremely doubtful.
You may be guilty of a wrong to-
day, and the world may never
know, but tomorrow, as surely as
Gods bright sun ghdes the east.
1.-THE man within the breast will
assail you with stings of scorpions
and curses of ravished truth"
You know not what shape the
penalty will take; you not when
the payment shall be demanded,
but verify you shall not escape.
Scorn this aspect of evil if you
will, but, by the changeless and
unchangeabled laws of nature and
natures God, the day of retriLu-
sion will come, for it is written
"the way of the transgressor
is hard, yea, forever hard.
What there is beyond the coffin s
lid is not given to man to know,
but he is the blindest of all the
blind fools in the world who
fancies that all sins will go I'M
punished until death ends the
race of life. We cannot deaf in
speculations beyond the grave,
but we do not know that q great
price is paid for the wrong we do,
while we yet find this earth our
abiding place. We may vince
aud cringe and whine like a cur,
but flom it there is no escape.
! may do q wroLg, if SO the God
of heaven will not suffer that
wrong to go UNPUBLISHED, but you
should not draw the garment of
righteousness around your immac-
ulate person as a shield, for, by
the justice of the Prince of iustice,
you shall not escape the just wrath
of the avenging God, if you do
wrong. For is it not written,
Vengeance is mine, I will repay,

A dispatch from Beaumont,
Tex, says: Information has been
received here of a strange phenom-
enon III the southwest corner of
Louisiana, a desolate, marshy
country, almost uninhabited and
uninhabitable. The information
states that the ground in that
section took fire about three
months ago and has been burning
ever since. A hole half mile
wide, two miles long and six feet
deep has already been burned out,
and the fire continues slowly and.
surely. The banks are clean cut
when left by the fire, but soon
tumble in by the action of the
rain. No explanation is offered
by the informant; but rather he
seeks some explanation of this
strange occurrence. The soil in
this vicinity for the most part is
nothing but sea marsh, and it is
surmised that gas is escaping
through this in sufficient guam
titles to make it combustible.

A MHANGE OF LIVE TOPICS
Penned for Journal Readers
by a Local Scribe.
SPECIAL TRAINING.

The present time is undoubted-
ly period of specialties made SC
by the vast progress the world has
| made in every line of thought and
activity. A century ago special
ists in medicine, in law and in the
various arts and sciences were
very rare. Now they are, almost
as numerous as the all round men
of former times.
This condition is both to be
commended and regretted. By
combining himself to one thing d
person can according to the prin-
ciples of the division of labor
treated of i'll political economy,
acquire far greater degree of
proficiency in that thing than he
can by extending his efforts over
a great variety of subjects. Con-
sequently both society and the in
dividual is benefited by superior
efficiency of the worker. This is
especially true of medicine where
the specialist of the eye, the ear,
the nose, the the throat, the lungs
the nerves, the digestive organs,
and etc., is of incalculable service
to suffering humanity.
Nevertheless, specialism IN some
lines has it's evil effects. In pre-
pairing for some vocation whose
scope is of limited extent the
student frequently neglects all
subjects lot bearing upon his
chosen field, with the result that
he becomes q one-sided man not
capable of seeing or understand
ing great truths which seemingly
lie outside of his path but which
may be and generally are intimate
ly related to his subject. OAR
win, Tyndall, Huxley, Spencer,
Haeckel and other scientists were
and are lop-sided Investigators
after truth, who the writer be-
lieves lost by reason of their mar
row channels of observation the
very kernel of that which they
sought.
But however much is to be re-
GREETED that we are nation of
half educated men and women
the fact is patent that he who re-
lies upon broad and liberal edu-
cation alone as the means to gain
him livelihood, will generally
be disappointed in his expecta-
tions. The young man now a
days who would have steady work
aud a good salary must know
something else besides history,
grammar, geography, the Language
es and political economy, and gen
orally this knowledge must be
supplemented by the trained hand.
For this reason the writer be-
lleyes that the appropriations for
4hesnain department of the state
university at Athens should not be
increased at the expense of the
chronological school at Atlanta,
and that the latter institution
should .be1made more accessible to
the'young men of the state.

you that house?"
"Well-er-no, not exactly" was
the answer. "He offered it to me,

venture, "You see the house really
belongs to me. I'm living in it.
