The inventive genius of the Amer
lean people continues to increase The
records of the patent ONCE for the fis-
cal year ended with June 80 prove
that for the period mentioned there
were 29,329 patents issued, as compared
with 26,031 during the previous year,
while the trademarks registered show
an increase from 1854 to 2,194. OF
course the inventions registered include
a large proportion of impracticable de-
vices. Flying machines figure we'll up
among the appliances for which letters
patent have been asked, and perpetual
motion inventors have also been busy.

The New York judge who increased
a burglars sentence from four to nine
years because the prisoner was insolent
and insulting helps to lessen public re-
spect for the courts. A man fit to be a
judge should have. his temper under
control and should have too much self
respect to feel himself insulted by any
thing a low grade of criminal might
say. Five years in prison is a great
price to pay for talking back to a
judge not equal to his place.

Notwithstanding the repeated ex-
posures of the games which this class
of sharpers work on the community

ments of cash is amazing.

M. Santos-Dumont seems to have
made remarkable progress with his fly
ing machines of late. But it is by no
means certain that the invention is a
practical success. Occasional flights
over Paris when the wind is not too
strong are ventures quite different in
character from attempting to go ''to the
uttermost parts of the earth" The
world is still skeptical as to aerial navi-
cation, though entirely willing to be
convinced

Paris, July 21-The death of the
pope did not cause any excitement in
Paris, where it had been expected al

the Parisians appeared to have lost all
interest in the event. AS this dispatch

rush to secure them and the subject
OF the pontiff's passing away is hardly
mentioned or discussed in the boule-

Calmly Received In Berlin.
Berlin, July 21.-The news of the
death OF the pope caused no excitement
here, having been hourly expected for
some time. Emperor William, during
his trip to Norway, had been getting
frequent bulletins about the pontiff' S
condition. Officials who are familiar
with his majesty's views say he en-
tertalned reverential respect for Pope
Leo XIII. While no pope could pos
slDIy have been more acceptable to
Germany than the deceased pontiff,
government circles expect no changes
IN the relations with the vatican. Ger

point that brace dealing or queer WORK

unless the proprietor is absolutely on

Probably more nonsense has been

the .piker' variety. not where the bets
run up into the hundreds or thousands
When there is crooked work in the big
games it is done by a dealer who Is an
artist at his game. Some faro boxes
are arranged so that the dealer can

corner OF the one under it. If some
plunger is hitting the bank too hard

on the losing pile, as IL naturally would,
it comes out on the other side. This
gives the bank an almost certain
chance Of winning, and the worst il
can get is split which, Of course, Is
in its favor.
AS this shifting of cards must be
done in bright light with a crowd
looking on. it can be seen how clever a
man with his fingers a successful brace
dealer must be- Yet there are men
who can turn the trick every time, al
though they constitute mighty small
