from two to four weeks. One of the
principal obstacles was the difficulty of

His theory is that children fed on milk

HOME FOR INVENTORS.
j. w. Bunker Says He'll Build 1t For
the Worthy Who Are Destitute.

the worthy Who Are Destitute.
Believing that there is need of a
home for destitute inventors, J. w
Bunker, himself al inventor, says he
will build such a home near New York
city. Mr.. Bunker asserts that he has
already in hand sufficient capital to
erect the building and equip it with IA
cilities to enable INDECENT inventors to
prosecute their lab0rS, says the New
York Times. He says there are many
persons in the United States who have
made valuable inventions, but who
have failed to gain any considerable
returns from them.
Nh. Bunker has financial interests in
New England. but has recently been
staying in New York. Before starting
on q pleasure. trip through the south he
made known his intention Of building
home for INDECENT inventors. Mr.
Bunker says lawyers will also be en-
gagged to aid poor inventors to get pat
ents from the patent office and for the
protection Of patents already obtained
81 have often wondered why some OF
our very wealthy Americans whose
fortunes have been made out of some
other fellows patent did not start such
a movement before said Mr.. Bunker.
Thomas A. Edison ought to be the
wealtIliest man on earth today if his
fortune could be measured by the good
he has done mankind. But, as a matter
of fact, he is not as wealthy as some
persons who have profited by his in
ventions But it is for that vast major
ity of inventors who have become des-
titute that I have started out to build
this home. There are hundreds of them
in this country, if not thousands.
''The government does not protect
the inventor as it should. He has to
fight for his patent rights in the courts
almost invariably. and pending this lit
igation the courts allow the other
claimant to go ahead manufacturing
the same article. Mr.. Edison fought !
for fourteen years for his incandescent !
lamp, and a Frenchman was allowed |
all this time to make these lamps. Al !,
the expiration Of fourteen years Mr.. !
Edison was declared to be the real in
ventor, but the life of patent is only I
seventeen years. and Mr.. Edison had |
only three years left.
''As soon as I return from theasouth !
shall look for site upon which to
plans drawn by competent architects" !,

EuFhaMk Cactus FOR African Desert
John NJ. Rutland, the greatest seeds

Old Church Plate in Wales.

From the Atheneum.
 In the church of Llandudwen, seven miles to the northwest of Pwllhell, is found a per-Reformation silver chalice, hitherto unchronicled. It bears no marks, but the date is obviously, by comparison with dated examples, about 15OO. This brings up the known instances of old massing chalices that escaped destruction at the time of the Reformation to about forty The bowl is plain hemispherical, and it is supported by a hexagonal stem divided by a large ornate knop The foot Is curved hexagonal, and one of the com- partments has an engraved CrusifiXion on a foliated gilt background. It is almost identical with one at Llanelian, Den bighshire. These and a paten al Llau- macs. Glamorganshire. dated 1885, are the only three pieces of Reformation church plate known to be extant in Wales.
 Nevertheless, there is another older piece of plate, that has been in use as an aims dish in the well known Carnar- vonshire church of Clynnog far beyond the memory of man. In this case, how ever its origin was in a certain sense secular. It is mazer bowl of dark polished mapewood, mounted in an ornamental silver gilt band, which bears the black letter inscription: 'Ihs nazarenus rex iudeorum fill del miserere mel" In the center of this small bowl which is 5A inches in diameter and 8 3-16 inches deep, is a boss of silver gilt engraved with flowers, which were originally enamelled. The dats is about 14S0-1490. and it is sup posed by MT. Jones to have belonged to the adjacent monastic house of Clynnog.
 The mazer was the favorite driking vessel of the monks of the wealther Ben edictine establishment. The monks of the great priory of Christ church, Canterbury,

How Reed Got Back at DinaIey.

From the Pittsburg Times.
 When the town of Brunswick, Maine, celebrated some years ago the one hun dred and fiftieth anniversary of it's in corporation there was a big dinner, and Tom Reed and Nelson Dingley were present and were, of course, called upon to speak.
 Dingley spoke first, and said in conclu- sion that he had made no preparation, and would make way for a gentleman who had come with prepared speech, meaning Reed, who got bacq at Dingley as follows:
 MT. Postmaster, 1 am sorry to be- gin with an apology. Some time ago I attended celebration like this in Unity, in Waldo county and there heard Cover nor Dingley refer touchingly to Unity as his birthplace 1 afterward learned that the governor was also born in Durham, in the county of Andoscoggin, and l know that nothing but my presence here prevents his claiming he was born in Brunswick too. And I feel like apologiz- ing for being here, for it will hereafter be an honor to have shared in the birth place of Governor Dingley."

Horror ot Needless Noises.

w. D. Howells, in Harpers for Novem-
 Der.
 It is the needlessness of most noises that renders them insufferable You sleep very well through the roar of wintry storm, but if some one has forgotten to fasten blind, and it begins to bang, then you are lost; you might as well get up and locate that blind and fasten it first as last The manifold noises of your steamers plunge through the night. with the perpetual wash of the sea, unite in lullaby to which the worst conscience sinks into repose; but a snorer break ing from the next stateroom recalls the memory of all ones sins. The rush and leap and incessant but varied grind and clang of the sleeping car become sooth- ing at last but a radiator, beginning to fzz and click after the steam has been turned off, seems to leave the would-be sleeper no resource but suicide; if you could get at the second engineer, and leave him weltering in his gore, you could snatch few cat-napS before morn- ing; but you cannot get at the second engineer after midnight in most hotels. Continuous noises and necessary noises are things you can adjust senses or your spirits to; but the noise without a reason, without an apparent right, like the gnawing of rat in the wainscot, is what drives so many to perdition; and the chatter of the power-dory will prob ably erelong fill the asylums from the seaside cottages. It is not impossible, however, that many summer cottages are now being equipped with machine guns that will sweep every power dory from the sea. These guns will be worked on pivot and will equally clear the roads of unmuffed automobiles, and blow to atoms any motorman about to sound the whistle of a trolley car.

 This order for the 4Ha cent rate was made by the commission at their first meeting in October. over the strong pro- test of General Freight Agent Steele, and it is not matter of surprise that he should have taken the case to the courts for settlements.
