Here is a story that is going
the rounds: A very devout
church deacon being somewhat in
disposed was advised by his doc
tor to try hot today, but he OBJ
jected on account Of the bad ex-
ample set before his family.
That is easy" said the doctor.
Just call for hot water, saying
that you wish to shave, and keep
the other ingredients in your own
possession" The next day "a
neighbor called to inquire how
the elder was getting along. He
seems to be feeling much better, :"
said his wife. He shaved three
times last night and twice this
morning."

BUILDING CEMENT.

Cement, concrete and especially ire
enforced concrete viii, according to
some authorities, solve many OF the
hard problems confronting the archl-

used by the Chsldeans, Egyptians,
Greeks and Romans. The most ancient

UNREST IN THE PATENT OFFICE.

There is trouble in the Patent Office.
Under the old rule divisions which were
behind with their work were required
to stay until o'clock until they caught
up. Under the new rule. making 4:"0
o'clock the quitting time, there has been
no such urgency, and consequently
some of the divisions have fallen as far
as seven or eight months behind in their
work. The Commissioner, who is not
remarkable for executive ability. Is try
ing to hurry them up, and his methods
have brought about a good deal of per-
turbation in the office, with feeling of
insecurity to everyone, without so Car
making noticeable progress in the way
of bringing the work up. He has made
examiner, which is rather absurd, as
some cases can be dispoaed Of in 20
minutes, while others may require
week of examination. He has also de-
tailed clerks from the divisions which
are ahead to help those which are be-
hind catch up. This Is not fruitful Of
results. inasmuch as clerk or an eX-
aminer can dispose of cases very read
lily in the particular line in which he is
familiar, but must spend great deal
of time when required to hunt up cases
in some other line of invention. The
Patent Office evidently needs an inVes-
tigation and reorganization on some
what different lines from what it is now
being conducted.

The efforts of the Government and
the Southern Pacific Railroad engi-
neers to curb the flow OF the Colorado
River have not met with general ap-
proval in the adjacent country. There
has been, since the Salton Sea estab-
lished itself. quite an unusual fall of
rain. which the people attribute to that
body of fresh water, and they naturally
desire to have these conditions COR
tinue. since they have brought a great
deal of hitherto arid land into fertility.
1t is believed that the rainfall is directly
due to the evaporation of water from
the Salton Sea and its precipitation.
Many of them think that its existence
prevents and does away with the hot
winds which sweep up from New Mex
leo across western Kansas into Nebras-
ka, destroying millions Of dollars worth
of crops.
