No more patient-minded seeker for
the truth Of things ever lived than OAR
win. Even those most at variance with
the opinions set forth by him admired
the man intensely because Of this de-
termined power of investigation for the
right. The mass Of evidence that he
gathered concerning the process of mat
ural selection" by which the evolution
Of higher from lower forms of life Is
brought about Is proof sufficient Of the
prodigious amount of labor that he ex-
pended on his work.
Darwin was always most tireless
worker. Another disadvantage, one
less palpable, yet to one of his mind
hardly the less deterrent, was that of
the unbelief Of even the scholars and
scientists of his own time about the
evidence he had gathered and the de-
auctions he had made therefrom.
There were 0me, however, who came
to his assistance, financially and sympa-
thetically. Their support meant much
to the scientist at the time when it
was preferred, but the hardest battles
had long been over when he was able to
announce his results. He had accom-
plished what he had sought to accom-
plish through his own work and his alb
solute determination to win.

Womepas Inventors.

IN reply to the charge that women
are lacking in mechanical ingenuity,
writes Rene Bache in Technical World
Magazine, it Is asserted that many of
the most valuable inventions patented
by men in reality represent ideas con-
ceived In the brains Of their wives,
their sisters and their daughters. Eli
Whitney's famous cotton-gin is said to
have been merely the application Of a
device first thought out by woman
the widow of General Nathaniel
Greene
The "Coston light" which Is used
BY our life saving service, and by mar
liners all over the world, for signalling
at night-it burns like red fire-is a
woman's invention. So likewise is the
paper bag with satchel bottom, which
was the idea Of Miss NJ. r. knight.
The machine by which comb founda-
tion,' as it is called, for beehiyes, is
made, was patented by Frances A. Dun
ham, in 1881. 1t saves bees half the
labor Of honeycomb construction by
turning out wax sheets, which, sus-
pended in the hives, serves as basis
to build the combs upon. But the most
wonderful point about the contrivance
is that, the cells outlined in relief on
the wax being all of worker" size,
those Of them that are utilized by the
insects for nursery purposes will pro-
duce only worker bees, thus avoiding
the propagation Of idle drones.

All the stores and other places Of
business In Garden Plain, Kan, ceased
business for three days recently. and
the whole town went into the fields tn
nelp the farmers harvest their grain.
Inc merchants say that the trade has
been SO good since they have reopened
tnat they are sure they have not lost
through closing.
"A Maine woman owns the best pro-
tection against the ubiquitous fly. 1t is
nothing but simple hornets nest, that
hangs just outside the house door. It's
inmates are SO tanned by the kindness
OF their owner that they never modest
or sting her. Not a fly has entered the
house since the installation of this
unique fiytrap.
William Rowe, a merchant In High
land, Doniphan County, Kan, says that
the farmers around there do nearly all
their shopping after supper, and that
they come to town as late as or 8
O'Clock and that the buying is often
kept up until after II. The practice
has become so general that there is lit
tie country trade during the day.
A letter has just been received in
Montpelier, VT, that was mailed in Ire
land, ffty-two years ago. 1t was sent
to Montpelier, but from there went to
the dead letter office, where it has re-
manned. The letter was mailed to
Catherine Burger by her daughter, but
as Mrs. Burger Is dead, it was deliv-
cred to the sender's sister-in-law when
she was found by the faithful dead let
ter Office.
A bald-headed resident of North
Adams has invented a means of pro-
tecting his head from the flies. The
device consists of a piece of cardboard
through which hole Is cut the size Of
his head, and over this is pasted sticky
fly paper, sticky side out. An elastic
cord holds the contrivance in place.
The man says the flies do not detect
the deception until it is too late, but
shoot for the shining surfaces with as
much avidity as they do for the most
polished pate.

Keeping Cool.

A popular article Of household furni-
ture among Americans In the Philip
pines il said to be the "refrigerating
stove" This stove Is designed to keep
people cool insead Of hot. Just as we
heat our houses In the States In winter
with coal stoves, so the wanderer who
has set up housekeeping in the Philip
pines cools his house with a cold stove.
These cold stoves are made to look
something like an ordinary stove, and.
being fed with ammonia and chemicals,
give out radiations Of cold waves In
stead OF heat. One can imagine fam
lily gathering around the refrigerating
stove for GOODNESS on hot night in the
Philippines just as on cold night In
the States they had been accustomed to
gather around the parlor stove for
warmth.
