QUAINT MODELS FOR PATENTS
Designs Fashioned by Inventors Con-
stitute a Museum in the
Patent Once.

There are thousands upon thousands OF
models at the patent ONCE Of inventions
that are of absolutely no use whatever.
They represent the blasted hopes and often
the ruined fortunes of innumerable in
ventors who invested their time and money
In worthless ideas, The models forwarded
by these inventors to the patent once form
a sort OF museum by themselves. and those
who wish to look bit beneath the surface
can find story Astounding in genuine
pathos in pretty nearly every one OF these
foolish inventions
The star invention in the way OF real
absurdity ts'said to be the windmill boat !"
This is device intended 10 supersede the
sailboat OF today The motive power is
furnished by a windmill erected on the
deck Of the boat. which is to take the
place of sails. One glance at the model OF
this boat is sufficient to convince any per-
son Of ordinary intelligence of It's absurd
ity.
Then there is the invention OF ona Heintz-
elmann for floating horses across rivers"
very funny little model Of a strangely
shaped horse with still more wonderfully
fashioned rider. a soldier. accompanies the
patent papers. Little bladdars nIled with
air are fastened around the horse. II the
model were placed in a tub OF water the
little bladders would support the horse and
rider on the surface OF the water, but-sad
to relate-the poor soldier and horse would
noat with their feet up In the air and the
heads OF both man and beast well SUBJ
merged. Mr.. HeintEelmanns invention was
never adopted by the army OF this or any
other country.
A very odd exhibit Is the pistol and
pocket knife combined. A nail file project
Ing from the under side OF the knife acts
as trigger. The inventor. one Mr.. Peavey,
olandly states in his description OF the con-
trivance that this invention has the great
merit OF being useful in two ways-if YOU
do not kill the man with the pistol shot
you may then attack him with the knife.
Note that II has several blades Also Won
may use II 10 dig stones out of a horses
hoof."
There are countless numbers OF baby car

PEARL FISHING in PHILIPPINES
Much Capital Employed and Many
Lives Risked Annually I'm the
Industry.

Pearling at Jolo which lies at the south.
westerly extremity OF the Philippine group
Is a mysterious industry A large amount
OF capital and thousands OF lives are risked
each year in delving into ocean depths for
the great. rough shelled bivalve which &C.
casionally contains a pearl worth n kings
ransom. Because OF the great risk In
volveI and the possible fortune to be
gained the industry has a fascination
scarcely TO be resisted by those who have
once experienced II. Because OF the great
variety Of people who search for pearls,
the vast area of the hunting grounds, the
eenturies-old customs OF the Moros and
the special laws covering the industry, no
statistics can be obtained which will APP
proximate the profits. The business Is
therefore mysterious
Pearling Is a game of hazard for high
stakes. The pearler must risk capital and
human life. He must brave the sea and go
prepared 20 fight for his rights with saw
age men, and he must pay the taxes and
divide the prohts with the shrewd traders
from Ceylon and Singapore. Sometimes.
says the Far Eastern Review, fortune
smiles. Three years ago single pearl was
marketed in the Celebes for 5000 pesos.
Such finds rarely come to public notice.
SnreWQ traQeTS are dlWhgh pn hdiiu "
snatch them away from the ignorant and
fearful divers, and the Jewel is first ex-
posed for sale in London or Paris OF
Dutch port.
The Moros have three ways OF getting
the pearl shells out Of the sea. One Is by
actual diving, one by dredging and a third
by three-pronged catcher let down by q
rattan rope. This last method can be used
only when the sea is absolutely calm, be-
cause the least ripple will prevent the
fisherman from seeing the shell at the bot
tom OF the sea. When the first method Is
employed the diver always says his pray
ers before he goes down. In the days when
shells were plentiful the diver went down to
a depth OF from eight 10 twelve fathoms,
but now there are men who even go as
deep as twenty fathoms.
In former times the divers were sup-
posed to give the biggest pearls to the sui
tan, but when the natives came to learn the
value Of money they secretly sold them to
| the traders. As consequence, wien IL
came to the knowledge Of the sultan' that
one of his subjects had suddenly become
rich he concluded that pearl must have
| been sold, else how did he obtain all these
| fine things in so short a space OF time. 4
messenger would be sent out at once to
fine the man large sum OF money.
Special laws have now been made by
the Philippine commission covering the
pearling industry. The sultan and his fol-
lowers have no longer any legal right to
collect fines and penalties but the custom
has obtained for so long that the ignorant
people still fear the power of the sultan.
and have not yet gained SUFFICIENT conf
dence in the American government to ac-
cept its guarantee of protection.-New York

CHlCAG0'S HUGE TAX ROLL
Nearly Two and a Quarter Billions.
Real and Personal, Listed
I'm Cook County.

The largest amount of taxable property on
the books Of any city in the United
States is listed on the books OF Cook
county, which includes Chicago. The full
value of all the taxable property real ana
personal, reaches 81 230, 113, 5S5. The actual
sum on which the tax rate will be levied.
which by law is one-fifth of the full value.
Is $446,02217. Figuring at fat rate OF
per cent this would yield LIZ, 5so1s In
revenue.
This information is the result Of labors
of the Board of Review, whose books
were closed recently. The board.
which went into session July and
closed August p added s74,7Os.240 to the
figures compiled by the Board Of Assessors
this year. This is figuring on the full
valuation. which in the case Of the re-
turns made by the assessors was $780,
369Sl0, while the Board of Review fixed
the total at $574, 9S7.5 $50. The comparison
between the work of the two boards 10 In
personal property alone. The action In
real estate resulted in reduction of the
assessors figures to the sum OF ;iAoeo, $50
in full value and taxed value of sass, 146.
There was. however. an increase In the
realty assessment OF s4O.05s.74b in full val
ues over the work of the Board of Review
for last year.
The full values returned by the Board OF
Review for 1906 was 81 .6sS, 464,14S. as against
s., 59S, 900 for 1906. The tax values for
the same years are ssls. 6s1. $50 for 1906 as
against 1927, 6s2S2s for 1906, giving an ex-
cess OF SOILS for the boards work this
year over that of last year in the tax

Not content with rsgaining the ground
lost, plans were at once made 10 recon
struct on better lines. As a first step IL
was enacted that all buildings over eighty
five feet In height must be hreproof
throughout. and buildings under that height
be of the lesser grade of protection known
simply as freproof. II was possible to
face one such FIRE oheerfulIy, but a repe-
tition was not invited. Secondly, 100 lots
made vacant were acquired by the city for
broadening streets, laying out one new
street and increasing the docking facilities.
For this last purpose an appropriation of
Sl2o0oOoo has been made, which covers
the cost of dredging the harbor. The ma
tional government came 70 the aid of the
stricken city with an appropriation OF
S@OOO'oOo for new custom house, the for
mer one being among the buildings de-
stroyed. The massive walls of the court
house, which had stopped the progress. OF
the names, were reconstructed at cost
OF 100000. A sewerage system to cost
tO,oooO00 was contracted for. In addition
to these sums the city raised 100000 for
the improvement OF what is called the
Annex" an outlying district OF the city;
100000 for the Improvement of the park
system, 100000 for street paving, 81, 900, 900
for the construction OF school houses and
