large, but range from "culls'' used for
watch jewels to gems averaging. when
they are as large as five carats. They
are really very fine gems, of good color,

A word which the patent attorneys
are working to death is resilient" 1t
Is very difficult for patent attorney to
make an application without jamming
in this word in some place. None Of
them seems to have a very clear idea
of its meaning, or at least they use it
in widely different senses, all of which
seem to pass the Patent Examiner. Re-
silent comes from the Latin "resiliens, -
meaning leaping or springing back, TO
recoil. Its more general sense is that
of elasticity, but careful writers make
a distinction. Patent attorneys are not
very sensitive. as to the meaning Of
words, and they use resilient for any
thing that is not stiff and resistent.

The immense increase in the demand
for india rubber has set the chemists of
the world to work to provide a substi-
tute. Automobiles and electricity are
responsible for raising the worlds con-
sumption of rubber up to $4,000 tons
year, and it is getting more and more
difficult to have this supplied in the
natural way. Chemists are at work at
tempting to make the mineral
caoutchouc, or elastic fossil bitumen.
which exists plentifully in England and
France. into an artificial india rubber
Some success has been attained in this
direction. Also, they are reviving the
old process of making rubber out of
linseed oil by treating it with nitric acid
Others have hopes that artificial rub
ber can be obtained from tar or turpen-
tine by the use of sulfuric acid.

Great Father would send other young
warriors there to gather our bones and
revenge our deaths on his people. when
our spirits would rejoice In hearing our
exploits sung in the war songs of our
chiefs"
The conference ended this way, and
Pike marched on with his party well
closed up, and guns loaded, ready for
trouble. His instructions to his men
were t. fire one shot, and then rely on
the bayonet and saber. Fortunately the
Indians did not offer any resistance, and
he reached the "Arkansaw'' at the
Great Bend. near the center of the
present State Of Kansas.
Here Lieut.. Wilkinson, with some of
the privates. left with dispatches to
float down the "Arkansaw" to a United
States fort near its mouth.
Pike continued on up the "Arkan-
saw, feasting "sumptuously'' on choice
bits of buffalo meat. He began to find
signs of the Spaniards. and Nov. 9 came
to deserted camp, in which they
counted 90 fires. showing that probably
600 or 700 men had been there. This
did not deter him. however. and he
marched on. to find the country more
sterile and little forage for his horses,
which were beginning to give out. They
cut down the cOttonwOods along the
stream for their horses to browse on.
The Spaniards and Comnnchcs.
AS he Travelled, Pike learned much of
the Spaniards' methods of dealing with
the Indians. especially the Ietans or Co
manches, who were n very troublesome
tribe. Don Facienlo Malgarcs, the
Spanish Governor, had come to ian
excellent understanding with them -
and Pike tells of Il meeting between the
