A Tale of Red Tane.

Among the tales of red tape the fol.
lowing should hold high place: M.
Roger Cavailhon, young French gen.
tleman rider, who had won his hun
dredth steeplechase, was drawn for
the conscriptlon and had to serve for
a year. He asked to be placed In the
cavalry, explaining with due modesty
that he was not unknown as a horse
man. The military council Of revision
refused the request on the ground that
as his period Of service was only one
year he would not have time to learn
to ride.

1t has been declared by lecturer to
the Mothers Club Of New York City
that the official eagle of this country,
as shown in authorized designs, is fe-

tufts Of feathers on head and breast,
and the fact that the female eagle is
larger and stronger than the male.
Nevertheless, most persons think Of the
metaphorical bird as a male. Orni-

sign does not indicate the sex, and the

WOMEN NEED HIGHER EDUCATION.
BY James Bryce.

1t is true that the greatest geniuses
have not been women. Perhaps they
make a better showing against men
in the world Of affairs than in the
world of pure thought, which seems
odd when one considers how seldom
they have had the chance of showing
high craftsmanship. But the argu-
ment that the greatest men have sur
passed the greatest women really is
quite beside the present question.

AMERICAN PATENT LAWS.
By Justice David J. Brewer.

The whole system Of the patent laws in this
country is quite wrong This is the way it
operates: man sends in an application for
patent He has to pay certain sum to have
the patent granted him. 1t is comparatively
small sum. This, Of course, is In addition to
whatever he pays his agent or commissioner

A GIANT COFFEE CORNER.
BY A. w. Atwood.

No country or organization has ever at
tempted to control the price of a commodity
on anything like the colossal scale that is now
being resorted to by the government of Brazil,
and a group Of merchants and bankers asso-
ciated with it. to prevent further decline in
the price of coffee. On Aug. 6, 1906. the Presi-
dent of Brazil signed the so-caled valoriza-
tion BILL providing for $4,000. 900 bond issue

his fee is returned to him.
Now look what happens under the present erroneous
system Of granting patents. The government does not
want to refund the money, and in consequence the coun
try is deuged with Of useless patents The great
majority Of them not original not inventions.
They only distorted applications Of the real nven-
tors idea This reckless and wholesale issuance of pat
ens is detrment to the genius who gives the world an
invention If his invention is Of any real value there
will be thousand other who spring up with slight
notifications it and also get patents The real In
ventor is thus robbed of the proceeds of his genius and
the United States Is afflicted with continual and ceaseless
litigation the subject.
