FIRE INSURANCE.
Fun Amount May Not BE Paid Even
When loss Is CompIete

Fun Amount May Not he Paid Evsn
when Lcss Is Complete.
In fire insurance policy the sum In
sured merely marks the maximum liza
bility accepted by the insurance COM
pany and determines the premium to
be paid. 1t is not in any way admitted
by the Insurance Office as a measure
Of the value of the property insured.
II have life policy for f5.00O,
says writer In the Nineteenth Cen
tury, my heirs can, on proof of my
death and their title, receive at least
5000, possibly more II there are bo-
muses.. II l have a ship and I insure
her with marine insurance companies
for 5000, can recover the full 5000
at once should my ship be totally lost.
But If insure my house against
fire for $1,000 cannot recover 5000
unless I can prove the house to be
worth fully that sum. All that am
entitled to demand is the actual value
Of my house Immediately before 1t was
burned, and must give every assist
ance to the insurance company in or
der that the actual value may be justly
determined.
BY statute the insurance company
has the power to reinstate that house,
as far as the sum insured will go, in
stead Of paying me anything. In prac-
tice, compensation is usually agreed
and paid In cash without recourse on
either side TO the right Of reinstate-
ment, but In no case am entitled to
house as 1t existed just before the fire.

THE SHORT LIVED DOG.
tffs Normal Length of Life but Ons
seventh That of Man.

seventh That of Man.
Surely 1t Is by an unfortunate dis
pensation OF nature that the dog. be-
yond all question the chief friend Of
man among the other animals, should
have q normal length OF life which Is
no more, on a fair computation, than
one-seventh OF his own. There is no
other figure which expresses the rela-
tive ages of man and his dog so well.
The puppy Of one year is about at the
same canine age as the child Of seven.
At two years he is probably a little
more advanced than a fourteen-year-
old boy, but the canine age of three Is
very nearly equivalent TO the human
twenty-one. And so Ii continues
through all the years of canine and of
human prime respectively. the ratio
fairly well preserved. 1t has to be adj
mitted that the old age of the dog, thus
computed, outlasts the old age of the
man. One hears stories which seem to
be fairly authentic Of dogs living up
to eighteen, and II we do hear stories
Of human beings living similarly up TO
l26, at least we do not believe them
But such an age for dog is quite the
extreme limit. The dog of ten years
approaches the equivalent of the three
score and ten which had been named
as the fair end Of the human crea-
lures tether, and on the whole the
multiplication Of canine years by seven
all through the stages of life gives the
corresponding age of man better than
any other figure gives Westminster
Gazette.

OLD LEATHER.
Uses TO Which Discarded Boots and
Shoes Are Put.

Shoes Are Put.
Old boots and shoes of leather are
cut UP into small pieces and then are
put for two days into chloride of sui
phur, the effect of which Is to make
the leather very hard and brittle.
When this Is fully effected the mate
rial Is withdrawn from the action of
the chloride Of sulphur, washed with
water, dried and ground to powder.
1t is then mixed with some substance
that will cause 1t to adhere together,
such as shellac or other resinous mate
rial or even good glue, and a thick
solution Of strong gum.
1t Is afterward pressed into molds to
form combs, buttons and variety of
other useful objects.
Prussiate Of potash is also made out
of old leather. 1t Is heated with pearl
ash and old iron hoops in large pot.
The nitrogen and carbon form cyano-
gen and then unite with the iron and
potassium. The soluble portions are
dissolved out and the resulting salt,
added to one Of each. produces the

PATENTS ON INVENTIONS.

Inventors.

Must he In the Names of the Actual
Inventors.
The law provides for the granting Of
patents only to the actual inventor Of
the patented invention, and a patent
granted In the name of any one else
Is invalid. For this reason 1t is essen
tial that the application for patent be
made In the name of the one whom
the law regards as the inventor. In
some factories 1t is the custom to pat
ent every invention In the name Of
the president of the company. This
frequently happens because the COM
pany has been built up on inventions
made by the president or other officer,
and as a matter of pride the president
wishes to see all patents issued in his
name.
This Is dangerous thing to do In
the case of Inventions which were con-
ceived by the employee independently
of the officer, such as inventions wholly
worked out by employee without sug-
gestlon or assistance from the officer,
for If In suit brought under such
patent 1t were shown that while the
natant was granted In the name of the

No human being can come into the
world without increasing or diminish
Ing the sum total of human happiness,
not only Of the present, but of every
subsequent age of humanity. No one
can detach himself from this connec-
ton. There is no sequestered spot in
the universe, no dark niche along the
disk of noneXistence to which he can
retreat from his relations to others,
where he can withdraw the influence
of his existence upon the moral desti-
ny of the world. Everywhere he will
have companions who will be better or
worse for his influence.

enormous quantity of his compositions
was the work of the succeeding twen-

thirty operas and dramatic compost

an immense number of vocal and con-

pork being preferred by the Hoosier
