A PRIEST INVENTOR.
Many Mechanical Devices Credited to
 His Shill-As to His Slpt Machine

Many Mechanical Devices Credited to
 His skill-As to His 'sl5t Machine
 Father John Milo, of St. Roch's church, is an inventor and in a little room adjoining the church, at 93O East One Hundred and Fiftieth street, which
 he has fitted up as a workshop, he spends what spare time he can get from his pastoral duties hard at work on a mechanical eontrivanee from
 which he expects startling results, but
 which he will not explain or describe
 until itfs patented.
 How many patents have I taken
 out?' he said, in answer to a question. Really, I can't remember. I have
 been inventing things ever. since | came to this country, twenty years ago, As a boy I was of a mechanical turn of mind, and shortly before I left Italy l patented a mechanical mouse, which when wound up would run about in a lifelike manner. l sold it to a French
 man fl3r two thousand lire. In. five
 years he made fortune out of it, but l
 was satisfied. It is not often that the inventor reaps the benefit of his inven- tion, but this thing I am working on now I expect to make lot of money out of will be more careful this
 time. I will get the patent myself Father Milo showed models and l drawings of several inventions he has patented. One was a slot machine in the form cf a pig. If it's tail is pulled it squeals, while at the same time a dial registers the strength of the pull. If a plunger on the pigs back is pushed
 after putting q penny in the slot, the
 pig opens his mouth and out llrpps a piece of chewing gum. Press another
 plunger and the pig is converted into a musician, and instead of squeading plays tunes.
 1T was differed twenty thousand dol lars for that pig sever. years ago by a pepsin chewing gum company" says Father Milo, little respectfully, "but l refused it on the advice of friends. It
 was the first offer I received and l was willing to take it, but they said; Wait; you will get more. Soon after that a bill was passed classifying slot machines as gambling devices, and l
 did not try to do anything with it af- l ter that. Now the market if flooded with them, and don't suppose I could | get five hundred dollars for mine

NEW YORK FUR TRADE.

More Furs Made Up There Than in
 London or Paris Fleeing and Dyeing
 the Fur
 Unnoted by the general observer, an other industrial leadership has come to the United States New York city is now the greatest fur manufacturing center in the world Upward of three thousand establishments for the treat 1ncnt of furs and the making of fur garments are in operation here, and the value of their annual product approxl- mates five million dollars Until a year or so ago London made up more furs than New York, with Paris second and St. Petersburg dividing third. place with the American metropolis London still is the worlds great mart for the raw pelts, the semi-annual auction sales there drawing buyers from all quarters of the globe, But in quantity and value of the finished goods New York has surpassed all.
 Probably nine out of ten persons be- 1ieve that the furs which they buy are 1 of the original natural cl5lors, and, exs cept for being cut to fit required sizes, are in the original natural form. As q matter of fact, maAy furs are dyed, and nearly all are cut andslashed to ribbons and then sewed together again 1 to losk better than they dii before. It is only another example of art Which | is an Improvement on nature.
 It is because of the art which lies in l the making up of furs that this coun- try has forged ahead of the rest of the 1 world in the scientific manufacture of fur garments, American enterprise 1 discovered the artistic possibilities of cutting and pieclng and dyeing, and the ] devotion of fortunes to the trade slon I forced an appreciation of the excellence of the American product Formerly the cheaper but less skilled labor bf 1 Europe retained the bulk of the indus- try abroad.
 A look at the inside of a sable or marten skin prepared to be stitched l into 8 boa or huff is a revelation of the extent to which cutting and replacing are carried out and of the skill shown by the trained workman. These strips,
