PATENT OFFICE is FLOODED.
Press of Inventions Leads to Demand
for Larger Quarters.

The inventive breed is not dying out
in America The commissioner of pat
ents at Washington calls loudly for
larger quarters, more clerks and big
ger pay for overworked examiners.
There is such a flood of new devices
pouring into the patent office as was
never seen before. The examiners are
fairly swamped and are full year
behind in their work.
Naturally enough, motors and SUBJ
marine and aerial navigating devices
lead the list. Modern man insists
upon flying, and the inventor who
adds speed to his passing to and fro
upon the earth, in the air, or in or
under the water is certain of his re-
ward
The inventors are no believers in
the early coming of peace among the
nations, for improvements upon weap-
ons and new explosives are well nigh
as numerous as new motors. Yet
with all this cunning for gain and
racing for fame on the part of the in
ventors the chances are that some I'M
considered trifle like the wooden ball
with rubber string, or the globe
catch for women's purses will win the
largest rewards in the future as in the
past.

VENICE HAS NO CEMETERY.
City Buries Its Dead on the Little
island Of San Michele.

The Queen of the Adriatic, as We.
netians love to term the famous old
city, is privileged in many respects
and in one particular at least she is
unique among the cities of the world.
She has no cemetery. The only bury
ing ground is the little island of
San Michele, lying solitary among the
lagoons at some distance from the
city.
This is one of the boons which
Venice owes to Bonaparte, who recog-
nized the danger to population from
burial grounds in such situation
and had all intramural graveyards
closed and ordered the dead to be
taken for burial to this island resting
place. The place is deserted all the
year except on All Souls day, and
then there is a tremendous outflow
of about 100000 persons.
AS such multitudes could never be
landed from boats boat bridge has
to be built specially for the occasion.
with strict regulations as to control
of the living stream in its outward
and backward flow.

come time to go west at midnight"
How about side trip you took
west that afternoon"
Cheney was cropping in the dark.
He knew he had the thief right there;
the mans whole manner showed it,
He was watching him narrowly and
sooner or later Simpson would break
"Gawd. boss, I didn't go west that
aftahnoon." But his manner betrayed
him; the trail was getting warm
Cheney determined upon a grandstand
play. jeff had spoken of a soda
water bottle" joke between Simpson
and Ferguson. Cheney found out
Belfast ginger ale was sold on Pull
man Bullets and he had an empty bot
tie of that kind in his drawer.
Watching Simpson like hawk he
pulled it out and suddenly showed it
in front of the negro.
Ever see that?" he said sharply.
Simpson turned lighter than ever;
his knees almost shook from under
him; his eyes started fromi his head
and he constantly moistened his
parched lips with his tongue. He was
cornered, trapped; white mans intu-
ition and ingenuity had overawed
negro criminal instinct and cunning.
''Wh-wha-whar yo'- git - dat -
bottle, boss?" he asked.
Where you left it,
''Whah l left it? Why, l dun give
dat bottle to Lige Ferguson
Yes, Ferguson is under arrest in
about it."
And he did. 1t appeared when
Count Rossi and his party went in the
observation car Simpson put the
money and jewels in an empty soda
water bottle; he packed them tight
and sealed the bottle securely. About
thirty miles west of Ogden he dropped
the bottle in the sandy beach of Salt
Lake. He marked the spot well. After
the search he began to plan to get
back there. Getting left at Ogden was
all ruse, done Intentionally.
Simpson did go west on freight
and returned in time to catch 101
west At Omaha on his return east
Lige Ferguson met him, having come
west on the Burlington. Simpson
gave him the bottle and later they
would divide the spoils. That was all,
"Shelp him, Gawd!" That was
enough. Ferguson confessed his part
and the jewels and money were recov-
cred. Both men got Is years in Salt
Lake penitentiary.
The jewels and money were sent to
Count Rossi, and true to his word he
sent the money back to Col Cheney
Jeff's reward was commensurate
with the service he had rendered.

Disliked the Word Death"

"Decease" is now a regular form of
word for death. But it began as gen.
tie euphemism, "decessus" (departure)
seeming much less harsh to the Ro-
mans than "mors." All languages
abound in euphemisms of the kind,
which go back to a snperstitious re-
luctance to mention death plainly,
that gradually passed into a kindly
desire to soften the idea. Passed
away" departed" gone" expire
(breathe OUT, mo MORE" demise"
and even "the late" are expressions of
this nature. Most striking of all is the
Roman euphemism for "he is dead
"vixit," he has lived.

CARE OF THE SICK ROOM.
Abevs All Things the Walls Should
Be Kept Dry.

When the bedroom becomes a sick
room there is an added reason why ex.
treme precautions should be used to
keep the room in a thoroughly sanitary
condition.
Above all things, the bedroom should
never be damp. 1t should be nice and
dry, always warm and comfortable in
winter, cool and airy in summer, and
bright and sunny some parts of the
day.
If there is any SUSPICION of damp
ness in a bedroom it is probably due,
if there is wallpaper on the wall, to
! the absorption of water by the paper
! which frequently acts as plotting pa
per and holds quantities of water in it,
The use of wallpaper on walls is to
be deplored; it means disease, i'll
health and unhappiness. 1t is fire.
quently the cause of lung trouble, not
only because of it's dampness but also
because of its power to retain infec-
ton of many kinds.
The desired method of treating a
bedroom wall is to tint it for the ala
Dastined wall is perfect wall. 1t
never fakes off, chips or peels. 1t alb
serbs moisture and eXpels it, it opens
the pores of the plaster and makes a
room livable and breathable.
The floor in the bedroom should
have light, cleanable, dainty rugs that
can be easily shaken and a floor that
is thoroughly oiled or vanished, that
will not absorb moisture. The cracks
in the floor should be thoroughly filled
and covered. Woodwork in the bed
room should be attended to carefully,
window stills should be thoroughly var
nished or waxed, and the window cas-.
ings kept in perfect order The doors
should be wiped off frequently as also
should be all the standing woodwork
in the bedroom, as the presence of
dust on woodwork is a menace to
health as well as an evidence of poor
housekeeping.

Could Not Afford Title,

Many times did the German emperor
press the title of prince upon Herr
Won Bulow before the latter would
accept. The statesman wanted the
title, but could not afford to live up
to it. OF this the kaiser knew moth
ing, of course. At length, about Is
months ago, a relative of Won Blu
low died, leaving him $1,350,00O. A
few days later he showed the kaiser
legal notification Of his good for
tune. The monarch grunted. $50
that was the reason-my prince" he
said, laying stress on the title. why
did you not say so before?"

Sheep Raising In Australia.

The greatest industry of Australia is
sheep raising, mainly for the sake of
the wool, but also in part, of course,
for the meat. Australia now ranks
second among the great sheep-raising
countries, Argentina being first with
100000 sheep, Australia second with
100000, and Russia third with TO-
100000. Only few years ago Aus
tralta was first, possessing no less
than LOG, 100000 head of sheep That
was in 1891. Prolonged droughta were
the cause of the destruction of many
millions of Australian sheep, but since
1902 there has been an annual gain.
Yet these sheep were not indigenous
to Australia. They were first intro
duced in 1897, being of the Spanish
merino species.

Invaluable curative properties of the pills

from stomach trouble. For long time
was subject to bad spells of faintness
and lack of breath accompanied by all
indescribable feeling that seemed to
start in my stomach. Whenever was
little rundown or over-tired, these
spells would come on. They occurred
frequently but did not Last very long.
81 was confined to my bed for ten
weeks one time and the doctor pro-
nounced my trouble chronic infiamma-
ton of the stomach and bowels. Since
that time I have been subject to the
fainting spells and at other times to flut-
tering of the heart and a feeling as
though I was smothering. Ny general
health was very bad and was weak and
trembling.
81 had seen DR.. Williams Pink Pills
mentioned in the newspapers and de-
cided to try them. When began taking
the pills was so rundown in strength
that I could hardly do any homework.

Retaining Land in India.

A scheme is proposed at Lahore,
India, by the government to reclaim
a large area of land on the Dutch
plan. The Ram of Clutch is sea-
shore waste, with narrow inlets which
would be closed, allowing the shallow
water to evaporate. The saline de-
posits would be washed out by a
great canal from the Indus. The ap-
plication of scientific agriculture to
the reclaimed land and the construc-
ton of a railway linking Karachi and
Bombay " )uld complete the enter
prise.
