HOW INVENTIONS WE'RE STOLEN
Precautions Taken Before Days of Pat
ents to Preserve Trade Secrets.

Precautions Taken Before Days of Pat
ents to Preserve Trade Secrets.
Before patents were granted for
inventions, the inventor had but one
way to secure a return from his in
vention. That was to keep 1t secret.
Secret inventions were the most
valuable possessions Of many fami-
lies and guilds But in proportion to
their value, they tempted the cupidity
of competitors. The secret Of MAX
ing Venetian glass was greatly priced
and was most jealousy guarded. A
Venetian named Paoli, who possess
ed the secret. left Venice and wander
ed northward practising his art. He
was stabbed in Normandy with a
dagger marked "Traitor"- a measure
taken to preserve the secret.
In 1710 the elector Of Saxony learn
ed that a man named Bottger had dis
covered the secret Of making porce-
lain. He accordingly confined him in
the castle of Albrechtsburg until the
discovery had been perfected. The
workmen were sworn to secrecy, and
the drawbridge was kept up except to
admit those specially authorized. Thus
was the manufacture of the famous
Dresden ware begun. The secret was
soon carried to Vienna, where royal
factory was established, and to
France, where it was the foundation
of the manufacture Of the famous
Sevres pottery.
The stealing of the secret of MAX
ing least steel" in an interesting ex-
ample. A matchmaker narned Hunts
man was dissatisfied with the Watch
springs the market afforded, and in
1850 conceived that II he could cast
the steel into an ingot, springs made
from it would be more homogeneous
His conception was successfully car
ried out. and a large market was es-
tablished for "Huntsman's ingots.
Large works with tall chimneys were
soon built.
Every effort was made to keep the
secret. No one was admitted to the
works. The process was divided and
persons working on each part were
kept in ignorance Of other parts OF
the work. One bitter winter night
man, dressed as a farm laporer'
came to the door apparently in an ex-
hausted condition and asked admit
tance. The foreman, deceived by ms
appearance into thinking the man
was incapable of understanding what
he would see, let him in.
The man dropped down in sight OF
the furnaces and seemed to sleep
Through furtively open eyes he saw
the workman cut bars Of steel into bits
and depositing them into crucioieS
nut the crucibles in furnaces and urge
the fires to the highest pitch. The
workmen had to protect themselves
from the heat by wet cloths. Finally
the steel melted, he saw the cruclbles
| were withdrawn and the steel was
cast into moulds-and the secret was
secret no longer-Amerlcan Indus

Hume stood thunderstruck. Wha
incredible thing was this? The rich
powerful Bellamy seeking a starving
freezing wretch at nine o'clock a
night. and inviting him to his owl
house!

kindly; land don't keep me waiting

Confident that he was laboring under
some amazing hallucination, Hume pu
out his oil lamp, and like man in 6
dream, followed his visitor down the
stair to a handsome brougharl which
waited at the door Of the lodging
house.
The two rolled away in the direction
of Copley Square, and stopped before
a brownstone palace, where the grea'
operator lived. Transformed into the
most affable of hosts, Bellamy ushered
his guest into a magnificent interior
full Of summer warmth and fragrance
and lighted with many lustres.

Directly Hume found himself seated
at wonderful repast-a feast fit fol

brought in the steaming dishes and
poured the wine. DR.. Bellamy did moi
talk much during the meal. Perhaps
he meant to give his gaunt, hollow
eyed guest a full opportunity to enjoy

servant was dismissed he leaned back

So persuasive was his tone that
Hume began to tell the whole story OF
his struggles and privations. The
great man listened attentively.

He quietly slipped a check into
Hume's hand
You can repay me at your own con-
venlence. Come. this Is New Years
Eve. Consider your misfortune buried
tonight with the dead year, and to-
morrow look for new. and better

An hour later Nigel Hume went back
to his lodgings, and TO relieve his
overwrought feelings executed a wild
fling in his poor bare room.

The Birds Knew Him

The death of Francois Copper in Paris
is announced. He was a poet, dramatist
and writer of romances, but his best
work was his poetry, and he was held
by the poor of France in much the same
estimation that Bobbie Burns was and
is by the poor of Scotland. He was so
essentially kind that as he walked
though the Luxembourg Garden the
birds would light on his shoulders and
arms for the crumbs which he always
carried in his pockets for them. And
he would talk to them and they would
twitter back to him and they were all
tenants in common of the Garden as
much as were Adam and Eve and the
birds in the first garden before cruelty
was born into the world

Sealsr Class NIsAt.

The graduating class of the Elko
County High School, gave a very pretty
little play at the opera house last night.
This is the first part of the commence
ment exercises of the high school, which
will last until Thursday night.
1t was more of class entertainment
as none but members of the gradual
ing class participated Preceding the
play there were exercises consisting of
the history of the class of 'O8, the for
tunes of the various members, as told
by three witches in the woods, and the
class will was read, in which the class
as whole and the various members be-
queathed to the class of 90 all that had
been theirs during the past year, as the
senior class in the high school. Their
hopes, their fears, their joys and sorrows
all the pleasures and responsibility in g.
cluded in and attached to being seniors,
and charged them to uphold and main
tain faithfully the honor and dignity
of the exalted position that they were
about to assume
. These exercises were interspersed
with songs by the class, and class and
high school yells from the gallery.
The play itself, farce in three acts,
was we'll handled, and as a comedy was
great success, provoking much laugh
ter from the audience
A large crowd was in attendance and
all seemed highly pleased with the en-
tertainment.
Following is a list of the members of
the class of '08 of the Elko County High
School: Loren Angel, Alfred Smith,

ASBURY PARK,
Especial to the Evening Start

Especial to the Evening Start
ASBURY PARK, Aug. 13.-By the
verdict of the Beach Commissioners,
the "Salome" dance Is far too naughty
for Asbury park.
The general verdict Of the public,
after hearing this decision Is hat half
the truth about the dance has never
been written. 1t is known that the
Beach commissioners have seen almost
everything that has happened i'll AS
bury during the past few years, in
Guiding the advent of the sheath bath

lone dance was given a verdict of
thumbs down" is u disappointment to
many.

terday, which resulted in the issuance
of the order against further produc-
tons, was mild. 1t was performed by
a French woman, and appeared to be d
modified 'houchee couchee."
Notwithstanding his anti-race sui
eide stand and a cleverly worded nYi-
tation pressed home by an a~llusion 10

for vice-president, grace the occasion
by his presence, as he has been DONG
for the past several years. The latter,
in atelegram to the carnival associa-
ton, declares that he is up to his ears
in political work
Nearly $50 children have already been
entered for the parade. This is far
ahead of the record for the same date
a year ago. The old records show that
fye-eighths o the registrations of in
fants are made during the last ten
