What Amsrica Needs.

The following editorial from recent issue of The Wal Street Journal, is somewhat remarkable. appearing in a purely financial paper, and is certainly worthy of serious consideration:
 What America needs more than rail- way extension and Western irrigation. and low tarin and bigger wheat crop, and merchant marine. and a new navy, is a revival of piety, the kind mother and father used to have--piety that counted # good business to stop for daily family prayer before break. fast, right iH the middle of harvest 1; that quit field work half hour early Thursday night so as to get the chores borrowed money to pay the preacher g salary and prayer ferventiy in secret for. the salvation of the rich man who looked w.th scorn on such unbusiness- like behavior. That's what we need nov to clean this country of the fifth ana s.F graaft. and m q greed petty and big; and high office and arand social func- tions.

#
 Vienna, Jan. 1a.-@Imitafors of tbe immortal "Gaotain of KoepenicS" con tinue to make daring coups in Europe from time to time. The latest success in this line was scored by an unknown nlan-probably an ex-soIdier who ex- tracted $5,500 from his military treas ury in Vienna.
 The regimental funds of each corps Of the garrison are kept in the Vienna arsenal, and are accessible only to the officers on application to the adjutant of the arsenal. The regulations re- quire three officers from a regiment to attend at the arsenal whenever it Is desired to draw money from the safe.
 One morning young man wearing the uniform of an artillery lieutenant presented himself to the ad1utant at the arsenal, and said he had been sent with two officers who were waiting below, to fetch the money from the safe of the second artillery regiment.
 Without question he was handed the Key, of the strong room. but no one took the trouble to ascertain if the other two officers were really in at tendance--which they were not.
 Having gained access to the strong room. the pretended lieutenant forced one of the iron-bound money boxes and secured bank book and $500 in notes. He then proceeded to the bank and withdrew $1,000.
 When the theft was discovered half an hour later, the lieutenant" had, of course, disappeared. An ex-sergeant of artillery named Goldschmidt, who absconded with regimental funds last year, is suspected of this west Keppe- nick trick

 m speaking of railroad conditions beYore- the recent California Fruit nfowers' Convention. Paul. Shoup, an ofz1cia1 of the Southern Pacific Company, said:
 ssThe fact is not disputed that rail- way building has not kept pace with other business in the last few years. one reason is that. compared with this other business. it has neither the same elasticity possible in expansion, nor the reverse Caution is necessary, for rnofiey invested Is invested permanently in property that cannot be used for any other purpose. But the cardinal reason ia the greater returns in other lines Of investment, or greater promise of re- turns during the last few years

 The figures used are from the Inter- state Commerce Commission reports for 1900 and 1905. the special census for manufactures for 1905. the general cen klls report for 1900 and the Year Book of the Department of Agriculture for 1908. do not wish to weary you here with the result sho owh 1t Is sufficient to say here that for each $1,00o in- vested the net returns to capital for manufactures were $151. agriculture, sos, and railroads. only s44.

next year the Improvements numbered forty out of ffty-one patents.
 There Is an astonishing frequency oi French names in the early patent rec. ords. About 1909 they were especially numerous, and they were generally at tached to some thing rather ambitious in the way of an invention.
 For instance, that year Jean Baptists Aveilhe patented machine for rais- ing water" which Is described in the patent records, with profusion of ex- clamation points and parentheses. as: c perpetual motion D A few months later another Frenchman. named Marentille invented "an insubmersible boat"
 Pills. pills. pilisi Our patent medi- cine appetite is one of long standing for almost the comrnonest object of the early patentee was some form of pills; anti-billious pills. cream of tartar pills, and so one. One of the peculiar de- scriptions is of a patent issued in l7e9 for an "effeminate ropery for spinning rope yarn"
 The present activity in producing mii- itary balloons had a forerunner in 17s9. when Federal balloon" was patent ed. In the same year @check to de- tect commercials" was patented. And in 1900 description of telegraph in- strument, the first appearing in the patent records. was filed by Jonathan Grout, IT,, of Massachusetts. ! In the fifteen years between f7s0 and 1905 only 600 patents were issued That vas big number considering the times. The word "on1y" is used, be- suing suing patents at the rate of 1000 a
 It was not until May $. 1909, that a woman took out a patent. 1t is to Mary Reyes that the honor must be given.
 Who she was or where she lived the records fail to state. Her patent is described as Straw weaving with silk or thread" For six years Mary was alone in her glory as the sole woman patentee in this country Then anoth- CT woman came forward with an idea. This time it was a corset.
 In-lS19 a woman patented cream of tartar. carbonated lfquid:" in 1922 one of them pinned her faith and money to Her idea of a foot stove; in 1923 it was "weaving grass hats" in 1928 a sheet iron shovel: in 1888 1calash balloon for ladies'" in 1884. 'extracting fur from skins and manufacturing 1t into yarn.'

 The ladies proceed to evolve corset stays. skirts, butter workers and sirni- lar appropriately feminine devices, un- til one of them went far afield in 1858 and patented a method of mounting a tiuid lenss.''
 Just what struck Lavinia Toy of Worcester. Mass, in 1863 is not quite clear. but she broke out with a whole bunch of patents. Whether the war stirred the female mind to unusual &C., tivity or not. the women took out more and more patents.

Ask your dentist.

| There was Clarissa Britain of st. Jo. | Mich.. who took out seven in eighteen months all by her own sweet Clarissan self Rosanna Carpenter was also sx- tremely active. In 1888 there were seventy patents taken out by women. The number grew to 361 in 1894, and heaven knows what 1t is now. At any rate. the pat ent office doesn't know. If you want to go over the record of b0.000 patents granted last year nobody will say you
 nay. That's the only way you can find out.
 But after 1884 there was . record compiled of patents issued to women in the previous two and half years, and that contained hints that women were continuing to branch out. Du- ring that time they patented 15 agri- cultural implements, 3-rnotors. 1orse- shoes, 22 building apprrtenances, s fire escapes, railway appliances. including one for unloading box cars; 31 forms of heating apparatus and dozens of other
 such articles. chased under such heads as furniture. culinary utensils, trunks and bags, toys, washing and cleaning, games, baby carriers. art appliances,

 ever.

 unfeminine class. French women are

IT WILL REVEAL TREASURES

Rome. Jan. 1l.--Herculaneum, the ancient Roman city, which has lain for 1.Soo years under the Vesuvian lava, which buried it with Pompet. Is soon Co reveal it's treasures to Italian anti uuaries.
 The Italian government has rejected che proposal to make this important exeavation under the direction of an futernational committee, and will un- dextalxe the work as an exclusively xteiian enterprise. The work will be Financed by the government. and di- recfed by the government, although the authorities will be prepared to take the advice of eminent foreign antiqua- ries.
 The buried city is expected to yield much richer treasures than were re- covered from the ruins of Pompeii, and when the excavation Is completed. 1t will have increased modern knowledge of life under the Caesars to remark able degree,
 It is no exaggeration to say that the exhuruafton of Herculaneum will be the most important work of antiquarian research ever undertaken. since the sudden cataclysm which overlook the city in the full tide of itsf life must have preserved much more of it's char mcteristic features than would have survived if the city had gradually de- cayed.
 This will be the first time that a thorough excavation of HercuIaneum has been attempted. The surface has been hardly more than scratched since the site was discovered in TBS. and the city lies from forty to 100 feet deep. The site has become covered with mod ern villages which have hampered the work of excavation.
 The results. nevertheless, have been more Interesting and valuable than xhose of the pompeilan excavations. They have included a superb Roman villa. probably belonging to Luefus Pisca C6ssonius a Roman noble; fres- ooes of remarkable beauty. some fine stn4uary and about three thousand papyri. containing manuscripts of fa- nous classical authors. The theatre, the forum and a splendid colonnade will be re-exhumed, for they have al- ready been unearthed s-- covered up again.

 The greatest. patentee in this country and that probably means the great est in the worla--ls Thomas A Edison He has rolled up the enormous total oi almost 1000 patents and shows no in- clination to quit.
 Asis--the patent office people who comes next to Edison and they will tell you that nobody is within hailine distance of the wizard. A good many men can count their patents by the score. and as some of them are much younger than Edison. they may beat him out in time.
 Up to the present, however, he de- serves the title of the Great Ameri- can Patentee. That means Q good deal for 1t is undoubtedly a fact that an provocatfon than any other man or wo- man in the world.
 As a consequence the patent office is piIing up swollen fortune, which makes 1t a bloated bondholder among the government departments. It has achieved a surplus of $s.000.600 and is growing richer every day. Yankee in- genuity is gorging the patent office with records and piling up models by the hundred thousand.
 The first patent under this govern ment was taken out by Samuel Hop kins, July s1,, 17s0. It was on pro- cess for making pot and pearl ashes.' .' Two other patents were taken out the same year. One was for making can dles, the other for making Hour and meal.
 Apparently we as a people took kindiy to the patent idea from the very start, for we Jumped from three in ,17s0 to thirty-three in 1791. On March Ii. Samuel Mulliken took out four all by hinaself But .on August 2s, James Ramsey utterly ecIipssd Mulifksn by taking out six.
 That was the greatest day the pat ent oface had known. for within its limits no less than fourteen patents were issued to aspiring genius. Three of these were on Improvements in Captain Savary's steam engine" and one was taken out by the famous John Fitch for "propelling boats By steam" " As eight out of the fourteen patents of that day were for the application of steam it almost deserves to be inlInor- talized as a steam anniversary.
 The next year there came decided reaction, only eleven patents being is- sued in the entire twelve months, not even as many as on the one day in Au- gust of the year before. In 17Se a word which has become the con1monest in the patent office vocabulary began to make itself conspfcuous. It was Jim. provement."

 This gentle American learned to hate the English with a consuming shatred, and in justice to hifs 1t must be said that the type of EngIishmen who makes the Eastern ports his home Jays himself open to dislike because of his overbearing priggishness. But. after all. the man from Chicago, finding that he could not break into Yoko- hama society with<a cold chisel. decided upon returning to the smoky warmth of his native city.
