American System Superior.

'As to the comparison OF the patent
system Of the United States with those
Of other countries, we venture the opin-
ion that our system is vastly superior
to any and every other patent system in
the world. This is generally acknowl-
edged even in foreign countries, and. in
fact the present patent laws OF Great
Britain and Germany were modelled after
the patent laws of the United States, and
this is true to some extent OF several
other countries.
'It may be admitted. perhaps. that
there are some slight defects in the pat
ent system Of the United States. for per-
lection is difficult OF attainment, but these
defects are very minor ones.

Commissioner Moore, when asked re-

athletics and the boys drill and play
football and cricket.
In addition there are thousands of
classes taught by the monks. Every
village has its monastic school and
such boys as do not go to the other
schools attend 1t. The girls dare not
come near the monasteries, for the
priest who would touch or talk with
woman would be defiled. 1t is a
part of the duty of the monks to teach
and they charge no tuition. The boys
are taught to read and write and they
learn elementary arithm They study
out loud and commit to memory the
prayers and hymns of AErd Buddha.
They are supposed to pray night and
morning, one of their morning prayers
reading as follows:
How great a favor has the Lord
Buddha bestowed upon me in showing
me his law, by the keeping of which

LONELIEST JOB
IN THE WORLD

From the Washington Post.
The most monotonous existence in the
world is that led by pipe line walkers of
Kansas, Oklahoma and Missouri. For a
great many years the army picket. the
sheep herder and the railroad track in
spector have debated the question of
which led the loneliest existence, but
their life is gay compared with that of
the pipe line walker.
The pipe lines carry natural gas to the
cities. where 1t is utilized in lighting
homes, heating them, and supplying in
dustries with cheap fuel. The pipe lines
radiate in all directions from the gas
centers. 1t is absolutely necessary that
the pressure be maintained. The great
est menace of the maintenance of proper
pressure is the possibility of leaks in the
pipes. and to see that there are no
breaks several hundred men are en-
ployed Their business is to get up at
daylight and walk till darkness comes,
hunting for trouble.
The lines are divided up into sections
of 10 or Is miles, and a man is detailed
to watch each one He must walk from
one end of the section to the other and
then back again during the day. The
Jobs pay from $50 to 800 a month. and
there is nothing to do but walk and listen.
Most of the patrolmen are young fell
lows who think they have fallen Into a
snap A good many of them are col

recreation or to regain their health. They

SIX TEAMS
ARE EXPECTED

At the meeting Of the Hawaiian AS
ISOLATION Football League last night,
the following officers were elected:
President, j. NJ Macconel; vice-pres-
ident, L. b. Blanchard; secretary, r.
p. w. Gray; treasurer, Harry Bailey;
and manager, S. Chilingworth.
The large attendance indicated that
the coming season would be an en-
thusiastic one, but the number Of
competing teams will not be known
until the next meeting of the Asso-
citation which is to be held in about
ten days time. 1t is anticipated that
the Marines will enter a team and al
so the Kamehameha schools, which
would bring the competing teams IN
to six and enable three games to be
played each Saturday.
General discussion ensued after the
election of officers, but nothing was
done beyond considering various mat
tiers Of but slight Importance. The eX-
ecutive will make all arrangements for
the season and these will be announc-
ed at an early date.

KING AND KAOO.

Soldier King ran a fast six miles
yesterday afternoon, but he collapsed
early in the seventh and had to be as
sisted off the field Those who are
oognisant of Kings capabilities do not
place any importance on yesterdays
collapse, and it is expected that King
will run as well as ever he did this
afternoon and on Sunday. Before he
broke down King cut out the six
miles in 80 minutes 80 seconds, a tri-
fe under a mile in six minutes. This
is good going, being much better than
anything Kaoo has done, but Kaoos
friends look to their champion to do
much better i'm the race than he has
done in training. From all appearance
es the race will prove an interesting,
fast encounter. King will probably try
TO run Kaoo off his feet early in the
race, but this is exactly what it is
claimed will suit Kaoo, who is credit
ed with being able to maintain just
as fast a gait as King.
