John Redmond has always been a

has to accompany all this, and one which
is the most important of all. This is
either a label or outer package cover. or
whatever is used to cover the goods sold,
showing that the trade mark for which
registration Is sought had been in actual
use before the application is made The
length of time it has been used is inn
materia-it may be ten years or even a
single day.
There is however, another way of Sc
curing the exclusive right to use a trade
mark and that is by using it. If after
it has been used on your goods another
attempts to use it likewise he be
prosecuted on the ground of attempt at
fraud under the common law This is
one instance in which the common law
holds, and in which the claim of prior
ity stands good. OF course, it is to be
proven that it is yours through actual
use When, then. is it necessary to go
to the expense and trouble Of securing
registration for a trade mark? The an
swer is two-fold. When a trade mark
has been duly registered it is prima facie
evidence that it is your property. In
the case of suit, If your case is won,
three times the cost of damages may be
secured whereas in the other instance
only damages could be obtained. In the
case of winning the suit, too, all dies
to yours would be destroyed. And per-
haps most important of all is the fact
that in the case of a registered trade
mark suit can be brought in the federal
courts, and the outcome thus made
public record
There are two terms applied to trade
marks 10 determine their character. \
trade mark is either technical or non
technical. A technical trade mark Is one
which is purely imaginative, and has no
absolute meaning when by itself. In
other words, it is some fanclful picture
of value only when associated unmistak-
ably with certain goods. On the other
hand non-techncal trade mark is one
that has direct reference to the goods
on which it is used. 1t may, for example,
claim certain qualities for the goods,
some fact of a similar character: this
makes 1t what is termed a non-technical
trade mark.
Under the law cited above, nontechni
cal trade marks are not registerable.
There is, however, single exception to
this rule. In 1903, the date of the enact
ment of the last trade mark law, it was
ruled that no non-technical trade mark
should be registerable, unless it had been
used prior to 1895. Thus. if a man had
used a non-technical mark in 1894, and

the next law was passed This was based
upon the commerce clause of the ConSti-
tuition and provided that to secure a reg
istration of a trade mark the goods upon
which 1t was used had either to be used
in connection with foreign commerce or
with the Indian tribes. Thus. interstate
commerce did not suffice. and thereby
made il impossible for a large number Of
people to secure registration. 1t also pro-
vided that all trade marks registered
under the previous act be Cancelled. The
clause upon which this act was based
brought up the question of whether or not
a trade mark is an inStrumentality OF
commerce. even now the matter IS still
in allegiance. Under this law, which CON
tinued in force for tWenty-four years,
there were 34.o9o trade marks registered.
In February. 1900. the last of these
three trade mark laws was passed. This
law provides that foreign commerce OF
trade with Indian tribes is no longer
necessary, and that simply by interstate
commerce it is possible to secure regis
tration. None of the trade marks regis
tered under the previous act was to be
discontinued until after thirty years. Up
until this time the registration fee had
been So. but with the enactment OF this
law it was reduced to $40, the present

How One Cover Was Made to Fit q
 ROomfui of sIeepers.
 A writer in a French magazine tells R curious story about how they man. age cheap lodging houses in China.
 Along Chinese roads, it seems, there are many of these lodging houses, where the charge for a nights lodg. ing IS considerably less than 1 cent. All the bedding provided is one huge mass of feathers, into which all the guests burrow.
 Formerly they used to get blankets, but some time ago those who ran these primitive inns learned that their losses on account of the theft of blankets by guests were far too large Something, they decided, had to be done. Finally an ingenious man among them hit on this:
 Over the feather filled room of his lodging house he hung an enormous canvas covering. In the daytime it hung near the ceiling. Al night it was lowered by means of pLlleys until it covered the entire mass of feathers and all those sleeping thereon. thus taking the place of individual blankets. This huge canvas was provided with a large number of small slits through which the guests might stick their heads and escape suffocatiOn beneath the immense covering.
 Early each morning the loud pound. ing of a drum served to waken the sleepers and warn them to get their heads out of the sits in the canvas Thereupon t was raised again to the ceiling and fastened there to await the next batch of sleepers.

THE FIRST AER0NAUT.

KinssIey's Queer Idea and an Embar-
 rassing Coincidence.
 Charles Kingsley was at a dinner once with the aeronaut COxwell. It was shortly after Coxwell and a companion had made 2 flight in which they had risen so high that Coxwell's hands were frozen and he had time only to tear open the air valve with his teeth. A. c. Benson tells the story in ''The Leaves of the Tree" in the North American Review. After dinner Kings ley suddenly said:
 q have often thought that the first man that ever went up in a balloon must have been a d-dentist."
 Some one laughed and said, "What an extraord- nary idea"
 "I don't know" said Kingsley. "A man who is always looking down peoples throats, and pulling their teeth about, and breathing their breath, must be inspired with tremendous desire to get away and above 1t all."
 Coxwell leaned forward and said very good humoredly, "Well, MT. Kingsley, it is true that am dentist, but 1t was not that that made me be- come an aeronaut"
 ''My d-dear MT. Coxwell," said Kingsley, flushing red, "I am sure I beg your pardon. had no idea it was so. You must have thought me singu- larly i'll hammered to make a joke of it."
 Kingsley could not recover his spirits for the rest of the evening. He hated giving pain to any human being more perhaps than anything in the world.

 The emitting of the Sunday even- ing meeting on the Hill is not for lack of interest of the usual attend ants, but for the reason that a greater good to greater number may be the result of Sunday evening mee tings held alternately at the chapel, West Wilmington, Holland side, and at the sohoolhouse, East Wilmington.
