Haydn's oratorio. The Creation, given by the Westerly High school chorus in High school hall Tuesday evening, was an artistic and financial success and showed careful training of the chorus by Robert Merton Clark, musical director bf the public schools, who directed the production, with Miss J. Emelie Zangrandi.
 The soprano solo parts were taken by Mrs. Frank l.. Sample of Spring field, formerly of New London, and her distinct enunciation, and rich, clear voice had much to do with the success of the production. Thest tenor soloist was George Oscar Bowen of Springfield and the bass solos were sung by Wall ter B. Marsh of New York. The seat ing capacity of the hall is four hun dred. and that number enjoyed the oratorio to the limit of satisfaction.

WAS INVENTION OF A BOY

Among the governments patent
exhibits is a collection of miniature
steam engines. Models of the
engines of Hero, of Alexandria,
of Newcomb and of Watt illustrate
the successive steps in the develop
ment of what has become the giant
of our modern industry There
may be sen a model of the early
engine upon which boys were
employed to turn the cocks that
alternating, let the steam on and
shut it off. One of these boys,
Humphrey Potter, by name, instead
Of settling down like a machine to
the monotonous work. kept his
eyes open. He discovered that q
certain beam above his head worked
in unison with the cocks that he
opened and closed. He accordingly
connected the two. and and after
seeing that the device worked
properly, ran off to play.
His employers began to notice 3
much greater regularity in the
movement of the engine than be-
fore; Lthis led to the discovery Of
his secret, and to the subsequent
adoption of his device every where.
An examination of the model OF
the engine to which the scoggar
was applied arouscs in one the
wonder, not that the hoy thought
Of it, but that anybody before him
should have failed to do so. This
is the latter thought" Of a great
many notable inventions. Op.
ponents of the patent sys TEN otter
raise the point that all great
inventions are "in the air." that
the same suggestion sooner or later
will come to great many different
men, and hence that the patent il
simply reward to the one who
happens to arrive first.
Patent experts acknowledge
considerable basis for this con.
tention. They say also that the
lament often seen in the newspapers
"His invention died with him,
referring to a secret process, Is
rarely borne out by events.

TALE OF YACHTING CRUISE
How a Hostess Arranged a Breakdown
and Got Rid Of Her Bored
Gueste.

A few seasons back a well-known
hostess chartered splendid yacht for
August and invited large number OF
her friends for three-week cruise. At
first all went well. though the party
was not specially well assorted; but
after n few days they began to evince
signs Of being somewhat bored with
each others company.
The hostess marked these signs OF
incipient boredom. which became more
plainly evident each day. and at last In
despair she took counsel with one OF
her guests. an old and experienced
yachtsman.
What on earth shall do to amuse
these people?" she asked
Phe yachtsman looked at the serene
sky and calm. blue water. and shook
his head doubtfully.
~ storm would enliven them up a
bit" he said, but the weather looks
quite settled. There Is only one thing
to be done. You must arrange a break
down. the engineer will manage that
all right for you. He has probably
often done so before. Then you must
make for the nearest port for repairs,
and let your guests have a run ashore
Some OF them. ! expect, will find an
excuse for bidding you good.by and
those who remain with you will get
along all right together"
The hostess took her guests advice,
and arrived at Toulon a day later,
where nigh twenty Of her guests bid
her good-by.-M. A. p.
