Great Inventions Are Rare.

Invention to some extent resembles mining. Thousands of miners plod wearily through the mountains and valleys searching for precious metals or outcroppings of ore. One among thousands strikes the big bonanza. About 800 patents are issued every week by the United States patent of flee. Only one in many years is for something startlingly new and mean ing millions of dollars to the inventor or the people who may gain control of it. Only about one inventor in every hundred secures a monetary return which will equal the cost of the inven- ton and patent. Of the 10000 or 90, 900 patents issued every year there are few which are of such importance as to attract widespread attention. and only at long intervals is there an in- vention which revolutionizes condi- tions, such as the telegraph, telephone, the photograph. typesetting machines. wireless telegraphy, aerial navigation and moving pictures.-Arthur Wallace Dunn in Leslie's.

Mistakes of Bible Makers.

A book compiled by Nathan Haskell Dole recounts some of the mistakes we make in supposed historical facts, in quotations, in pronunciation and the like. It has many bits of out of the way information, including the follow ing:
 In the English rendering of Ruth iv, '. 8, it reads: "A man plucked off his shoe and gave 1t to his neighbor: and this was a testimony in Israel. There fore the kinsman said unto Boaz, Buy it for thee. So he drew off his shoe" The Hebrew word nagal is said to mean sandal only when 1t is followed by regil, the foot. When H stands by itself it means glove. The German word glove illustrates this, for, hand schuh means "handshoe." Therefore the token given in the passage cited was really glove.
 The passage from the New Testa- ment Be ye. therefore. wise as ser pents and harmless as doves" should read simple as, doves" as the Greek word really means unmixed. therefore guileless.
 Evil communications corrupt good manners" probably was cited by Paul as an already familiar proverb, for it was written by Meander, the Grecian comic poet

Grateful Scots and the Baepipes.


 What Scot ever called the pipes a musical instrument? asks Harper's Weekly. In the old wicked days bands of predatory English marched over the border. They were as bold and sturdy as the Scots and far greater in num- Der. Cluny Whauppert the laird of Glengarramoyle, in desperate need of a sure defense invented the pipes in secret and never let a skirl out of them till he faced the invading Sas- senach on the bloody field. Then Cluny blew melody so fierce. so eldritch. so grinding and blistering to the soul. that every clansman ripped and sIashed his way through the Eng lish hordes, intent on only one thing to escape the fiendish screeching of the pipes. And that is why every grateful Scot to this day cherishes the bagpipe. the preserver of Scottish in dependence. He has beaten his sword into a plowshare, but he will always uphold the pipes to beat the band.

The UcIiest Beast,

Probably the ugliest beast in the ing animal called the bearded saki. This is so utterly grOtesque a beast that it would scarcely be safe to let q child or nervous person see it. Tie uG- liness is not of an amusing kind, but of an evil, sinister nature. The beast has d sort of beard and countenance unlike anything else in shape and lines. The monkey itself is not partic- ularly savage, but is so hideous that the natives of its country, South Amer ica, say that no beast of prey, however hungry, will tackle it. Even a hungry jaguar will starve in cageful of sakis. London Mail.
