Some Unpaid Geniuses


 Considering the relatively poor sal aries Uncle Sam pays in Washington. the government certainly has made some splendid investments-not 10 say obtained bargains--in many of its em ployes. says the National Monthly. Almost from the beginning of the government it has been tIe general rule that department employe who made an invention need not turn if over to the department with which he was associated. In the department of agriculture this is one of the estab- lished rules, and the war and navy de- partments also have promulgated a similar regulation. But despite all this It Is the unwritten law--which is more powerful than that on the statute book s that government employe shall nor make money out of his inventions. The government and the people at large. therefore, reap valuable harvest of inventions each year. which cost them nothing and aid lmmeasurably to the public wealth and comfort.
 one of these inventors Is Dr. Marion Dorset, blochemist of the bureau of animal industry. He is n man who first isolated the germ that is respon- sible for cholera in the hog. Then he invented serum to combat. pr. Dor set protected his processes by patents and then turned them over to the pub lie. But anyone who chooses Is at lib- erty to manufacture and use this serum without paying penny tribute If Is an absolute antitoxin It is estimated that this discovery of pr. Dorset's is saving the nation about $150O0 900 a year in this one branch of its food supply.
 Dr. Dorset Is also the inventor of a secret ink used by the government in stamping meats that have been passed upon by the federal inspectors in the packing houses. Prior to Dr. Dorset s discovery the government was paving private firm $60000 a year for metal tags for the same purpose. The ink is far more effective, for it puts the stamp into the meat itself. It cannot be trans forred. Dr. Dorset receives a salary of $3500 year.
 The problem of grain standardization used to be considered almost impossible of solution. But year ago J. w. T. Duvel, one of the government experts discovered that there was variation in the weight of grain from to 25 Der cent. due to the amount of moisture contained This was a very important matter because grain grown in a damp country would have an advantage of about 20 per cent over grain grown in a dry climate. pr. Duvel's researches resulted in his inventing moisture tester, by which the percentage of hu- midfty in grain can be ascertained in a very few minutes. This invention is now in use in every grain elevator in America. Not a cent in royalties is paid to anyone for It.

FINANCES NOW.ARE
 GETTING BETTER
London Banks Notify Cor respondents They Will
 Draw Balances

New York, October 6.-That financial relations between this center and London are gradually approaching normal was indicated today, when important British banking houses notified their local corre- spondents of their intention to draw against balances here in the regular way. Exchange on London was firm and with out appreciahle change. The gold pool extended it's activities by purchases of drafts at 495l4.
 Another feature of the exchange mar ket was the large business transacted In bills from Amsterdam, most of which was assumed to be for Berlin. These de- mands coincided with London advices that various loans antedating the mora torum were being adjusted there. In connection with the factors of the gold pool it was learned that some inland reserve banks had arranged to pay their subscriptions into the suhtreasury at Chi cago.
 Representatives of several municipali- ties were in tentative negotiation with local bankers respecting forthcoming loans or refunding operations, and it is expected that some short term note issues will be soon announced. The success of the recent New York city issue has paved the way for other operations of like character, but individually they will be comparatively small.
 Today's supply of cash Tor call and time loans was no larger and rates for these accommodations were unchanged.
 Cash sales of copper metal were re- ported today at 11h cents per pound, the lowest price in almost 13 years. Even at this figure supply was said to be much in excess of demand. More shading of prices for steel and iron products was announced in jobbing circles with further rumors of reduced wage schedules
 The annual report of the Northern Pa cifio Railway company showed 8 decrease in total operating revenues of over s4.000, 0O0, which was reduced to net loss of s93o,0eo by a substantial saving in cost of operations.

WHOLESALE TRADE
 CONTINUES GOOD Dealers Are We'll Supplied. Steady Demand for
 Creamery Products

Business continues good on Morris ave nue, and the dealers as rule are well supplied. There were no changes In grain quotations yesterday. and flour prices are also firm. The demand for flour is said to be fairly good, and the retailers dc not hesitate to buy in larger quantities than was the case when quotations were at higher levels.
 The demand for poultry and eggs is strong and trade Is quite brisk in this line. Frying chickens and hens are quickly disposed of on the Birmingham market. and new shipments are con stantly arriving in the city The fish dealers are also transacting a satisfac- tory business. although the oyster season has not reached its height. When cold weather prevails, however, the bivalve will come into it's own in Birmingham and elsewhere as a popular article of diet.
 Creamery products meet with steady demand and prices seldom vary to any appreciable extent. No changes in quo- tations were reported Tuesday

Fire Dog Has Trolley Pass

Mike, the mascot fire dog In the quarters of Engine Company at 165 East Fifty-first street. near hird avenue. 10 the possessor of a special trolley pass on the Third avenue railroad. which on- titles him to ride on any car and at any hour of the day and night, says the New York Times The mascot uses his pass principally for visiting the homes of the members of the engine company for hlo meals and occasionally for luxuries that he does not find at the engine house. Mike never attempts to board a car when running to a fire, but races on ahead of the clattering horses and rattling en. zine when there is work to De done.
 Of course. Mikes pass isn't punched by the conductor every time he rides. Tt isn't necessary, because the privilege is un limited, and will remain in effect SO long as he continues on his good behavior. And as Mike is a high-bred Dalmatian hound, bred in the Vanderbilt kennels on Long Island, his department and man ners are regarded as the best to be found in dogdom. The original dog pass" signed by Frederick W. Whitridge. presi- dent of the Third avenue Railway com pany, is shown in a frame on the wall of the engine quarters, but an exact copy of it Is reproduced in engraving on the brass collar of the mascot with his name Suspended from the collar is a firemann miniature brass hemlet.
 A warm friendship has been ,ormed by Mike. cat named Tom, belonging to the same engine company quarters, and one of the horses The friendship shown for one another by this strangely assorted trio of animal cronIes is a source of daily amusement to the thousands of children who pass the engine house to and from school.

Cause for Indignation

From the Chicago Herald. An Oak Park man who has not been married dozen years and who is en- gaged in a business that. seldom keeps him in the city late at night recently attended dinner that lasted longer than he had expected it to. In fact, 1t was after midnight when the last speaker closed his remarks. Then one of the Oak Park mans neighbors offered to take him home in an automobile if hc would wait a few minutes. The few minutes were multiplied several times, and punctured tire added to the delay, the result being that the man who was sel- com out late at night reached home af 2:27 a. m.
 He let himself In as quietly as pos- sible. but he might as well have been as noisy as an auction bridge party His wife was awake and had all the lights in the house going. She had telephoned to number of neighbors for their advice and was about to communicate with the police department for the purpose of let ting it be known that her husband must have met with some terrible mishap. When he got inside the house the lady rushed toward him. crying:
 Charles. dear. what has happened7 ' Are you hurt?'
 No; I'm all right" he replied
 Sse stopped. looked him over hastily and critically and then exclaimed:
 What do you mean by coming home at this time in the morning with nothing the matter with you?'

WINGED ANTS ATTACK SAND PIT WORK FRS
From the New York World.

From the New York World.
 Fort Collins. Col.--Workers q In the sand pits near Wellington have been twice driven from their work in two days by swarms of winged ants The insects have bite that is almost AS virulent as the sting of bees. They have attacked men and horses alike. causing great Jumps and swellings upon the men and driving the horses nearly frantic
 These flying ants are the hatch of this year. When they attain maturity they are equipped with wings. and during the hottest days come to the surface of the sand pits. where many or them fly away. Some are caught by the older workers in the anthiIls and they are shorn of their wings and carried back into the galleries to become industrious members of the community. The swarms usually come out early in July. but this year they have been delayed by wet weather. Twice in the last two days teams have run away from the sand, where the insects were emerging fin clouds Men have had to take gunny sacks and whip into the swarms to drive them Iaway. They have killed millions of them in this manner.
 Work at the Wellington sand pit 10 devoted to getting out gravel for the surfa chg of the Lincoln highway. and during the week the pests win be ao- tive. Progress on tho highway ts sems- what delayed.

FAMOUS AS CITY OF WITCHES
Twenty Persons Were Put to Death
 to Stamp Out Black Art

salem Is famous in early Colonial history for it's witches The delusion which led to the execution of 20 per
 sons and the torture of 50 originated through the hysteria of the children of the Rev. Samuel Paris. In the winter Of l691-2 his daughter Elizabeth, aged }; his niece. Abigail Williams, aged II, and several friends used to meet to
 practice tricks, says the New York
 Times. A half-negro slave. Tituba, began to teach them what she called the black art" and soon they were barking like dogs or screaming at some object they said they could see although invisible to everyone else
 Witchcraft was very real thing to the people of the seventeenth century, and Cotton Mather and his teachings encouraged the belief in it. Someone had to be blamed for the folly of the girls, and Paris beat Tituba until she admitted that she had bewitched the children.
 John Indian. her husband, through fear, accused others. and the young people of Salem. notably Ann Putnam, spread the stories. At length a regu- lar reign of terror prevailed in the vil- laee. Any one who had grudge against another could accuse him, and, strangely enough some of those thus oalumniated admitted that they really were obsessed A special court was formed to try those who had sold them selves to the devil. and 1t was unsafe to express doubt of anyone's guilt.
 Paris got the Rev. George Bur roughs, pastor of Salem, hanged as friend of the witches and one colonist. Giles Corey, a man of so. in connec- tion with the craze achieved the dis tinction to be the only man ever slain in America by the old punishment of peine forte ct dure. Accused by Ann Putnam, he was determined to do all he could to save his property for his family. If he was brought to trial and convicted 1t would be confiscated, and the one way he could avoid this was to refuse to plead. So he stood mute as the charge was read to him, and. ac- cording to custom. his obduracy was punished by the peine forte ct dure. Iron weights were piled upon him. but not quite enough to crush him. Then he was left to finger In agony and fed with only enough bread and water to keep him alive.
 Tradition has 1t that the brave old man stood this torture with such cour- age that he taunted his prosecutors and asked them to pile on heavier weights. He died this way and four days later his wife also was tried for witchcraft and hanged

COTTON CONTRACT
 MARKET MAY OPEN
Optimistic Feeling Develops in the New York
 Market

New York, October 5-A more optim- reference to the possibility of reopening the cotton contract market This seemed to be largely the result of persistent ru- mors that the syndicate plan for taking over all the remaining interest in old contracts would be made shortly This plan, 1t was reported contemplates the organization of a corporation to take over all speculative long December cotton at cents pound. Each member and firm of the exchange will be asked to agree to pay tax on all subsequent transac- tions of s2.5o per contract for the round turn. until the total amount paid by the tax shall equal $.50 per bale on the amount Of long cotton taken over by the corporation, plus interest on money bor- rowed from banks and expenses.
 In addition 1t is proposed to form sym dicate which will agree to buy from the corporation. all cotton taken over by the corporation at 71a cents should the mar ket reach that level, and In that event each member of the syndicate will own outright his share of the cotton at 71h cents and can dispose of it as he chooses It Is proposed that the corporation shall sell as much cotton as possible above 71s cents and any firm turning in cotton to the corporation at cents may with draw it absolutely if so desired at that figure.
 The obligation of the corporation to banks for money borrowed and interest will be paramount to all other obliga- tions. The committee having charge of the syndicate plan is said to have been interviewing members of the exchange today, and it is anticipated that the de- tails Of the plan will be announced off cialiy as soon as this canvass Is com pleted It also was reported that the committee on rules and bylaws would make its report to the board of man agers tomorrow.
