Any one can make an application for
a patent, paying fee of SIS. An ex-

there is merit to it, calls for model.
If there is no merit the patent is then
rejected and the SIS goes into Uncle

is severe blow to them financially.
Hereafter the patent office will not

viii Cook Eggs In Three Minutes and
Beans While You Wait.
Portland, Ore.-Springs hot enough
to cook beans and boil eggs in three
minutes have been found within a
short distance of Portland. They are
on the C1ackamas river, thirty miles
south of Estacada and seventy miles
from this city.
These springs are fifty in number,
and one throws out a stream seven
inches in diameter. The springs have
been known to the Indians for MANY
years. A French half breed named
Michel Arquette, trapper, hearing an
old Indian of the Molalla tribe speak
OF hot springs this side of the range
made an investigation and found them.
The springs are supposed to be the
hottest in the world-22O degrees.
Beans have been cooked in the larger
spring with the same dispatch ais on a
stove. Eggs encased in a mesh of
any kind have been cooked in three
minutes. Even fish have been caught
IN the Clackamas river and without
being taken off the line have been
dropped into the spring and in very
brief time cooked to turn.
The waters come from solid rock
and are strongly impregnated with
salts, but not Of sufficient strength to
make the taste Objectionable.
Many stories are told by the Indians
with regard to the wonderful proper
ties of these springs, and they have
been known to cross the mountains
from the reservation on the other side
to battle in the water Of the 'big hole,"
as they call it.

ability was in evidence even then,
as on his march he had made it a
point to acquire a number of 3O-4O
rifles, and he had the only squad in
the entire army capable of fighting his
enemies on equal terms with the
Mauser rifles.
Villa gave Madero some trouble be-

I'VE found that more than 80 per
cent of the boys-and remember they
are all under fifteen years of age
came to us with bad teeth. For years
these boys have been unable to chew
their food properly. They have acquired
the habit of boiling everything they
put into their mouths. The natural
consequence has been multiplication
of stomach and intestinal disorders.
