TO LIVE IN MERIDIAN.

Meridian, Miss, Aug. 10-The many
friends of Marion w. Reilly, of Nat
chez, who ran second in the contest
for governor Tuesday, will be glad to
learn that he is going to move to Me-
ridian and that this place will be his
future home and that he will engage
in the practice of law.
Some time ago Mr.. Reilly stated to
one of his friends here that if he
was elected governor he intended to
move to Meridian at the expiration OF
his term of office, and that if he was
not elected, he would move as soon
as his official duties as district attor-
ney ended at Natchez. This state
ment was confirmed a day or two ago
over the telephone, and Mr.. Reilly will
find a warm welcome awaiting him
among all classes of people, whether
they supported him last week or not.
Mr.. Reilly regards Meridian as one
of the best cities in the country and
as soon as he became well acquaint-
ed, decided to take up his residence
here.

ITO avoid such condition the Gov
eminent should issue an oath of conf
dence and protection against disclos-
ure to all prospective inventors and
arrange that preliminary inspection of
his device shall take place at an army
or navy post near his home town.
IF the device appears practical, let
the inventor submit it to the board;
otherwise, let the examining officer
discourage the man from coming to
Washington and wasting his time and
money. Such a filtration, or wedding
out process, should be put into effect
throughout the country before the rush

Washington Threatened
With Deluge of Nut"

Washington, Aug. 10.-There is dan
ger of an invasion of the National
Capital by 'nuts"-would-b inventors
who have impossible schemes for get.
ting rich and famous.
Secretary Daniels naval advisory
board, composed of real scientists and
inventors, promises to be the cause of
the invasion. Washington patent at
torneys admitted today it is entirely
possible that the city will be overrun
with nuts with alleged wonderful
inventions to offer the board.
A man who invents something that
turns out well is a genius, the fellow
who dreams and invents the things
that never get by is a nut" That's
the difference.
That the naval advisory board will
encounter both species while it seeks
inventions which might aid the United
States in time of warfare is regarded
as certain. The prospects are, howev-
er, that the Missionaries, the nuts" will
outnumber by far the genuine invent
ors who come here for fame, money
or the consciousness of rendering
public service.
Sees DeIuge of "Nuts."
Joseph A. Steinmetz, president of
the Pennsylvania Aero Club, first
voiced apprehension that the naval
board would encourage the pilgrimage
to Washington of men with hopeless
schemes.
]. H. Brickenstein, Of this city, pres
ident of the Patent Law Association,
says Mr.. Steinmetz is right about it
and Washington probably will be over
run with impractical ones whose dis
coveries and inventions will not stand
scrutiny.
Many men with impractical schemes
come to Washington as it is" said Mr..
Brickenstein. Every patent attorney
encounters well-meaning but misguid-
ed fellows who believe they have
solved some problem like perpetual
motion. Probably so per cent of the
supposed inventions brought to patent
attorneys here are either impractical,
or the patent would be comparatively
worthless if granted. These men are
discouraged by reputable attorneys
from wasting their time and money.
The naval advisory board, of
course, is a good thing, but it is bound
to encourage journey to Washington
of certain percentage of Missionaries,
Or nuts as they are called by some.
Some of these men probably would
spend their last cent to get here and
present the advisory board with some
plan which might prove utterly worth
less on the most cursory examination.
Mr. Steinmetz is right about it."

sons, pestiferous aggregation of fell

time and money, as we'll as the pa
tence of the naval board, Mr. Stein
metz thinks their ideals should be sub
mltted in advance to army or navy
experts stationed at the various posts
and yards throughout the country.
The President of the Pennsylvania
Aero Club says:
Already the newspapers are full of
inventors schemes to revolutionize
warfare on land and sea. The ma
Jority of these schemes are wild and
impossible. The nuts would be
among the first group of inventors,
real and spurious, to arrive in Wa sh-
ington with the converting of the adj
visory board. They would fill the lodg-
ing houses, overflow into the street,
and might end by pitching camp on

would not be able to get near the COM

EATING DOGS.

The English are now learning to
eat dog" literally, although 1t is
not probable that the supply of ca
nine tiesh is sufficient to add much to
the wartime meat supply. The dog
selected for this purpose is a Chin
ese species, the flesh Of which has o
flavor which many consider delic-
ious.
This edible dog is distinguished by
his inability to bark and.also by his
odd blue, black tongue. During his
puppy days, his tongue is red and he
is then unit for food. Upon reach
ing maturity the tongue Of the edi-
BILE dog turns black-a change which
may take place within a few days.
The edible dog was the favorite
meat Of the dowageri empress Of
China, and 1t is claimed that the
first Of these animals taken to Eng
land for breeding purposes were
from her royal kennels. Several
breeders ahye been raising them for
years. but It is only within, the pres
ont year that they have been sold in
