Some time before 1890, Stanley, the

negroes of a new beast I'm the impene'

Belgian Congo. The Wambatti natives
described it as species of donkey

Harry Johnston himself saw the pig

that the strange beast was striped like
zebra.

PATENT OFFICE BUSY PLACE
Last Year Broke All Records in the
Number Of Inventions That
Were Filed.

Last year was a record year In vol.
ume IL not quality of inventions. APP
plications for patents reaching the
patent Office during 1919 approached
the unprecedented number Of fO,OOO,
rlore than any years output The IN
crease grew with the year, Aaron
Hardy Ulm writes in the Nations
Business. Those for the third quarter
exceeded by 81 per cent receipts OF the
same quarter in 1918.
Invention, of course. did not sus-
pend during the war, but, at least IN
volume OF production. IL diminished.
And a great proportion of that which
did function related TO war objects.
But at noon on November IL, 1918. the
great war became as ancient TO the IN
ventor as the Peloponnesian conflicts
of long ago.
In October, 1919. there reached the
division of the patent office handling
metallurgical inventions total or co.
applications for patents. In one uiVl-
sion handling chemical subjects-there
are several chemical divislons-is9
applications were filed; In the agricul-
tural implement division. 354 applica-
tons arrived; and the division dealing
with vehicle wheels and such appurte-
nances received 729 applications, about
one-half of which related 10 resilient
tires. This last item discloses the fact
that inventions for the automobile m
dustry best reflect the current work OF
the patent Office.

tions went to the division that handles

playing the organ for moving pic
lures. having made a special stud
OF THIS branch OF work and has been
successful to the extent that today
he ranks as one OF the best picture
players in the country.
During this past season he was or;
ganlst of the leading picture theatre

being the highest salaried musician
in that city. Mr.. Jones is looking

MARKED PROGRESS OF RACE
Much Significance in What Might BE
Called the Division of Chinese
Shoe Periods.

Chinese shoes may generally be

pieces. at the border of which a mar
row strip of silk was sewed so rs 20
make a smooth edge. The two pieces
were sewed together at the pointed
end with several fine cross stitches. A
wooden block about one-third inch
thick served as the heel of the shoe
he wooden block being wrapped in
several layers of cloth.
Later the small shoes with the tiny
soles became fashionable. This kind
Of shoe also consisted of two pieces
with silk cord at the juncture. to
prevent the seam from being seen.
When the Manchus became the ruling
class of China, women were released
from seclusion in the more progressive
homes and their chief interest was no
longer embroidery. They had no time
TO pay much attention TO their shoes
ana they stopped binding their feet
and entered into the natural-feet pc
riod with the Manchus.

BUYING LIBERTIES FOR KEEPS

the same principle that invest

Captain Swan in his book MY Com

a regiment of infantry was to
shop or early in the morning, going
over to take certain town. Coop

told the following anecdote Of his dis
tinguished ancestor. whose part in the
revolution for American independence
Is well known:
During the Virginia campaign Gen.
eral Lafayette was once In need OF
re-enforcements and consequently sent
his aid. Major Anderson, to General
Wayne, the Mad" Anthony, 10 ask
him 10 Join his command at certain
place and date. Major Anderson. on
arriving ar the headquarters Of Gen.
eral Wayne, explained 10 him the pur-
pose of his mission. Mad" Anthony
Immediately went. as usual. into
great rage and, pacing to ana fro In
the room. started to curse "that d
Frenchman. that frog-eater," etc. Ma
jor Anderson very quietly allowed the
storm TO pass and then sat down, took
out his pencil and started 70 write.
Seeing this. General Wayne asked him
what he was doing. 10 which Major
Anderson replied that he was taking
some notes 10 make a faithful report
TO General Lafayette. That answer
brought forth another outburst. but by
and by General Wayne listened TO the
explanation of Major Anderson and
finally exclaimed: Tell him I'll jine
him. BY C, I'll jine him !" And. In
deed, the next day he Joined General
Lafayette's command.

The Bottom Fact.

IT was related that famous Amer
ican surgeon became famous because
OF the thoroughneSs of his methods.
When a patient came to him he first
ran down every symptom and every
cause of the trouble until he got at
the primary cause.
1t is a good idea to follow, whether
a man be surgeon, lawyer, me-
chanic or a farmer. The thing to do
is TO get at the fact at the bottom Of
all the other facts.
The idea Is well illustrated by the
old saw about the horseshoe nail.
"For want of a nail the shoe was lost"
II says; for want of shoe the horse
was lost; for want of a horse the
rider was lost; for want Of a rider
the battle was lost; and all for the
want OF a horseshoe nail"

Acid Test Of Warrior.

Among the Mundurucus, tribe of
the upper Amazon, no youth is con-
sidered to have attained the dignity
of manhood until he has endured the
"ordeal of the gloves" In that coun-
try there is kind of ant, as big as a
wasp and quite as yenomous; likewise
another species. known as the fire
ant" whose bite feels like n red-hot
needle piercing the flesh. says the
Pittsburgh Dispatch. Two bamboo
tubes are closed at one end and into
each of them a number of these poi
sonous ants are put. Then the tubes
called gloves" by courtesy, are tied
upon the arms of the young man
whose fortitude is to be tested. and,
wearing them. he goes about the vii
Iage dancing and singing. If he shows
the slightest sign of distress he is pro-
nounced failure and becomes an OBJ
ject of derisi0n 10 the girls: but, If
he endures the agony without wincing.
his promotion To the rank Of warrior
is accomplished.

WEDNESDAY, MAY &c, 1920.
A @SMOKE SIREN" OF NATIONAL
POLITICS

The Knox-Lodge separate
resolution for a separate peace
with Germany passed the Repub-
lican Senate by a partisan vote.
IT is as futile as Senator Lodge
once said such a peace would be
'dishonorablc, because it was
known it was unconstitutional
and that the President, nndcr his
oath of offict, must veto it.
Senators Lodge. Knox and the
other Republican leaders rcspon-
sible for this act know that peace
cannot be made in such a way ;
they pretended sincerity, but it
is only a sham that fails to hide
their real purpose, which is to set
up a false record, 10 be used as
a Smoke screen" in the national
campaign, to hide from the pub
lie their own crime against world
peace in defeating ratification of
a constitutional treaty. in desert
ing Americas comrades in arms,
in abandoning the liberated peo-
pie of Europe and betraying
their own country by their par
tisan warfare for selfish pur-
poses.
Senator Knox agreed to the
elimination from the resolution
of the impudent clause request
ing the President TO negotiate a
new treaty with Germany, be
cause, as he so elegantly ex-
pressed it. "he did not want to
rub it in on the Prehident." This
language of the gutter expresses
a strange consideration on the
part of a Senate that once caused
one of its emissaries to invade
the sick room at the White
House in an attempt to discover
either that the President wasn't
Ill at all. but had been only
shamming. or was bodily and
mentally too i'll to discharge the
duties of his office.
