PLINY CREDITED WITH YARN
ted Remarkable Story Concern
ing Habits of Tiger.

According to Pliny, when a hunter
wished to catch tiger cubs he must be
provided with very fleet horse, and
have another in reserve. "When the
tfgress finds her lair empty she darts
forth and tracks them by the smell
When she comes up to the hunter he
throws one of the whelps to her. with
which She returns to her lair. Then she
rushes back, and he throws another to
her; and this goes on till he reaches
his ship
Equally interesting is the account in
the 'Physiologus" which explains that
''the hart desireth the water brooks"
because it had been inhaling the breath
of dragons. SO having filled its stom-
ach from the brook, it browns the
dragon out of its hole and Stays it with
its antlers.
Unicorns seem to have given much
trouble in those days, and were eXter-
minated in a most unsportsmanlike
fashion. "The hunters place a virgin
near the spot where the unicorn has its
abode. The unicorn seeing her, runs
and places it's head in her lap, doing
her no harm" This very natural ac-
tion proves his undoing, for then COM
eth the hunter and killeth it,"
Here is the reverse of the picture
'But if she be not pure maid the uni
corn will not sleep, but killeth her"

MESSAGE FROM SPANISH CHIEF.

In connection with the new interna-
tional scout magazine representing all
the scouts of the world, the chief scout
of Spain makes this statement:
"To create an international journal
which shall be the expression of the
common ideals that flourish beneath
the boy scouts flag throughout the
world and with that journal to CARRY
to the farthest corners Of the earth
the common desire for physical and
moral redemption for which men OF
goodwill in all climes are striving, will
the winged and powerful strength OF
written thought, this gigantic crusade
of universal brotherhood which already
binds with strong links the youth OF
all countries, without distinction OF
race or frontier.
1.-The boy scouts Of Spain, who are
working for their country and for their
well-being, follow the inspiration OF
Baden-PowelIs immortal doctrine,
cannot forget that they are part OF
that enterprise, or that In all nations
they have brothers with the same de-
sires and ideals; and for this reason
they rally with enthusiasm to the
work of their common publication,
which will find In US fervent propa-
gandists If 1t serves, as we hope, to
strengthen and encourage the noble
scout aims"

SCOUTS SOW GOOD HABITS

Scouts everywhere are interested In
gardening and forestry. In recent
issue Of Boys Life, the chief scout
executive reminds the boys Of the
movement that there Is another kind
Of planting going on all the time,
whether they are conscious of the
process or not, Mr. West says:
boy time is essentially planting
time The habits you are forming now
are the ones you will reap the harvest
of when you get to manhood Ana
that is where scouting comes in as
sort of expert gardener to show you
what to plant, and how and why to
plant 1t.
"One of the accusations that is
sometimes made, with some justice,
against the American people, as
whole, is our lack Of thoroughness, our
tendency to be jacks Of many trades,
expert at none This charge should
never be allowed to fit or hit scout.
Thoroughness and the doing of given
task, pom honor, to the best of our
ability should be, and l am glad to
say usually is, characteristic of boys
who are scouts. Even If 1t is small
thing In itself, like learning to tie
a certain kind Of knot keep at 1t until
you have the trick completely mas
tered, and can tie the knot any time,
any place, just right, as speedily and
deftly as possible.
Take the matter of first aid, when
you are learning to make bandages
and tourniquets, studying and prac-
ticing what to do In case Of certain
accident or how to prevent that acci-
dent from happening, put your whole
mind and skill into it. Learn to do
it, not any old way but just right,
so that if the time comes when you
are called upon, in the flash OF an
instant to put that knowledge to prac-
tical use, you will not be found want
ing.
BE prepared. Sow habits of en-
ergy, patience, perseverance. Train
your mind and body to work together
in splendid alliance. Live clean lives,
think clean thoughts, read great books,
follow true heroes, like Abraham Lin
coin and Theodore Roosevelt. Plant
for tomorrow and manhood"

Sinn Sinu Indian Name.

Sing Sing prison. the stone, or
rather dolomite marble bastile at Os
sinng, n Y, is rather appropriately
named according to authorities who
trace the word back to the Indian Ian
guage. and find that it means stony
place. The town itself was originally
called Sing Sing. 1t is beautifully sit
uated on the Hudson and commands
from its elevated site, many fine views.
1t was settled by white people about
1893.
Some authorities say the Sin Sinck
Indians were thereabouts at that time.
and attribute the name of the city to
them. The prison was built there in
1896 when Capt. Elan Lynds took 100
convicts there and gave them orders
to wall themselves in.
La 1901 the town, after several un-
successful attempts, changed its name
to Ossining, because of objections due
to the association OF its name with the
prison.

LAKE is NATURAL WONDER
Body of Water That Has Many Re-
markable Qualities Is Found in
North Australia.

Lake Eyre is one of the wonders of
the continent. The district is actually
below the level of the sea, yet In the
near neighborhood of the lake are
some fine springs of water that may
be considered fresh in that cattle will
drink from them. So, too. can drovers,
though the water has a medicinal ef-
feet which prejudices them in their
appraisal of its value.
In the center of the lake is an
island of rare beauty. A legend is
that, many years ago, perhaps when
the first droving party doctor
Black's) took cattle through to the
Northern territory, one of the more
daring of the party of white men, un-
needing the warning Of the blacks
an ''ol' man debil-debil" lived in the
lake. and fed on men who ventured
into the water, undertook to get to the
island. He started away on horse
back, but did not return. The blacks,
who have mysterious means of com
munication, gave it out that his horse
had made the island, where the animal
was seen by some of them long after
the cattle party had gone. That
proved the legend as far as they were
concerned
One of the peculiarities of the wa
ter OF the lake is that it will preserve
anything thrown into it. 1t is exceed
ingly buoyant. Stones thrown into 1t
do not sink. Qt may be stated that
some of the stone-the kind that does
not sink-would probably float in any
kind of water, being pumice of the
lightest variety, almost spongy in tex
ture.) .)-Sydney (Australia) Times

country, or by any organization of
men to whom are intrusted most val
liable secrets. The primary exam
iners (who are the chiefs of divi-
sions) are in effect the commissioner
of patents in 81 per cent of the cases,
for there is no appeal from their
favorable decisions on applications
for patents. and their final unfavor-
able decisions are accepted in most
cases, because of the expense of ap-
peal from them. They pass upon in

Of the dignity and security attached
to them, be attractive to men of high
qualifications and ability. Today,
however, the pay is SO Inadequate
that an educated man can barely exc
out an existence. Men without a col
lege education, or the equivalent
thereof, could not pass the examina-
tions for positions on the examining
force. and yet owing to the present
meager compensation examiners are
lege. Many of the best examiners
have been forced to resign and go
into the private practice of patent
law, where, at the outset, the aver
age compensation-of primary exam
iners, for instance-from patent law
yers for large corporations is consid-
erably more than twice their patent
office salaries, with the certainty that
they will earn progressively more, if
they prove capable. It has become a
common practice for men to go into
the patent office for two or three
years experience, with no intention
Of staying, but only to get sufficient
experience so that they can enter
the employ of patent lawyers or the
patent departments of large corpora
tions. Thus the patent office is, to
large extent, merely a training school
for patent lawyers. Today examiners
receive but 10 per cent more than the
pay fixed for their positions in 184s
Then their pay was equal to that of
members of Congress and Of United
States district judges. whose salaries
have been increased 800 per cent or
more since that date.
The designations from the examining
corps have for ten years been going on
at the rate Of 25 per cent per annum.
and today over 10 per cent of the ex-
aminers are temporary appointees. AS
it takes at least two or three years for
an examiner to become sufficiently IA

BY EDWIN j. PRINDLE.
Chairman Of the Committee on Pat
ents Of American Engineering
Council.

w WHILE the American revolu-
NJ ton gave US political free
" " dom from England, we did
not obtain freedom from
EngIands manufacturing domination
until the American patent system had
been devised and been working long
enough to develop a class of Ameri-
can inventors.
Our position as the leading country
Of the world in manufactures and the
production of inventions is due, more
than to anything else, to our patent
system. Americans are not naturally
more inventive than Europeans. for
we are all either Europeans or de-
scendents Of Europeans. We have
great natural resources. but so have
other countries. The only tangible
reason which can be pointed out for
the so common existence in this coun-
try of the power to invent is that it
has been developed through seeking
for the rewards held out by the
American patent system.
AS a single example of what the
American inventor has done to in
Of labor, the changes which he has
wrought in agriculture may be taken.
Before the establishment Of our pat
ent system the art of agriculture had
remained practically at standstilI
for many thousands of years and was
conducted almost wholly by manual
operations. The American inventor
has provided the farmer with so much
more efficient tools and with so many
automatic or semi-automatic ma
chimes that it is a very conservative
estimate to state that one man today
can do the labor of from ten to fifteen
men with the tools available at the
time of the Declaration of Independ-
ence. While the farmer of the revo-
luton did most of his work by the
unaided use of his hands, the farmer
of today works through his BRAIN
with machinery which he has only to
guide and watch. and which even
saves him the trouble of walking.
This marvellous change, in but 125
years, in an art which had stood still
so long, is due wholly to the Ameri-
can patent system. Think where the
allied countries would have been dur
ing the war, and would be today, if
the American farmer were only able
to produce at the rate at which he
was producing before our patent sys-
tenn brought forth these inventions.
Untold millions would have perished
from starvation and would now be
starving, not for lack Of money, but
for lack Of food at any price. What
is true of agriculture is equally true
of many other arts and industries in
our country.
