Friends OF the district say that CO.

cure the district and the dam: that
isolated efforts have proven futile.
that the government will abandon

fail in view OF the Indebtedness

She Started and Continues to Run the First Patent

TVERY deluge OF inventions has

patent was issued August s. 1911, but
now the business OF invention is going
ahead with such rush that No.
100000 will be reached before the
end of next year.
II might be truly said that inven-
tion is ages older than mankind, and
that the first Patent Office was or
Eanized and conducted by Dame
Nature. Indeed. II is surprising to
find how many so-called human in
ventionS are mere copies OF originals
recorded therein.

Fish The First Balloon


What might be called the earliest
balloon was Il fish which is common
and numerous species in tidal rivers
and cstuaries along our Atlantic coast.
Fishermen call il the "swelltish." Its
belly is covered with a supplementary
skin which resembles in appearance
and texture q delicate canvas. When
the fish is irritated or alarmed. this
covering is inflated with air. giving to
it's owner an almost globElar shape.
The creature becomes in effect bal
loon. When pursued by enemies, it
blows itself up in this way, and riS-
ing to the surface. skipS over the
waves before the wind. The phCnom-
cnOn is so extraordinary as 10 he
deemed until recently IA mere fairy
tale. but scientific inquiry has proved

The balloon and tho flying machine
are today supplemented By the para
chute. which enables the atr-voyager
