But few sightseers at the national
capital find the Patent Office the most
interesting point to visit, yet there is
probably no public building in Wash
Ington about which have centered so
many high hopes, so much of ambi
tion, keen research and hard study.
The Patent Office, indeed, is a sort of
Mecca for the inventive genius of the
United States.
At the time this is written 526,458
patents are here recorded, and an ex
amination of the models of them, pre
served in the cases, would occupy the
student for at least a year.
Among the oddest of recent patented
devices are two breathing machines,"
one by a man in Buffalo, the other by a
Brooklyn physician.
A machine for breathing may at first
thought appear to be superfluous, and
even ridiculous, yet both of these con
trivances are of benign intent. They
are designed to preserve life, or to re
suscitate suspended animation, as in
cases of drowning, choking, or a sud
den failure of the heart's action.
Physicians, as is well known, often
attempt to produce artificial respira
tion in such cases by extending the un
fortunate person on the ground or on
the floor, and alternately raising or
lowering the arms. At best this meth
od is unpromising, and it is to render
such artificial respiration more effect
ual that the two inventions above-men
tioned have been sought out.
The Brooklyn doctor's device con
sists of an air-tight chamber, or box,
In which the sufferer from suspended
respiration can be placed, all save his
nostrils and mouth, which are open
to the external air. By means of an
air-pump, connected with the chamber
and worked rapidly by a rotary shaft
and crank, the air is by turns exhaust
ed and admitted, thus causing, by
pneumatic pressure, the lungs to be al
ternately dilated with air and com
pressed at the ordinary intervals of
natural breathing.
The Buffalo inventor seeks to accom
plish the same end by means of a bel
lows and tube accurately applied over
the nostrils and mouth of the person.
Alternate inspiration and exhaustion
of air in the lungs are thus brought
about. The air-tube before entering
the nostrils passes through a small
heating apparatus. This raises the air
to the temperature which it would
reach naturally in the air-passages of
a healthy person.
If later information bears out the
first reports of discoveries of rich gok
fields along the Klondike river in Brit
ish Columbia it will not be surprlsini
if the world witnesses again some o0
the picturesque spectacles which at
tended the great rush to the California
gold fields fifty years ago. The storl
of a steamer which reached Seattle
the other day with a load of passen
gers, almost every one of whom car
ried his bundle of gold dust, is in Itsel
enough to kindle the imagination o
people who crave sudden wealth. Le
this narrative be repeated oftei
enough, let it become definitely knowi
that there is a new, unworked goh
field, where any man may seize a clam
and work it for his own enrichment
and the exodus to the Klondike wil
follow with a rush. People are les
credulous than they were when th,
temptations of California were hell
before the eyes of christendom. Bu
they are not less eager for wealth no
less willing to risk time and health i;
its pursuit. The extraordinary devel
opment of the Witwatersrand mines IL
Africa in recent years show wha
charm the idea of opening a nature
treasure house still has for men. Eve
supposing that the reports of the Klor
dike mines have not been exaggerated
however, there are many reason
;which will and should act as a deter
rent to men in danger of the gold ft
ver. The difficulties of a trip to th
new mines are great. The prospect
ors who migrated in Mvered wagon
across the plains in 1849 had more ol
stacles to contend with than a travele
would have nowadays in getting to th
Klondike or the upper Yukon, but th
California gold-seeker had a fairl
equable cdnate for his travels and to
his work after he arrived. The ma
who goes to the mines along the Klot
dike must bear considerable expena
for his journey, he must be ready t
face the hardships of unremittent It
bor, of a rigorous climate and of lin
Ited rations, and occasionally he mus
confront real perils. After he arrive
he must live in a complete isolatio
from civilization for the greater pal

VALUE OF COLD STORAGE.
A VISIT TO THE FROZEN WARE
HOUSES IS INTERESTING.
The Walls Are of Extraordinary Thick
ness- By Means of Piped Chemicals the
Temperature Is Kept Below Zero-]
Eatables Kept for Years.
The almost perfect system to which
cold storage has been brought in this I
city and its suburbs is known only in I
a general way to the average citizen.
It will doubtlessly cause surprise to
persons who are not familiar with the
facts to learn that a quail they eat for
breakfast has been dead in some cases
for one or two years, and that quail
and other game birds, fish and meat
are frequently frozen for a year or
more and then sold in as good a con
dition as they were the day they were
put into the great ice-house.
The business has grown to such di
mensions that it is estimated roughly
that market men, shippers and others
interested in the trade have $15,000,
000 invested in the business, exclusive
of the cost of the buildings. Large
structures, usually located adjacent to
the markets or the railroad depots,
are in demand for cold storage ware
houses, and there are several on upper
West street, more near Washington
market, others located near the Fulton
market and under the arches of the
Brooklyn bridge, that seem particular
ly well adapted for the purpose. Ex
cept in the case of fruit and such vege
tables as are destroyed by freezing, it
is said to be seldom that provisions
are sold to the consumer upon arrival
in this city. Prices, of course, have
much to do with the sales, and when
there is an overstock of chickens,
eggs, beef, fish, meat or similar com
modity, it is packed away in a cold
storage warehunse, where it is held
until prices justify a sale.
As regards game, it was only last
winter that emissaries of the state
game warden came to this city to find
out why certain restaurants were sell
ing venison, pheasants, quail and
every other sort of game out of season.
The deputy game warderis had quail
for breakfast in September, when the
law said that they should not be killed
until December; venison for dinner,
when deer can only be hunted in Jan
uary, and woodcock and snipe. Then
they made a list of the restaurants
where the game had been obtained and
arrested the proprietors. The pro
prietors gave the names of the men
from whom they had bought the game,
and these were found to have obtained
it from the warehousemen. It was
learned that some of the game had
been killed more than a year before
during the regular season. There
were expressions of consciousness and
wonderment on the faces of the game
wardens when they departed for home.
In their reports they said the law had
not been violated.
"We certainly have developed the
business," said one of the ware
housemen, "to a point that is un
equalled in any other part of the world.
Europe has nothing like the cold
warehouse system of this city. Even
royal personages have to take their
1 vegetables, meat, fruit and game in
season. Here we do not. The cold
warehouse system has been growing
i so slowly and yet surely in this city
t that it would be considered a hardship
r by citizens if they had to do without
it. We have developed a pampered
taste that requires fruit at Christmas,
t commodities that in the 'good old
times' we could get only when nature
provided them, at times, months after
the time they are grown or killed.
SRich men want trout at all seasons of
the year, when it is known that they
can only be obtained in the" spring.
Young chickens cannot be obtained
except at their weight in gold during
the winter, if they are grown during
the cold months and killed just before
Sbeing used. By means of the cold
storage system they cost little more
r on New Year's day than they do in
SMay. Spring lamb, that was obtain
e able formerly only in May and June,
V is carefully packed away in the spring
r and sold the succeeding winter and
Sweeks before the earliest spring lamb
of the following spring is born. Beef
e and mutton are not kept nearly so
Slong-no need to do so.
"Bluefish can be obtained only at
certain seasons, yet they are on sale
Sall the time. The same is true regard
s ing bass, mackerel and other fish.
SOysters and clams are also kept for
months at a tinme and freqluently from
one season to an)ther."
SA visit to one of these warehouses is
a interesting. The walls are of extra

CAR AND KILLFISH.
Table Manners of a Fish Built on Tor.
pedo Boat Specifications.
The gar may be described as a fish
built on torpedo boat lines considera
bly drawn out. There is one now at
the Aquarium which came from Lake
Erie, is three feet long, and doesn't
look to be three inches through amid
ships. Its snout is long, slender, and
tapering, and its mouth opens back
six or seven inches, so that in general
appearance its jaws are much like a
pair of shears.
When the gar is under one bell, so
to speak, it moves through the water
very smoothly, making no commotion
whatever, and that is the way it moves
when it sets about capturing a kill
fish. It swims along very quietly and
gently, with its mouth closed, in the
direction of the killie, and keeps mov
ing until it has overrun the killie by
three or four inches; the gar then
lying quietly in the wake with the
unsuspecting killie close by.
Suddenly the gar opens its mouth
slightly and swings its head sidewise
and closes its jaws. The chances are
that the little killie is then between
the gar's long jaws crosswise, its head
projecting on one side and its tail on
the other; it may be that it is paral
yzed at once by the gar's sharp teeth,
or it may wriggle a little.
The gar is in no hurry, not the
slightest; it knows very well that the
killie can't get away. Pretty soon it
begins to shift the killie back toward
its throat, so it can swallow it. The
gar doesn't work the killie back in its
jaws, but it opens its jaws just enough
to clear the killie, and then it hitches
forward itself with a movement so
slight and quick as to be scarcely per
ceptible, setting its jaws together
again with the killie still lying across
the upper side of the under jaw, head
on one side and tail on the other, but
a little nearer the gar's throat.
Still not in the slightest L rry about
it, the gar repeats this two or three
times, until it has got the killie pretty
well back in its jaws; then it sets
about slewing the killie round length
wise, so as to take it in and swallow
it. Most fishes prefer to swallow a
fish head first, so that the fins won't
spread out and stick in the swallow
er's throat, but it doesn't appear to
make much difference to the gar
which way it takes the killie; if the
killie should still retain some life, and
it manages to wriggle itself around in
the gar's shifting of it so that its tail
is toward the gar's tail, the gar
does not undertake to slew it clear
around again with its tail forward,
but when it gets the killie well along
side its mouth it opens it long jaws a
little wider and takes the killie in
bodily, closes its jaws, and moves gen
tly on.-New York Sun.
Punish Criminals by Eating Their Bodies.
The most cruel form of criminal
punishment is that found in vogue
among the Battaks or Battas, who in
habit that part of the island of Sumatra
south of Atcheen. Dr. Van der Tunk,
a German discoverer, was astonished
to learn how civilized the Battaks are
in every respect except in their treat
ment of their prisoners.
There hanging and electrocuting
have not the ghost of a show. Both
these methods and that suggested by
the recently famed Society for the
Betterment of the Human Species,
would all be voted inadequate for the
proper punishment of criminals guilty
of capital offences, which offences by
the way, are much more nume
rous than in the United States, thiev
ing being looked upon by the Battaks
as one of the most heinous of capital
crimes.
"The Battaks no sooner convict a
criminal," says Dr. Van der Tunk,
"than the sentence is carried out.
The convict is placed face downward
on a large flat stone, and the body is
then chopped into pieces by small
stone axes. The authorities then dis
tribute these pieces among the fam
ilies of the village where the crime has
been committed, and the villagers eat
these pieces with the greatest relish,
there being a belief current among the
Eattaks that if the body of a criminal
is merely buried the soul may come
back to the body and resurrect it."
The enemies of the Battaks cap
tured in war receive the same fate as
do their criminals. Women are sel
dom or never executed among them.
Boy Has a Mania for Reptiles.
Berkeley has a snake fancier in the
person of Teddy Finn, the 15-year
old son of J. Finn, who has a den of
eleven repliles of various species. He
handles them as adroitly and cares for
them as tenderly as if they were a
kennel of young puppies.
Ever since he was able to walk
Teddy has had a mania for creeping
things, and has availed himself of
every opportunity of gathering about
him a variety of squirming, twisting
serpents.
Teddy's pride is a young king
snake, so called, because it is able to
kill any other snake, except a boa con
strictor, by winding itself about the
neck of its victim.
"Snakes areas easily domesticated,"
says he, "as any other pets. They
are ugly sometimes, but they get over
it. Look at those green raders. I
suppose their breakfast did not agree
with them, and so they have been
cross all the morning. Isn't my king
snake a beauty, though?
"When she is wound around the
wrist, it is almost impossible to re
move her except by pinching her tail
in a certain place, when she will hasti
ly uncoil herself. Once she squeezed
my wrist so tightly that my hand was
blue and swollen for a long time."
Teddy often takes his pets with him
when he goes on errands for his
mother. The people of the North End
have become accustomed to seeing
snakes suddenly raise their heads from
Teddy's pockets or from under his
blouse. -San Francisco Call.

Novel Use for 'ril Power.
Various plans have been suggested at
different times for the utilization of the
energy developed by the rise and fall
of the tides, but the intermittent char
acter of the power has usually prevent
ed any satisfactory solution of the
problem. There is, however, one in
stance in which tide power has been
quite successfully applied in a very
simple manner. Among the river front
at Liverpool there is a tendency for
the accumulation of all silt against
the dock walls, requiring occasional
dredging for its removal. Instead of t
using scoop dredges, this mud is re
moved at different periods by the use
of tide power in-the following manner:
Along the base of the dock walls is
laid a pipe, perforated with holes,
directed outward, this pipe being con
nected with the interior of the dock
system, and suitable valves being pro.
vided to permit or check the flow of
water. When the tide is very low, and
consequently the head of water meas
ured from the surface in the docks Is
at its greatest, a sudden opening of the
connection permits a rapid flushing
action of the water escfping through
holes in the pipe at the base of the
walls, scouring out the mud and driv
ing it out into the river to be carried
away. As the tides at Liverpool aver
age about twenty-five feet or more, it
is evident that this simple form of
dredging apparatus may be very effect
ive, and as the times chosen for using
It may be selected when the supply of
water is greatest, it does not interfere
with the regular use of the docks. Ulti
mately economical forms of power stor
age will render the equalization of tide
power commercially practicable, but
at the present time this example serves
to demonstrate the fact that solar and
lunar attraction, as expressed by the
tides, have been harnessed in a small
way at leant.-Cassier's Magazine.

quarters in Chicago was reorgan!zed
and some new officials were brought on
from the East. There was a readjust

evolved a system by which the duties
of every employe were to be most clear
ly understood.
John Connors, who had helped to
build the road and who had been on the
pay roll for years, was advanced to the
title of Master Mechinuic and Superin
tendent of Maintenance of Way.
About a week after his appointment
he was hastly summoned to the offica
and was given an order:
"To Jolm Connors, Master Mechanic
and Superintendent of Maintenance of
Way: This is to inform you that cul
vert No. 163, in section 14, one and
one-half (1l) miles east of Effuer, has
been destroyed by fire. You will
proceed with all possible haste to the
Chief Engineer, who will provide you
with the necessary plans and specifi
cations. By requisition on the Pur
chasing Agent you will be enabled 'to
secure such material as may be neces
a.ry and the Superintendent of Motive
Power will place at your disposal-"
There were other directions, butwhen
John Connors had read this far he
folded the letter and put it in his
pocket.
"That's what we call the Wilson
culvert," said he. "I'll 'tind to It."
That was Saturday. On Monday
morning the General Superintendent
came to his office at 10 o'clock, pushed
a bell and directed tli Private Sec
retary to order the Special Messenger
to summon the Master Mechanic and
Superintendent of Maintenance of
Way.
John Connors came to the office.
"Mr Connors," began the General
Superintendent, "have you received
from the Chief Engineer the plans and
specifications for that new culvert in
section 14't"

demonstration of the values of the

Hospitalsin greatcities are sad places tovisit. Threes
fourths of the patients lying on those-saow-white beds
are women and girls.
Why should this be the case ?
Because they have neglected themselves! Women
as a rule attach too little importance to first symp
toms of a certain kind. If they have toothache, -
they will try to save the tooth, though many leave
even this too late. They comfort thcmsolvcs with i
the thought that they can replace their teeth; but "
they cannot replace their internal organs I
Every one of those patients in the hospital beds
had plenty of warnings in the form of bearing-down
feelings, pain at the right or the leftof the womb,
nervous dyspepsia, pain in the small of the back, the
"blues," or some other unnatural symptom, but they did n
not heed them. "
Don't drag along at home or in the shop until you are finally obliged to
go to the hospital and submit to horrible examinations and qperations
Build up the female organs. Lydia E. Pinkham's Vegetable Compound will
save you from the hospital. It will put new lifo into you.
The following letter shows how Mrs. Lyness escaped the hospital and a
fearful operation. Her experience should encourage
..other women to follow her example. She says
.to Mrs. Pinkham:
"I thank you very much for what you have
done for me, for I had given up in despair.
Last February, I had a fliscarriage caused
by overwork. It affected myheart, caused
me to have sinking spells three to four a
day, lasting sometimes half a day. I
could not be left alone. I flowed con
stantly. The doctor called twice a day
for a week, and once a day for four weeks,
then three or four times a week for four
months. Finally he said I would have to un
.C dergo an operation. Then I commenced taking
LydiaE. Pinkham's Vegetable Compound, and
after one week I began to recover and steadily improved until I was cured
completely. By taking the Pinkham medicine, I avoided an operation which
the doctor said I would certainly have to undergo. I am gaining every day
and will cheerfully tell anyone what you have done for me."--MB. Taos.

'rioks on the Teachers.
The other day a pupil in one of the
public schools asked the teacher to do
a little example in grammar, and since
then what seemed at first to be a simple
problem has had the serious consider
ation of all the pedagogues in the com.
munity, and It has been unanimously
agreed that there is no rule in gram
mar to cover the point raised. The
youngster's proposition was this:
"It is two miles to Woodfords. Now
please write under that sentence There
are two twos in the above sentence.' "
That is what the boy said. He did
not submit the problem in writing,
and when the teacher tried to follow
his injunction she found out the reason
why. It dawned on her that there were
not two twos, neither were there two
tes, and how to express in writing
what was easy enough to do verbally
she ascertained to be impossible.
The boy responsible for the forego.
Ing must be a near relative to the
youth who asked his teacher how to
spell Paris green, and when she replied,
"P-a-r Par, i-s, Paris, g-r-e-e-n, green;
Paris green," retorted:
"No, you're wrong; you can't spell
Paris green, or blue, or any other color.
You can't spell it anything but Paris."

Want Bugs Protected.
For some time past British entomolo
gists, or bug-hunters, have been exer.
cised over the exterminnation of certaiu
Insects in consequence of the zeal of the
collectors, who roam over the country
with butterfly nets. It would be diffl.
cult to protect butterflies and moths by
Legislation, as has been done for birds
so an association has been formed n-.
der the auspices of the Entomological
Society of London. The members agre"
to leave rare nasects alone for awhbil
and to do all in their power to curb the
sporting instinct in others. The insect
collector who abides by it will be more
than human, remarks London Graphic.
Imagine a stamp collector agreedng not
to pick up a rare specimen from the
roadside, yet a similar temptation will
be met and have to be resisted by the
Insect collector.
