veal* mm wonderful thought made

the intricacies of' the reasoning which
they an intended to eonveyi and *el
dom do they perfectly make manifest'
the oonelusiona reached bythelr au
thor*. The aolid thought* of solid
men, wrought into valuable machinery
for trade and eommeraeor terrible en
ginery for war, are not more interest
ing than the freaks of ingenuity dis
played on erery hand. The patent
office museum 1* a place of Interest for
the philosopher as well as the cardess
sightseer; The amusement and enter-,
tainmant of this wonderful place has
long since passed for me; and itwaa
with the plodding thoughtfnlness of a
philosopher that I went through the
patent office with some friends this aft
ernoon. While thoy chatted and chat
tered about tho peculiar things before
them, my mind was dwelling upon the
fact that this place was a chamber of
horrors.
Those devices tor flying machines,
for perpetual motion, for aerial naviga
tion upon many plans, and for other
schemes Impractical for the present, are
interesting, it is true, so long as one
does not look away beyond them and
see, in a dark and dingy room, the in
ventor himadf. Put, when we remem
ber that these curious devices emanated
not from untrained, uneducated brains,
but from strong and ambitious intel
lects, we can faintly imagine the disap
pointments and sorrows of the unsuc
cessful inventors. Some of them lived in
attics, in crowded cities, with little rai
ment, and sometimes without food.
They could see before them nothing hut
suocess and consequent wealth. Their
mirages faded away, alas, and In the
sear and yellow leaf of life they either
went over the hills to the poorhonse or
found'final rest, after life's fitful fever,
In the potter's field; unloved, unnoted,
far from home and the loves of early
life, with "unknown" marked upon a
pine dab headstone.
One poor inventor, however, found am
ple success in afterlife; but not from his
invention. Had he depended upon that
one thing, and founded his hopes of life
solely upon that creation of his brain,
as so many inventors do, his life would
have been a failure. But, after placing
his model on file, he turned his mind to
the continuance of his profession and
becamo a great lawyer. The model 1*
in a glass cose along with other devices
which represent life's failure for many
poor people. It is like an accordion,
and was intended to be attached to the
hulls of river craft to enable their nav
igators to float them oyer shoal places.
children of America. lint, as sn In
ventor, US is wholly-unknown.
One of the peculiar devices for navi
gating the waters is a boat to be pro
pelled by a gigantic windmill, but little
smaller than tho boat itself. It never
probably occurred to the inventor that
a calm at sea would render his wind
mill device a delusion and a fatal snare
to the vessel uilngit, and to the passen
gers traveling by that method of pro
pulsldn. Another inventor, however,
believing in the windmill theory, made
an Improvement I?) upon it, by provid
ing a treadmill on deck, .to be worked
by horse power to make the windmill
revolve. This Invention with its im
provement probably represents .the
wasted efforts of two ambitious Uvea,
suggests again the chamber of hor
rors. It is rivaled by another raodol
which provided in the hold.of a vessel
a great engine which is Intended to
pump water into the bow of tho boat,
and pour it upon a water wheel
fixed at tho stern of tho vessel, tho ob
ject being to force tho boat along by

captured U conveyed to the propeller
by a peculiar mechanism. The Inventor
pre-enpposes that the wavea will always
swing his pendulum with precisely the
aame motion; but he haa made no pro
vision, and can make no provision, tor
a storm at sea, or even an ordinary gale,
which would swing his weight back
and forth through the ship like a ter
rible trip-hammer, amaahing and crush
ing everything in contact with it, and
shattering tho ship to splinters. This
model represents a wasted life and
wasted energise, commensurate with
the wasted powers of the ocean which
the poor fellow vainly strove to bridle
for tho use of man.
In tho glass cases where firearms are
exhibited, there are curios innumerable
and Indescribable.. One singular Inven
tion by a farmer alwaya attracts atten
tion. It was intended for frontiersmen
who were ubllgcd to come in oontaet
with hostile Indians. In the first place
it would h-ive been so costly that no
pioneer could'have afforded one, and in
the next place it could never have been
practically used. Tho beam of a plow
is converted Into a gun. and was in
tended both to fool Indians and to, kill
them. If a hostile Indian came upon a
farmer with one of these plows, he could
see, of course, that the farmer had no
rifle wit]) him. Then, as he advanced
to kill the farmer, that worthy; could
Just turn his horses to one side and
shoot off his plow at Mr. Indian, and go
ahead with Ills work.

How would mother llko to have a
rocking chair which plays an organ,

that way of going to sloop?. Some
thoughtful fellow of domestio turn Of
mind has invented this homo harmonia
er, but it costs too much for poor peo
ple. and rich mothers prefer to employ
nurses. Hence the inventor remains
poor and unhappy.
Some lazy fellow has sat up nights to
invent a machine which will pick up
sticks of wood, put them on the saw
buck, hold them there with an artificial
knee and saw them into proper lengths.
This con be worked with a treadle,
while the farmer sits in doors, and
smokes his pipe In peace, growing fat
and jolly, whilo he watchcs his wife
cleaning house and baking for the
hands.
The "hen persuader" was described
when the patent was applied for. It Is

extending backwards. It prevents the
fowl from scratching or moving back
