[n spain it costs $100,000,000 to maintain the army and only $1,500,000 to educate the children, but then it is the exception to find a Spanish farmer who is able to read or write. Germany boasts of being in the foremost rank among the nations in the kuiturkampf of the world, yet she expends $185,000,000 on her army, while $10,000,000 is deemed sufficient for the education of her child- ren. France maintains an army at an expense of $151,000,000 and supports her schools with 21,000,000, The United States exponds $115,000,000 for public schools, while the army and navy costs orly $54,000,000. the present fee excessive and iliegal. 1t wus laid over until the next meeting, A new ordinance was introduced by Jen- nings limiting the speed of motor trains to not exceeding eight miles per hour excepting on Avenue A from Thirteenth strect to the river, Fifth avenue westof Twelth street and Sixteenth strect from Avenue A to Fifth avenue, and fixing as the penalty for its violation a tino of not less than $25 or more than §100.

Everybody employed in the patent of- fice at Washington is prepared to admit —all but the latest arrivals ave eager to asseverate—that there are queer peo- ple in the world, A writer for the Washington News vecently explored the vecord room and discoverod drawings of the latest patents piled on a low shelf. Upon perusal the fiest device of peculiar nature was discovered. Tho invention ir on was an improved method of minating mosquitoes, for which a an_was given letters patent. The nged mossengors of bliss probably made themselves obnoxious to the pat- entee and he determined to annihi the whole species. His invention a queer aad complicated inter- mixture of sereens, gauze and whirring mechanism, inta> which the buzzing little songsters ave drawn and effectually annihilated. Another inventive genius from the west solicited a patent for a fruit picker. The instru- ment is a very modest looking affa resembling somewhat ono-half of a pair of shears. A small ring fits over the forofinger-of the operator and brings at right angles a cutting edge or blade. The fruit to be cat is held in the left hand, and by grasping the stem in a cei- tain manner with the right hand and giving a quick twist either the afore- said fruit or the thumb will be severed. The inventor in this case seemed to overlook the fact that the greatest varieties of American fruits do not grow on bushes or within reach of the hand, and last, but not least, the welfare of the person handling his useful little instrument has to be respeeted, A little way down in the file is a pe- culiar looking machine, patented by a Michigander, and used by said gentle- man in lifting pans and stoves he apparatus embodies such a complicated mass of lev ws and other similar devices of mechanism that it is safe to is panlifter will never find popular favor in the American kitchen. For months a car-coupling epidemic has spread itself and vermeated every state in the union. This epidemic is a mania for all classes to invent car-couplers and get patent grants therefor. The larger portion of these couplers are so compli- cated and usele that the anxious patentees will never receive an iota of good from their inventions. A certain individuai from the Empire state named Collins applied for a grant on a wickless lamp. The lattter was tested and an explosion followed. 'The lamp and ap- plication went to pieces together. But queerest of queer depuvtures in this cnlightened age is that taken by an eccentric resident of Ohio, who invented an equally eccentric boat on eccentric ideas. The boat was to be so constructed as to roll over the waters in the fashion of a log or wheel. This strange craft was to be propelled by the wind striking on suitable blades standing out from the radii of the hull. The Ohioan faited to state in his speci- fications how the crow of the boat would dispose of themselves during the revolu- tions of the body on the surface of the deep, and the examiners sent his appli- cation higher_than a balloon. Then comes Knox, a bona fide citizen of a southern state, who has appavently pro- fitted by the example of the American who tried tocatch sunshine some years ago. This modera mortal has con- structed a conundrum which, he allege; will effectually capture the heat from Old Sol, and retain the same for later use. The philosophical wonder is in the hands of the originator’s attorney, and has not yet made its appearance in the Interior department, where it will be practically tested, and then, in all prob- ability, it'will find a deep grave under the department foundations. Another late application is that of James Geary, who claims that he can capturo and store atmospheric electricity during a thunderstorm for bome consumption. bt S Ay BULLETS FIRED BY GAS, s A Gun that Makes Little noke. The Giffard gun, which was tried re- cently at Nottingham by a board of English army officers, seems likely to be the first gun which uses any other pro- pelling agent than powder to attain any- thing like & practical success, says the New York Sun. The propelling agent of M. Paul Giffard’s ritle is liquefied carbonic acid gas. The gun itself is not new, noris the principle upon which it is constructed. M. Giffard has had a gun before the public for more than three years, but since that time he has made séveral improvements and con- siderably modified it in detail. The pro) {u:lliug agent which he uses makes very ittle noise and no smoke and leaves no odor, Only a very slight recoil follows the discharge and the gun does not foul. Tho propelling agent is always com- pletely under the control of the person handling the gun. In appearance the Giffard gun is some- thing like a Winchester shotgun., It has an ordinary cctagon barrel, under- neath which is fitted a Giffard ervoir, as the magazine is called. This reser- voir is & steel eylinder closed at one end and fitted at the other end with a valve, Nolse ‘and No The reservoir contains a supply of liquefied carbonic acid gas at a pressure of two tons to the square inch, sufficient for from forty to sixty rounds, according as the gun is to be used at a long or short range. These reservoirs are tested in the manufacture up to three times the strength necessary to hold the gas under pressure, and are guaranteed to be perfectly sound and safe, The special valve at the end of the reservoir is so contrived that ateach pull of the trigger the regulated quan- tity of gas enters the bullet chamber. e rifle is of the hammerless type and is neat in appearance and handy in form. All the parts are interchangéable and cun be replaced. Such a safoty cateh is used as is ordinarily fitted on hammer- less shotguns. The throwing forward of the lever, which also serves as the trigger guard, opens the bullet chamber for =~ the insertion of the bullet, which is conical shaped. It alsococks the gun and moves the counter which records the number of charges fired. The same action places the gun at “safe.” By returning the ' had the misfortune to cut | it leaves the muzzle. The charged roservoir may be kept for any time, under any.conditions ol cltmate, withont | suffering deterioration or waste. The provision for informing the uses as to the number of chargos fired is & to tating dial, on which an indicator marks fle is especially adapted for light shooting, and will kill at sixty yavds. Its work Is accurate, and it gives good penctration. Bullets fired through one- inch boards were flattened on the irvon sheathing behind the target. RN A SOUL FUR MUSIC. The Infant Musical Califa Tos Angeles ha rodigy of Southern o, a musical prodigy. Annie Poindexter Dunn is the prodigy's name, and the violin is the instrument hich she pours her soul. She is years old, but has known more ss about handling a bow ever since she was 4. When most young misses are sucking sugar plums or spanking their dollies to sleep sho was worrying with Raff's cava- tina and opuses and such. Her pavents were quick to appreciate and glad to encourage her wonderful talent and secured the best instructors within reach. Before long she w as a participas entertainments, much sought after in musicales and church and invariably won round after round of applause from those who could appreciate her preco- cious delicacy of touch and accuracy of rendition. Her father is the Hon. Poindexter Dunn, who for some time held a seatin congress from Avkansas Little Annie was given her first lessons at her south- ern home by Emil Siefert, and continued her studies at Washington under Her- man C. Rakerman, who dedicated to her a slumber song, which she plays delight- ful In 1888 the family came to Los Angeles, and there she was given in- struction by Harley E. Hamilton. She has shown wonderful improvement, and is thoroughly devoted to her music. Recently Edounard Remenyi, one of the world’s most notable virtuosi,- visifed Los Angeles, and the child wonder played before him, The eccentric genius was charmed, and he wrote of the little one the following characteris- tic note: “Inthe ecity of Los Ange city of the angles, the 1 which is embedded among flowering hrubs—in the city full with heavenly vogetation, full with orange trees: and to crown all there are the wonderful and most individual and most graceful palm trees—in the midst of this charmed cir- cle there lives a small, a wee bit of a girl, a kind of—well, something betwixt a fairy and a sprite—who goes also b the name of Anita Poindexter Dann, and who is chocked full of heavenly gifts, and among these gifts there reigns me in her little heart and soul a 1 genius which, if well dicected, by intelligent tuition might lead to most unexpeeted results. “To this wee bit of a creature, to this little Anita Dupn, I predict a most bright future—if not spoiled.” i Piles of people have pues, but DeWitt's witchhazel salve will cure them. P Evolution of the Shirt, ‘‘When the neglige shirt first became says the Philadelphia Record, “it inel or silk shirt, with a soft collar and no cuffs to speak of. ' Its object was to relieve a man of weaving starched bosoms collars and cuffs in hot weather, when mfortable, but ’likely t down from perspiration and give the a slovenly appearance. Now, how- r, the only difference is found in the The neglige shirt is as stiff as a ard, and_the collar even stiffer; so are the cuffs. In fact, it isn't neglige at all. The sume thing upplies to the russet shoe. \When it first camo out its chief advantaze lay in the assertion that it wasn't necessary to have it shined up every day or so. Som one, however, had to invent'a patent polish for the neglige shoe, and it costs more to shine that than it dos regular black shoe.” les, in the itching 1t Oures Colds, Goughs.
