Hen Discobered How to Make Sugar White--Dog Gave Us the Art of Dyeig--Eccentticit- ies of the Patent Office. New York Sun Whenever a new patent comes out, . especially some little thing that any- body might have made, you will al ways hear the remark : "Why couldn't 1 have thought of that?" Fortunes ere made from * even the most trivial contrivances. A man walked from Philadelphia to Washington to patent the gimlet-pointed screw, and the sim- ple idea eventually earned him more than a million dollars. The rubber tip an the end of lead pencils made its inventor rich. The metal point on the end of your shoestring carned a fortune for the woman who thought of it, and the copper cap that so long adorned the toes of children's shoes earned $2,000,000 for the lucky person who patented it. Many valuable inventions upon in a most accidental way. art of making sugar white was dis- covered by a harmless old speckle hen. This feathered matron one: day went for a walk through a field of clay, and later, without taking 'the precaution to wipe her feet, walked through a sugar mill on the same plantation, scattering clay over the loose mounds of sugar as she passed 'Afterwards it was discovered that wherever her tracks had fallen on the moist sugar the clay had whitened it Scientists took np the matter and from this docident introduced the method of bleaching Sugar by the clay process. « A dog gave us the art of were hit Th dyeing ago that the date is of small cons quence, a hoted man and his sweet heart went for a walk along the sands of the seashore in a far-off country. A little dog trailed along at their heels, and becoming weary of much love making finally ran ahead and went fishing among the rocks. One particular shell fish which he captured and devoured exuded a fluid which dyed the hair about . kis mouth a pretty purple. Investigation of this incident founded the science of dyeing cloth, A man from Michigan was told by the doctors to take his wife south for her health. He purchased a big waggon and team for the trip, and thought to make some profit by car rying a stock of feather dusters to sell along the way. One day he went to the factory where his dust being made and while standing in the yard talking to one of the employees picked up from the ground one of the "strutters'" or tail feathers of a tur key--the refuse from ' the duster fac- tory. He began idly twisting a thread back and forth through its broken edges, and the idea of the featherbone came to him. The featherbone is the successor of whalebone, and is indis- pensable to the attire of the modern woman. He patented the idea and re- ceived so much money from it that he will never have to travel overland in a waggon again unless he wants to. A man standing in front of the post office in . Washington bent 'a small piece of tin in his fingers until it took the shape of a T. "This would make a good paper fastener," he remarked to a man with whom he was talking, and he straightwgy had the idealpa tented. Another man. made money 'rom the device of an imbedded string in an envelope to cut the paper as it is drawn out. Still another man add- ed to this idea by tying" e knot in the end of the string to keep it from be ing drawn through.

Women have heen prominent in the field of invention and there are more than 3,500 different devices credited tc their ingenuity. Of the list of thing: invented by women about ninety per cynt. are devoted to the home, the kitchen and to dress. The first patent given a woman in the nineteedth con tury was grented to Mary Kier in 1s for 'straw weaving with silk or thread '--the probable forerunner o American matting. Une of the most reant inventions by women is a +hoe string that won't come untied The records of the patent office show how some people have invaded the fiddd of invention with most cecentric ideas An invention called the "anti-snoring device" is something similar to a tole phone. No sooner does the sleeper Le gin to snore thgn the sound is trans mitted to his own ear, causing him to awake at Another ambitious inventor has brought out a machine which will automatically tip a man's hat when he passes a woman acquaint ance on the street, A woman is responsible for a patent crimping pin that can be used as o pauper cutter, a skirt supporter, a paper file, a Bouquet holder, a safety pin, a shawl fastener and a book mark.

The pulpit was set for his short pre- lecessor and nobody could do a thang vith it. The inventor had insisted that his device was easy enough to nanipulate, but it proved most stub orn and would not submit to a re djustment. The tall man started in vith it, and it was so low that in cading his text he had to stoop yver almost as much as if his book vere placed on a chair. When he be ran to preach he was getting along vell enough, until he suddenly stamp 1 his foot to emphasize a point.
