Machine," for WI Wee Got: t From the Pro Ss Commissioner of oronto News. One day, not an application for a patent j'"Betwtel flying machine." The tt proved to be a minister of sl, and he explained to the exper that the hook of Euzckicl 'mferely 'prophecy, but con- full: and accurate recipe for Senet fn" This he had worked out erie India ink drawings and dia- ,. which he was positive would Settle the case. The examiner an- ®wered that he had no doubt it Wwoultl, but meanwhile the applicant Would be required to subscribe to the tustomary oath. The minister seized the paper with avidity, but laid it down sadly when he found that he was roquired to swear that he was the origifial 'discoverer of the inven tion. As he could nog, afford to dis- credit his favorite hodk of Scripture, he withdrew his letter of application and sketches. Inventors' Secrecy. or four times a year have the tent Ofie to Vstally dtc not the es to be scnsation- "al, but quite as much to the fact that they cannot get a patent on their \ gnventions, and thus « protect them ninist ruinous imitation. The Patent Act requires that an inven- tion be really an invention, ic., that it be new and usciul. To be of use it would seem a flying machine must be able to fly. In the case of any or- dinary wtechanisig, it 'suffices tomaka u sericsfol drawings to file with tho specification, the principles involved being so familiar that any one skill ed in the art to which the device be- fongs could produce a specimen from the patterns and descriptions, and would know in advance that it would work. Not so with the flying ma- chine, 'which has so far defiled the brightest wits that have boen train ed on {t. There never was an inven tor of a flying machine who did not , "know" that it would work But on the other hand, there is at Ofta wa no model that has ever borne out ts claims. Boller Boats Roll Not. The same way with the roller boats. Tens of thousands of dollars have been spent on the efidrt to make the boat "roll And roll it did--usually in a totally unexpected direction. There have been hall a dozen inventors of roller boats at least one of whoa has spent his en tire fortune = in striving after . the geciningly impossible, The flying machine presents even more difficult- fes. When the application for permis sion to submit plans and specifica tions is made, the Patent Office blandly and patiently answers that by all means, the gentleman ay send in his descriptions of the flying machine. Of course, the Patent Of fice believes that the gentleman 18 going to score a failure, but that is not the business of the Patent Office 1f the gentleman--as has been done once or twice--asserts that he has a full-sized machine that will fly, he is asked to bring forward the testimony of persons who have scen it fly. Maxim's Machine. i Probably the man who has made, next to Santos Dumont, the best ef- fol at solving the problem of human Right, is Sir Hiram Maxim, the gun inventor. lle built a huge aeroplane which was propelled by a powerful steam engine, and which ran between upper and lower rails B, strated the ability of a s tiself, aeroplane to elevate not regarded as a successful flying machine, because it could not run long enough. The engine required so much water that it could not carry the weight of fuel necessary for sus- tained flight. Sir Hiram Maxim nev- er allowed his machine to soar away from the rails that held it in subjec- tion for fear it would run out of fuel and come to earth with a crash, for no means had been discovered to keep it in control. The fuel difficulty may, of course, be settled by the use of gasoline. Still, the way out is not yet clear. 3 Flying Machine Toys. There have been invented a good many small affairs which will go in- fo the air and stay there a while They will not carry human passcen- _ gers, and they aro really toys. As toys alone have they received the sanction of the Patent Office, Any body can get a patent on an inven- sion of: this kind if only it will perform gyrations in the air. Diri- balloons are not treated by the atent Office as machines for me chanical flight, for the balloon Is an "old Jice and all that can be pew Bt g apparatu$, which, ow way the field has been #8, is usulilly rejected on the nd of a lack of novelty without 'any serjoys examination of its hroad- or claims "The English and Amer} can inventor always sccks to have inventions patented at Ottawa, #8 woll as at London and Washing fon, and the Canadian Patent Office ity follows the English or Ameri- icat oi' the bros) Ee experts at Ottawa are still that a flying machine, Dumont 8 exhibitions, ong ago, the patents office | TH the present yet, n of 'it, says Day by Day | | 1 | | always on duty.

The custom of handshaking dates back to prehistoric times, a relic: of those savage days When strangers could not meet without suspicion of murderous purpose Then all men went abroad with weapons and shields, and, when they met, would stand in pleasant converse, each with his shield upon his left arm and with right hands clasped so that there would be no chance for a sudden swing of the knife or bludgeon. The right hand was invariably used for the weapon, with the result that we are a right-handed race. The reason for this that the lay undoubtedly in the fact left arm was always em ployed in the important work of shielding the heart Among, the common people of the Aryan race, the old pledge of amity in yielding the right hand to be grasped and held has since remained the chief token of open friendship. In the Iliad the returning chibfs were "grected ! with extended hands.' remote day the early significance of the handclasp had been lost in _ the nobler meaning of civilized life.
