Fortunes are invested in models and
jiatterna u&ed in various branches of
lu.-inufuctiircH. Tlie pattern room of any
of the larye iron inolders or machine
tthopa that have been long in iteration
presents an array of woodwork that has
coat a good deal of money. Take, for in
stance, the iron front of a building. The
various columns, panels, cornices, tsills
and ornaments have all been made in
wood, which is used to mold the 6and in
which tho iron is cast.
Generally the cost of the patterns is
paid for on the lirst order. Subsequent
orders for castings of the same patterns
are executed more cheaply because the
patterns are ready made. Sometimes the
foundry owns the patterns and supplies
duplicates to all customers, but in many
cases owners of buildings prefer to own
their own patterns, so that no other
building may look like theirs.
The preservation and duplication of
patterns is a feature and source of great
profit in mauy manufacturing opera
tions. It is a characteristic of all kinds
of printing. The tyie founder procures
matrices of various fonts of tyx) at great
cost, but having once secured his mold
ho can go on producing any number of
duplicates at trifling cost. The first cost
of the mold is the main cost, compared
with which the cost of metal and casting
Ls trifling. Tho same is true of all pro
cesses of printing pictures.
Thd wood engraving, tho lithographic
atone, the steel plate, all cost much at
the outset, but, being once produced,
they may be duplicated by various pro
cesses at comparatively trifling cost.
Thus a picture may be sold for a profit
at a penny, although to produce the first
one may have cost thousands of dollars.
CJOVERNMKNTAL. PATTERNS.
The application of duplicating proees
ws to the building trade has worked an
industrial revolution. It is true that one
result is to produco buildings much
alike. The designs for doors, windows,
stairways, stoops, vestibules, towers,
locks, bolts, mantels, sideboards, pier
glasses, cornices, and, in fact, all parts
of a building are used over and over
again, and the cost of building is there
fore much cheapened. The fact is that
many parts of buildings may bo pur
chased ready made and in any desired
quantities, and buildings constructed of
such material are put up very cheaply.
But when new designs are needed, odd
shapes, fancy styles, novel ornamenta
tion, the cost is greatly increased.
Before the war all the paper money in
the United States was printed by private
companie i, who owned all the plates and
patterns. E'en the United States gov
ernment did not own the plates from
which its notes wero printed, and in one
famous case the counterfeiter, by subter
fuge, procured from these private parties,
for a nominally honest purpose, the use
of tho devices used in printing a United
States treasury note; and tho devices
thus fraudulently obtained were actual
ly used to produce a tpurious treasury
note, which was in many respects au ex
act duplicate of tho original. That risk
led to the adoption of a new plan by
which, when the government got any
notes printed, the contractors were com
piled to surrender all the designs, pat
terns, dies and plates nsed to produce
the issue. o that they could not by any
possibility be used for any but legiti
mate purposes.
Ultimately that led to the establish--ment
of the bureau of engraving and
printing, and the government now con
trols all the patterns of its paper money
in the same way that it controls the dies
of its metal coinage. The expense of
steel engraving is so great that it is cidy
by duplicating and using the same de
sign again and again that it is made
profitable to use sxich beautiful designs
as are used in commercial work, as notes,
bonds, bills of exchange, etc.
ABOUT DUPLICATES.
The pattern room of a great machine
shop or locomotive works or engine
builder contains the accumulation of
years of improvement and invention.
As a machine is developed and changed
the patterns are altered and used over
and over again. To produce the patterns
new every time a new machine is wanted
would require great exjiense. A fire in
a pattern shop is therefore a great calam
ity, for it destroys patterns that can
hardly be replaced.
It often happens that one spoon or a
fork of an old set is lost or stolen. If the
silversmith has preserved the die a new
spoon or fork may be made at trifling
cost. But if a new die has to be cut, the
expense is very great.
There are a thousand and one ways of
using the same pattern for duplication
in various branches of industry. The
most beautiful products of the sculptor's
art are duplicated in plaster. The mod
ern parlor stove is a marvel of the use of
rnodels in castings.
Lots of things are stamped. All kinds
f brass and tin ware jiots, pans, ket
tles, ash cans, waiters, dishes and the
thousand articles of domestic use that
are made from metals go through the
.stamping machine. The very best talent
is therefore nsed to produce the original
patterns. Sometimes artists of very higli
repute, who would be very much averse,
to have it known that they do purely
commercial work, are tempted to fur
nish designs or pictures for advertising
purposes, and occasionally they are so
g.xxl that their excellence betrays the
author.
Stealing patterns is one of the nupun
ished crimes of the age. When a great
firm of American jewelers showed at the
Paris exposition au entirely novel set of
jewelry made to imitate the rarest and
most exquisitely farmed and colored or
chids, the Frenchmen stole the idea at
once and had copies out in a few weeks.

Proof of the Earth's Motion.
Take a good sized bowl, Gil it nearly
full of water and place it upon the floor
of the room which is not exposed to
shaking or jarring from the street.
Sprinkle over the surface of the water a
coating of lycopodium powder a white
substance which is sometimes used by
ladies in making their toilet, and which
can be purchased of any druggist. Next
upon the surface of this coating of white
powder make with powdered charcoal a
straight black line, say an inch or two in
length. Having made this little black
mark on the surface of the contents of
the bowl, lay down upon the floor close
to the bowl a stick or some other straight
object, so that it will lie exactly parallel
with the charcoal mark. If the line
happens to be parallel with a crack in
the floor or with any stationary object in
the room this will serve as welL
Leave the bowl undisturbed for a few
hours, and then observe the position of
the black mark with reference to the ob
ject it was parallel with. It will be
found to have moved about, and to have
shifted its position from east to west
that is to say, in that direction opposite
to tliat of the movement of the earth
upon its axis. The earth in simply re
volving has carried the water and every
thing else in the bowl around with it,
but the powder upon the surface has been
left behind a little. The line will always
be found to have moved from east to
west, which is perfectly good proof that
everything else contained in the bowl
has moved the other way. St. Louin

While hunting antelope on the prairies
of Colorado I was the witness of a very
interesting chase between an eagle and a
jack rabbit. The various circle and
downward sweeps of the eagle attracted
my attention, and 1 resolved to ascertain
the reason. I put 6pur to my horse and
succeeded in gaining an elevation from
which a good view of the chase could be
had. The rabbit, to all appearances, was
very much bewildered, and would run
first in one direction and then another,
and sometimes in circles, its pursuer,
the eagle, following its every turn.
Finally the eagle, .'is if tired of this
sport, with a vicious downward swoop
and a stroke of the wing laid the rabbit
out lifeless on the prairie. At this mo
ment 1 gave a tremendous yell, and at
the same time rode rapidly toward
them, which had the desired effect of
frightening the eagle away, leaving its
victim in iny jossesiou. which turned
out to be the only game I bagged that
day. Forest and Stream.

Baby is Sick. The woef ull expres
sion of a Des Moines teamster's
countenance showed his deep anx
iety was not entirely without cause,
when he inquired of a druggist of
the same city what was the best
to give to a baby for a cold? It
was not necessary for him to say
more, his countenance showed that
the pet of the family, if not the idol
of his life was in distress. "We give
our baby Chamberlains's Cough
Remedy," was the druggists answer.
"I don't like to give the baby such
strong medicine," said the teamster.
"You know John Oleson, of the
Watters-Talbot Printing Co., don't
you? Inquired the druggist. His
baby, when eighteen months old,
got hold of n bottle of Chamberlain
Cough Remedy and drankthe whole
of it. Of course it the baby vomit
very freely but did not hurt it the
least.and what is more it cured tha
baby's cold. The teamster already
knew the value of the Remedy, hav
ing used it himself, and was now sat
isfied that there was no danger in
giving it even to a baby. For Sale
