Of the making of patents there is nc ml, like the milking of book. Th bookmaker and tha patentee are hull brothers, the one making machine fur the convenience of the mind, and the other mukins ttiiria for the con venienet uf hand. Both we through the same glass, and both see the illusive Vision ol wealth and fame. The distinction ii that bookmaking and patentinakinj, which are' failure, produce an army pi desperate cranks, whose persistence ol purpose is equaled only by the nselesn es or impracticability of the book ol patent. This a'e of invention has, how ever, produced orm class of inventors 4ned faairs,, Wuicti ueriVea A liVi-Ii-bood by it schemes to driw the coin from the pockets of the better claws of Inventors. - . The patent fakir in some citiei is Ixv couuns Rnincrjjnr:. JirofJK-reui rul hold. It is only a qnetitinii of time until con gress will have to suppress him. The "patent fakir," us distinguished from the legitimate a'ent, is to called because he runs an agency that is a pur fake. Any one can become a fakir, and ' he doesn't need much knowledge ol either patent laws of mechanical laws. The legitimate patent a ,'ent is a man ot wide knowledge, easily commanded. The fakir simply rents a suite of roomi ndpu!s up his sin. Then he frequent ly begins the puolicatiou of a patent paper. It isn't necessary for the paper to have my circulation, but Is good idea to Mid ou'. toveral hundred sample copie to known inventors. Then he watchet legitimate patent journals closely, and the publications and reports of the patent office, and when an invention ii found that it is possible, be thinks, t( induce its originator to back it up to th bottom of his purse, be wri'es him ticklish letter. how toe fakir wokks. He wiys something of this sort: That be "ha regarded with deep interval your valuable invention." Continuing, be may state that he will be glad to put the article ou sale, and a model will help oJiim greatly. The last paragraph of th Jetter is to the effect that "the agency ' is publishing a p ip t of general circula tion, aiid that a d.-scriptioii of the pat ent will be printed for ten dollars; for a like amonut the reading matter will b adorned with a cut of the invention, which Is the property of the invent- i After used once, but to properly and cheaply advertise the invention it is neces-ary to purvh-e-e C.Ooi) circulars at two dollars per l.Oo ), which the "agency" Will mail to interested capitalists. Here is a bonanza for the inventor for only thirty-two dollars! Publication in an illustrated journal and introductiou to the wealth necessary to make bis in Tention marketable. So he replies to the circular and incloses the necessary amount. This is how the "agency" plays its part. When tl.e thirty-two dollars is re ceived a cheap cut is made and about "Mti-.-k." of J-s'TiT;ti V '.i.. print'-d. About tiin - thousand circulars are printed, a bundle of which is sent to the intvntor. and the remainder fed to eld I3ore:is from the housetops. The paper may have little or no circulation, but still its circulation is g-neral." The model of the patent which is for warded is placed on "exhibition" foi aale, and thus tile H.'r'Ui'-nt is nomi- Dally k-pt and no law is violated.

When one stops to consider the enormous nnmijer of inventors who accept the- proffers of help it can be seen bow proc perous the business may be. IJULLIUME INVENTORS.. It is said tiiat one man who has been in this "fake" business in a city down east for many years has fcecured a vast fortune, and that he occupies several floors of a building with his oQicea.

Another a-Cem-jr method is to organize an n-a.H.'iatinu" for in Teuton, the membership in which is all the way from ten dollars to twenty-five dollars The inventor is not requir-d to pay his membership fee nntil his patent has pH.sed the "test" of the "eiamiiiinx board." lie that test successful or mi-ucces-iful, the inventor receives a highly illuminated picture of an examining board examining inventions and paa.iog judgments thereon. If his was anccc. fnl he la eligibly to membership, and il nnsnccefsful he must go elsewhere. There is no violation of the letter of the agreement which induces the inventor to Joiu the association. The litter does all It promises, but all it promises can bene fit him little. Recently there came under the ban ot the French government an academy of - invention. The plan of this institntino was to have a gradual system of inves tigation of the patents submitted, and each stage cost I few dollars additional. When the last one was reached medals arere awarded at different prices, but the inventor seldom got off for less than fifty or seventy five dollars. The "acad emy" was opened by an astute Parisian, who. while he had violated no law, was morally gnilty of working a confidence game npon thousands of his country men. Indianapolis News.

Prof. IIuloos,(oiiHo!tlngrhemW of tbf Chicago Board i f lleah,'Ira - Hilt Opinion, The public in always responsive to Butrecston admit, the food it cat". Or'eat interest has been taken in the investigations made by the United States and Canadian governments and liy the tlihcrent boards of health to show th? purity or ! purity of milk, Inking powders, apices, mid other articles of dailv ! use in the culinary department of j our households. ! Just now the subject of baking powder is claiming public atten tion. e mi desire pure and wnnif some hrend und this cannot be had with the use of impure or poison ous baking powder. There can be no longer any question that all the cheaper lower grades of baking powders contain either alum, lime or phosphatic acid. The officials analyses by the United States and Cnnndain govern ments have therefore been studied with interest and have pretty clear ly established the facts upon this subject. The United States govern ment report gives the names of eighteen well-known powders, some of them advertised as pure cream of tartar baking powders, that con tain alum. The report shows that the Royal baking powder was found the highest in leavening strength, evolving 1( 0.6 cubic inches of gas per single ounce of powder. There were eight other brands of cream of tartar powders tested and their average strength was 111.5 cubic inches of gas per ounce of powder. The Canadian government inves tigations were of a still larger num ber of powders. TheKoyal baking powder was here nlno shown the purest and highest in strength, con taining cubic inchesof leaver ing gas per ounce of powder. Nine other cream of tartar powdi r ounce oi powder were tested, their average strength being reported to be Ml lilbic inches of gas per ounce. These figures are very instructive to practical house-keeper. They indicate that the K'-yoi bakingpow der goes more than 'XI per cent, further in use than the others, or is one-third mure econmical. Still more important than tbi.i, however, they prove this popular article has been brought to the highest degree of purity for to its superlative purity this superiority in strength is due and co;i,q u-nlly Jhat by its une we way lie insured the pure? and most wholesome food. The powders of lower strength are found to leave large anioiuils of inert matters in the food. This fact is emphasized by the report of the Ohio State I-'ood Commissioner, who, while finding the Royal prac tically pure, found no other powder to contain less than 10 per cent, of inert or foreign matters. The public interest in this ques tion has likewise caused to be made inve-tigntioa by our I.:! author'- j ties. Prof W. S. Haines, of Rush Medical College, consulting chem ist of theJChicago Hoard of Ilea th, has found resultingsimilarto those reported by the national and Conn dian.aulhorities. Dr. Haines says: Ri mi M r.i. CnLLF.r.K, Chicago. I have recently obtained samples of the chief baking powders in the market, and have subject them to careful 'chemical examination to determined their purity, whole someness and leavening power. As the results of my test I find the Royal baking powder superior to all the others in every respect It is entirely free from all adultera tion and unwholesome impurity, and in baking it gives off a greater volume of leavening gae than any other powder. It is, therefore, not only the purest, but tilso the strongest jowder with which I am acquainted. WA1TK,;:3. IUlNEN, M. Ii, Consulting Chemist, Chicago Hoard of Health. The statistics show that there is used in the mnnufacttire of the Royal baking powder more than half of all the cream 'of tarter con sumed in the United Statea for all purposes.QThe wonderful sale thua indicated for the Royal baking pow dergreater than that of all other bakingfpowdcrs combined -is per haps even higher evidence than thnt already quoted of the superior ity of this article, and of Its indis pensablciiess to modern cookery.
