PATENT OFFICE CRANKS ,
The Ortlclitl Hntinloil by Makers of All
Thine * .
Everybody employed In the patent of
fice nt Washington is prepared to admit
nil but the latest arrivals are eager
to asseverate that there are queer people -
plo in the world. A writer for the
Washington News recently explored the
record room and discovered drawings of
the latest patents piled on a low shelf.
Upon perusal the Ural device of peculiar
niituro was discovered. The invention
in question was an Improved method of
exterminating mosquitoes , for which a
Texan was given letters patent. The
winged messengers of bliss probably
made themselves obnoxious to the pat
entee and ho determined to umilhlUUo
the whole spceics. His invention is
a queer nnd complicated inter
mixture of screens , gutr/.o and
whirring mcchanlbin , into which
the buzzing little songsters are drawn
and effectually annihilated. Another
inventive genius from the west solicited
a patent for a fruit picker. The instru
ment ia a very modest looking affair ,
resembling pomowlmt'1 ' one-half of a pair
of fahcars. A small ring Ills over the
foroflngon.of the operator and brings at
right angles a cutting edge or blade.
The fruit to be cut is held in the left
hand , and by grasping the stem in a cer
tain innnnor with the right hand and
giving a quick twist either the afore
said fruit or the thumb will bo 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 bus to bo respected.
A littlfc way down in the lilo is a pe
culiar looking machine , patented by a
Michigander , and Ubod by baid gentle
man in lifting pans und stoves. The
apparatus etnbodios such a complicated
mass of lovers , screws and other similar
devices of mechanism that it is safe to
t-ay his panliftcr will never find popular
favor in the American kitchen. For
months a car-coupling epidemic lias
spread itself and permeated every state
in the union. This epidemic ib a mania
for all classes to invent car-couplers and
got patent grants therefor. The larger
portion of these couplers are so compli
cated and useless that the anxious
patentees will never receive an iota of
good from their inventions. A certain
individual from the Empire state named
Collins applied for a grant on a wickless
lamp. The latttcr was tested jind an
explosion followed. The lump and ap
plication vwcnt to pieces together. But
queerest of queer departures in
this enlightened ago is that taken
by an eccentric resident of Ohio ,
who invented an equally eccentric
boat on eccentric ideas. The boat waste
to bo so constructed as to roll over the
waters in the fashion of a log or wheel.
This strange craft was to bo propelled
by the wind striking 011 suitable blades
standing out from the radii of the hull.
The Ohioan failed 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 highoiv than a balloon. Then
comes Knox , ar buna fide citizen of a
southern state , who has apparently pro-
fitted by the example of tlio American
who tried to catch sunshine some years
ago. This modern mortal lias con
structed a conundrum which , ho alleges ,
will effectually capture the heat from
Old Sol , and retain the same for later
uso. 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 bo
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 ho can capture ami
store atmospheric electricity during a
thunderstorm for home consumption.
BULLETS FIRED BY GAS.
A. Uun that MiiKcs Little NoUo and Nc
Hmnko.
The Giffard gun , which was tried recently
contly at Nottingham by a board o :
English army ollicors , seems likely to b <
the first gun which uses any other propelling
polling agent than powder to attain any
thing like u practical success , says tin
Now York Sun. The propelling ngom
of M. Paul Giffard'a rillo is liqueiict :
carbonic acid gas. Tlio gun itsel :
is not now , nor is the principle upor
which it is constructed. M. Giilard liui
had a gun before the public for man
than three years , hut since that time , he
has made boveral Improvements and con
sldorably modified it in detail. The pro
pulling agent which ho uses makes vori
little noise and no smoke and leaves IK
odor. Only a very slight recoil followi
the discharge and the gun does not foul
The propelling agent is always coin
pletcly under the control of the porsoi
tote handling the gun.
In appearance the Giffard gun Is some
thing like a Winchester shotgun. I
has an ordinary cetagon barrel , under
ne.ath which is fitted u Giilard reservoir
ai' the inuga'/.lno Is called. This reset-
voir is a steel cylinder closed at ono cm
and fitted at the other end with u valve
The rcborvoir contains a supply u
liquefied uarbanio acid gas at a prestiir
of two tons to the square inch
BiiHlciont for from forty to slxt ,
tote
rounds , according as the gun is to b
iibcd at u long or short range. Then
reservoirs are tested in the nninufuctur
toilS up to throe times the strength nccessar
to hold the gas under pressure , and ur
ilS guaranteed to be perfectly bound an
safe. The special valve at tlio end c
the reservoir is BO contrived that at cue
o-
oIn pull of the trigger the regulated quiu
tity of gas enters tlio bullet chamber.
> it 'i'ho rillo is of thohummorluss type un
id Is neat in appearance and handy in fern
All the parts are interchungiuiblo un
3d can bo replaced. Such a safety catch 1
still used as is ordinarily fitted on hununei
less uhotguns. Tlio throwing forward <
ill the lover , which herves also t
y- _ the trigger guard , opens th
. bullet chamber for the ini < ertio
as of the bullet , which is conical bhapei
ss It also cocks the gun and moves th
counter which records the number <
sh charges fired. The sumo action place
py the gun at "safe. " By returning tl
lover to its position the bullet chamber
s closed , A movement releases the
afety catch.
When the trigger Is pulled the tum
bler strikes the firing pin , which presses
against the valve of the reservoir , open
ing it momentarily. This permits the
regulated quantity of gns to cscapo into
the chamber , where it instantly ex
pands , forcing the projectile through
the barrel with increasing Iin ] > otns until
it leaves the muzzle. The charged
reservoir may bo kept for any time ,
under any conditions of climate , without
Buffering deterioration or waste.
The provision for informing the uses
as to the number of charges llrcd is a ro
tntlng dial , on which an Indicator marks
at every tenth round the number of
charges remaining.
The rillo is especially adapted for light
shooting , and will kill at sixty yards.
Its work is accurate , and it gives good
penetration. Bullets fired through one-
inch boards wore flattened on the iron
sheathing behind the target.
A SOUL FOR MUSIC.
Tlio Infant Muvlrnl I'rodlgy of Southern
California.
Los Angeles hns a musical prodigy.
Annie Poimloxtor Dunn is the prodigy's
name , nnd the violin is the instrument
into which she pours her soul. She is
now U years old , but has known more
or less about handling a bow over since
she was 4.
When most young misses ave sucking
sugar plums or spanking their dollies to
sleep she was worrying with Raff's cavil-
Una and opuses and such. Her parents
wore quick to appreciate and glad Co
encourage her wonderful talent and
secured the best instructors within
each.
Before long she was much sought after
s a participant in mu > > lcalcs and church
ntortnlnmcnts , nnd invariably won
omul after round of applause from
hose who could appreciate her prceo-
ioiiSidollcucy of touch and accuracy of
'cndition. '
Her father is the Hon. Poindoxtor
) unn , who for some tune held a sea Jn
longross from Arkansas Little Annie
ois given her first lessons at her bouth-
irn homo by Einil Sicfort , nnd continued
ior studios nt Washington under Her-
nan C. Knkcrinanwho dedicated to her
i slumber song , which she playsllolight-
nlly. In 18S8 the family came to Los
\ngclcs , and there she was given in-
truotion by llarloy E. Hamilton. She
ias shown wonderful improvement , and
s thoroughly devoted to her music.
Recently Edouartl Romenyi , one of the
vorld's most notable virtuosivisifed
JOB Angeles , and the child wonder
ilayetl before him. The eccentric
. , 'onius was charmed , and ho wrote of
ho little one the following characteris
tic note :
"In the city of Los Angeles , in the
ity of the angles , the bewitching city
which is embedded among ( lowering
shrubs in the city full with heavenly
vegetation , full with orange trees ; und
, o crown all thorn are the wonderful and
most individual nnd most graceful palm
trees in the midst of this charmed circle -
clo thcro lives a small , a woe bit of a
jirl , a kind of well , something betwixt
: i fairy and a sprite who goes also by
; ho numo of Anita Poindoxtor Dunn ,
.ind who is chocked full of heavenly
gifts , and among those gifts there .reigns
biiprouio in her little heart and"soul a
musical genius which , if well directed ,
by intelligent tuition might load to most
unexpected results.
' 'To this wee bit of a creature , to this
little Anita Dunn , I predict a most
liright future if not spoiled. "

K volution of tlio .Shirt. . ,
'When the neglige shirt first became
popular. " says the Philadelphia Record , "it
was n flannel or silk shirt , with a soft collar
and no cuffs to speak of. Its object was to
relieve a man of wearing starched bosoms
and collars and cuffs in hot weather , when
they are not onlv uncomfortable , but likely
to wilt down from perspiration and give" the
wearer a falovenly appearance. Now. how
ever , the only difference Is found in the
color. The ncjrligo shirt is as stiff as a
board , and the collar oven stifTcr ; so are
the cuffs. In fact , it isn't negligent all. The
same thing applies to the russet shoo. When
it first came out its chief advantage lay in
the assertion that it wasn't necessary tc
have it shincd up every day or so. Some
one , however , had to invent a patent polibli
for the neglige shoo , and it costs more tc
shine that than it docs a regular black shoo. '
