fw tnontb ago a corporation md tin
ef shrewd business men paid to Prof. M. I.
Pupln of Columbia unlrersltr a fortune
amounting to aeveral thousand dollars for
tie Inrentlon of "ocean telephony." a deal
fcased merely oo theory backed by prelim
inary experiment, for thers was no con
elustrs evidence that the Pupln Invention
jrcald result In a single syllable ever being
whispered from America to Europe. The
transaction typifies the new condition in
the world of Invention. The great Invent
ors of past years have enriched Innumerable
either men, but have amassed for them
selves little except fame and that mostly
posthumous. Henceforth the Inventor's
profit will be great and sure and not he,
fcut the capitalist will assume the chancel
erf failure.
It Is very significant that the greatest
jptlmlaU as to the future ef Inventions are
to be found among the men who have the
fcest opportunities of Judging the future
long this line the officials of the United
states patent office. In . discussing the
subject the other day Frederick Allen, the
United States commissioner of pateata,
Wald:
"I certainly do not agree with those per
ajess who consider that we are approaching
ithe end of Invention. I believe that the
.irhole creative realm will go on developing
and expanding In proportion to the growth
of the nation. The business ef this office
'abows It. During the past quarter of a
(century there has been Issued In this coun
'try more than 600,000 patents or over three
times as many as have been Issued In the
'three-auarters of a century preceding It. It
'is difficult to predict along what lines in
centive genius will be most active. Certain
It Is that the evolution of new things will
fco on In constantly Increasing proportions."
Possibilities of the Fatare.
The Imaaiaatlve mind naturally foresee
the greatest possibilities of the future la
the fields of electricity, aerial navigation
and the harnessing of the great power
forces In nature. It Is Interesting to note
that thia popular view has the support of
Hon. Charles H. Duell, who but recently
retired from the position or United States
commissioner of patents, ' and who stands
a ona of the leading 'authorities In Amer
ica on the subject of Inventions. In dis
cussing the matter Mr. Duell said:
' "In my opinion all previous advances In
th varloua linen of Invention will appear
totally Insignificant when compared with
those which the present century will wit
Bess. I almost wish that 1 might live my
life over again to see the new wonders
which are at the threshold. It will be but
few years until . the residents of all our
larger' cities will be consulting the time
tables of aerial 'bee' lines to New York,
allured by: such advantages aa 'io smoke,
o dust, no beat.' Each private re-lleccs
will be provided with Its own plant of
cooling room and cooling devices for houses
will make. bearable any climate under the
stars and stripe. The sun and the wind
will be completely harnessed, and possibly
the waves aa well. Automobiles will be In
universal use and quadruple! apparatus
ahould bring the cost of telephone service
down to about 10 cents a month."
Probably the Held which will give forth
the. most wonderful Inventions during the
next quarter of a century la that of elec
trical science. Within the past few months
devices have been patented which will en
able Americans to talk with their cousins
across the sea; which permit telephone
messages ar ? signals of various kinds to
be transmitted through the earth or below
or above the surface of the ocean without
wires; which cause telephone messages to
ba recorded automatically and repeated me
chanically hundreds of times; make It pos-
albls to transmit colored pictures by wire
between distant points and enable the dls
patch of sixteen telegraph messages over a
single wire.
The Stora- Battery.
The future of electricity and of the whole
transportation world . waits ujkmi the dls
covery of some msaoe to harness tb magie
current and house It In light and eompact
form. , For nearly a third of a century In'
vsntors have been seeking to devise a etor
age battery that will anawer all require
ments, and the specialist In novelties who
first produces it has assuredly captured the
grand prise la the lottery of Invention a
"winning" that will bring him the fame of
Solomon and wealth, beyond the dreams
of avarice. . Lately It waa announced that
Edison had solved the problem, and If his
Invention proves all that Is claimed for It
all the other marvel which have been
brought forth from the wlsard'a cabinet at
Menlo Park will pale In comparison.
A cheap, compact, and durabls storage
battery will make possible electric airships,
teamless - locomotives and horseless car
rlagea of a character more perfect than has
heretofore been dreamed of. Automobiles
the popular vehicle of the dawning oen
turr. have within a few months sustained
a decline ' of hundred of dollars la price
owing to the perfection of equipments, but
the discovsry of the sorely needed storage
battery would eventually make them wlthla
universal reach aa any vehicle may be. The
discovery of a practical storage battery will
open a Bow era tor the electric railway
and hasten the day of electrlo propulsion
tor long distance express train for mall
and passengers.
Even the subject of electric lighting has
not been exhausted by sny msana. ' Oreater
brilliancy and the saving of ths electrical
energy aow wasted so wantonly la present
day lighting systems are the goal to be
reached and the beginning has been mad
by the recent Introduction of a modification
of the old kaolin light, whereby the mix
ture of oxides as a llght-emlttlng element
aa served to produce a glow which
more brilliant thaa an Incandeacent light
and yet not so dassling as an arc. Sup
plsmeatary to electrical Inventions proper
will.be the!, discovery which may be ex
posted In the field of electro-chemistry
"th nsw , science.". Already this new
sphere has pointed a way to filch gold from
ore which no other proctss oould indue to

Every cltlxea t bound to benefit by the
booms to be brought by the era of Inven
tion embraced In the next quarter of a cen
tury for the reason that many of the luxu
ries of the present dsy will be brought
within the reach of a vast proportion of
the population. The members of the gen
tler sex will be enabled to wear fabrics of
th most delicate hue with absolute cer
tainty that they can be faded by neither
sun nor rain; they may purchase at moder
ate prices cotton and wool gsrments which
by means of the mercerising process will be
undistlngulsbable from silk, and finally
they can. In all probability, rejoice In man
ufactured diamonds that will possess every
attribute of the most precious of gems.
Similarly, too, the family of moderate
means will fsre better on the same Income
then Is possible today, for the reason that
quicker and cheaper transportation wilt
bring a wider range of delicacies within
their reach, while improved method of
canning fruit and vegetable will enable
the preserved products to vie with those
of th hothouse.
la th Lino of War.
In th field of offena and defense It Is
not so easy to surmise what the futur may
hold. For on thing It la practically cer
tain that rapid fir gun of much lighter
caliber will be produced, and It la possible
that soma means may yet be discovered to
hurl high explosive long distances within
certainty that their forces will prove ef
fective In th direction desired when the
explosion comes. Soms expert In warfar
can see nothing but a continuance of the
merry rivalry to secure Increased power of
reskrtanc in armor and Increased penetra
tive power in projectiles, but other authori
ties are confident that the perfection of tbe
submsrtns boat, will drive the more ponder
ous war vessels from tbe seas.
There Is every reason to believe that In
the future, a In th paet, fortune will be
the reward of many Inventor of seemingly
th most simple device the Idea which
might have occurred to anybody. The prof
its of the Inventors who evolved the pop
ular "dime bank" and that universal toy,
th bounding ball, stand out prominently
to allure th Inventive genius Into this field,
which has proved so productive In the past.
That a demand of thla class exists Is evi
denced by th constant cry of many inter
est for a non-renllablo bottle. Wine man
ufacturer, distillers, manufacturers of
medicine and perfumery have all Buffered
for the lack of some receptacle which, when
one It contents, bare been emptied, could
not be refilled with an Inferior article and
sold as the original. Th Inventor who can
produce a practicable non-reftlleMe bottle
that can be manufactured at a reasonable
price can set himself down a a million
aire the moment he. I granted a patent.
For years varloua inventors have been at
tempting to aecure a aubstltute for ths
razor. Recently a Frenchman thought ha
bad solved the problem, but after hla de
vice an electro-chemical combination, had
been In use In a Parisian barber shop a fsw
days the patrons discovered that the Instru
ment burned and blackened their chins, and
the Inventor waa obliged to fly before their
rage. Nevertheless there Is a big fortune
for th on who can discover soma harm
less substltuts for shaving.
It ' la Incumbent upon, the race to turn
out a genius who shall discover or Invent
new and practical fuel. Perhaps that
genius Is not yet born. If so. It behooves
him to hurry up and be born pretty soon.
for there Is only fifty years of hard coal
aupply In alght in this country and ,the
price of th mineral is reaching such lofty
altitudes that presently It will be mounted
In gold and worn In necklaces by society
leaders. Soft coal still remains, but the
nation that depends upon soft coal Is a
nation with amudgea on Ha nose and linen
that would be better for the attentions of
the ' laundryman. Some cheap, clean and
effective fuel must be forthcoming or it
will presently be a cold day for the human
race. There is a chance, however, that
some White Knight of the coming ' yean
may contrive to store and distribute the
heat contributed gratia by the solar fur
nace thst keeps us all alive In such a mau-
ner aa to obviate the necessity of lesser
Ores. Many are at work at this; others are
experiment' along the line of fuels. The
one that attatna definite results first will
be able to warm his hands at a golden grate
filled with the form of carbon which we
call diamonds, it his taste in extravagance
runa to that aort of thing. Right here
cornea the need of a perfect amoke con

A nrlvate demonstration waa tnada In
Washington the other dav of an Invention
which, has been pronounced by authorities
on cotton and by eminent chemlata
throughout the country to be the greatest
stride forward In the cottM Industry since
Ell Whitney Invented cotton gin in
the early part of the nlnutventh century. It
deals entirely witn tiw cottonseed and
cover ali steps In Its treatment, from the
time the seed leaves the gin after the cot
ton has been removed to Its production
into refined oil, making pealbls ths aban
donment of six separate operations requir
ing the use of a like nun.ber of intricate
machines. It comprises the complete and
perfect dellntlng and bulling of cottonseed
by a sttcret chemical process in twenty
minutes, compared with the mechanical
means and the hours required under the
old process: the recovery of ci the lint
and bulla of the seed in perfect condition
for paper stock of high uuallty, a com
pared with the recovery of only a small
Dercentaae in Door condition and worthless
aa paper stock under the old process; the
production or rennea oil rrom (he seed in
three operations, occupying one hour and
twenty minutes, as compared with ten
separate operations, occupying many hours
under the old method.
The seed ss It comes from the Bin. In
cased In nulls and lint, is treated by the
secret chemical solution, which removes
tne hulis entirely and dries the kernel or
meat of the seed. The process reduces ths
welaht of the seed one-halt and Ita bulk
two-thirds for transportation to oil mills,
while the cost Is reduced 60 per cent as
compared with the present prevailing
methods of treating the seed.
The hulls and tint removed rrom a ton
of seed by the new process are said to
yield 1.000 pound of paper stock as com

BERLIN. Feb. 2. The chief Impulse on
the bourse the last week waa the kafflr
boom. German Investors buying heavily at
London and Parts and having large bal
ances to adjust at the London settlement.
The cheapness of money in Germany
caused buyers to take their shares Instead
of prolonging the transactions at the Lon
don rates, nence tne large purcnases oi
London exchange during the week, caused
an unusually ahsrp rise In the rates.
The latter phenomenon will undoubtedly
delay the reduction of the bank rate, which
has been expected weekly. Nevtrthelees
the money rates here were scarcely af
fected, while tho private rate of discount
was slightly higher. Call money remain
at per cent offered.
The week'a trading In government S per
cents was especially active, through the
neavy buying or the shorts, wno sold, ex
pecting a relapse through the Issuance of
the new loan and who are now compelled
to cover. A slight reaction occurred In
government Ss at the end of th week
through realization. '
Most of the forela-n rentes. esDeclallv
Austrians, were also actively bought. Bank
stocks were again strongly influenced by
the kafflr boom and rumors that the divi
dend was better than had previously been
expected. American rails attracted little
attention. Canadians were rather heavily
realised upon, as a result of the Increase
of capital. Bhares of ocean transporta
tion companies continue to be in favor
upon the belief that the German lines will
effect an advantageous arrangement with
tne Mew lorx group.
Coal shares continue out of harmony
with the coal market. While coal shares
roan severs points during the week, the
coal situation grows worse. Complaints
come from all parts of the country of the
slow coal business, and the Rhine ports
note the growing competition of English
and American coal. The Berlin coal deal
ers scheduled reduced prices in coal yes-
teraay.
Report from the Iron Industry continue
favorable and further price advances have
been announced. The opinion la growing
more general that the Improvement In the
Iron Industry will be permanent. Iron
shares scored further advances during the
week. The other Industrials were etrong
and cements were remarkably so, as were
the shares of real estate and building com
panies. LONDON SPECULATES ON PEACE

CATTLE There were only lust a few
cattle in the yards today and not enough
to attract the attention of buyers. For tne
week there was a fairly liberal run, as a
good substantial "tain is noted over tha
corresponding week of last year. There is,
however, a slight decrease as compared
with the previous week of this year. For
the month of January the supply was ex
ceptionally large and in fact broke an
records since 1893. The total receipts tor
January, 1902, were 73,439, while In January,
18V3. there were S7.ol4.
The beef steer market waa In good shape
tha Drat part of .he week and prices im
proved, but toward the close of the week,
owing to more liberal receipts and less fa
vorable reports from other points the mar
ket easod off and the week closed with val
ue lOftftlc lower. On Thursday and Friday
in particular tne market waa slow ana it
was late before sellers succeeded In mak
ing a clearance. Choice cattle may be
?uoted from Iti.QO to $7.00, medium grades
rom $5.00 to $6.00 and short-fed cattle sell
largely from $4-26 to $5.00.
Tho cow market was in rood shaoe nrac-
tlcally all the week, and prices on the
medium rrades and canners are about the
same as thev were at the close of last week.
Anything selling from $3.86 down may be
Quoted lust about steady. The choice
grades, however, such aa sell from $3.90
to $6.00, were strong all the week, and a
good many sales looked 10Q16c higher than
tbe same Kinds soin ror last week. a.
prime bunch of heifers ought to sell as
high as $6.60.
Bulls of desirable quality have been
about steady all the week and have sold as
high aa $4.60, but the bulk is selling from
$3.00 to $3.60. Veal calves are strong for the
week and sell as high as $7-00. Stags have
not shown mucn oi any cnange ana out
(w have been offered.
Stackers and feeders have been in light
supply, while the demand for the deslrabl
grades, sucn as snow nesn ana quuiuy, nus
been quite liberal and prices have advanced
somewhat. The common cattle, however.
have been neglected, tne same aa usual,
and have sold very unevenly all the week.
Some - sales looked higher, while others
were undoubtedly lower. Representative

HOOB There was a liberal run of hogs
her today for this time of the week, and
buyer took advantage of the opportunity
to nound the market to a still lower oolnt.
The quality was better touay man it was
vaaterdav. so that on pancr tha market
does not look as much lower as It really
was. A lew sales were maae tnat were
ti,.- ahnut ateadv. but aside from those
the general mariei wa uwui bu mwer
tnan yesteraay, inuinn waa uui active ti
sny time, and the close of the market
waa rather alow and weak. Prime heavy
walaht hnn sold largely from $6.06 to $6 15.
and a few sold above that figure. The
medlumwelghts brought In most cases from
$6 90 to $6.00, and the lighter loads went
from $6 90 down.
Receipts for the week have been fairly
liberal, though not nearly as many hogs
arrived aa were on sale last week, but
aa compared with the same week of last
year there is a slight Increase. The re
ceipts for the month of January broke all
previous rerurua i"i iiibi ui'-fiiiu, nB user
wers over 230,000 head on sale. The ten
dency of prices waa downward this week
at all points, and the total decline Is not
far from jwo.

SHEEP There were a few cars of heep
nd lambs In tha varria thla mnrnlna. but
most everything- was sold to arrive, and
as a result a fair test of the market was
oi maae. it is safe to say, however, tnat
nythlnsr desirable would have aold at rood
teady prices. The sunolv for the week has
not been heavy, as there Is a decrease both
a compared with the prevloue week and
aiau wim tne corresponding weea oi last
year. The supply for the month of Janu
ary was also Mint, aa there la a marked
decrease as compared with the supply for
tne corresponding month of tne Isst several
years, and, in fact, there was the lightest
run since 1897.
The market was In good shape all the
week at this point and esch day's offerings
were picked up In good season. There has
not been much of any change in the prices
paid and ths situation is best described
by calling the market steady to strong and
active. Very few feeders have arrived
and the demand has been sufficient to take
what was on sale at good, strong prices.
