Women had been fatelilng their dreaaue

and It la probable that aome one had
made a lot of money out of the original
Invention. i;ut hooka hid a way of com

t-inlUx of the book and eye. A man who
wide awake, deapil hla reaidenc In
J j.iiad;lpl;la( bent v f theae hooka, ao

hooked, lie patented it and has monopo

One day a man stood behind his wife
while ulie put up her hair. The hairpins
of those days were straight pieces of
wire. Thev did not "stay put" very ef
fectually. The woman In this Cft bent
her hairpins before putting them in. Her
husband saw her do It. The result was
the Invention of the crinkly hairpin, which
Ik toclny used In carload' lots by the
wo n i eh of the world.
Important an Invention as the tele
phone waa madu by turning a acrew one
fourth of one revolution. All the mil

before Mr. lb II who had come near find

Hell cloved that gup when lie turned the

months. Finally he demonstrated It to

that enable the operator of the machine
to vtop and s'.uit without having to get
out and crank up hit machine -sometimes.
It Is Interposed between the running gear
and the motor, where it keeps the car
marking time while tl.e cio'slng is block
aded. This clutch was Invented before auto
mobile, were. For a decade after its In
vention theia was no opportunity 0f , n.
piling It to any good purpose. Then the
automobile was Invented. In fact, tieorg
II. BeluVu waa one of the early builders of
automobile.. and it is logical to upos
that ho built thein lhat ha might make
an opportunity to use his clutch. Certain
it la that he long had ylutctt on the
automobile business. Before his patent
waa declared Invalid about t-'.Oou.OUO had
been paid by nearly ninety automobile
makers, who found It cheaper to pay than
to engage In expensive lltlgqtlon.
Thaddeua Fairbanks was a. New Kim.
land farmer with long whlakers and
much Yankee Ingenuity. In his time old-
fashioned ateelyarda were the only accu
rate means of welghina- the Droduce of
the) farm. Platform scales were unknown.
ror nobody had ever worked out a method
of arrang1uT'the levers that aunuorted
the platform in such a way Hint an ob
ject would pull equally no matter upon
what part of the platform It rested, old
Thaddeua Fairbanks uaed. to tell the story
of the evolution of the arrangement of
these levers. Tor a long time the problem
was upon his mind.' He used to lieawake
nlghta and attempt to arrange thoRe
levers. It waa In the dead of night that
hla thinking finally bore fruit. The ar
rangement unfolded Itself and the Fair
banks scale waa the result. Ho did. a
farmer practically monopoliio the scale
business of the world, and so did he write
his namo upon platform stales wherever
civilised man buys and sella by weight.
It was a man named llyman 1 Up
man, likewise a resident of Philadelphia,
who Invented the rubber eraser that
throughout our generation as been at

It was In 1859 that the, Invention was
made. In those times people talked In
much smaller figures than nowadays.
Llpman waa, however able to caah In hla
patents for a cold 1100.000 when dollars
went much farther-than they do today.
