M»con Telrgraph.
Notwithstanding the fact that
Georgia’s liny seed legislature failed
fo vote for an appropriation for a
Georgia exhibit at the world’s fair,
Macon nnd Middle Geotgia are rep¬
resented in no mean way at the
greatest fair ever held.
The credit of this exhibit, however,
belongs to that enterprising corpor¬
ation, tho Georgia Southern and
Florida ruilrood. This road, realiz¬
ing tbe great advantages to be de¬
rived from a display of some of the
wouderful resources of the Empire
Btate of the Houtli, has at great ex¬
pense and labor anil through the
kindness of the great Btate of Ohio,
secured space with the Ohio exhibit
in horticultural hall ut the world’s
fair, for u display of Georgia fruits,
melons, vegetables and tobacco.
The exhibit was gotten up b.y Maj-
W. L. Glessner, the popular aud en¬
ergetic emigration agent of tbe Geor¬
gia Southern, and fresh fruits and
vegetables are forwarded daily to
Chicago. Most of these fruits and
vegetables ns (cell us melons and to¬
bacco aregronn at Cyclone!,a farm
under the personal supervision of
Malinger Irby, and every one who
has Been the products of this farm
knows that Georgia is well represent¬
ed ns to quality if not in quantity.
Major Glessner never tires In exhib¬
iting the greut reeotfrees of Georgin
and it was through his instrument¬
ality that the exhibit was mude.
The exhibit is in churge of Mr. F. G.
Withoft, of Ohio, who has large In
ests in the fruit growing business in
this Btate and who is almost as en¬
thusiastic over it us Major Glessner.
Advices from tho world’s fair to
Major Glessner say that the exhibit
attracts a greut deal of attention
and has alleudy been the meuns ol
advertising Georgia, particularly
Macon, and Central Georgia, to a
great extent.
Many people who never before
knew nnything so to speak, of the
great amount of fruit raised iu this
section and tho enormous profits
realized from it have uow become in¬
terested and are making inquiries as
to lund, climate, etc., with u view to
investing.
The Georgia Southern & Florida
railroad runs through a section of
the Btate unequalled in tho world ns
a fruit growing section uud the spec¬
imens of this industry sent to tho

meuns of bringing more people to

World's Fata, July 30.— [Special.] —
Ju«t o* the Belgian* nnd tbe French live
side by side In Europe, so their territory
adjoins here at the Columbian exposition.
In the great Manufactures building, which
to a sort of show place of the nations, tbe
next pavilion after the French that you
com* to iu walking down Columbia avenue
to that of the Belgians. It i* not easy to
tell where the French leave off and the
Belgians begin. As Ingenious and artistic
os the Parisian, though not os numerous
or wealthy, are the men and women of
Brussels. They ate like the French, too.
In much of their work, In their touch, in
their fondness for lnlllinery sad display,
In their skillful fabrication of all the
things which man or irouuui wants for
porsonal use or adornment. They ore
French, too. In their sympathies, In tbelr
ewn dress, In their thought, in their polite
treatment of all visitors. Most of the edu¬
cated Belgians speak French like Paris¬
ians. It Is French that we hear through¬
out this pavilion.
The glory of Belgium, as found In this
exhibit, rosy be expressed in two words—
pottery nnd laces. Though I still adhere
to the belief that the Kngllsh aro the finest
day-workers In the world, it must be con¬
fessed one's faith to much shaken when
be Inspects the wonderful blue delft ware
of Brussels, the porcelains of old Vienna,
the term cottas of Denmark, tha Berlin
porcelain* of Germany and tome of the
beet work of the Japanese. As I am
troubled about my selection of British
pottery os the best In the world so would
the judges be troubled who might award
the grand prize to the Doultons, to the
Limoges ware, or to the delft.
The selection of a ware or article that to
first best, and another that to second best,
to, after all, a mere matter of taste, it to
more or leu fanciful, depends as much
upon the judges as upon the goods. At
one International exposition the English
may get first prize In pottery, and at an¬
other the French, at a third the Belgians,
though nil are In competition on every selec¬ oc¬
casion. For this reason—because the
tions are often arbitrary or fanciful and
therefore meaningless —I am glad that at
this exposition thero aro to be no first or
gold medals, no second or silver medals,
no third or bronze medals; but every ex¬
hibit that reaches a sufficiently high
standard of excellence to to be compli¬
mented by a medal with an accompanying
diploma which shall set forth In plain
words wherein the exhibit or article excels
anu Is thought worthy this distinction.
All the medals are to be of bronze, and all
of the same significance and value.
There can las no doubt whatever that
this lieautfful bluo ware from Belgium
will receive a medal, and a diploma of
warm praise. The delft ware is noted for
the softness of Its colors and for the per¬
fection with which they are blended. But
most of the articles are purely decorative.
They are rases, great plates, plaques, bird
cages, and other ornamental designs. It
to in the making of the high-art table ser¬
vice that th® English excel, snd it to on
this ground that I would put the Britons
abend of all their contemporaries. The
Belgians show nothing, nor the French,
nor even the Austrians, that is equal to
the work of the English potters and artists
in table ware, though it is often a combi¬
nation of the efforts of the French paint¬
ers with those of English ladders and
firers that produces the work which our
British cousins take their stand on.
The delft ware of Belgium is distinctive¬
ly decorativ- rather than serviceable. It
(s unique in shape and design as well as in
color. Here is a diameter, grand piste, some three the
aud a half feet in elegant for
mantel but useless on the table, which has
iu its border eight exquisite cupids. No
two cupids are alike, neither in form or
the expression of their faces, yet all are
perfect. Such a plate sells at *68, aud I
notice that five or six Americans have al-

A delft vase, not so very large but marvel¬
ously beautiful iu its painting—a wood
scene with mountains and lrabbling brook
and a village—to marked *400, and experts
assure me it is remarkably cheap at the
price. The Belgians lay much stress upon
their Barbotine pottery, which is a sort of
mosaic of brighter colors than that to be
found In tbolr delft, but neither ns expen¬
sive! nor as desirable. Tbe best thing they
do, aside from tboir blue ware specialty,
is in tbe comparatively new Rhodian
ware, now for the first time seen in all its
splendor this side the Atlautic. It ha* for
Its motive a revival of the Persian and
Egyptian figures of ancient times, with re¬
markable blending of colors.
The Belgians reproduce and some skill Japanese that th*

Japs themselves, on visiting the Belgian
sect ion, wonder how their work Happened
to find its way hither. One of the most

Ot fine whi, a lines.
When it comes to laces, Brussels to In
the front rank. The grandest piece of lace
work in the exposition to to be found here.
It is a bridal veil, draped on an appro¬
priate figure and gown, majestic in its
sweep from head to floor, wide and ample,
all handmade point-lace, and worth *7,000.
It was ma< i specially for this exposition,
and occupied the time of thirty of the best
lace-makers of Flanders lor several

and these 850 were selected out of more

cels In fans, and In some styles of lace; but
evidence of the close relationship aud good
understanding existing between the
French and the Bolgians is found in the
fact that tho lace which one country pro¬
duces the other lets alone, so there is no
rivalry between them. The Belgians show
some lace with shaded flowers which is
surprisingly fine, the widest, thirteen
Inches, selling at *70 a yard, and the *19 nar¬
rowest, four and a half inches, at a
yard. They have recently revived the
Burano, an old Italian lace—the Belgians
are apt Imitators—which sells at *115 per
yard. They show some fine Valenciennes
from a convent in Flanders, the sisters of
the convent alone possessing the secret of
its manufacture.
There is not much else in the Belgian
exhibit that one cures about, save the guns
and the bronzes. Of the latter the num¬
ber Is small, but the pieces are full of in¬
terest. pavilion Directly within tbe main ent rance
to the stands a striking represen¬
tation of Leonidas at Thermopylae. It
was cast by the lost wax process, which
signifies that only one statue can exist,
since the mold of wax is lost In the cast¬
ing. The purchaser, therefore, may have
no uneasiness about his piece having a
duplicate somewhere in the world, though
if a man loves art for art’s sake, aud not
as a collector of rare things, liken collector
of old postage stamps or obsolete tea pots,
I could never understand why he should
weep if some ofie else enjoys a copy of
the thing which gives him pleasure.
Near by is a twelve-fronted bronze vase,
simple, yet beautifully ornamented. In it
are combined the Chinese aud Japanese
methods of fabrication. Still another su
porb casting is a piece in Florentine bronze
representing “Innocence Troubled by the
Loves.” It is much admired. These fig¬
ures are worth from two to three thousand
dollars each in Belgium, and of coutsb a
a high duty would have to be paid to keep
them in this country.
The Belgians are such lovers of the
chase that they have brought the art of
gun-making to a high degree the of perfection. dis¬
They make one of finest
plays of sportsmen’s guns to be
found irrthe exposition, aud one is snr-
prised to learn that they make a pretty
good gun which can be lartight in their
country for about the equivalent of *1 iu
our money.
Hats and caps aro other Belgian special¬
ties, as well as leather goods. A displ ay-
of native marbles, some of the blocks of
white stone being equal in texture aud
clearness to the celebrated Parian marbles.
Iu small glass ware the Belgians apparent¬
ly make no effort, but they show remark¬
ably fine plate glass. One piece is worthy
mention. It Is 13x18 feet in size, (lawless,
and so clear that a guard has to be sta¬
tioned hard by to prevent visitors walking
through it.
Belgium raises little wool, but she Im¬
ports shiploads of fleece from the Argen¬
tine Republic and weaves from them some
of tho finest fabrics that ever rolled out of

are well known throughout the world.

Losses—French Sentiment
With the Government*
Paris, July It).— Full particulars of
tbe opening of hostilities between the
French and tbe natives at Bangkok
were received at the Siamese logatioii
in Paris. According to these advices
the French gunboats, on passing into
the Menam river, were first warned by
a blank shot from the Siamese forts.
The French, however, replied with
shell. Whereupon the Siamese were
forced to similar action. In the ex¬
change of compliments which followed
15 natives were killed and 8J wounded.
Other dispatches contain startling
news. The first was, from Eastern
Siam, dated at Laigon, and stating that
tho trouble between the French and
Siamese on tbe Mekong river continue.

tured the forts at Dontbane and Lam-

In tbe present temper of the press and
the public the government would be
applauded for any decisive action ex¬
cept absolute annexation, and the gen¬
eral expectation is that Siam will be
forced to concede the disputed territory
on the east bank of the Mekong river,
which France claims once belonged to
the empire of Anaiu. This solution
would, from the English point of view,
it is argued, have one good result, as a
treaty of delimitation would in this be
demanded and the possession of the rest
of the kingdom permanently secured to
the king of Siam.

The Frees Claims Company devotes lum-h
attention to patent*. It has handled thous¬
ands of applications handle thousands for inventions, but it
would like to more. There
is plenty of inventive talent at large in this
country, needing nothing but encourage¬
ment to produce practical Frees CImois results. That en¬
couragement the Company
propose to give.
NOT SO HARD AS IT SEE31S.
A patent strikes moat people as an ap¬
pallingly formidable thing. The idea is that
an inventor must be a natural genius, like
Edison or Bell: that lie roust devote years to
delving in complicated mechanical iorluLe problems
nnd that he must spend a on delicate
experiments before he can get a newdevieeto
a patentable degree of perfection. This de¬
lusion tho company desires to dispel. It de-
sites to get into the head of the public a
clear comprehension eomplex.and of (he expensive faotthat it is not
the great, inventions
that bring the b«Bt returns to their authors,
but the little, simple, and cheap ones—the
things that seem bo absurdly trivial that
the average citizen would feel somewhat
ashamed of bringing them to the attention
of tlie Patent Office.
Edison sayB that the profits he ihus re¬
ceived from patents on all his marvelous
inventions have not been sufficient to pay
the cost of his experiments But the man
who conceived the idea of fastening a bit of
rebbor cord to a child's ball, so that it
would coma back to tbe hand when thrown,
made a iortune out ( i his scheme. The
modern sewing machine is a miracle of inge¬
nuity—the product oi the toil oi hundreds ol
busy brains through a hundred and fifty
years, but the whole briiliant result rests
upon tbe simple device of putting tha eye of
the needle at the point instead of at the
other end.
THE LITTLE THINGS THE MOST
VALUABLE.
Comparatively few hot people regrrd everybody them¬
selves us inventors, almost 1
has been struck, at one time of another,
with ideas that seemed calculated to redueo
some of the little frictions of life. Usually
such ideas are dismissed without liirther
thought, “Why don’t the railroad make
company
fts ear windows so that they can be slid up
and down without breaking the passengers’
backs?” exclaimed the traveler. ”.f 1 were
running the road I would make them in inch
a “What way. the man that made this sr.nee
was
pan thinking of?” grumbles the cook, “lio
ne' er hud to work over a stove, or he would
have known how it ought to have been
fixed.”
“Rang such a collar button!” growls the
man who is late for brcoklnst. “If 1 were iu
the busmees I’d make buttons that wouldn’t
slip oat or break off, or gouge oat the
back oi my neck."
And tiicn Hie various sufferers forget
about their grievances and begin to think of
something else. If they would sit. down at
the next convenient opportunity, put their
ideas about car windows, saucepans, and
collur buttons into practical shape, and
then apply for patents, they might find the
themselves as independently wealthy as
man who invented the irou umbrella Hug,
or the one who invented the fifteen puzzle.
A TEMPTING OFFER.
To induce people to keep track of their
bright ideas and eee what there ia in them,
the Press Claims Company has resolved to
offer a prize.
To the person who submits to It the
simplest and most promising invention
from a commercial point of view, the
company wil l gi ve twenty-five hun¬
dred dollars in cash, in addition to re¬
funding the fees for securing the pat¬
ent.
It will also advertise the lnvcntloi
free of charge.
The offer is subject to the following condi¬
tions:
Every competitor through must *he obtain a patent lie
for his invention company,
must first applv for a preliminary search, the
cost of which will be live dollars. .Should
this search show hin invention to be un¬
patentable, he can withdraw without further
expense. Otherwise he will be exported to
complete his application aud The take total out a
patent iuthe regular wav. ex¬
pense, including Government and Bureau
lees, will be seventy dollars. For this,
whether he secures the prize or not. the in¬
ventor will have a patent that ought to be
a valuablo property to him. The prizo will
be awarded by a jury consisting of three re¬
putable patent attorneys of Washington. the
Intending competitors should fill out
following blank , and forward it with thiir
applications:

This is a competion ol rather an linnsual
nature. It is common to offer prizes for the
best story, or picture, or architectural plan, their
all the competitors risking the loss of
labor and the successful one merely selling
his for the amount oi the prize, i ut the
Press Claims Company’s offer is something
entirely different. Each person is merely
asked to helu himself, and the one wno helps
himself to the beet advantage is to be re¬
warded for doing it. The prize is only a
stimulus to do something that would lie well
worth doing without it. The architect
