Under tbe bending “A Statesman’s

prominent place to the following ed¬
itorial:
“la a recent interview on the extra
session of concrete*. Senator IBM, of
New York, fa reported as snyiog: be¬
“'I wonder if congress has ever

“This fa a queer mistake for a
United States senator to make. We
supposed that all senators knew that

Into the mental habit of viewing ths esar’a
vast kingdom as s srod-barbarte region
where a few feudal lords rule many mill¬
ions of serves. We could not get out of
our mind the notion that Rustle Is wild,
rude, uncultivated, Inartistic. So we have
approached ths Russian pavilion in Maou-
facture* building with a feeling that duty
and enrioaity are driving os to spend a
few moment* inspecting the back-country
exhibits of tha st eppe* of eastern Europe.

as you eaa ass It down the great Colum¬

sians are a people to themselves, their art
tbeir architecture, their designs, their
methods, are things apart from the re¬
mainder of Christendom. The pavilion
dates nearly three centuries back. It it
cathedral-like. One corner has a great
vestibule, wherein you see examples of
ceiling and wall decorations in vogue in
the Greek church. Along tbe entire front
of the pavilion runs a broad platform, dec¬
orated with urns and vases of hewn mar¬
ble and other bard stones from tbs
mines in Siberia
Pseeing within, one is drown by some
fascination to tbe huge eases in which
silversmiths of Moscow and St. Peters-
bnrg present the first of the
surprises wbich we are to encounter here.
It is the enamel ware. We think we

felt eo grateful for America’s
during their famine period that they
spent much money in making a show
that would contribute to tbe artistio
of the exposition. Leas than any other
foreign nation are they hungry to
ican dollars.
There are several notable pieces here.
One fa a magnificent medallion, framed
carved oxidised silver, which was
sented to the csarowitch by hfa
of Ural etwsacks in commemoration of
their crossing tbe Danube in the Rusao-
Turkfah war of 18TS. The picture ia

have been many thousand* of dollars, but
of course that fa not given under the cir¬
cumstances.
Tbe masterpiece of the collection fa

mentioned. In furs, aa might be expect od,
they are simply magnificent. Noteworthy

perial Russian State Paper manufactory.
Its printing, engraving, photography, art
lithography, hand-made papers as well as
papers of aP grades. Us mixing of colors

state of development of all these arts.
This concern, which corresponds to our
government printing office and bureau of

fields with his pair of horses and antiquat¬
ed plow, and Tolstoi the ripe author and
philosopher. There fa fine exhibit of Asiatic prod¬

uct, gathered especially for this fair, and
said to be the mostcomprehensiveillustra¬
tion of life aud processes in.Siberia ever as¬
sembled. The thousand square feet of sur¬
face iu the Liberal Art* department Is a
display which you will ali want to see. It
will be the means of convincing you that
the children of Russia are not permitted
to grow np in the darkness of ignorance,
that tbe czar's government is not wholly
devoted to the making of war and collec¬
tion of taxes. There are 806 schools, many
of them art, needle work and technical
schools, throughout the empire under the
patronage of tbe czar and empress, and
these make a comprehensive showing of
what they have been taught to do that
will compare favorably with similar ex¬
hibits from tbe schools of this country.
In this section, also, are tbe pieces of
needle work made by the senior pupils of
the embroidery schools for presentation to
Mrs. Cleveland at the close of the fair.
They are as fine examples of the art as are
to be found anywhere in the exposition.
One has as its figure piece s graphic de¬
lineation of an event of recent occurrence
which fa of interest both in Russia and
America—arrival of tbe relief ship from
this country laden with America'i gift of
corn and wheat to the famine sufferers.
Russia makes fine exhibits In the Agri¬

NOT SO HARD AS IT SEEMS.
A patent strikes most thing. people The idea aa an ap-
pnllingly formidable fa that
an inventor must be u natural genius, fits
fciiison or Bell: that, be must devote years to
delviug in complicated spend mechanical fortune problem* delicate
and that he must a on
experiments before he can get a newdeviceto
a patentable degree of perfection. This de¬
lusion the company the desires to of dispel. It. de.
sire* to get into head the public a
clear corapreken&ion of the fact that it is not
the great, eomplez, and expensive inventions
that bring the best retuniH to their authors,
but, the iittie, simple, and ubeurdly cheap trivial ones—the
things that seem so that
the average citizen would feel somewhat
ashamed of bringing them to the attention
of the Patent Office.
Edison says that the profit* he has te,
ceivtd from patents on all his marveiona
invention* have not been sufficient to pay
the cost of his experiments Bnt the man
who conceived the idea of fastening bail, a bit of
rubber cord to a child’s so that it
would comu back to the band when thrown,
made a fortune out of his scheme. The
modern sewing machine is a miracle of inge¬
nuity—the product of the toil of hundreds of
busy brains through a hundred and fifty
year*, but the whole brilliant reenlt rests
upon the simple device of putting instead tha of eye of
tbe needle at the point at the
other end.
THE LITTLE THINGS THE MOST
VALUABLE.
Comparatively few people reg/rd them¬
selves a* inventors, but almost everybody
has been struck, at one time or another,
with ideas that seemed calculated to reduce
some of the little dismissed frictions of without life. Usually
such ideas are farther
thought, the railroad make

“liang such a collar button!” growls the
man w ho is. late far breakfast. “If I were in
the business I’d make buttons that wouldn’t
slip oat or break off, or gouge out the
buck of my neck.”
And then the various sufferers forget,
about their grievances and begin to think of
something else, ff they would ait down at
the next convenient opportunity, pat their and
ideas about car windows, saucepans,
collar bu T tons into practical shape, and
then apply for patents, they might find
themselves as independently wealthy as the
man who invented the iron umbrella ring,
or the ooe who invented the fifteen puzzle.
A TEMPTING OFFER.
To indnee people tn keep track of their
bright ideas and see what there is 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 will give twenty-five hun¬
dred dollar* In cash, in addition to re¬
funding the fees for securing the pat¬
ent.-
It will also advertise the inventior
free of charge.
The offer fa subject to the following condi¬
tions:
Every compcfitor mast obtain a patent He
lor his invention through *lie company.
must first'applr for a preliminary search, the
cost of which wili be five dollars. Should
this search show his invention to lie un¬
patentable. [micuiuuic, he uc t-uu can withdraw nituuuin without u * further
expense. Otherwise he will be expected to
complete bis application and The take out a
patent iu the regular way. total ex¬
pense, including Government and Bureau
lees, wili be seventy dollar*. For this,
w hether he secure* the pnse or not. the in¬
ventor will have a patent that ought to be
a valuable property to him. The prize will
be u warded by a jury consisting of three re¬
putable patent attorneys of Washington. the
Intending competitor* should fill out their
following applications: blank, and forward it with

P “I submit the within described invention
in competition for tbe Twenty-five Hundred
Hollar I’rize ottered by the Frees Claim*
Company.
NO BLANKS IN THIS COMPETI¬
TION.
Thi* fa a competion of rather an unnsnal
nature. It. fa common to offer prize* for the
best story, or pictore, or architectural plan,
all the competitors risking the loss of their
labor and the »ucces*fnl one merely selling
hfa for the amount of the prise, ifat the
Fives Claim* Company’s offs* is something
entirely different. Eaeh person fa merely
asked to heln himself, and the one wno helps
himself to the l>e*t advantage is to be re¬
warded for doing it. The prize fa only a
stimulus to do something that would be well
worth doing without it. The architect
whose competitive plan for a club house on
a certain corner is not accepted ha* spent
his labor on something of very little use to
him. But the person who patents a simple
am! useful device in the Free* Claim* Com¬
pany’s competition, need not worry if he
fail to secure tbe prize- rfe baa a substan¬
tial result to show for his work—one that
wi 1 command its value in the market at any
time.
The idain man who usee any article iu hfa
daily work ought to know better how to im¬
prove it than the mechanical ezpert who
studies it only from the theoretical point of
view. Get rid of (the idea that an lmprove-
nnnt can be too simple to be worth patent¬
ing. The simpler the better. The pereon
who beet succeeds in combining simplicity
and popularity, will get the Press Claims
Company’s twenty-five hundred dollars.
Tbe responsibility of this company m«y
he judged irom the fact that it* stock fa held
by about three hundred of theJeading news¬
papers of the United State*.
