The Telephone Paten U.
AFTER
CAM
JANUARY 30, l8()4, ANVIIODY
MANUFACTURE TELEPHONES 4
WITH MAONETIC TRANS-
MITTERS.
Much public interest h,i been ex
cited throughout the country 'by the
announcement that the patent for one
of the important features of the Bell
telephone was about to expire. A
search of the records of the patent
tifnee disclosed the facts that the pat
ent granted to Alexander Graham
Bell, March 7 1876, expired on l ues
day. This patent covers broadly the
art of "transferring to, or impressing
upon a continuous current of electricity
in a close circuit, by gradually chang
ing its intensity, the vibrations of air
produced by the human voice in
articulate speech, in a way to cause
the speech to be carried to and re
ceived by a listener at a distance on
the line of the current" Briefly stat
ed, the situations as to the Bell patent
are tnese.
Letters patent to Frof. Bell, grant
ed Jan. 30, I877 will expire January
30, 1 094. 1 ne supreme court has in
this patent sustained claims tor
sounding bot, for a speaking tube or
a mouth piece, ;and for a metallic
diaphragm, broadly. These details
are so fundamental that a commercial
instrument could hardly be constructed
without them.
I ne loreign patent to Bell covers a
receiver, and was filed December o,
1876, and expired December 9, 1800.
It did not become a patent until May
5.1877,80 that the United States
patent to Bell of 1876 would not be
limited by this foreign patent, because
the invention had not been "previously
patented," within the meaning of the
statute, prior to the 1876 foreign pat
ent to Bell.
The patent to Hunnings in England
of Sept. 30, 1878, expired Sept. 30,
1892, This pat:nt covers
microphone, witn a comminuted or
powdered electrode. While it may be
true that the patents in this country
on such a microphone have expired,
yet it is not to be ovelooked that a
patent has recently been issued to
Emile Berliner which covers a micro
phone broadly that is, a contact tcle
phone depending upon pressure be
tween the electrodes. It also must
not be overlooked that a patent was
issued May 3, 189a, to T. A. Edison
for a microphone with a high resist
ance electrode, broadly. It covers s
species of the genus covered by the
Berliner patent It is to be presumed
that the Edison and Berliner patents
are valid patents until a court of com
petent jurisdiction has declared the
same invalid. The foreign patent on
the invention covered by the Edison
patent has expired under such circum
stances that it may fairly be said to be
doubtful whether the latter be a valid
patent. It is well known that a suit has
recently been brought in the United
States circuit court of the district of
Massachusetts to annul the Berliner
patent.
Assuming that the Edison and Ber
liner patents are valid patents in law.
it is clear that, notwithstanding the
fact that the invention covered by
the Hunnings patent may be public
property in this country, yet if any one
not authorized should use it, he might
be held to be an infringer of the
Berliner patent.
The patents covering so-called
"Blake transmitter" expire shortly.
They cover, briefly stated, pendulous
electrodes, diaphragms held in place
by a spring, and mufflers acting as
diaphragms.
It is a fair conclusion to reach
therefore, in view of the present state
of the said patents relating to tele
phones, &c, owned by the Bell Tele
phone company, that there seems to
be no good reason why, after Jan. 30,
1894. a telephone having a magnetic
transmitter should not be put upon
the market without danger of infring
ing other patents. This at least is the
opinion expressed by the chief
officials of the patent office.
As to central exchanges, it may
fairly be asserted that a primitive but
serviceable exchange may be used
without inlringing any patents (of
which there are many), because,
possibly, anticipating telegraph switch
boards. Until a court of competent
jurisdiction has passed upon the vari
ous questions involved, it is not safe
to go further than is above stated.

SrRINO MATERIALS! THE BASKET WEAVE
DOTTKD KHALI. IKS: COTTON FABRIC
millinery: colors.
Spring fabrics as yet present very
little that is real) novel, except the
'basket weave," which appears in self
colored wools of ' both standard and
new shade, plaids and also in ribbons.
These "basket weave'' wools make
very desirable costumes for early
spring, rivalling the loosely woven
Cheivots, or whip-cord" stuffs; are
forty-sir inches wide and $1.25 per
yard. A very small . silk and wool
check, called "Shepherd check," is
very serviceable, and a smooth
finished Cheviot, powdered with pin
head dots in contrast, is suitable for
afternoon also, thus possessing a great
advantage over the ordinary Cheviot.
Cheviot challies, very light weight, all
wool fabrics, come in dark, phin
shades, in pencil stripes as well,
especially adapted to traveling or
general wear. Crape finished challies
in stylish light hues are simple, yet
effective for misses or young ladies
evening Oresses, and comparatively
inexpensive; an varieties retailing at
60 cents per yard.
NARROW STRIPES.
remain in favor, and varied com
l. : f r
umauuns 01 size ana color are
noticeable in new wool stuffs; also
strewn with the tiny contrasting dots
above mentioned. Shot materials are
also very stylish, purple and green
tan and green, or rose and green, are
among stylish combinations.
. COTTON FABRICS
are often limitations of high
wools, cotton velours being
cellent production of Velours
English sateens show designs
to those employed in rich

an ex
Kusse,
similar
silks.
Cotton Bedford cord with raised dots
between the cord is very attractive,
and crape finished, dark hued cottons,
strewn with small single flowers, such
as daisies or pansies, make more use
ful summer costumes than those hav
ing light colored grounds, bilk strip
ed ginghams are very stylish, showing
paie timea sunace, crossed by con
trasting silken stripes, and the pre
sent display at the leading house of
Lord & Taylor, is particularly hand
some and well selected,
THE PREVALENCE OF LIGHT COLORS
in hats is even greater than that of
last season, nevertheless a certain
proportion of black, especially black
lace, will always remain in vogue
Misses and children's hats are larger
tnan ever. II desired thay may be
loaded down hui four or five
materials and as many colors. The
"Empire" hat is the newest shape for
young ladies, the large crown fitting
closely at the back and over the ears,
with a high, long poke at the front.
It comes, in plain straw throughout, or
edged f with a rough, color or lace
straw-braid, cloth of which will be
used as edgings on ribbon, loops as
well, or forming entire hats, sometimes
of one color, and quite as often vari
ous tints are combined. The levival
of Leghorn is noticeable in bonnets
for middle-aged persons, and large,
round shapes also, which when liberally
trimmed with ostrich tips, present a
very handsome appearance. Crowns
are pointed, flat, large and small,
brims curved or plain; a genuine
novelty, howeves, is the introduction
of face trimmings, usually a becoming
style. Velvet is in great favor, as
may be judged by the fact that a
pri mihent millinery house now shows
one hundred and thirty shades.
Grasses of all descriptins, clusters of
moss rose buds, violets, ribbon,
straw-braid, black or while lace,
ostrich tips, let, and lrxlescent or
Rhine stone buckles are stylish trim
mings. GREKN AND PURPLE
are leading colors, and in compensa
tion for the partial disappearance of
gray, many grayish greens ot blues
have been introduced, rurple ranges
from pinkish heliotrope to Eminence
Purple, combined with green, rose
tints, brownish hues, and various
light shades. Tan is still in vogue and
largely used with green, yellow or
blue. Yellow and black are almost a
necessity for elderly persons, and it is
also used with fine effect on hats in
tended for youthful especially the
canary shades.

The Lehigh Valley Lease.
Among the cases set down for a
hearing before the Supreme Court this
week is the appeal of Mathias Arnot
from the decision rendered by Judge
Metzger, of the Lycoming County
Court recently, in the case testing the
legality of the lease effected by the
Reading Company with the Lehigh
Valley system. The master in the
case first decided that the lines were
not "parallelling and competing," and
rendered judgment in favor of the
Reading Company. The case was
then carried to the Lycoming County
Court and Judge Metzgar sustained
every point made by the master. Mr.
Arnot's counsel then gave notice of an
appeal to the Supreme Court. Read
ing officials say they are not at all ap
prehensive as to the final results.

Spring Novoltiei for Ladies.
Novelties innumerable greet the
shopper this season at every step of
her journeying from shop to union,
from bazaar to emporium. Never
was the variety greater or the materials
more beautiful in texture, colorings
and device. The woolen textiles ot
to day if one confine her attention
io them alone have reached such a
degree of rich beauty that it would be
an easy matter to design an entire
outfit, or indeed, a whole trousseau
with them. Among other elegant
fabrics are grenadine rayce, and miroir
ombre, cameleon and nacre velvet to
use in combination with handsome
silk or wool tissues. Bengaline
oudine is very effective. Eglantine
royale is another handsome textile,
likewise French taffeta in delicate
tinting, brocaded with Pompadour
bouquets in natural colors. The
Oriental dyes also are noted in many
of these fabriae, the gay mixture
catching the eye of the shopper at
once. Indeed one would lose her
way in this labyrinth of novelties un
less she possesses a reliable guide. The

precis.ly a sure companion, for they

Why?
Why Is Strictly Pure
White Lead the best
paint ? Because it
will outlast all other paints, give a
handsomer finish, better protection to
the wood, and the first cost will be less.
If Barytes and other adulterants of
white lead are "just as rood" as
Strictly Pure White Lead, why are all
the adulterated white leads always
branded Pure, or
"Strictly Pure
White Lead?"
This Barytes Is a heavy white powder
(ground stone), having the appearance
of white lead, worthless as a paint,
costing; only about a cent a pound, and
is only used to cheapen the mixture.
What shoddy is to cloth, Barytes is
to paint. Be careful to use only an old
and standard brand of white lead the

Comment by He. , If. Doyle.
Topic Temperance. I'ror. xilll, lfi-23.
The provbs of Solomon are full of
instruction and wisdom. It is not with
out mason that they are so. God gave
liiin wisdom. Bis position was such as
to give him personal experience in all
the vanities of life. lie was also, as we
learn from his writings, a closo observer
of men. Guided by those three sources
of wisdom, in torse, pointed sentences he
constantly lifU his; voice against tho in
jurious and evil practices of men, and
among them intenifMTonce. In the ref
erence of our topic we see what we may
call three warnings in reference to in
temperance: 1. Solomon waras against the charms
of evil, verso 17, "Let not thine hoart
envy sinners." There is 'something about
sin and sinners that fiwciiiates specially
the youthful and inexperienced. It was
ttiis that caused the downfall of our first
parents. A fatal look, a fatal desire, a
fatal action, and humanity was ruined.
Intemperance particularly, as seen in its
best light, presents these fascinations.
The brilliant saloon, the quiet wise
party, with their associations of apparent
freedom, of good cheer and joviality, have
their attractions. But we must not envy
sin and sinners. The look of desire may
lead to false action, and in the end ruin.
To see sin in its true light we must look
beyond its glitter and glare. In its hid
eous forms of disease and death it is not
enviable. That these may not como to
us let us envy it not even in its most de
sirable forms.
2. Solomon warns against the associa
tion of evil, verse 20, "Bo not among
wine Uboers." Great danger lies in evil
associations. "Evil communications cor
rupt good manners." No one can come
in contact with evil without being con
taminated to some extent. To look upon
evil, to touch it, is contaminating. The
only safo course is to. "avoid the very ap
pearance of evil," to shnn evil compan
ions, to studiously avoid all places and
associations of evil. That which in itself
may not be evil, but which is associated
with evil or which leads to it, must also
be avoided. The true course of temper
ance colls upon us to shun the associa
tion of the intemperate, all places of in
temperance, all things associated with it
and all things whose tendency is to lead
to it ...
8. Solomon warns against the results
of evil, verse 81, "For the drunkard
and the glutton shaU come to poverty."
Who has not see the terrible results of
all sins, and especially the sin of drink?
The pathway of life is strewn with
wrecked bodies, minds, homes, hopee
all caused by the accursed influence of
drink. Let the young, therefore, be
warned against it. Look upon it in its
last results rather than its first appear
ances. "In the end it biteth like a ser
pent and s tinge th like an adder." In
total abstinence alone lies true safety
from tho awful results of intemperance.

Junior Endeavorere.
Mr. Sizer, state secretary of Washing
ton, tells of a junior society that is rais
ing money to erect a drinking fountain
in front of its church. This will be a
living and permanent temperance ser
mon. Why should not every church
preach in this way, anu why may not
every junior society take np such a
beautiful task?
The Young People's Standard suggests
that one of the following verses be re
peated in concert by the children while
tho missionary offering is being collected :
I am hut a iwnny In a little hand.
Can I bear the glad tidings over all the land?
Yes, If lore goes with me, then ah all 1 be
blessed.
For God's love is promised unto all the rest.

The work of redemption is purifvtnir
and perfecting, and when at last the
work is done it is the world of Christ
your world, my world human society
redeemed, transformed, the kingdoms of
the world become fl!e kingdoms of our
Lord and his Christ.' It is because young
men and young women all over this
country have 6een this vision of a Christ
in themselves, of a Christ in their fel
lows, and of a Christ in society, because
clearly or not clearly, consciously or un
consciously, they do know that they aro
tne sons or uoa ana their fellow men
are the sons of God, and because they
desire to work out in themsolves and
others likeness to Christ, it is for this
they have risen up with a great enthusi
asm, and are marching forth, I lelieve, to
a great victory. Lyman Abbott, D. D.
