Less than two years ago he perfect ed a very useful invention in the form of an arm rest for an army saddle, which is designed to assist an ofliet-r in making a sketch of contour while on horseback. The invention is pro tected by patent and has been adopted by the government. The young officer based great expectations upon this in vention, which was already beginning to yield a revenue.
