The Lndierous in Patents.
RY W. 1R. irO,ormt.
The amount ofi misaOlied talent -en-
gaged on inventions that can never be
used, is as wonderful as lit is prolific, and
there is a ludicrous element in many of
the ariplications, whichis well worth in-
vestigation. We extract from the re-
corda of the United States patent office
an account of some a these, that show
wore genius than common sense, and
have producedniore laughter than profit:
in 1870, the owner of a certain bee-
hive, irratated. by the loss of his honey
by the bee moth, asked for a patent for a
combined hen -roost and beehive. He
had noticed that the bee moth travels at
night, While the busy bee works by day.
His desire, therefore, was for a device
that should admit the worker by. -day,
and keep out the thief by night. This
• his ingenuity effeeted,by the erection of a
hen -roost pivoted upon a beehive provid-
ed. with gates. The bees were expected
to be in their cells just before dark; the
hens, lighting on the roosts, were then
to close the gates of the hive, and keep
them shut all night The early risiug of
the fowls would'automatically open the
gates again, and return: the bees—their
honey all safe—to the airs of heaven and
the flowers of earth.. He received his
-patent. ,
• Another applicant asked for a patent
right for. an artificial moon, that should.
• light eacb town that used lit, without ex-
pense. His eye had often been struck
• by the reflection of distant windows at
sunset, and how far the light travelled.
He, therefore, proposed a ballon for each
town, sufficiently large to raise a huge
reflector that was to be hoisted every eve-
• zing at dusk (about the time the hens
• shut in the bees): The reflection of • the
sun's rays, cast downward'on the village,
• was sure to light it through all the dark-
ness of night Fortunately for himself,
this inventor presented his application
• through a patent attorney, who told him
it was doubtful if it could be obtained. -
In the fall of 1871,a gehtleman, prob-
• ably, from California', applied for and re-
ceived. a patent for building houses on
• wheels or -rollers, so that, in case of
earthquakes, they might' roll forward or
• backward, but not be shaken to pieces.
Only three years have, passed Away
since a very ingenious gentleman from the
• rural districts applied for a patent topre-
ent cows from switching their tails! He
.\
presented two models- -one shaped,like a
bottle,. around the neok of which the
cowls tail is to be curled; the other con:
ststed of a square block,. with. a hole in
the centre, wherein the tail was to be put,
and. then tied in a knot, so that the ani-
mal could not withdraw it. On the pre-
sentation of the application, the official
examiner thought ., it could not be
'granted, because of a similiar device in
"Don Quixote." where Sancho Panza,
trying to -sleep in the hay lieft, was kept
awake by the braying of his donkey be-
low. His wakefulness ga.v. Sancho time
to reflect that, when ridingthe donkey,
the animal always switched his tail
when he brayed. • Descending hastily
from the hay loft, the Squire . tied
a block to the donkey's tail to prevent
him froni braying, -But ae this device
originated with. a Spaniard, !and had nev-
er been repeated in this emlintry, the of-
fice decided to grant the patent. Our
readers will, therefore, re ember that
they cannot tie a cow's tail o prevent its
switching, Without a payment of royalty
to the owner of this pri-Viletire.
• Another gentleman applie'd for a patent
for heating canals by steamso that boat-
ing could go on in winter as well as in
summer. •The office deeided that this
invention was woithy of protection,
and gave him his patent. • 1
Another applied for a coMbination of
dock and bed, so ingenious ; construct-
ed, that, when the clock . struck, the
bottom of the bed • dropp d out. He
daimecl that his plan wpuldi awaken the
sleepers. •
•!
Speaking !of combinations, he must
have come from'Missouti or Kansas, who
asked for a combination of icannon and
plow. For this purpose hel filed three
applications, ina,kiug the- i •elongated
handles of the plow hollow, do as to form
two canuon. These were Ito be- kept
lie
loaded till guerillas were aft r him ; the
cannon was then to be fired, !he gueiillas
shot down and the fanner t _go on his
plowing way rejoicing. •
And he, too, must have coine from the
borders who' asked fest a pate it of a com-
bination of a trunk and I once. The
trunk was, made of triple sid s, and mov-
ing up and down. Doing di ty all day
in guarding clothes, when night came on,
and no cabin near,the. tripl walls ele-
vated into one, and the benighted travel-
er was safely housed., • a
Another asked for a patent for the in-
• -volition, of the generation o steam, by
boring a hole in the ground CR he reach -

IA b11, requiring owners of threshing

thued into -the Legislature of Ontario,

opinions, but such a law should be enact-

is becoming alarming, ;unlit is to be

He gravely set forth that he had made

empty into it a little ra rcur'. By the

The Orange Groves of California.
The orange groves •are a magnificent
sight to behold Just now, laden as they
are with- their golden burdens—golden
in seeming and golden in reality. .
The harvest] is just commencing, and
large quantities are daily arriving at the
depot to be shipped to San Francisco and
elsewhere. One dealer of San Gabriel
sold his orange crop for $30 per thou-
sand. His orange grove cove's five
aor s, and contains 500 trees. Estimat-
ing Ichese afal,p00 oranges each, the crop
is I; orth $15,0010. Three thousand dol-
larsi an acre is a pretty good return for
the r cultivat on, and nearly 411 clear
.
pro 1, for the crop was sold on the trees.
One acre iii Southern palifornia can
be made to yi 1cl as great a clear profit
by, semi-tropi al nut and fruit -culture
as twenty to fifty acres in the 'Eastern
Sta es deYoted to ordinary kinds - of
farthing. When one looks at tile loads
of t is luscious fruit daily cona'ng into
town, and thinks of the ininien e profit
the must yield to their oWners,lhe can-
not help but wish he had come here
soixe twelve or fourteen year sooner
andl gone into the orange bueniegs. -,
11 -kinds of vegetables can be culti-
vat d between the rows of orange trees
---p anuts, pdtatoes, melons, pu pkins,
l
bea s, squashes, peppers, an many
oth r things. Ramie, too, could, be cul-
tivated with i success, and 'mulberries.
Sone planters sow the intervening space
• with barley, and when the crop is har-
vested, they put in a second one taf corn.
