CONTENT IN THOR ISOLA7ION Citizens of Little Republic of Andorra Ask Nothing of the World Save Toleration. While -new republics are engaging attention, a very old one continues living its life in northern Spain and seemingly well enough content to re main comfortably hidden in the Pyre nees. 'Covering perhaps 100 sqlvare miles 'of fertile valley among the mountains, a census -of the republic of Andorra would number no more than 5,000 persons, many of whom make matches; to buy those matches in Andorra a purchasInk agent of the Y. M. 0. A. journeyed from Paris dur ing the war, and his account of the adventure in thq pages of Travel in troduces the little republic to the readers of that periodical. Oharle magne, one learns, gave the Andorrans their liberty something over 1,100 years ago, and there they have re mained ever since, too small and at the same time too inaccessible, pre sumably, to have their liber*ty taken away from them. The bridge still stands, arching a mountain stream, on which the ancient Andorrans are believed to have signed their treaty with Charlemagne in 810. A "picture book country," says the seeker for matches, and enumerates "black mountains with real caverns, ruined towers and butldges, peasants in scar let and green and tam-o'-shanter caps, driving pack mules and herds of sheep along the mountain roads." A contented little republic, apparently where all that the people ask of the outside world is that it buy their matches and other native products, and otherwise leave them alone.

A recently designed portable indus trial furnace is self-contained, requir ing no wire or pipe connections as it is moved about in shop or field. Its fuel is kerosene, whieh is reduced to a gas the moment before being ignited, an(] is claimed to give a teliperature ranging from 2,500 to 3,000 dlegrees Fahrenheit. The kerosene is held in a storage tank supportecd unde(lr the burner on the standi carrying the burn cir.

PATENT OFFICE BUSY PLACE Last Year Broke All Records In the Number of Inventions Thrt Were Filed. Last year was a record year in vol unme if not quality of inventions. Ap plieations for patents reaching the ptent oflice during 191(, appronched the unprecedented number of 70,000, rnore than any year's output. The in crease grew with the year, Aaron Hnaixly Ulm writes in the Nation's Business. Those for the thlrd quarter exceeded by 51 per cent receipts of the same quarter In 1918. Invention, of course, did not sus pend during the war,.but, at least in volurne of. production, it diminished. And a great proportion of that which did function related to war objects. But at noon on November 11, 1918, the great war became as ancient to the in ventor as the Peloponnesian conflicts of long ago. i October, 1919, there reached the division of the paftnt office ijandling metallurgical inventions a total of 602 applications for patents. In one divi sion 'handling chemical subjects-there are several chemical divlsions-489 applications were filed ; in the agricul tural impleeinct divisIon, 354 applica tions arrived ; and the division dealing with vehicle wheels and such appurte nances received 721) applications, about one-half of which related to resilient tires. This last item (iscloses the fact that inventions for the automobile in dustry best reflect the current work of the patent office. lin Oclober, for instance, 411 applica tions went to the division that handles nutomobile engines and parts. That, considering fraime work and gearing, received 550. "MARK 'EM ALL QUARTERS" Simple Method by Which Medical Ser geant Solved Monetary Complica tion Arising in Crap Gamc.
