About the Patents.

The new Patents and also the Prospectuses to those who have asked for
them, in order that they may earn prizes for placing them in the hands
of families likely to be interested in them, will be mailed to all
applicants about October 1st. There has been a little delay in
publishing the ROUND TABLE Handy Book, but it will be ready October 1st
and forwarded to all who have applied for it. The Handy Book contains
thirty-six pages filled with much useful information. Those who want
Patents should ask for them, and in doing so send the names of friends
who may wish to belong to the Order. Ask for a Patron Patent for your
teacher. The Patents will be handsomely illuminated, four pages, and
bear on the last page full information about the Order.

Amateur Journalism.

The Easton, Pa., venture, which we spoke of as _Leisure Hour_, came out
at last as the _Scribbler_. The September issue is most creditable. It
is small, but hopes to grow. We hope it will. Address Norman Hart,
Robert E. James, Jun., or George F. Wilson, 203 Northampton Street. The
_Eclipse_, a bright little paper published by F. H. Lovejoy, Weldon,
Pa., is larger now than ever--and better. The following-named want to
receive copies of amateur papers. Harry H. Luther, Hotel Gordon, Jamaica
Plain, Boston, Mass.; Charles E. Abbey, Chester, N. J.; J. F. Barksdale,
Hardy, Miss.; and Harry R. Whitcomb, Umatilla, Fla.

Walter S. Beattie, 651 Madison Avenue, New York city, writes:

"We desire original contributions for our paper, _Sports and
Science_, and offer a handsome book, monthly, to the person
writing the best short story, poem, or sketch. All should join the
Sports and Science club, and receive this paper free. Send
two-cent stamp for postage to the editor for all particulars and
copy of paper."

A Visit to Robbers' Cave.

Several summers ago, when I was spending my vacation at Leon
Springs, we were sitting on the porch toward evening when some one
suggested a visit to Robbers' Cave for the next day. In a few
minutes all those idle loungers had dispersed, some to see about a
guide and horses, others to make
