EXPENSES OF PATENTS.

Exclusive Rights for Inventions
Cost Very High.

The Patent Office Is a Money Making In-
stltutlon for the Government—Much
Time Required to Study
Up Cases.

 

The government has recently granted
two patents, which cover probably the
most intricate and complex machine
ever constructed. It is claimed that be-
fore the first machine was perfected
the company constructing it had ex—
pended $1,300,000. The first applica-
tion filed contained 204 sheets of draw-
ings, having over 1,000 separate views.
During the eight years the case was
.pending in the office before allowance
the number of sheets was reduced to
163. When it is remembered that the
majority of patents have but a single
sheet of drawings, and that to require
as many as ten sheets is quite an excep-
tion, the magnitude of the invention
can be understood. The fees charged
by the patent office are uniform for all
cases, no matter how complex or how
simple—$15 for filing the case and $20
additional on allowance of the patent.

“Then this case was filed it was turned
over for examination to an examiner,
who received a salary of$1,800,11nd he
spent six weeks in studying the case
before being able to make the first ac-
tion. The entire specification vs as tw1ce
rewritten, each time by a different at-
torney. How much this cost the inven-
tor is not known, but it is rumored
that the attorney who first prepared the
case received a fee of $10,000 and an
allowance of $2.000 extra to pay for
the drawings. While the case was pend—
ing the examiner who first had it in
charge resigned from the office, and it
was turned over to another assistant
of the same rank. This assistant went

consuming several weeeks, and finally
he was outhmized to go to Chicago
and spend :1 1:: onth in examining a
working l1"11(l:in€-. “hen the request
was first. 1.....-_ of the commissioner
that the examiner be permitted to make
the trip it was promptly refused. For
argument the chief of the division then
carried in the papers, making a pile
some two feet thick of unfolded draw-
ings and typewritten specification, and
the commissioner said: “He can go."
The machine is for the setting, justify-
ing and distribution of type. It com—
prises no less than 18, 000 separate pars ts.
The patent office is a money making
institution. It cams, above expenses,
about $200,000 per year, and now has

 
 

deposited in the treasury a 1::11t little-

balance of over $4,000,000. Upon this
job, however, it .‘ost about $1,000 worth
of time of the various Intent nflice of-
ficials before maturing into a patent,
and when issued the patent rule had
to be followed of preparing copies for
sale at the regulation. price of ten cents
each. The 244 sheets of drawings had
to be photo-lithographed and the entire
body of the specification and claims
Set up in type, costing fo r the third edi-
tion, as est? :nated by the ordinary rules,
a few cents over six dollars per copy.
These copies are sold to the public for
ten cents each, or 20 cents for the two
patents, covering the entire invent-ion.
As soon as one edition is exhausted
another is ordered. A great many peo-
ple order copies of the patents just
for curiosities.——VVashington Star.

BAPTIZED IN A WIG.

Laughable Result Due to a Convert’s Great
Personal Pride.

It was proved at a baptizing a. few
days ago that it is well to go well pre-
pared if you are to bebaptized. A cit-
izen who was immersed at the last oc—
currence of this kind can testify to this
effect. This gentleman, says the Louis-
ville Commercial, had intended to be
baptized, but it toth him a long time to
make up his mind. At last, however, he
came to a. decision, and the minister led
him to a.- pool. So far all was well.

The trouble commenced as soon as
the minister tried to put the citizen’s
head under the water. The citizen ap-
parently did not object to standing in
the water up to his ears, but further, Or
rather deeper, he did‘not wish to go.
Finally, as a last resort, the minister
placed his hand on his head and began
to bear down. As he did so the citizen’s
mass of hair slipped from his head, and
the minister found himself standing
with a wig in his hand, while the bald
head of the citizen loomed up conspic-
uously.

After this there was no trouble in get
ting this head under the water. The
citizen had always carefully concealed

; the fact that he was bald, and when he

i

 

was found out he went under the water
so willing and stayed so long that the
spectators became frightened. He was

. taken out very much ashamed of him-

self.
ODD BILLIARD FACTS.

Making a Table in a Day—The Balls Sea-
soned in Incubators—Coloring Red Bulls.

A billiard table can be built in 24
hours if cartc bla‘nche is given to the
manufacturer, but he prefers to have
time to get the right effects, from one
month to six. The wood needs to be
seasoned for a period of nearly seven
years. Rich, deep Spanish mahogany
is used, pollard oak, ebony and satin
wood.

Tables are not always covered in
green. Blue is sometimes used and a
pure olive green. The late Prince Leo-
pold was the first to make use of the
latter color, and olive green is known
to- -day in the billiard world as “Prince
Leopold’s color.”

The balls must be well seasoned be-
fore they are used for play. Manufac-
turers have incubators in which to store
them that they may undergo the drying
process. Some incubators will hold
fully 3,000 balls. When they are first
made they are “green.” Solid ivory is
the only satisfactory material of which
to make them; “artificial balls” (those
made of'composition) are much heavier
and do not wear well. English makers,
to give the red balls a. perfect color,

steep them in a decoction that is some-‘

times described as the,“guardsman’s
bath.” This is extracted from the old
coats of “Tommy Atkins,” and for bil-
liard balls it is the finest scarlet dye
known. __ 1

The Boston Sunday Herald has this

to say of Fred Hall. N orwalk’s pool ex~
pert: “The necromancy of the one has
a unique exponent in Professor Freder-
ick Hall, who is giving: exhibitions

.hereabouts in billiard rooms and clubs‘f

His skill lifts the pool stroke into a
realm of wonderful and surprising reve-
atiou of the possibilities in the accu-
racy of eye and hand. His strokes can
be but feebly indicated in print.

A Lowell Motlwrs’ Testimony

Lowell; Mass. April 30,1894.—“My
little baby, now fifteen weeks’ old, has,
since b1rth, suffered greatly from wind
colic. All remedies failed to ease him

until a lady ‘iriend recommended Dr.‘
,Hand’s Colic Cu1e.

I tried it, and
would not be w1thout1t and I crate-
fully advise all mothers wishing a sure
remedy for colicky babies to try Dr.
Hand’s Colic Cure. —Mrs. A. L Stur-

Two Lives Saved.

Mrs. Phoebe Thomas, of Junction City,
Ill. was told by her doctors she had (low
sumption, and that there was no hope
for her, but two bo tles of Dr. King’s
New Discovery completely cured her and
she says it saved her life. Mr. Thomas
Eggers, 139 Florida St., San Francisco,

suflered from a dreadful cold, approach-
ing Consumption; tried without result
everything else, then bought one bottle
of Dr. King’s New Discovery and in two
weeks was cured. He is naturally thank-
ful. It is such results, of which these are
samples, tnat prove thewOnderful efficacy
of this medicine in coughs and colds.

‘MISCELLANEOUS ITEMS.

-The 63,500 people who live in
Charleston, S. C., are located over five
and one-third square miles of ground.

-——The assessed valuation of all tax-
able property in Chicago in the begin-
ning of 1895 was stated at $247,425,442.

——Harrisburg, Pa, has 50,000 popula-
tion and nine square miles of territory;
it owes $1,005,000 and is worth $22,500,-
000.

——T he latest plan of the rainmakers is
to produce a. fog and then turn it into
rain, by an ingenious application of
dynamite. London is suggested as a
field of experiment, but Londoners may
object.

—'I‘,l1e jury system established by
Utah is an innovation that will be
watched with agreat deal of interest in
this country. Eight jurors will be sub-
stituted for 12 in all cases not involving
capital punishment», a verdict being per-
mitted on the vote. of six out of eight
jurymen.

—G. F. Henriques, a Brooklyn man,
enjoys the distinction of being the
owner of what is considered the oldest
poll parrot in existence. The parrot is
vouched for by several of its owners to
be the mate of one kept by President
George Washington, and a cousin of
one of the royal parrots kept by George
III. It is one of the Australian variety,
and is over 90 years old.

——According to Prof. Wilcox, of Cor-
nell university,the American people are
gradually “settling down”—~do ' not.
migrate so much from state to state as
formerly. In 1860 exactly one-fourth
of the population of the United States
had emigrated from the state where they
were born. But since 1870 the tendency
to stick to theold home has steadily in-
creased. This tendency is more marked
in New England than elsewhere.

——Me11 of brains are paid handsome
salaries to devise new schemes. The
latcmt and one of the most humorous
amused the patrons of New York
theaters for three or four nights and

succeeded in escaping the notice of
managers. A bald-headed man is the
instrument. On his shining pate is

painted in indigo blue the name of a
patent medicine. He sits in the front
row and conducts himself with proprie-
ty, while people behind him are con-
vulsed with laughter, each observer
supposing that here is a practical joke
someone has play ed on an unsuspecting
friend.

A GRAND OLD COUPLE.

Mrs. Gladstone as Popular in England as
Her Famous Husband.

Much of Mr. Gladstone’s marvelous
success in life, the good which he has
accomplished for his country and the
hold which he has obtained on the af-
fections of his countrymen is due to the
happiness of his home life and domestic
surroundings. Never was afamlly more
truly united than that of the Glad-
stones. They constitutethe most whole-
some type of the English country fam-
ily, wholesome in mind and wholesome
in body, and no breath of dissension or
scandal has ever disturbed the serenity
of their mutual relations.
daughters, as well as those who have
entered the family by marriage, all vie
with one another in reverence and devo-
tion for the one who has done so much
to render the name which they bear
illustrious, a synonym for justice,-piety
and generosity.

But superior to them all on that score
is the “Grand Old \Voman,” as the ven-
erable Mrs. Gladstone, the once famous
beauty, Carry Glynn, is affectionately
described throughout- the United King-
dom. No wife is more watchful and de-
voted than she, and Mr. Gladstone has
made few political speeches in parlia—
ment when she has not eat in the gal-
lery, inspiring him with the knowledge
of her presence, and few public ad-
dresses outside the wallsof Westmin-
ster when she has not sat by his side,
either on the platform ' or on the
hustlngs. Indeed, upon one occasion.
when about 15 years ago he was called
upon to speak in the open air at Green-
wich to an excremely hostile audience,
she won the day for him by standing
throughout by his side, holding an um-
brella to shield his silvered locks from
the glare of the sun. Instead of the
hisses, the howls and even the missiles
that were anticipated from the mob.
there were cheers for the “Grand Old
.Couple” and for their “Grand Old
Gamp.”—Philadelphia Times.

 

 

Skating Suits.

Fashionable women have returned to
their love of skating, and some pretty
fur-trimmed costumes will be worn in
their rather exclusive rinks. These
differ little from the cloth tailor gowns
seen every day, but are slightly shorter
in the skirt, and not too wide. “Tell-
fitted jacket waists with fur vest ova
fur Eton jacket set on are prescribed
by tailors, while others wear the new
belted jackets of baby-lamb or of seal-
skin, with a. cloth skirt bordered nar-
rowly with the same fur. A bright
bit of color is liked for these cloth
frocks, as purplish-red, or leaf green,
or else golden-brown trimmed with

Capucine velvet or with glowing poppy‘

rod. Capes are not affected by skaters
while on the ice, though useful after-
ward to prevent chill. A small close
hat with soft puffed crown, or a genuine
turban of fur or of cloth or velvet is far
preferable to wider-brimmed hats for
skaters—Harper’s Bazar.

Borchgrevlnk, the Norwegian Explorer.

Borchgrevink is a. Norwegian, some
30 years of age, of medium height and
of modest mien, and has the typical
Scandinavian fairness of hair and flor-
idity of complexion. His face gives
signs of that determined spirit and
fixity of purpose which Norse explorers
have shown from the early vikings to
this latest voyager. His hardships, in-
cident to service before the mast in a
Whaler, were almost ignored, and he
dwelt on the Antarctic sea and its con-
ditions. The intelligent audience noted
his impersonal and retiring disposition,
and showed its own appreciation by
generous applause—Gen. A. W. Greely,
in Century.
