' Men and \Vomen of the Nutmeg State Are All Handy \Vith the Jack Knife and Bristle With Original Ideas. They Whistle and \Vhittle. The inventiveness of Connecticut Yan- kees is unparalleled. Every year they grow more inventive. A good proportion of the population of the State are inven- tors and patentees. Their business in life is to invent things and take out patents for them. Lots of the women of the State are patent hold- ers, and the patents are for their own in« ventions, too. In looking over last year’s report of the Commissioner of Patents we have noticed ,that Connecticut yet stands the first among the inventive States of the Union. Why, the patents taken out in that year by the inventors of the Nutmeg State numbered one for every 903 of the State’s inhabitants. This was for a. single year, mind you; and so, if we add to the paten- tees of that year those of the previous 20 or 30 years we shall be brought to the conclusion that most of the adult Yan- kees of Connecticut must be patentees. But the number of inventors is far greater than that of patentees; for many a Connecticut inventor could not get a patent last year. The Commissioner of Patents at Washington ascertained by inspection of the inventions sent him from Connecticut that plenty of them werenot, in his opinion, deserving of a patent. _ Some of them were worthless or unim- portant or not brand new, or infringed upon patent rights already in existence. Let us, however, count all these unsuc- cessful applicants for patents as actual inventors, or, at least, men and women of inventive mind, and we shall see that there cannot be room in the State for many inhabitants other than them and the patentees. There is no other State of which this can be said. It seems that there are cases iu'Con- necticut in which a. man patentee is mar- i‘ied to a woman patentee. ' We have heard of a case in which not only the usband and the wife but also two of their children were patentees. They are both aged and youthful patentees in the State. If an iiiventor be black his or her color is no bar to an American patent. It is a. curious fact that the proportion of patentees in Connecticut is far greater than that in either of the two populous States by which it is bounded. \Vhy is it that Connecticut stands away ahead of New York and Massachusetts at the Patent Office? —-—g—- - Advertise in the Gsznrra.
