REWARDS OF MECHANICAL sGESiGs.--~Not-
withstaading the stale complaint that mechan-
ical GENTS has to struggle against prejudice,
and often dies poor and neglected, the inven-
ton which is really practical and valuable ap4
pears to be very handsomely paid for. The
profits ofsome patents for mechanical inventions
in use in this country are enormous. The
Scientific American enumerates few. The
right to portion of Wards patent shingle
machine was recently sold in Albany for $780,
COO. A portion Of Robertson's sewing machine
has also been sold for $4,000. This is an in
vention which can be carried in the pocket,
and will enable a seamtress to do in one day
the ordinary labor Of a week. Machines o.
this kind are about to be constructed in New
Haven, Conn.,, by the Messrs. Jerome, at S 10 a
piece; the manufacturers are now constructing
the machinery, and expect to sell orders in
January. Howe's patent sewing machine
yields, it is said, $4,000 for licenses to use
it, and Singers machine puts $4,000 into the
pockets of the owne.e. Rights to the use of a
corn planter have been sold to the amount Of
$4,000 yClark,s patent pump sold for $780,
600. A portion ofthe right to an apple pairing
machine, So, 900. Creaner's patent car brake,
100000. Such rewards as these are certainly
stimulating to mechanical genius, and the only
