The Inventive Talent of the Age.

In taking a review of the scientific and inventive
talent of the age exhibited by the list of patents
secured in the year 1885, some curious facts pre-
sent themselves. Although the necessities as well
as the excitement of the war have called the at
tention of many minds engaged in mechanical
pursuits to alterations and improvements in fire.
arms, and otherweapons of offence and defence,
it is evident that the greater portion of such talent
has been devoted to forward the arts of peace and
the progress of civilization. While we have sixty
eight patents for firearms, forty-one for improve
ments in gun carriages, and eleven for gunpowder
and other explosive compounds, there are no less
thao seventythree for steam engines, ffty-two for
boilers for steam engines seventy-one for improve
ments in the construction of railroads and ocomo-
tives, ffty-three for marine engnes-for screw and
padde-wheel propellers, and seventy-seven for ar
rangements for consuming or preventing smoke in
all descriptions of furnaces. The inventions and
improvements relative to textile manufactures
have been exceedingly numerous, as also have been
those Of looms and machinery for producing them
In sanitary affairs we find twenty-one patents for
soaps, thirtythree for taps and water conveyances
and thirty-tour for pipes, tiles, and bricks
Then we have for paper and pasteboard thirty
eight patents, for writing instruments thirty-six,
and for lithography forty-six; sewing machines
have been specified TO the number of twenty-one,
and novel arrangements Of motive power, or that
to be obtained from new sources, fifty -four; among
which we regret to find, an indication OF sad
amount of mechanical ignorance still existing
among us, several Of them are for perpetual mo-
ton Among those more particularly connected
with the mineral interests of the kingdom, we
have twenty-eight patents in the manufacture of
iron; coating metals, twenty-five; reducing ores,
twelve; foundery operations, ten rolling metals,
three steel manufacture, FIVE; gold, silver, zinc,
brass, alloys, &c, five; saving, planning, and bor-
ing metals DC, forty-fonr; punching stamping,
&C., twenty; and in chains, nails, screws, bolts,
hles, and numerous other metal manufactures. IN
cluding blowing machines and blast furnace ar
rangements, we have nearly a hundred and twenty
patents. These facts are Of highly interesting
character, showing that while Britons can stand n5
in just cause for the defence Of truth and right
they can also devote themselves, heart and purse
TO the advancement of science and art--Aining
