There are rumors that the committee OF
investigation into the cause of the patent
Office fire incline to the opinion that the fire
was the work of an incendiary. Ali sorts of
sensational circumstances are said TO confirm
this theory. The only reasonable motive
which could be implied TO anybody for setting
it on fire would be to destroy evidences Of
fraud which may have been committed and
was likely to have been discovered, but the
circumstances all seem very remote, and to
those who know the construction ofthe bull
ding and are familiar with the very dangerous
and infammable nature of its con-
tents in the portion where the
fire originated, the wonder is not that the
patent Office was destroyed bu. that it was
not destroycd long ago
