a financial policy which, II strictly ad.

AMERICAN INVENTIVE PROGRESS. -
Under the above heading the Scien-
tifc american of May 7th has long
and interesting article, from which
we make the following extracts.
To show with what Iapidity in
ventors make improvements on in
ventions embodying original princi-
pals, says the writer, it may be noted
that in the early days Of the Sc" ing
machine ll6 patents were granted
for improvements thereon in single
year and out Of the 1910 patents
issued in the year 1857, 152 were foi
improved cotton-gins aud presses
l6l for improvements on the steam
engine, and 1913 for novel devices re.
latins to railroads and Improves
ments in the rolling stock. In the
year 1913, three years after the pub,
lication of this paper was commenc-
ed, but 660 patents were granted ;
bat under the stimulus of publish
ing those inventions as they were
patened, ten years later, in 1853, the
number had increased skiold, reach
ing $40, while up to January lst,
1850, as already stated, the aggre-
gate of patents issued amounted to
17.467 since that time and up to
the present the total is 18l,ol5
And curiosity here leads us adds
lhe editor) to review our own work,
extending back, say, twenty years,
or to 1857, a period during which
l70,7i5 patents have been issued.
We fnd, by actual count, that 81, O62
applications have been made through
t b O Scientific American Patent
Agency for Patents in the United
States aud abroad. This averages
almost ten applications per day
SUNDAYS excluded, over the entire
period, and bears the relation Of more
than one quarter to the total num-
her of patents Issued in this country
up to the time of writing.

the Board, after an intelligent, fair and

forced to conclude that co. education is
not advisable from physiological causes.
"As regards intellectual capacity, rs

with young men" the Board say, "they
sustained the tests in scholarship quite
as we'll" but they were deeply i'm
pressed with the evidences OF i'll health
which most of the female students pre-
sented. After full investigation of the
whole subject the Board arrived at the
conclusion that the disadvantages which
the young women labor under IS
due to physiological causes. Nature

Consequently, to keep her class stsndlng'
the girl must work harder 10 accomplish
