American Inventive Progress.

Under the above heading the Scientific
Ame, lean of May 7th has long and inter-
esting article, from which we make the fol-
lowing extracts:
To show with what rapidity Inventors
made Improvements on inventions embody-
may be noted that in the early days Of the
sewing machine 116 patents were granted
for Improvements thereon in a single year;
and out of the 2 910 patents issued in the
year 1857, 152 were for improved cotton
gins and presses, 164 for Improvements on
the steam engine, and 1913 for novel devices
relating to railroads and Improvements in
the rolling stock. In the year 1848, three
years after the publication of this paper
was commenced, but 660 patents were
granted; but under the stimulus of pub
fishing those inventions as they were pat
ented, ten years later, in 1858, the number
had increased sixfold, reaching 3, ,710, while
up to January l, 1850, as already stated.
the aggregate of patents issued amounted TO
7,467; since that time and up to the pres
ent the total is 91,015.
And curiosity here leads US (adds the
editor) to review our own work, extending
back, say, twenty years, or to 1857, period
during which 170,745 patents have been
issued. We find, by actual count, that g..
062 applications have been made through
the Scientific American Patent Agency fol
Patents in the United States and abroad
This averages almost ten applications pei
, day, Sundays excluded, over the entire
period, and bears the relation of more thar
one quarter to the total number of patent
issued in this country up to the time o
writing.

Glass Works In HopeWelI Township.

There is fortune to be made and but
little capital required in Hopewell town
ship. Why do not two or three of our cit
liens who have the means form company
and put up glass,wor There ism, doubt
but that it will pay. The simple fact that
the material can be shipped from Chalf-
ants Station and Glenford to Column
bus, GAINESVILLE and other points, and a
large profit is then realized by the manu-
facturer is sufficient proof that il would be
one of the best investments that little
capital could be put into A glass works
need not cost fifteen or twenty thousand
dollars as some may suppose, but good
works can be put up for three thousand
dollars. We do not hesitate in saying that
three to four thousand dollars invested in
this enterprise will pay twenty-five per
cent on the investment. There are plenty
of men in Hopewell township who are
abundantly able to put up glass works
The citizens of Hopewell ought to form a
stock company and show to the world
the advantages they have for manufacturing
| glass ware After the first one is built and
the ware placed in the market, other works
will be compelled to go..where they can pro-
cure the material without paying freight.
