American Inventive Progress.

Under the above heading the Scien.
t!fc american Of May 18th has a long
and interesting article, from which we
make the following extracts:
To show with what rapidty inven-
tors made improvements on inven,
tons embcdying original principles,
says the writer, it may be noted that
in the early days OF the sewing ma
chine l]6 patents we're granted for
improvements thereon in single
year and out of the 1910 patents Is
sued in tie year 1857, 1872 were for
improved cotton-gins and presses, 164
for improvements on the steam EN-
CINE, and 1913 for novel devices relat-
ing to railroads and improvements in
the rolling stock. In the year lS4S,
three years after the publication of
this paper was commenced, but ego
patents were granted but under the
stimulus of publishing those inven.
tions as they were patented, ten years
later, in 1858, the number had in
creased skiold, reaching $40, while
up to January l, 1850, as already
stated, the aggregate Of patents is
sued amounted to 17,467 since that
time and up to the present the total is
1905.
And curiosity here leads us (adds
the editoD to review our own work,
extending back, say, twenty years, or
to 1857, period during which no.
745 patents have been issued. We
find, by actual count, that 62.o62 ap-
plications have been made through
the Scientific American Patent Agen-
cy for Patents in the United States
and abroad. This averages almost
ten applications per day, Sundays ex-
over the entire period, and
bears the relation of more than ole
quarter to the total number of patents
issued in this country up to the time
Of writing.
