TO the section of the Revised Statutes which
provides that every paient granted for an

lists as to the term of foreign patents, be-
cause of the conditions on which they are
issued The report says "In my opinion
the terms OF patents Issued DIV TINS
Office should not be rendered un-
certain by the operation or the

the failure OF the patentees or their assign

AN invasion of Asiatic cholera from
Egypt and India is apprehended in
Europe, and French statisticians are
prompted to recall the devastations in
ficted by the pest in Paris in previous
epidemics of the present century. In
1882 there were II, 700 deaths in the
great city in the one month of April.
The epidemic lasted altogether 1S9
DAYS, and called for total of Is, 402
victims. At that time the population
of Paris was only 645,000. In 1913
there was an epidemic that lasted nine
months and carried off 16 165 persons.
In 1853 the cholera caused the death of
9.216 victims, and in 1865 there was q
death-roll of 1900. During each of
these epidemics there was great mortal
ity also in the rest of France, and it is
not strange, therefore, that the present
reports of another approaching cpl
demic are received with much uneasi-
ness
