A Question of Law.

A perplexing question often arises
under the patent laws: Suppose work
man in the employ of some large estab-
lishment invents a valuable improve
ment in the machinery or processes;
does the patent for it belong to him or
his employersa They always say that
they were paying him for his time, and
are entitled to whatever he accomplishes.
He argues that inventing is matter
quite outside the duty for which he was
hired. For example, a pillow manufac-
turing company in Indiana employed 4
superintendent of their business, and he,
during his engagement, took out a pat
ent for the improvements he made in
the plows they were selling. They sued
him, claiming that he should transfer
the patent to them, for they said that
they were led to engage him by his as
surance that he had large experience in
making and selling plows and devising
Improvements, and that be would de-
vote his time and services to manufac-
turing and perfecting their plows; also,
that the Improvement he had patented
was made partly by aid of suggestions
from other employees and with materi-
ais belonging to the company. The
Judge said these facts were not enough
to make out their case. Persons are
not deprived of the right to the inven-
tons they make while in the service of
others. unless they have been hired and
paid to exercise their inventive facul-
ties for their employers. A contract for
the time, labor and skill of an employe
in manufacturing and selling does not
give the employer the right to an i'm
provement which the employee invents.
II in this case the superintendent was
materially aided by suggestions from
other persons, he was not sole inventor,
and perhaps his coadjutors were entitled
to share in the patent, but the fact
would not give the employer arightto it.

connection illustrations were drawn from

more than they.

Work of a War Oorrespondent.

War correspondents lead exciting and
adventurous lives They can never be
certain of peaceful half-hour at home,
and when one campaign is ended may
at any moment expect to be dispatched
to share the trials Of another. Nor is it
only that they are continually on the

they must be prepared to face danger.

than all, they must. If they would give
loyal service to the journals they repre-

boundless energy and powers Of endur-

disappointed. He found himself on the
spot to accompany the cavalry through
all their movements on that arduous
day, and rode with them in their flank
march which so completely decided the
fight. Having witnessed the charge of
the Household cavalry and its success
full results, he knew that the worst was
over, and that it was now his business
to get the good news home. He had
been In the saddle the whole of trying
tropical day; it was now night, and "a
miles of trackless desert interposed be-
tween him and Ismailia, the point from
which he could best telegraph to Eng
