An Inventor,


II is proverbial that discoveries OF
valuable inventions rarely reap the prof
its Of their own genius, and there came
near being forcible illustration Of the
rule in this city the other day. Some
six months AGO Il humble electrician in
this city devised Il couple Of chemical
batteries which, he claimed, were SUI
pcrlor and cheaper than anything which
had been heretofore produced in the
electrician branch Of science. One Of
them was Il gravity battery, with
closed circuit, calculated to work all
kinds Of telegraph lines, fire alarms in
cluded; and the other was carbon bat
terry, intended for railroads and other
signals, annunciatOrs, telephones, cleo
tric gas-lighting, etc. The attention Of
the Western Union officials in NewYork
was called to both inventions after they
had been duly patented, but they treat
eel them with apparent indifference. In
the meantime the inventor formed the
acquaintance of weil-known eX-city
official, who in turn, consulted prom
inent lawyer and expert in electrical
matters concerning the inventions.
They realized at once that the discovery
was a valuable one, and Immediately q
small company was organized for the
manufacture Of the batteries. The grav-
ity battery was discovered to be so SUI
perior and economical that it was imme-
diat"ly adopted, to the almost total ex-
cluSion Of other, by the fire departments
OF Boston, Somerville, Maiden. Med
ford, Lynn and Providence, and il is
also undergoing satisfactory expert
ments in New York and other cities
Furthermore, during the same period it
was tested for general telcgraphing pur-
poses, and found to be 50 superior in
a working aud saving sense that the
Western Union Telegraph company
suddenly began to take not only lively
interest in the matter, but undertook 10
buy out the whole company. The car
bon battery had in the meantime been
successfully developed and adopted for
signaling purposes on many OF the lead
ing railroads of the country, and by one
of the leading electrical gas-lichting
companies. Withoutrealizing the value
Of his discoveries, the inventor came
near selling them out to the Western
Union, and if the company had been
successful in its negotiations it would
have secured in the gravity battery, for
a mere song, an invention which an ex.
pert electrician has estimated would be
a saving on battery account of nearly
Sl,O00,0O0 year, Pending the consid-
GRAFTON of terms the telegraph company
is using the battery in an experimental
way in New York, and the discovercr is
dreaming of palaces and marble halls.

BALTIMORE, February 22.-Judges Bond
and Morris, in the United States Circuit
Court in this city, yesterday decided q
question Of great interest 10 dramatic au-
thors and composers, and all persons en-
gagged in the production and representation
Of operas and plays which are not protected
by the law Of copyright. The case arose
In regard to Gilbert and. sulliyan's latest
opera, "Iolanthe," which Mr.. R.fD'0yley
Carte claimed to have the exclusive right TO
perform in this country by virtue OF his
possession Of the composers unpublished
orchestral score. The principle involved
would extend, however, to the case OF any
uncopyrighted dramatic or must.
cal work. The decision Of the
court was in effect that the author
rized publication OF the llbretto and OF the
music OF the opera, arranged for the piano,
was Il dedication OF both 10 the public, and
was inconsistent with any such exclusive
right as was asserted by Mr.. Carte, it being
admitted that from the published piano
forte and vocal score any competent must.
clan could by his wi skill arrange the
music for an orchestra or band. 1t is be.
lieved that the opinion Of the court, which
lisa careful and learned discussion OF the
whole law OF the case, will go far towards
quietipg any further controversies upon the
subject, and that both authors and mana
gers will have q better understanding here
after Of their respective rights in the mat.
