government has an agency at Pepperell, Mass,
Tor the examination OF the government bank
note and bond paper. 1t became necessary TO
appoint ten on centers. The government already
had in its employ ten experts who could be de-

appointments came before Secretary Folger
for confirmation, and the latter notified Com

the proper conduct OF public business that ex-
perts should be put at this work, and he said il
would be necessary to detail the ten experts al
ready IN service for that work.

One Patent Must Cover But One Inven-
ton.
Following is the syllabus OF decision Az
nounced By the commissioner OF patents: "Ihe
statute contempIates that patent shall issue
for single invention, and a patent, to be val
i'd, Can only cover single invention. II sev-
eral distinct inventiUds, although relating to
the same subject, wero enc mbraced in the pa
tent, it would be invalid for that reason. 1t is
presumed when applicants file their applica-
tions for patents that they desire to obtain val
in patents. When, therefore, the Office directs
an applicant to divide his application because
more than one invention is therein embraced,
it is not for the purpose of requiring him to
conform to the Classification of the office, nor
because il will require more time to examine
the matters embraced in the application, but
because the patent can only cover a single ill.,
vention and be valid"
