The patentees, makers, and users
Of new furnaces and furnace feeders,
have had a dynamite cartridge exploit
ed in their midst this week. which
has caused 40 small commotion, not
uniinged however, with amusement,
the Effects of he explosion having
reached from one end of the colony
to the other, and created II large band
of brethren in misfortune, whose dis
position somehow seems to be laugh
at. and with, each other, over the
common trouble. For at least two
wears we have been a most gO-ahead
colony in the matte Of patent furnaces
for burni 10 megass, NosoOner had one
patentee started "a furnace or a patent
feeder lliam another man came for
ward with another and more
improved furnace and patent ferder,
followed by IA third, and then others,
each one cniming his special inven-
ti"n to be- The genuine eurrk". All
the patents have not been registered,
the conviction of some If the paten-
te = being that the profit that would
accrue Oh their own estate by the use
of the tueI saving furnace would be
reward enough tor their discovery.
We should say that one.halt of the
states in the colony have within the
last two years experimental IN fur
mace improvements, and that a lpr%e
percentage of them have adopt d
some more or less modified form of
feeding their furnace with wet me-
lass, through d hopper or feeder by
which the air could be PXclud d,
while the process OF iring-up could
go on without interruption. The ques-

era into the field. But although
there were disputes regarding the
merits of the several inventions, there
was no disputing that they were in
%ventions pure and simple, patented
and protected beyond the reach of
cavil or the breath Of suspicion. And
tins being the excellent repu'o in
which they were held, the explosion
TO which we alluded in our opening
sentence has created an excitement
all the more intense. For who could
have thought that that little known
pntentee Of furnaces, who lives in
Martinique, VI. Marie by name, would
dare to call in question the legality
of the several patents, and the right
Of the foumdries to make them, and Of
tie estates TO use them. Marie, it
was known, had Invented a furnace
and had registered his patent in this
colony, but il WAS never contemplate
ed that the new and improved patents
which had blOsSomed imO birth after
his, could be regarded rs infringe
ments m his rights. His silence in
the meantime gave confirmation to
thus belief; and the Marie furnace, al
though il was tried on one estate in
this colony, with, we believe, only ~
very limited success, was eve taken
in consideration when crack furnaces
were brought under discussion. The
surprise then can be imagined which
fell this week upon the parties con
cerned, when they received a letter
from NJ. Marie's lawyer instructed by
his local representatives. the Colonial
Company, Limited, intima'ing that
they were infringing upon his patent
rights, and what the result wonld be
if their colours were not hauled down
at once and anuncondilionaI surrender
made. Patentees, makers, USERS
all have been served with a notice,
and as the fist shot has been fired,
the decks are being cleared for action.
We need lot say that local talent is
determined to make n stand for its
reputation and at least Que pa
tertee has referred NJ. Marie, in the
briofest language, TO his legal remedy.
AMONGST the estates 10 which the
Frenchmnn has sent his cha llpnge is
Enmore, whore % hopper furnace tor
burning megaSs has been in use for
over Is years, long before NJ. Marie
entered the world of patcntees. If
the Enmore people had patented their
furnace when they commenced to use
it, they might have tnrned his own
guns upon NJ. Marie and threatened
him with prosecution for thus trench
ing upon their patent rights. Others
who have been served with notice, be-
sides Enmore, will we venture to
say make a good fight; but at this
earlystage of the engagement itwouId

present further evidence, if found
necessary or desirable.
General Boynton, took the stand,
and sai1 his fret knowledge of the

han. During the last session of
