HINTS TO INVENTORS.
What "a Man of Experience Has to ss
About Inventions In General.

What "a Man of Experience Has to say
About Inventions In General
This is Che counsel that an old and
somewhat successful inventor gave me
to-day: "My advice to everybody, he
said, 'fs TO have nothing to do with In
venting. 1t is more absorbing. dissi'
pating and Disappointing than gambling
Not one in one thousand inventions are
new and useful, and not one in one
thousand that are new and useful are
ever introduced. The Patent Once
contains million splendid devices tha'
have never been put on the market H.
however, you are bent on inventlhg
something, then have some additional
advice. Don't waste your time anu
thoughts on devices that are merely
ornamental or luxurious The only IN
vention that is profitable is money
saving device, and if you find thN
your mind is running on any thing
else. drop it. Don't be afralo
too soon that somebody will steal your
invention, for as a general thing you,
invention is of no earthly account, ana
people would no more steal it than they
would steal the smallpox. Don'twork
too long on an idea until you nave
learned the state of the art. The prop
ability is that your machine was patent
ed sixty years ago, and was found TO pe
worthless. If you really hit upon some
thing good do not file caveat W ash'
ington is full Of sharks who watch tht
caveat record for good inventions, ane
who, as soon as they find one, lmmcuf
ately set to work to prove a prior lnven,
ton. Finally, never have partner ID
your invention. A partner can max.
ruinous contracts, or assign your patenll
With your knowledge or consent ane
you can't help yourself except 5y end
less and costly litigation. Goodbye

Tobacco Crop Damaged by Frost.

LOUISVILLE, Ky., Oct. 4.-Frosts are
reported from all over the State. About
half of the tobacco crop Is uncut, and so
much has been injured that one-half 10
quarters of It will make only
frosted lugs. Tobacco In lowlands is
much damaged, while that on the up,
lands Is little hurt. An experienced
broker and handler thinks Friday nights
frost will much impair the quality, bul
not reduce the quantity OF the crop. Re.
ports from the famous Flat Lick section,
noted for dark, rich tobacco, are bad.
Estimates rs to the extent OF the loss
vary wildly, but all agree that the dam.
age Is serious.
