The Protection of Inventors,

One of the most interesting charities that
has come to our notice for some time is the one
organized, aud soon to be in full operation,
by number of ladies, representing most OF
our states, for the protection and promotion of
inventors, II Is the purpose of this association
to cover this charity In all Its completeness by
taking out the patents and supplying tho
necessary drawings and models free OF all
charge, thus enabling the inventor to reap the
benefit from his genius that 1t deserves, and
not allowing the whole interest, no matter
how valuable the patent, TO be absorbed by
some shark for the sake of the few dollars
necessary 10 secure IL from the government.
This Is, indeed, a noble charity, and ono that
has too long been neglected, and we are glad
10 see that IL Is Endorsed by the best names in
our country's history. IL ever n class needed
help 1t is that of inventors and so far they
have been neglected.
Many of the inventions to which we are most
indebted for our comfort and the advancement
of civilization have been of no benefit TO the
inventors. Some have died in misery, leaving
their families destitute, whose inventions to-
day are rolling up millions Tor those who took
advantage of q starving man or woman,
and got possession of their invention for the
ADVANCE of a few dollars necessary to secure
the patent. Such an ENTERPRISE should surely
have the help 1t calls for. Miss Florida Gun
ingham, of this city, has been invited to go on
to New York. where the association has its
headquarters, and act as secretary,
A list of the patrons and subscribers will
shortly be published. This association has
been endowed with two patents that promise
to be Of value TO the fund.
