'.Do inventors generally make money
out of patentsp" / asked gentleman
connected with the Patent Office the
other day.
mo, as rule the money is made by
people who buy or swindle the inventors
out of their rights. Inventors are
nearly always poor men. They work
their brains for their bread and butter.
They are visionary set of fellows, and
have not the money-making sense.
They get in with business men in order
to develop their patents, and these
eucher them out of the profits. The
man who invented the elevated railroad
in New York died a poor man, and
while he was alive the people laughed
at his idea. 1t is so with hundreds OF
other patents, and if you will look over
the history of the Patent Office you
will find it is the business men who
make the money, while the inventors do
the work. Some patent lawyers make
a great deal of money, and there are a
number in Washington who have grown
wealthy in the practice. There is a
man here named Pollock who has made
fortune in the patent law. He had

DIR. G. H. Brandt writes concercing a
visit he paid to Pasteur: Nothing can
exceed the politeness and kindness OF
M. Pasteur in explaining and answering
our numerous questions. He is COM
pletely wrapped up in his subject, and,
contrary to what has been limited by
some authors, keeps nothing hidden
from any one. He generally finishes by
saying: Gentlemen, l have told you
everything l know, you have seen all |
do, and now you know as much as lido, ;

was shown him in which there was a
paragraph which said: 'We can place

many cases of rabies appear many
months-eighteen, twenty and even
twenty-four-aft the bite of mad
dog To this NJ. Pasteur answers:
This is not good reasoning, for statis-
tics show that the great majority of
cases have an incubation period of from
twenty to sixty days. Cases of rabies
happening before the twentieth day
are very rare, and those after the
sixtieth day are still more rare,
so that our treatment includes
the majority of cases. Six months have
elapsed since young Meister was bitten
| by a mad dog and treated by my system;
| he is alive and well. So that it is moi
| fair to condemn treatment because
| time has not allowed the extremely
rare cases of long incubation to show
| the result of our treatment. Statistics
also show that there are about fifteen
cases annually of hydrophobia admitted
into the Paris hospitals, followed by
fifteen deaths. Since we have begun
our treatment there has been only one
case admitted; this case was not inocul
| ated, and death was the result To tht
unbelievers M. Pasteur says; Wait

with this question; and it is only by con
! tinued experiments and constant
| observations. carried on for consider
able time on hundreds of cases, that We
shall be able to arrive at positive an6
definite results. 1t is satisfactory tt

Not Ruined by a Party.

We have always held that one good
result of the last national election
would be the dissipation of the fear
that Democratic Administration
would bring some sort of disaster upon
the country. Some of our Republican
friends in the Presidential campaign
indulged in the widest forebodings
about the probable effect on business.
Even the Republican candidate for
President, well known as business
man, expressed grave apprehensions.
Some of our esteemed contemporaries
really seemed to suffer anguish on ac-
count of their fears.

Making a Navy.

It is evident from the way in which
the Secretary has addressed himself to
his duties that he means to inaugurate
a naval establishment worthy of the
United States. He believes and says,
and such is the opinion of all informed
and just men, that the naval
service should be considered quite
apart from the naval administration.
The naval service, the personnel of the
navy, is in the main composed, to use
his own words, "of body of accom-
plished men, representing a high, So
cial standard of personal character,
who are deservedly respected and hon
ored throughout the world.' Contin-
uing his own language: "This, unfort-
unately, can not be said with equal
Justice of the Navy Department, and
whatever dissatisfaction the country
has ever experienced with the naval
arm of our Government will be found to
have had its origin, not in the naval serv-
ice, but in the naval administration,
and even there dissatisfaction should be
limited to certain branches only of the
business of the department. The plan
of business reorganization which he
outlined in his annual report has busi-
ness principles of directness, economy
and practicability on it's side. 1t has
commanded the appreciation of thought
full men everywhere. The evils and
blunders of the present NAL system he
laid bare with an unsparing hand; but
he was careful to discriminate between
the blame due to faulty methods and
the consideration to be extended to
honorable men who were at the mercy
of such methods. The large discretion
of power given him under the law is to
be used by the Secretary in the direc-
ton of business-like reconstruction of
the department. titself.-Brooktyn Eagle.
AS Mr.. Edmunds compares 1886
