Progress of Inventions Since 1845.

In the year 1915 the present owners
of the Scientific American newspaper
commenced its publication, and soon
after established a bureau for the pro-
curing Of patents for inventions at
home and in foreign countries. Dur
ing the year 1S45 there were only 500
patents issued from the U. S. Patent
Office, and the total issue from the
establishment of the Patent Office, up
to the end of that year, numbered
only 4,347.
Up to the first of July this year
there have been granted 409,416.
Showing that since the commence
ment Of the publication of the Scien-
titic American there have been issued
from the U. S. Patent Office
4O2, 1855 patents, and about one
third more applications have been
made than have been granted, show
ing the ingenuity of our people to be
phenomenal, and much greater than
even the enormous number of patents
issued indicates. Probably a good

Persons visiting the Offices of the

N. Y, for the first time will be sur
prised, on entering the main Office,
to find such an extensive and ele-
gantly equipped establishment, with
its walnut counters, desks, and chairs
to correspond, and its enormous safes,
and such large number of draughts-
men, specification writers, and clerks,
all busy as bees, reminding one of q
large banking or insurance Office, with
its hundred employees.
In conversation with one of the
firm, who had commenced the bust
ness of soliciting patents in connec'
ton with the publication of the Scien.
tiic American more than forty years
ago, / learned that his firm had made
application for patents for upwards o.
one hundred thousand inventors in
the United States, and several thou
sands in different foreign countries
and had filed as many cases in thu
Patent Office in single month al
there were patents issued during thu
entire first year of their business
career. This gentleman had seen tn,

a sturdy oak, and he modestly hinte(
that many thought the Scientific

, that occupies the attention of the on

causes painful running sores on the arms,

The Boston journal well says; Me-
mortal Day, with its sad andyet peculiar =

have robbed July Fourth of some OF It's
old pre-eminence, but the Fourth still
stands as emphatically the nations holt
day, and is annually observed In city
and country alike with no great depart
ure from the good old traditions. II
there is somewhat more seriousness
about the day than there used to be
it is because American life is more seri
GUS than it was generation or two ago
and American citizenship implies gIavel
responsibilities. These responsibilities
are apt to come home to reflective peo'
pie with great deal more force on the
anniversary of the Nations birth than
on any other day in the entire twelve
months. But it is fortunate circum
stance that the Fourth is still the Glori
GUS Fourth, and that its observance II
still accompanied by so much of the ole
familiar noise, and heartfelt, whole soul
ed gaiety.
