A big lick for prohibition was that c

A big lick for prohibition was that oil
last Sunday at Cincinnati, Ohio, where
about $50 of the can t-enforce-the-law yell
lers we're placed behind the bars for vio-
lation of the ordinance closing saloons on
Sunday. From published report given
in last Mondays papers, it appears that
all of these were Germans and chiefly of
from ''oyer the Rhine neighhorhood, a
disreputable section Of the city. The ac-
count says:
1.-THE most obstinate man, and one who
gave the police great deal OF trouble,
Anarchist Warfiinger, who keeps resort
at Thirteenth and Walnut streets. known
as Dynamite Hail." His place is the re-
sort of the Anarchists and Socialists OF
Cincinnati and he has persistently refused
to close ON Sunday. Warflinger was ar
rested three times inside of as many hours
After his third arrest Warilinger's bonds
man told him that he wouldn't sign again,
and the red flag champion was constrained
TO close or run the risk of spending the
night in cell.
ssThe question OF whether the Sunday
closing law is to be obeyed in Cincinnati
or not is becoming of universal interest.
People are taking one side or the other,
but to the credit of the city be it said that
the great majority, even of the saloon
keepers, is in favor of the strict enforce
ment of the law. and the greatest indigna-
ton exists on account of the riotons pro-
ceeding OF the hoodums."
The Monitor. [volume] (Woodstown, N.J.) 1884-1892, 1889-08-02
Progress of inventions since Is4s.

In the year 1916 the present owners of
the Scientific american newspaper com.
menced its publication, and soon after os-
tablished bureau for the procuring of
patents for inventions at home and in for
eign countries. During the year 1915 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 406. 4l3, showing that
since the commencement of the publication
of the Scientific american there have been
issued from the U. S. Patent Office 400, 1GG
patents, and about one-third more applica-
tons have been made than have been grant
ed, showing the ingenuity of our people to
be phenomenal, and much greater than
even the enormous number of patents is
sued indicates. Probably good many of
our readers have had business transacted
through the offices of the Scientific An,ers-
can, in New York or Washington, and are
familiar with Mum 81 Co. IS mode of doing
business, but those who have not will be
interested in knowing something about
this, the Oldest patent soliciting firm in this
country, probably in the world.
Persons visiting the offices Of the Scien-
titic american, 361 Broadway, N. Y, for
the'frs time will be surprised, on entering
the main Office, to find such an extensive
and elegantly equipped establishment, with
its walnut counters, desks, and chairs to cor
respond, and its enormous safes, and such
large number of draughtsmen, specifica-
ola rkS al
reminding one of a large banking or insu-
rance Office, with its hundred employees.
In conversation with one of the firm,
who had commenced the business Of solicit
ing patents in connection with the publica-
ton of The Scientific american, more than
forty years ago, learned that this firm had
made application for patents for upward of
one hundred thousand inventors in the
United States, and several thousands in
different foreign countries, and had filed as
many cases in the Patent Office in single
month as there were patents issued during
the entire first year of their business ca
! reer. This gentleman had seen the Patent
Office grow from sapling to sturdy oak,
and he modestly limited that many thought
the Scientific american, with it's large cir
culation, had performed no mean share in
stimulating inventions and advancing tho
interests of the Patent Office. But it is not
alone the patent soliciting that occupies the
attention of the one hundred persons en-
ployed by Mum g. Co., but large number
are engaged on the four publications issued
weekly and monthly from their Office, 361
Broadway, N. Y, viz: The Scientific
american, the Scientific american Supple
ment, the Export Edition of the Scientific
american, and the Architects and Builders
Edition of the Scientific american. The
first two publications are issued every week,
and the latter two, the first OF every
month.
