Progress OF Inventions Since rsAs.

In the year 1S45 the present owners
of the SCIENTIFIC AMERICAN newspaper
commenced its publication, and soon af-
ter established bureau for the pro-
curing of patents for inventions at home
and IN foreign countries. During the
year 1915 there were only SOP 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 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 402, l66 patents, aud about
one third more applications have been
made than have been granted, showing
ihe ingenuity OF our people to be phen-
omenal, and much greater than even
the enormous number of patents issued
indicates. Probably a good many of
onr readers have had business Transact
ed through the offices of the SCIENTIFIC
AMERICAN, in New York or Washington,
and are familiar with Mum & Co. &
mode OF doing business, but those who
have not will be interested in knowing
someth ,ng about this, the oldest patent
soliciting firm IN this country, probab'y y
in The world.
Persons visiting the Offices OF the
SCIENTIFIC AMERICAN, 36l Broadway,
n. v, for the first Tine, will be sur
prised, on entering the main office, TO
find such an extensive and elegantly
equipped establishment, with its wal
nut counters, desks, and chairs to cor
respond. and lis enormous safes, and
such large number of draughtsm en-,
specification writers. and clerks, all busy
as bees, reminding one of a large bank
ing or insurance office, with its hundred
employees.
In conversation with one of the firm,
who had commenced the business OF
soliciting patents III connection with tie
publication OF the SCIENTIFIC AMERICAN
more than forty years ago. | learned
that his firm had made application for
patents for upward of one hundred
thousand inventors in the United States
and several thousands in different for.
eign countries, and had filed as many
cases in the Patent Office in a single
/ month as there were patents issued
/ during the entire first year of their bus
mess career. This gentleman had seen
the Patent Oilice grow from IA sapling Il
a sturdy oak, and he modestly limited

formed no mean share in stimulating
inventions and advancing the Interests
of the Patent Office. But ii is not alone

taken back. The result was that about
a dozen old men went to work Monday
morning, giving the company its full
force and breaking the backbone of the
strike.

ROCHESTER, N. Y. April 9.-There
was more trouble yesterday than on any
day during the strike of the car drivers.
Hoodlums interfered on lines on which
there had before been no trouble. There
is also a deficiency in the police protee-
ton, SO that the car company did not
run as many cars as it claims to have
drivers for. In the afternoon five al
dermen called on the officers of the
a company and requested that they
hold a conference on the subject of the
strike with a committee of the men.
The company agreed to a conference
with the actual strikers, but stipulated
that the men discharged without cause
being assigned should not participate.
This the men refused to accede to, and
will hold no conference unless the dis
charged men are allowed to take part.
This is the status of affairs, and settle
ment seems as far off as ever. The
strikers are still determined and con-

The Sad Stories of Suffering that Come

SAN FRANCISCO, April Detailed
reports of the great famine in Shantung
and Manchuria, brought by the China
steamer, show that its horrors have not
been exaggerated. II is the worst fam
inc known in China for twelve years,
and the saddest feature of it is that in
many parts of these two provinces the
overflow of the Yellow river has ruined
the land, SO that no good crops can be
expected for several years. Letters
from American and English missionar-
les, who have been distributing food,
say that no more than 100. 600 can
lie reached by them, although fully
{, 1000, 900 are starving. Many of the
men abandoned their families after tho
flood, and the women and children have
nothing to live on. The missionaries
report that the spectacle of patient
suffering of these people is heartrend-
ing. One case is recorded of Il blind
woman who stranglea her little girl
rather thai SELL her or let her stalve,
while an old man of n, maddened by
hunger, sold his daughter-in-law for so.

The Rev. Frank Harmon, of the Eng
lish Baptist mission at Using Chou Flu,
writes:
This country is poor at its best, and
when the floods came every one who
was able emigrated to Kaan-Tung or
Shansl. Thousands remained, however,
and are furnishing here, within twenty
miles of the Hsien City. The Mi river
rose ten feet above the level of the bed,
washing away eight-tentbs of the
houses, destroying household goods and
stored grain, and in some places destroy
ing old people and children who were
unable to escape in the confusion and
darkness of the night. The river in re-
firing left behind heavy deposits Of
