PROGRESS OF INVENTIONS
Since 1915.

In the year I845 the owners of
the Scientific American newspaper
commenced its publication, and
soon after established bureau for
the procuring of patents for inven-
tons at home and in foreign coun-
tries. During the year I845 there
were only 5o2 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 4o6,4I3.
Showing that since the commence
ment Of the publication of the
Scientific American there have
been issued from the u. S. Patent
Office 4O2,I66 patents, and about
one third more applications have
been made than have been granted
showing the ingenuity of our peo-
pie to be phenomenal, and much
greater than even the enormous
number of patents issued indicates.
Probably a good many of our
readers have had business trans
acted through the offices of the
Scientific American, in New York
or Washington, and are familiar
with Mum & Co.'S 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 Scientific American, 36I
Broadway, n. Y, for the first
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
correspond, and its enormous
safes, and such large number Of
draughtmen, specification writer's,
and clerks, all busy as bees,
reminding one of large banking
or insurance office, with its hun
dred employees.
In conversation with one of the
firm. who had commenced the
business of soliciting patents in
connection with the publication of
the Scientific American, more than
forty years ago, learned that his
firm had made application for
patents for upwards of one hun
dred thousand inventors in the
United States, and several thous-
and 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 bust
ness career. This gentlemen had
seen the Patent Office grow from
a sapling to a sturdy oak, and he
modestly limited that many
thought the Scientific American,
with its large circulation, had
performed no mean share in slim
ulating inventions and advancing
the interests Of the Patent Office.
But it is not alone the patent solic-
ting that occupies the attention of
the one hundred persons employ

Senator Blair who took an active
part in the late campaign in Vir-
ginia, and who was undoubtedly
in position to form an intelligent
opinion, says that he knows that
there were enough republican
votes cast to have elected Malone
by a substantial majority, but the
counting being entirely in the
hands of the democrats they
counted him out. Mr.. Blair fur
Their says that this election will
make many new friends in Con-
gress for a new and stringent
federal election law.

The recent elections have largely
caused number of republican
congressman, who had been ION
the fence" to declare themselves
in favor of repeating the civil
service law.
Secretary Window has at last
succeeded in finding man whom
he thinks suited to be commission
er of navigation, and the Presi-
dent has appointed him. The
fortunate gentleman is w. w.
Bates, of New York.
Postmaster general Wanamaker
has received a letter from the
postmaster at Louisa, Kentucky,
stating that the democrats of his
neighborhood blew up his office
with dynamite to celebrate the
Ohio victory. The matter will be
investigated by postoffice officials.
1t is stated in Washington on
what appeared to be good author
ity, that the appointment to the
vacancy on the bench of the
Supreme Court will not be made
until January. From the same
source comes the statement that
the President has definitely decid-
ed not to appoint Attorney
General Miller to the position.
That Senator Allison escaped
the democratic landslide in Iowa,
is a matter of thankfulness to
every republican in the United
States. His absence from the
floor of the Senate would be an
irreparable loss to the party as
we'll as to the country. AS an all
around statesman Senator Allison
has few equals, and few superiors.
The Presidents proclamation
admitting Montana as a state was
issued Friday morning. Wash
ington will be admitted as soon as
the proper returns from her recent
election are received by the Presi-
dent. One set of returns were
received by special messenger last
week, but they contained an error,
and new set was telegraphed for.
Ohio democrats are already
boldly making their brags about
the way in which they are going
to out up the congressional dis
tricts of that state in order to have
at least fifteen democratic Rep
resentatives elected to the fifty
second congress. McKinley's
district is to be made hopelessly
democratic. They want to get
him out of the House because of
his tariff views.

The President has been very
deeply interested in the election
returns and he is still figuring up
cause and effect. He recognizes
the fact that the republican party
has lost a battle, and is more than
anxious to have the blame put
just where it belongs, even if he
shall have to shoulder a part of
the burden. Republicans arriving
here from the lost states meet
with a cordial reception at the
White House and the various
causes assigned for the defeat are
carefully listened to by President
Harrison, even though some of
