1915.

In the year l845 the present owners OF the
SCIENTIFIC AMERICAN newspaper commenced
its publication, and soon after established a
bureau for the procuring OF patents for lnVen-
tions at home and in foreign countries. During
the year l845 there were only 5O2 patents issued
from the u. 3. 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 Sci
ENTIFIC AMERICAN there have been issued from
the U. S. Patent Office 4O2,166 patents, and
about one-third more applications have been
made than have been granted, showing the in.
genuity OF our people to be phenomenal, and
much greater than ever the enormous number
of patents issued indicates Probably good

The Report on the Bond Fraud.

The Picayune gives the following re-
sumo of the report of the Auditor and
Treasurer, made to the Governor, on the
recently discovered bond fraud
The report shows that new constitu
tional per cent bonds were printed to
the amount of S7,50O,0OO, of which
$67l 900 worth were properly signed
by the acting Governor and the Treas
urer, sealed with the State seal and
turned over to the Treasurer, 10 be
paid ont in exchange for whatever of
the old consolidated bonds might be
offered, in accordance with the funding
act of 1880. AS only S217 600 of these
constitutional bonds were ever legally
issued, a balance Of 1858, 400 of the
bonds remaine1 in the custody of
Treasurer Burke. AS these bonds arc
not in the treasury and were not turned
over to Treasurer Pipes when the treas.
ury was transferred, and as coupons
corresponding to the numbers of some
of these unissued bonds have been pre-
sented for payment, the Inference is
that n part of them at least has been
put in circulation, while the whole
amount has been illegally taken from
the custody of the State Of1ieials--that
is, have been stolen.
Prior to 1888 $500 900 of old consoli-
dated bonds were exchanged for the new
constitutional 4 per cents, and accord
ing to a process verbal these bonds were
properly destroyed. In 1883 $25, 200
more consolidated bonds came into the
treasury in exchange, and as coupons
of these bonds have been recently cash
ed by the State it is evident that they
have never been destroyed aud are ille-
gally in circulation. The Agricultural
and Mechanical College bonds held in
the State treasury, aggFegating S27e,
400. were declared nall and void By the
Constitution of 1879 aud were ordered
destroyed. As the 'g6npoDs of these
bopds have also been regularly paid OF
late years, it is evident that they were
not destroyed aud that the whole
amount is IN circulation. This amount
added to the S25 200 exchanged for new
bonda in 1883 aud reissued fraudulently
Aggregates total of $303, ,6G0 of illegal
con. .Alldated bonds that are known to
be 10 circulation
These facts being explained, the
amount of the fraud perpetrated upon
the State and people can be summarized
as follows:
Mechanical and Agricultural College
bonds Illegally issued. $278, 400
Consolidated bonds exchanged for
new bonds. ordered burned bur
frauduleptly reissued d--.-.-..-.. 25,20C
