Women. Work in science.

The steady increase of patents granted
TO women since scientific studies have
been opened to them explains in part
why inventions by that sex have been
heretofore so rare A list recently pub
lished gives the number of patents
granted to women inventors by the
United States Government from the
year 1890 TO July /, 1883. as 2,3O0 After
1909 TO 1915 only one patent was issued.
From 1857 the number of women i'm
ventors increased rapidly. In 1870 the
number was 60; in 1887 the number
reached 179. II last years list were
published it would probably show a still
more rapid advance. And these inven-
tions take a wide range, from mere
household and dress inventions to rail-
road journal boxes and submarine tele-
scopes. In addition to the better scope
and invitation for inventive genius
which wider knowledge gives. the more
independent position of women now re-
quires less moral courage on their part
to apply for patents than would have
been necessary at an earlier period. =

A Detroiter who returned from Buffalo
the other day decided TO walk to his
home on Adams avenue. After getting
up to Fort street he discovered that he
was being followed by an old woman
with a valise. He made two or three
turns, and as she continued to follow,
and at the same time appeared to be a
stranger to the route, he halted and
asked:
Madam, can assist you?"
Not as / knows of. she replied.
But you seemed TO be following me.
swell, when / got off the train the
conductor told me to follow the crowd
and I'd be all right, and so l took after
you. Hope you'll slack up little after
this. for I'm almost out of breath.

Of her existence Whether this was the
result Of her unusual vigor is not re-
corded. In the days Of her prosperity
and success she developed considerable
ability in the medical line and gave 70
the world the distinguished physician
Galenus: For some time after the fall
of Rome the treatment OF disease was
chiefly in the hands of monks. In con-
nection with the monastery there were
frequently the well managed hospital
and garden filled with plants noted for
their healing virtues.
The Arabs of the Middle Ages vert
devoted students of science and particu
larly of medicine. When they came il
contact with Christendom they made
two important contributions. They gav'
to the church the writings Of Aristotle
which, in the hands of st. Thomas Aqui
mas, saved the church from crude ma
terialism
They gave to the medical world tn
