An article on the United States Patent

necessity for more expedition in the method
of securing patents on their inventions.
The first patent was granted in 1916 for an
improvement in scythes, and in 1890 0,6o2
patents were granted. There is full and
lucid explanation OF the methods to DE fol-
lowed for patenting, and this gives added
value to the article. \ well illustrated az

The recent death of Dr. Henry Schlie-

overflow of her income for years, cost

that she soon began to impress the i'm

my heart to do well: whatever | have
devoted myself to have devoted myself
to completely. In great aims and in
small | have always been thoroughly in
earnest. There is no substitute for thor
oughgoing, ardent and sincere earnest
ness. Never to put one hand to anything
on which | could throw my whole self,
and never to affect depreciation of my
work, whatever it was, | find now 30
have been my golden rules. David Con-
