 was filed in 1877.
 Edison, owing 10 the intervention oi other aspirations covering the same invention, had his pltents delayed. The
 last obstacle to the issuance of these
 patents was the Berliner application
 upon which "a patent was issued last

 a foreign patent issued after applica-
 tion for an American patent had been
 filed, should date prior to the date of the
 grant Cf foreign patent. The question
 will, It is thought, be brought before
 the United States supreme court, judges
 having decided 1t in the negative.
