NOT so HARD AS IT SEEMS,

A patent strikes most people as an appall
ingly formidable thing. The idea is that an
inventor must be natural genius, like Edi
son or Bel; that he must devote years to
delving in complicated mechanical problems
aud that he must spent a fortune on delicate
experiments before he can get new device to
a patentable degree of perfection. This delu-
sion the company desires to dispel. 1t desires
to get into the head of the public clear COM
prehension of the fact that it is not the great,
complex, and expensive inventions that bring
the best returns to their authors, out the lit
tie, simple, and cheap ones-the things that
seem so absurdly trivial that the average citi-
zen would feel somewhat ashamed of bringing
them to the attention of the Patent Office.
Edison says that the profits he has received
from the patents on all his marvellous inven-
tons have not been sufficient to pay the cost
OF his experiments. But the man who con-
ceived the idea of fastning a bit of rubber
cord to a child's ball, so that it would come
back TO the hand when thrown, made fortune
out of his scheme. The modern sewing-ma-
chine is a miracle of ngeuuity--the product of
the toll of hundreds of busy brains through
hundred and fifty years, but the whole bril-
liant result rests upon the simple device of
putting the eye of the needle at the point in
stead of at the other end

This is a competition of rather an unusua
nature. 1t is common to offer prizes for the
best story, or picture, or architectural plan,
all the con petitOrs risking the loss of their
labor and the sue essful one merely sell ny
his for the amount of the prize. But the
Press Claims Compauy's offer is something
entirely different, Each person is asked
merely to help himself, and the one who
helps himself TO the best advantage is to be
rewa cded for doinr it, The prize is only a
stimulus to do something that would be
well worth doing without it. The architect
whose competitive plan for a club house on q
certain corner is not accepted has not spent
his labor on something of very little use to
him. But the person who patent simple and
useful device in the Press Claims Companys
competition, need not worry # he fail to Sc
cure the prize. He has a substantial result to
show for his wOrk-One that Will command its
value in the market at any time.
The plain man who uses any article in his
daily work ought to know better how to lm.
prove it than the mechanical expert who
studies 1t only from the theoretical point of
view. Get rid of the idea that an improve
ment can be too simple TO be worth patenting.
The simpler the better. The person who best
succeeds In combining simplicity and pOpu-
larty, will get the Press Claims Company
twenty-five hundred dollars.
The responsibility of this company may be
about three hundred of the leading news
papers of the United States.

Tho Little Things The Most Valuable.

Comparatively few people regard them
selves as inventors, but almost everybody
has been struck, at one time or another,
wi tn ideas that seemed calculated to reduce
some of thellittre frictiOus OF life. Usually
such ideas are dismissed without further
thought
"Why don't the railroad company make it's
car windows so that they can be slid up and
down without breaking the passengers
baCks?" exclaims the traveller. "If l were
rucni-g the road l would make them in such
way"

never had 80 work over a stove or he would
have known how it ought to have been fixed -
Hang such collar button" growls the
man who is late for breakfast. "If | were in
the business I'd make buttons that wouldn't
slip out, or break off, or gouge out the back
of my neck"
And then the various sufferers forgot about
their grievar es and begin to think of some
thing else. If they would sit down at the
next convenient opportunity, put their ideas
about car windows, saucepans, and collar
buttons into practical shape, aud then apply
for patents, they might find themselves asln-
dependently wealthy as the man who invent
ed the iron umbrella ring, or the one who
