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
and that he must spent fortune on delicate
experiments before he can get new device to
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 but 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
rom 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 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 miracle of ngenuity-the product of
the toll of hundreds of busy brains through a
hundred and fftyryeRrs, 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.
