NOT SO HARD AS 1T SEEMS

A patent strikes a person as an appallingly
formidable thing. The idea is that an inventor
must be natural genius, like Edison or Bell;
that he must devote years to delving in compli-
Gated mechanical problems, and that he must
spend fortune on delicate experiments before
he can get new device to a patentable degree
of perfection. This delusion the company de-
sires to dispel. 1t desires to get into the head
of the public a clear comprehension of the fact
that it is not the great complex, and expensive
inventions that bring the best returns to their
authors. but the little. simple and cheap ones
the things that seem so absurdly trivial that
the average citizen would feel somewhat
ashamed of bringing them to the attention Of
the Patent Once.
Edison saws that the profits he has received
from the patents on all his marvellous invent
ions have not been sufficient to pay the cost of
his experiments. But the man who conceived
the idea of fastening bit of rubber cord to a
child's ball, so that it would come back to the
hand when thrown. made fortune out of the
scheme. The modern sewing machine Is mi
racle of ingenuity-the product of the toll of
hundreds of busy brains through a hundred
and fifty years. but the whole brilliant result
rests upon putting the eye of the needle at the
point instead of at the other end.
