PATENTS NEED PROTECTION.
Danger From Fire in the Patent
Office.

WASHINGTON, April 25.-The re-
cent fire in the patent office has had tn =
erect of calling renewed attention to
the system by which patent office re-
ports are stored and sold. Patent Com
missioner Seymour has repeatedly en-
deavored to obtain congressional au-
thority to change these methods, but
so far without success. At present,
whenever patent is issued, descrip-
ton must be printed and bound WITH
j drawing of the device 1t is impos-
stble to tell at the time how great a
demand there will be for copies of the
pamphlet and the regular rule is to
print 100 copies of EACH Some of these
are distributed to state and government
libraries and not a few other places
and the great majority are stored to
await purchasers. In many cases only
few copies are called for, while In
others the whole edition is rapidly ex-
hausted, and new one has to be
printed. Sometimes a patent will lie
almost unnoticed for a dozen years,
and then there will be tremendous de-
mand for 1t. For instance, In the case
of the Berliner patent, the original
100 copies lasted for years, and then
over 2,000 more were asked for within
short time. Between SEQ, coo and 900. 900
patents have been issued, and there
are estimated to be $4,000, 600 copies of
the specifications for these stored in
the patent Office, many of which will
never be called for. Some of these
copies were destroyed in the recent
fire.

Ole Hanson, a single man employed
as teamster by Michael Tobin, was
instantly killed about noon yesterday

spot on the Excelsior road where
Catherine Cling was found, death hav-

cord wood to town When crossing
the small bridge his horses became
frightened by the breaking of one of
the lines and started to run away.
Hanson was thrown from the wagon
and the wood scattered all along the
road, Hanson himself having been
caught under the wheels, which passed
over his head, crushing it down into
the sand and into a mass. The body
was found with the head buried in
the sand by farmer named Hankey.
The body was removed to the county
morgue where it was afterwards iden-
titled. A watch and a small amount of
money were found on the dead mans
body. Hanson was twenty-seven years
old, and his boarding place is not
known, but is supposed to be on Fifth

ALAS, THE DAM.
English Capitalists Will Spend No
Money on If


Dispatches from London state that
the project to build a new dam below
the Tenth avenue bridge, in which the
PillsburyW ashburn and the Lowry in
terests have been engaged, has fallen
through, at least so far as the present
projectors are concerned. Mr.. Lowry
has been in London negotiating. with
British capitalists for the money neces-
sary to do the work, and is now on
his way home, but Charles A. Pills
bury, the moving spirit in the enter
prise, says that he has no news from
Mr.. Lowry to that effect. He is there
fore not in a position to either affirm
or deny the statements made in the
dispatches.
The projected dam would have cost
SiooOOO and 1t was expected that the
money would be advanced by the
British stockholders of the Pillsbury-
Washburn company, who are reported
to have been well satisfied with their
Minneapolis holdings. From the new
dam they looked for profit, not only
to the new industries which would
spring up at the dam, but it was prom
1sed that the Minneapolis and st. Paul
street railways should be operated nv
power from the new dam. 1t was in
connection with this that Mr.. Lowry
went to London, and it was stated at
one time by cable that the arrange
ments had been completed. A later
cable, however, stated that some minor
matters remained to be arranged. and
it was on these, if at all, that the hitch
has come.
Mr.. Lowry is expected to return ear
~ In May, at which time more will
be known concerning the present
status of the Improvement than can
now be told.
