Why Thomas A. Edison Patents Every

Why Thomas A. Edison Patents Every
thing He Invents.
As Thomas A. Edison watched the
pumping of the air from glass tube in
his laboratory day or two ago, man
said to him.
"You patent every little thing you
discover. don't you, Mr.. Edison?"
II do," said Mr.. Edison, land do
you know why do iti''
II suppose you do 1t 80 you will reap
the benefit Of your discovery, was the
reply.
II thought you'd say that" said Mr..
Edison, "and don't suppose you will
believe me when 1 tell you it isn't so
Nevertheless, l discover a great many
things that would be glad to give to
the public for nothing, but don't dare.
/ patent those things to save myself
from defending lawsuitR There are
lot Of sharks in this world who are con-
tinually on the lookout for new things,
and when one Of them hears of some
thing new he hustles to the patent Office
to see if it is patented. II II isn't, he
claims it as an original discovery and
files his claim. Then he will turn right
around and. like as not, begin a suit
with the man who invented the thing
for making or using it. The inventor
will say: But discovered this thing
first. I am the inventor. He is referred
to the patent Office where he fnds the
official claim of original invention. The
fact that the papers are filed long after
he made his discovery does not help
him, for all the other man does is to hire
a fellow to swear that he made the dis.
covery a month or two prior to the date
the inventor claims. 1t sounds ridicu-
lous, probably, but it is fact that there
are often races between the inventors
and the sharks to reach the patent
Office, the sharks having had early in
formation about the inventors discov.
cry. There are many such races and
thousands of dollars depend on each
one. What say is literally true. -

SIREN SONGS FOR GOPHERS.
How Florida Land Turtles Are Lured Out
of Their Holes.


of Their Holes.
w. II. Gilbert, locksmith, astrono-
mer, fisherman. scientist, hunter and
capitalist, is great fancier of gopher
meat. and has thought of many ways Of
catching the game.
Some time ago ho learned that there
was family living in the northwestern
part Of the county which boasted of
young men who could Sing gophers
out of their holes. He travelled many
miles to ascertain If the report was
really true.
The young men were reluctant ut first
to give an exhibition that might reveal
their secret, but Mr.. Gilbert had a
number Of pursuasives along and finally
they Consented.
The young men equipped themselves
with gunny sack and a pointed stick
about five feet long. A half mile from
the house. in the wire grass of the roll
ing pine land, they found the hole of a
gopher They covered the entrance of
his tunnel with sack and planted the
stick over the tunnel. Then all Of the
men lay down about 30 feet away and
one Of them sang
In a half hour the sack was seen to
move slightly, whereupon one of the
young men jumped mp quickly and ran
TO the stick, which he pressed deep into
the ground, cutting off the gopher's re-
treat The other reached his hand into
the hole and brought out n big gopher.
which was made into delicious stew
for their dinner Mr.. Gilbert, discours-
ing on the incident, says:
II have since learned that the Mexi-
cans, who are very fond Of gophers,
pursue this method, except that they do
not sing. The singing is entirely super
fiuous. Curiosity ia what kills tho 60

Her Little Ruse.

Sage physicians who make profound
study of pathological symptoms ought
always to make due allowance for femi-
nine tricks and In the progress
of a prolonged typhoid fever case in
which the patient was a clever young
woman a local doctor expressed himself
as satisfied with the gradual improve
ment of the patient with the exception
that her tongue did not resume the clear
pink hue Of healthy youth. The other
morning, however, the daily inspection
of that member as gracefully protruded
by the maiden pleased the medical man
very much.
"Ah," said he, rubbing his hands to-
gether III a gratifled manner, your
tongue is looking much better. Miss
Biddy. You will soon be all right
After the doctor had gone the mother
remarked "Well, Biddy, you certainly
are better. Your tongue looks SO i'm
proved"

weary sigh. ~ got tired bearing the
