PREDATORY way that New York is the most
luxurious city in the world, and that ex-
penditurcs are made on mere living with
an elegance and ostentation unknown in
any of The capitals of Europe. The total
wealth of New York would, if equally
divided, give to each man, woman and
child of the city So 75G. S2-an amount
greater than any other city of the world
Mr.. Speed states that SIC 400. 600 are

ouTwITTING PATENT STEALER
Reason Why Edison Patents Every
Little Thinr He InYentS

Reason Why Edison Patents Every
Little Thing He Invents.
A contributor to New Ideas says
that as Thomas A. Edison watched
the pumping of the air from va glass
tube in his laboratory day or two
ago a man said to him:
You patent every little thing you
discover, don't you, Mr.. Edisonp
II do" said Mr.. Edison; land do
! you know why l do itY'
Il suppose you do it so you will reap
the benefit of your discovery" was
the reply.
Il thought you'd say that" said Mr.
Edison, " land l don't suppose you
will believe me when l tell you it isn't
so, nevertheless. l discover great
many things that would be glad to
give to the public for nothing, but 1
don't dare. 1 patent these things to
save myself from defending law suits.
There are a lot of sharks in this world
who are continually on the lookout
for new things and when one of them
hears of something new he hustles
TO the patent Office to see if it is pat
ented. If it isn't, he claims it as an
original discovery and files his claim.
Then he will turn right around and,
like as not, begin suit with the man
who invented the thing for making
or using it. The inventor will say:
But | discovered this thing first; 1
am the inventor He is referred to
the patent Office, where he finds 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 fellow to swear that
he made the discovery a month or two
prior to the date the inventor claims.
1t sounds ridiculous, probably, but
it is a fact that there are often races
between the inventros and the sharks
to reach the patent office, the sharks
having had early information about
the inventors discovery. There are
many such races, and thousands of
dollars depend ON each one. What
say it is literally true"

"The new era for Mississippi's
prosperity has dawned at Gulfport,
and the realization of the dreams
of Mlssissippian's is now we'll under
way. The steam trip hammer be-
gins its work this week driving the
piling for the wharf of the Gulf &

1900 feet in the Sound to depth OF
about II feet of water, and before
many days train Of happy, exult'
ant Mississippians will leave Hat,
tiesburg and 60 out to the end OF
the pier, being witnesses to the tri-
umph of Gulfport-the future great
Southern gateway, not only to this
State but the Mississippi valley.
''It will be through Gulfport and
at Ship Island Harbor that the
millions of wealth now locked in q
pine forest will find it way to the
markets Of the world; and it will bt
through Gulfport that nineteenth;
Of the cotton of this State will be
exported; it is at Ship Island Har
Dor that the largest, cheapest ant
most accessible coallng stations o
the Continent will be established
it is at Gulfport where manufacture
and commerce will vie in friendly
rivalry for supremacy, and foreign
countries will pay homage and tri
butte to MisSissippi's greatest sea-
port.
