STEALING INVENTIONS.
Few Men of Genius Reap the Benefit OF
Their Ingenuity.

Few Men of Genius Reap the Benefit OF
Their Ingenuity.
Just why inventive genius and guilt
bility should 20 together it is hard to
say. Certain it is that inventors are the
most guileless individuals in their deal
iDgs with others on business matters
and fall easy victims to the spiders who
lie in wait for such flies. The list of
clever men who walk today while those
who ride owe their luxury to the other
mans genius and their own shrewdness
is an interesting one. Here are a few
cases picked haphazard from the chron-
icle Of inventions that failed to benefit
the inventor, or, at least, produced for
him little of what was his due.
1t is not necessary to be very old TO
remember when hooks were first put in
mems shoes in place Of holes in order to
save time in lacing the shoe at the top.
This was the brilliant idea Of an invent
or TO whom it should have brought IA
fortune. It would have done so had he
been shrewd business man. Being
merely an inventor, he hadn't sense
enough to keep his idea to himself until
the patent office paddock had secured it
against theft In the innocence of his
nature the inventor confided the idea to
q friend while crossing the North river
ferryboat, and the friend hardly waited
for the boat to tie up in Jersey City be-
fore nc excused himself, started back to
New York and went on dead run for
a patent lawyer in order to have the
idea secured for his own especial bene-
/ fit. Another man is known today as the
inventor Of the lace hooks. He owns a
splendid house and is wealthy. The
confiding inventor got nothing.
The inventor of a patent stopper for
beer bottles, something that had long
been wanted by the trade, sold the in
vention for $40, 900 to man who recog-
nized its money making value. The
purchaser is now worth So, 600, 600, all
Of which he made from the patent stop
per. Out Of the goodness of his heart he
presented the original owner Of the
patent with $50, 900, so that this man
got $40, 600 in all for his So, 600, 600
idea To give some notion Of the value
of patent rights on this bottle stopper
the price came down from 81 to 6 and
cents a gross, and even at this enormous
reduction a good profit can be made.
This last inventor was treated with
princely generosity, however, in COM
parison with the genius who devised a
pocketbook clasp in the shape of inter
locking horns with balls at the END
which snapped shut with a single pres
sure. The idea was afterward applied tC
gloves and became very much in favor.
The inventor relinquished his prize fol-
the magnificent reward Of a kidney stew
dinner and 80 cents, the latter having
been advanced by the purchaser TO pay
the inventors expense from Newark t
New York. The man who secured the
idea and patented it after treating th'
inventor in the royal manner mentioned
made big fortune by his shrewdness
What became Of the inventor is no
known. -Exchange

TINT parade of tho silver men might be

THE GOLD BOOM A FRAUD

Since Messrs. Taylor, Mothorn anc
Harkins Of this city have returned
from Alaska with bad reports OF that
over-boolned country many other
similar statements of the country are
coming to light. A late copy OF the
Seattle Times tells OF the arrival
there Of thirteen passengers by the
steamship Wlllapa, who are part Of a
party Of 80 returning prospectors that
reached Sitka, Alaska, from Cook In
