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 a 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. Edison?''
81 do" said Mr. Edison, land do
you know why do it?'
II suppose you do it SO you will reap
che benefit of your discovery, was the
reply.
Il thought you'd say that, said Mr.
Edison, land don't suppose you will
believe me when l tell you it ism SO.
Neverthe less, 1 discover a great many
things that l would be glad to give to
the public for nothing, but 1 don't dare.
| patent these things to save myself
from defending lawsuits There are a
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. 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 a suit
with the man who invented the thing
for making or using it. The inventor
will say But discovered this thing
first. 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 dis
covery 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 -

A Brief but Clear Description Of How
They Are Manufactured.

A Brief but Clear Description Of How
They Are Manufactured.
The thimble is Dutch invention,
and the first one was made in 1854 by q
silversmith named Nicholas Van Bens.
choten. Originally it was called "thum.
bell, because it was worn on the thumb.
In making thimbles the gold and sill.
yer ingots are rolled out into sheets OF
the desired thickness and cut by a
stamp into circular pieces of any re-
quired size. These circular pieces are
bent into thimble shape by means Of q
solid metal bar that is of the same size
as the inside of the intended thimble.
This bar is moved by machinery up and
down in bottomless mold of the out
side of the same thimble, and each time
the bar descends it presses one of the
circular pieces or disks into thimble
shape.
When the thimble is shaped, the next
work is to brighten, polish and decorate
it. First, the blank thimble is fitted
with rapidly revolving rod. A slight
touch of sharp chisel cuts very thin
shaving from the end of the thimble,
a second chisel does the same on the
side, and third neatly rounds off the
rim. A round steel rod, we'll oiled, is
held against the surface of the revolv-
ing thimble, and it is thus given nice
polish. The inside is frightened and
polished in similar manner, the thin
BILE being held i'll revolving mold.
Then delicate, revolving steel
wheel with a raised, ornamental edge
is pressed against the blank thimble
and prints the ornament seen just out
side the rim. Another steel wheel COW
cred with sharp points makes tiny in
dentations all over the remaining blank
surface of the thimble.
The last operation is to wash it thor
oughly i'll soapsuds, to brush it care
fully, and it is ready for my lady's
workbasket. Philadelphia Times.

A Harlequin without Money

One evening, when returning from
the theater ill cab (sic), having Or
dered the coachman to drive to the Sun,
tavern in Glare market, he threw
himself out of the coach window and
through the open window of the tavern
parlor just as the driver was about to
draw up. The man then descended from
the box, touched his hat and stood wait
ing for his passenger to alight Finding
at length there was no one visible, he
besought few blessings ON the scoun-
drel who had imposed apon him, re-
mounted his box and was about to drive
off when Rich, who had been watch
ing, vaulted back into the vehicle, and,
putting his head out, asked, "Where
the devil are you driving to?'' Almost
paralyzed with fear, the driver got
down again, but could not be persuaded
to take his fare, though he was offered
a shilling for himself, exclaiming:
No, no! That won't do. l know you
too well for all your shoes, and so, Mr..
Devil. for once you're outwitted. -
