PATENT APPLICATIONS.
The Vast Majority of Those Sent to Wash
ington Are Rejected.

The applications for patents filed av-
erage about 1875 "a day. There are 80
principal examiners, with perhaps 20C
assistants. Every examiner and every
assistant examiner has his own special.
ty. Let us take the case, say, of poor
inventor living in Oregon. He makes
valuable invention and desires to OBJ
tain patent. He sends his application
with $50 TO the commissioner of pat
ents. 1t is referred TO the examiner hav-
ing charge of that peculiar class OF in
ventions 1t is his duty to reject it il
anything can be found OH which TO base
rejection. Nearly 900, 900 patents
have been granted in the United States,
and probably more than 1000, 600 i'll
the rest of the world. If any Of these
anticipate the invention, the examiner
must reject the application 1t is not
necessary that exactly the same thing
should have existed before, for if any
thing substantially similar can be found
the applicant must go to the wall. But,
more than this, if anything similar has
| been described in any printed publica-
| ton, in any language, anywhere in the
world, or if without being patented OF
described in print it has been used any
where in the United States, the exam.
liner should reject.
The rub comes all the time upon the
degree of similarity which will consti'
tute an anticipation of the invention.
A tremendous responsibility, it will be
seen, is thus thrown upon the examiner.
He wants to be safe. 1t is both hi.
pride and his duty not to allow patent
to go out that ought to have been re

many examiners reject almost every
thing on the first examination. No mat

AN ARTFUL DODGER.
The story of stolen Watch and a Truly
Penitent Thief.

The story of a Stolen Watch and Truly
Penitent Thief.
Being rich and proud, the old railroad
magnate would give a reasonable for
tune if this incident in his career had
never become public. He had left his
office one afternoon, and in front Of the
building found crowd, attracted by a
passing procession. He was pressing
his way through when stopped by a
brilliantly handsome young woman
whose face wore a troubled look. She
wanted to reach street in the north
western part of the city and was at a
loss what route to take. He CALAMITY
helped her out of the crush put her ON
the right car and told her where to get
off. Wanting to know the time few
minutes later, he dove into his watch
pocket, only to find it unoccupied. A
little profanity was followed by a
chuckle, for the watch taken was a
cheap affair he was carrying while his
timepiece was being repaired.
He had never suspected the beautiful
young lady, but the next day she ap
peared in tears and restored the stolen
watch. She was sorely pressed for
money, had no one to whom she could
go for help and had yielded to mo-
mentary impulse But her conscience
gave her no rest until she repented and
made restitution. She bad thrown her
self on his mercy, and the old gentle
man was deeply moved He insisted on
her taking $50, to be returned if she
was ever in a position to repay, other
wise to be regarded as gift. Over
come by joyful reaction, she almost
tainted and would have fallen but for
the support of her benefactor. When
she was gone, he felt as a man who had
done a good deed and was on the best
of terms with himself. He even looked
in the glass to smile congratulations at
himself. There he discovered that his
big diamond pin was gone. The long
pocketbook was missing from the inside
pocket of his coat. With weak hand
he reached for his own $500 chronom-
eter, and that, too, had vanished. He
told no one but his wife, whom he
swore to secrecy. That is how the affair
got out. Detroit Free Press.

Rewarded the Rogue.

Won Moltke was an early riser and
loved early risers Once, while roaming
around his Silesian estate at daybreak,
he found peasant woman bearing on
her back sack of potatoes which she
had just dug, making load heavy
enough for mule. Here's thaler for
you" said the great field marshal.
"You see, the early bird catches the
worm" Afterward he found out that
she was night thief who had ravaged
his fields persistently, but whom his
steward had never got up early enough
to catch.
