Patents That Paw

QICAlS AdC
Many inventors complain that there is
no money in inventions nowadays" 1t is
doubtless true that many inventions that
are patented fail to return any money to
their inventors, but this may be, first, be-
cause the patented article Is of no CONNER
cial use and will not attract buyers, or,
second, because, while the article may
possess very great commercial possbili-
ties, the owner does not possess either the
capital or the business tact to push it, or
holds 1t at so high figure that he drives
away all possible purchasers. That pat
ented articles do sell, and sell well, may be
seen by all inventors who may look up the
business in all it's details.
In recently published paper in Wash
ington, d. c., compilation of the latest
sales of patents showed that one inventor
has sold a patented dispensing can for $500,
another sold graining apparatus for $500,
and another sold patent on folding wall
shelves for $1,000 The same list showed a
patent for the ornamentation of metal sur
faces sold for $780, a clamp sold for $5O00
an amalgamating machine sold for $50, 900,
a clover feeder for $4,000, sleeping car for
$4,000, a fireproof floor for $1,000, a weather
strip for $1,000, bootheel for $500, and an
other for $1,000, wire-fence machine for
$1,000, an automatic ticket holder for $3.50,
a dispensing can for $500, a dust-pan for
$10S2, coffee pot for $500. can-flifg ma
chine for $780, plow for $1,000, an augur for
$1,000, a printing and card-cutting machine
for $4,000, graining stencil-plate for $500,
key for $2500, machine joint for $1,000,
hydrocarbon burner for $17O0, gas lamp
for $40. 900, and an expansion wheel for
$1,000 Some other patents sold as low as
500.
Mechanics of the inventive turn of mind
may see in such a list a good deal to en-
courage Them The sales cover only pat
ents. Not one of these inventions had been
worked. In each case the sum of money
named is paid for the letters patent, and
the purchasers make all the investments
needed to manufacture and push the arti-
Gle. One thing to be noted in all the sales
is that In each case the article is prac-
tical article. No perpetual motion or mys-
terious motor sale is recorded Mechanics
should note that 1t is only practical in
ventions that can have any commercial
value In the estimation of observers Mys-
teries do not sell. Fads are Stunned. Cranks
are avoided. Yet, with all the conservatism
that characterizes business men, the in
ventors who have attempted to solve prac-
tical problems and to supply practical needs

Decisions on Irrigation Bonds

Irrigation bonds have been assailed on
every preteXt known to the most astute
lawyer Some districts, after having sold
their bonds for pipes and water system,
have even denied the validity of their own
organization as a district, and hence
claimed that their bonds were illegal; other
districts have admitted the legality of
their organization, but claimed that there
was some irregularity in the issuance of
the bonds, and hence proposed to repudiate
them.
In the case of W. F. Sichrist VS. the Ri
alto Irrigation district, which occupied the
superior court of San Bernardino for sew
eral days this week. the bondholders de-
INJURED to the complaint on the ground that
the district had gotten its water system,
pipes and water. in consideration for it's
bonds, and that the district, having never
proposed to return the consideration back
to the bondholders, that therefore they had
no case in equity. Judge Campbell, be-
fore whom the case was ably argued, sus-
tained the demurrer, holding that party
receiving the benefits of a contract, must
meet the burdens thereof. Ten days were
allowed the plaintiffs to amend so as to
bring themselves within the lines of equity
by offering to give back to the bondholders
what the district received from them.
On the same day Judge Campbell ruled
in the case of Butterfield VS.. Rialto Irriga-
tton district, that the plaintiff was barred
from any rights before the court, as more
than two years had elapsed from the or
ganization of the district up to the filing
of the suit, thus deciding that the statute
of limitations was valid against the state
The general trend of the decisions is
towards sustaining all irrigation bonds.

4 plsastrous Ycar for NarIgalion


The gear that IS drawing to close
has proved one OF the most disastrous
In the entire history OF navigation.
Many a staach vessel has gone down
and many gallant sailors are mourned
In homes all over the world. The III
faied Bourgogne of course heads the
list. The loss OF life resulting from
her collision with the CromartEshire
stands almost without parallel In marl-
time annals. And as IL the fogs that
caused her destruction did not add
enough 10 the dangers o. the sea, the
storms OF this year have been OF extra
ordinary violence and duration. Only
few weeks ago the steamer Michigan
ran on the shore OF the English Chan
mel and the loss OF a hundred lives was
reported. And now comes the terrible
news that the American coastvise
steamer Portland has foundeHed IN the
open sea of Cape Cod, carrying down
with her one hundred and sixty souls.
II Is more than probable that scores oil
New England coasting vessels met de-
strucfion in the same storm, and the
