The Oldest Patent.

The question as to the holder OF the
Oldest patent in this country has brought
out from the heirs Of Joseph Jenoks
some additional facts which tend to
show that he was the first inventor in
this country. Patents granted from the
sovereign power of England for land,
water and other privileges were not un-
common in early colonial times. Joseph
Jencks of Lynn, Mass, a number OF
years previous to receiving a patent for
an invention of scythe had been
granted one for "an application Of wa
ter power to mills" Biographical notes
state that Mr.. Jencks introduced to the
Massachusetts, colony the idea Of patent
Ing inventions, and that he might pro-
tect and introduce his ideas seems to
have been a reason for coming to the
new country. The grass scythe patented
in 1869 was perhaps the most valuable
Of his inventions. The improvement
over the old English scythe, with its
short, thick blade, like bush scythe,
consisted in lengthening the blade,
making it thinner and Welding square
bar at the back and strengthening It.
Today this scythe, practically unchang-
cd, is used in Europe and America. The
patent was withheld from Mr.. Jencks
for nine years, as 1t was thought to be
too valuable to be monopolized. Hart
