The Flood of Patents.

1T is becoming harder every
year for a man to get out success
full invention remarked a patient
attorney. "The other day | was in
Washington and my work required
me to search the old patient list.
The thing that attracted my atten-
ton was the great number of pat
ents taken out on common, every
day articles. Whv, they are so COW
cred with patients that 1t seems
absolutely impossible for an inyen-
tor to make any improvement upon
them without infringing upon
somebody else.
For instance take knives, forks
and spoons. How many patents
do you suppose are taken out on
these three articles Of everyday
necessity? A dozen or two? Why,
bless you, they are protected by p
2l03 patents. Then take brooms and
scrubbing brushes. You wouldn't
think that any number Of geniuses
could invent more than "a hundred
Improvements upon such things.
Well. there are patents for them to
the number of 3lSL It seems
ridiculous, docseu't il? ll lid to
me. and for a time thought !
would go home and advise every
one Of my clients to give up The in
venting business.
81 had the curiosity 10 goa lutte
deeper into the subject and / made
n record of the number of patents
taken out ON other small things.
Games and toys are protected by
i,lj3 different patient But, of
course, that can be over looked, for
Bryan morning eagle. [volume] (Bryan, Tex.) 1898-1909, 1899-03-04

games and toys are as varied and
uncertain as our winter weather.
The laundry business is hedged in
pretty well with patents, for there
are 1888 taken out on various
laundry articles. Burglars ought
never be able to get through our
locks and latches, for they are pro.
tected by 1916 patents; but then
this is partly offset by 1929 pat
ents for saws and saving apparatus
which burglars might use for des-
troying locks. Altogether, how.
ever, the farmer seems to be the
man for whom the inventor has
labored most. There are 10000
patients recorded which in one
way or another tend 20 benefit the
farmer. II must be that this is a
pretty fertile and profitable field
for the inventor or else he would
not devote so much time and labor
10 it.
" Manufacturing interests of all
kinds are pretty well loaded down
with patents. In the furniture
trade alone there are 4,Sj4 patents
70 protect the business outside Of
those which pertain to chairs.
These latter necessary articles Of
the home are covered with over 500
patents. When you pick up
paper to write letter YOU probably
do not realize that the manufacture
Of stationery is handicapped. or
protected, whichever way YOU
please 10 put It, by 1852 patents.
That fact ought 10 make one care
ful how he attempts TO invent "a
new style Of envelope, blotter or.
writing paper. lie would have to
bee remarkable genius TO get
around all of these and establish a
clean bill of health for his inven-
ton.

IA(AURING the two years agitation OF the Dreyfus
H&yN which preceded the verdict for revision,
there were times when the seeming hopelessness of
affairs would cause even the most sanguine to lose
heart.
One there was, though. who throughout it all,
stouty maintained that France would eventually
do justice and the forlorn prisoner Devils Isle
would again be restored to family and honor.
This man was Mr. A. Cohen Of this city, himself
a Frenchman, native of Lorraine, the twin province
ofAlsace, from which Captain Dreyfus comes. French
men born in these two places exceedingly proud
of their French citizenship for since 1870 they have
been German territory
representative of this paper stopped in to see
Mr. Cohen several mornings ago. He had been up
till midnight reading the just arrived Partisan papers
with full accounts of the proceedings before the Court
of Cessation. Mr. Cohen was brmful of his subject,
and was enthusiastic only Frenchman can be.
DREYFUs's WEALTH.
He said that one Of the points in the case which
appealed to him most forciby the vast difference
in the financial condition of Dreyus and Esterhazy,
the latter Of whom is conessedly guilty Of the crime
of which the former convicted.
In 1884 ten years prior to the persecution, Drey-
fuss bank account showed balance in his favor OF
600 900 francs Several years later upon the death
of his father, this sum was increased by 100000
francs In 1890 he married the daughter of one OF
the wealthest Jewish merchants in Paris, when ano-
ther large amount received.
About the same time that is in 1884, Esterhazy,
according to the evidence Of avowed friend, Gen
eral Blot Can compromising enemy of Dreyfus),
was impoverished by losing in gambling at single
sitting the sum Of 500, 900 francs With Dreyfus in
possession of sum largely in excess Of one million
francs and Esterhazy practically penniless and noto
riousy INSCRIPTIONS, it requires power of
divnation to see,who had motive for selling state
secrets.
