Current Topics
Aooe0Ied TO ConSrcIl.

There is bill before the present ses-
sion OF congress directing the COM
missioner OF patents TO issue a patent
to James Selden Cowden of Virginia.
Mr. Cowden asserts that he has COM
piled with all the requirements In the
application for the patent. but al
though the time in which the applica-
ton should be acted upon has expired
he is unable to secure such papers.
This he regards as unjust. inasmuch
as a machine built practically on the
same lines as the one described in the
patent application has for some time
been in actual operation, and has been
purchased by a foreign government
for army use. He also says the inabiL-
ity to secure an American patent is
The only thing in the way of making
4 very profitable deal in which he Will
secure $500 900 in cash, and another
amount in stock for his patent. He
says his machine is worth $50, 900 600
At the patent Office it is explained that
a patent vas granted to Mr. Cowden
some time ago, and this he failed to
avail himself Of for the lack Of funds.
