a serviceable weapon.
Americans Lead in Patents.
In the American corner" of the IL
brary are shelves upon shelves of fat,
yellow volumes, all marked ~. S. Pat
ents," and no wonder, for the British
patent office grants more patents to
American inventors than it does to
those of any other foreign country
3,1S9 was the number last year-Ger-
many coming next and France next.
In the library you find the inevitable
little army of Inventors
every one of the seven ages of man
represented among them-pouring over
the records of patents to find out
whether the idea upon which so many
of their hopes for the future are found
ed, has occurred to some one else al
ready. Inventors get courteous treat
meut at the patent Office. There isn't
anyone to say to them as Dickens, in
Little Dorritt' made Mr.. Barnacle,
Jr., say:
Lock here! upon my soul. you
mustn't come into the place saying
YOU want to know, you know"
How Dickens GrilIed the system.
In Dickens time an English patent,
considered merely as a document, was
a portentious thing. 1t was engrossed
by hand on a parchment sheet of
about the size of a big map of the
United States, and bore a round wax
seal fully as large as an ordinary
backing box, enclosed in a tin case
greatly resembling the last-named ar
ticle. To obtain a patent took almost
as long as it does to get money out
of chancery, and cost nearly as much
as a stateroom on a crack ocean liner.
What made Charles Dickens mad
dest, however, was the necessity that
existed in his day of bribing every
body that had anything whatever to
do with the granting of a patent. He
wrote:
Look at the lord chancellor, the
privy seal, the clerk of the patents,
the lord chancellors purse bearer,
the clerk of the hanaper, the deputy
clerk of the hanaper, the deputy
sealer and the deputy chaff-wax. No
man in England could get a patent
for an india-rubber band or an iron
hoop without feeling all of them.
ended with the deputy chaff-wax.
Note.-I should like to see the deputy
chaff-wax. Is it a man, or what is
it? Further, 1 agree that the whole
gang of hampers and chaff-waxers
must be done away with, and that
England has been chaffed and waxed
sufficiently"

surrounded by a detachment of dra-
goons and the two boys were taken

when he, also, refused, the Britisher
struck him with his sword, making a
wound which later resulted in the

BUYING OF IRON
 SHOWS INCREASE
ROGERS, BROWN G co. SAYS THERE ARE A NUMBER OF PAR TIES RUNNING PRETTY CLOSE ON SUPPLY OF IRON.

Rogers, Brown &. Co.'S Cincinnati mar ket report says
 There has been more buying during the past week than for some time. We find that there are a number of parties who are running pretty close on supply of iron and are seeking to cover their re- qurements for immediate shipment, and in a number of cases they are asking that shipments be traced before the or- ders have time to get to the furnace to be shipped. Prices are still somewhat IT, regular and thirteen dollars Birmingham has been shaded on desirable business.
 "The miners strike in the south is still unsettled, and 1t is reported that the furnaces there have about used up their supply of coke, so that number of them will have to shut down shortly unless mining operations are resumed There have been a number of sales made for delivery during the last half. and we be- lieve there is more disposition to buy than there was some time since.
 "The coke market Is in fairly good con dltion and buyers are now covering their wants for delivery during the last half.
