CHANCE FOR FEDERAL JUDGES
Edison Would Have Them Find Some
"Obvious" Solutions.

The federal courts have several
times invaiidatcd Edison's patents OF.
the ground that the improvements
made by His devices were obvious
solutions OF the mechanical problems
and therefore not patentable. As in
many problems that require hard
study. the solutions did seem obvious
enough af.erward. Not long ago Mr..
Edison was ,rying TO work out new
piece Of mechanism. II seemed sim.
PIE enough problem when he began It.
bu. II proved 10 be extremely difficult.
After several days cxasperatingly fu-
tile work his attorney happened TO ask
him how ii was coming along. mo

OF course. the thing is perfectly OBJ
vious. wish you'd bring committee
of those federal judges down here that
are always saying that. II this thing
is so almighty obvious. perhaps they
can tell me how to make it."

CHINESE FRUIT FOR AMERICA.
Consul Thinks the Pomeio Would %
Well in This Country.

Consul Anderson OF Hangchow
thinks the pomcio. or Chinese bread
fruit. would do well in this country.
The fruit is grown In the United
States by few persons. but rot com.
mcrcialiy. Foreigners agree that the
pomclo is the finest fruit in the far
east. It combines the good points of
the orange with the good points of
the grape fruit.
The Chinese say that goodsized
tree will ordinarily produce from 600
to 700 pome,oes. when 1t is consit-
cred that many pomeloes will run as
large as seven or eight inches in
diameter and even larger. II will be
appreciated that such a tree is bear
ing load. The fruit is more oval
than round. Its color and appearance
are those of the grape fruit.

Now that thirty "emerrency" census

II is included every person OF whom
no actual knowledge could be obtained
OF whom the haste OF the census
tempted to throw under this general
heading. Amateur statisticinns have
decided that there are about 10000
citizens Of New York who have been
born Of parents natives OF this coun'

suits are OF the opinion that II the

more than 5000 persons could qualify
