He Found the Heirs.

The romantic story of how the late
DR.. Arnold Pam, one of the foremost
lawyers of Vienna laid the foundation
for his wealth is related in the newspa-
pers of that city. About quarter of a
century ago n local jeweler named OFT
died, leaving fortune of 100000
florins. He was bachelor, and he left
no WILL nor were the courts able to
find out the nHme or whereabouts Of
any of his relatives. Arnold Pam de-
voted himself to the task of finding
them. For months he followed clews
In Austria and Germany and was final
ly rewarded by finding not one or two,
but thirty. The money was handed out
to him to be equally divided among the
claimants, while he himself received
25O,O00 florins, record fee. During
the night when he had the seven mil
lions in his house he appointed the
thirty heirs guardians of the sum.
Some of the heirs promptly squandered
their shares, and one of them came
back to DR.. Pam to see If he could not
get another slice.

THE INVENTOR.
No Protection For Him In the Courts

done inventors in the United States.

come the property of posterity, which
means Tom, Dick and Harry. The gov
ernment processes to protect the in
yentor for seventeen years and after
that time his creation is no longer his
own. But, as n matter of fact, the
government does no such thing. 1t lets
any pOacher run in and bring suit or
apply for an injunction, disputing the
inventors patent already granted by
the patent office, and in all the courts,
pending the long drawn out litigation
which follows, the other fellow is per-
mitted to go on manufacturing and
selling the thing he claims to have in
vented before the real inventor made
1t.
DO you see that little lamp thereY
asked Mr.. Edison as he arose full
length in his ragged old linen duster of
the workshop, and he pointed with his
pencil to an ordinary incandescent
electric light beaming brightly over Il
draftsman's table. 1T was my inven-
tion, known as a primary invention,
because | took two things, piece of
metal and electricity, and made third
thing out of them-light. Now, fought
fourteen years in the courts for that
little lamp, because Il Frenchman bob
bed up and claimed it after / had Sc
cured the patent. During all this liti-
CATION | had no protection whatever,
and when | won my rights after four
teen years there were but three years
of the allotted seventeen left for my
patent to live. 1t has now become the
property of anybody and everybody.
There is no protection given an invent

ment.'"
