PATENT BUSINESS GROWS.
Commissioner Calls for Additional
Help in Washington Office in
Annual Report.

Washington.-In his annual report
to congress for the calendar year 1905
the commissioner Of patents sets forth
the imperative need of an increased
force and additional Office facilities to
cope with the business which, the report
says, has shown a remarkable increase
during the last year.
In 1905 there were received "a, 034 ap-
plications for mechanical patents, ISL
design patents, 156 reissues of patents,
1924 applications for registration Of
trademarks, 1,06S labels and 467 prints.
There were 1920 patents issued, in
Guiding designs. The total receipts were
s1,S06,75S. The expenditures, 81, AIS, 633.
In proportion to the population more
patents were issued to citizens of the
District of Columbia than any state or
territory, the ratio being one to every
1,201. Connecticut was next in order and
Tennessee the last.
Nearly all the countries in the world
are represented In the list of patents is
sued, Germany, England, Canada and
Austria Hungary leading.
The most important event in the busi-
ness Of the patent Office in 1905. accord
ing to the report. was the new trade
mark law. which reduced the fee for
trademark application from $25 to SO.
In 1905 1924 applications were re-
ceived for trademark patterns, while

filed

DICKENS LovE-LETTERs.
Missives Show That, Though Married,
He Had Attachment for Girl
Who Welded Friend.

London.-The Tribune, the latest ar
rival among London daily newspapers,
has published for the first time
short series of letters by Charlie.
Dickens, to which is rightly ascribed
remarkable value. They reveal light
on an episode to which there had for
merly been no clew. II is known that
though Dickens own married life con-
ceaied no serious trouble, yet 1t was
not an affair of high romance. These
letters show that while still bound in
matrimony's bonds he was still capa-
Bile of deep and disinterested passion.
The young girl who was the object
OF Dickens sentiment he introduced to
an Intimate friend, with the result
that the friend and the girl married.
The letters written to his friend indi-
cate Dickens feeling, which was none
the less strong for being elevated un-
der control.
Il swear" he writes of letter an
nouncing his friends similar wooers'
mission. that when I opened and read
your letter this morning felt The
blood go from my face to don't know
where. and my lips turn white
The Tribune remarks that one OF
this group of three is still living.
Though the publication Of familiar
names might add interest to the story
of the letters. a reticent anonymity
seems to be indicated. No letters
could better bear to be judged on their
own inherent merits. Though they
deal with an attachment of second
and third person, they themselves are
almost in the nature of love letters
the tenderness of which touch a tone
of exhilaration.

CAN PRINT COURT REPORTS
Tennessee Supreme Court Aims at
Fairness in Refusal to Allow
Damages Against Paper.

Nashville, Tenn.-The supreme court
of Tennessee handed down an impor-
tant opinion regarding the rights of
newspapers to publish fair and truthful
reports of the proceedings of courts of
justice. This matter was considered by
the court in connection with a damage
suit filed against the Nashville Ameri-
can, in which case a verdict was rem
dered against the American for 5000.
The supreme court reversed this judg-
ment and the case was remanded.
The court laid down the law provid-
ing that unless the court had prohibited
a publication or the subject of the pro-
ceedings is unfit for publication they
may be published and the owners of the
newspapers occupy the same status as
other persons. Publication of suits
must be fair, they MIST not be mingled
with comment, the place for comment
being the editorial column; reports of
lawsuits need not be verbatim; no IN
due prominence must be given to promi-
nent damaging facts to the exclusion Of
minute facts which explain or modify
the former; extraneous matters must
not be introduced; in brief. the news re-
ports of the proceedings of courts OF
justice must be fair and accurate.

UNITED STATES CHEAPEST
Steel Expert Says That Quotations Are
Lower in This Country Than
Elsewhere.

New York.-Steel experts figure that
the United States is now the cheapest
market in the world for steel rails. One
manufacturer reports that recently "A
sale of rails was made in England on
basis of S2940 a ton, as compared with
$2S a ton, the price that has prevailed in
this market for the past several years.
As a result of the advance in prices
abroad the selling price of American
rails in foreign markets is gradually be-
ing raised. The difference in the price
here and in Europe has practically elm
mated foreign competition for the time
being.
The iron and steel business abroad is
exceptionally strong in all lines, which
accounts for the action of steel plate
manufacturers in removing rebates on
steel plates destined for Pacific coast
points.
The demand for steel rails in this
country shows no signs of abatement
Mail orders are coming in in larger vol
ume for this time of the year than ever
before. The railroads are laying more
rails than they figured on last year, and
this has resulted in substantial increases
in specifications from the original
amounts.

SNAPS BRAIN WAVES.
LYONS, N. Y, SCIENTIST TAKES
THOUGHT PICTURES.
Experimental Declares That Sensitive
Brain Is Necessary for This
Method of Perceiving
! Mental Strain.

Rochester. N. Y.-Photographs Of
thoughts and mental Impressions will
soon be as common as cabinet por-
traits. according to DR.. NJ. A. Veeder,
a scientist of Lyons, near Rochester.
He believes he has solved the prob
lem of photographing brain waves.
DR.. Vreeder on a recent evening in
vited number of friends to a photo
graph gallery to participate in an ex-
pertinent intended to demonstrate the
possibility of affecting a Photographic
plate by a purely mental process.
1t was found that all OF those who
assisted in the experiment were capa-
BILE Of exercising supersensitive pow
ers that are ordinarily latent This
having been shown, a plate from a
package which had not been opened
before was put in the holder and laid
on the table. the shutter being closed.
Each person placed one hand about
four inches above the plate, with the
other han6 under the plate and table.
and were requested to fix their minds
on named object
After an exposure of about one min
ute the plate was taken into dark
room and developed. 1t was found
that a SPOT had formed about the size
of silver dollar, which. it developed,
was whaI the persons participating in
the experiment hal in mind. The pre-
caution taken was such that there was
no escape from the conclusion that
the picture printed on the plate was
an impression of the thought in the
minds of those interested.
1t demonstrated DR.. Veeder says,
the fact that persons in a certain state
of sensitIveness Of the mind, which
has been fully identified, are able to
produce an impression on a rapid
Photographic plate without direct con-
tact
The experiment, DR.. Veeder stated,
cannot be successfully performed by
sheer effort of the will without the pc
culiar sensitiveness of the mind, evil
dence of which was secured in the case
of the five persons participating in
this experiment.
DR.. Veeder believes that the fact
that brain waves or something of that
sort are capable of producing photo
graphic impressions is not unreasonable
and is of remarkable interest in many
ways. Whether the mind can project
itself outwardly on the principle OF
wireless telegraphy for considerable
distances remains to be seen. He says
his experiments would indicate that
it is among the possibilities.
