The United States Patent Office Is
preparing 10 give away no less than
157, 1000 models of inventions which have
gathered on its hands in the course OF
business. They are mute witnesses IL
the inventive genius of the American
people. Some or them are curious, some
interesting. few, perhaps, beautiful
and many, 1t Is hoped, suggestive. They
may start trains of thought in the
brains of inventors which will lead t.
further inventions of benefit TO the hu
man race, says the Philadelphia Bull
letin.
This, however, is not the primary OBJ
ject of the government in giving away
the collection. 1t is hoped that invent
i've genius may be stimulated by thes,
objects, but the main incentive is econ
omy. For lack of room elsewhere thess
models have been stored in rented
building which costs the government
$4,000 a year and Is not used for az,
other purpose. They are not worth TIL
room they take up, especially when tina
room must be paid for at an extrava
CANT rate.
Some of these models, especially thos
of historical character, are to be givel
to the Smithsonian Institution and tn
| National Museum. The others will b
al the service of any museums, scientifi
bodies and individuals that choose t
apply for them. A catalogue will b
issued presently which will aid In sc
lecting the specimens.

company, and also because he showed
great aptitude in learning the duties
of soldier. He seemed to take posi-
