PATENTS ON INVENTIONS.
Must BE In the Names of the Actual
Inventors.


The law provides for the granting of
patents only to the actual inventor of
the patented invention, and a patent
granted in the name of any one else
Is invalid. For this reason it is essen
tial that the application for patent be
made in tho name of the one whom
the law regards as the inventor In
some factories it is the custom to pat
ent every invention in the name Of
the president Of the company. This
frequently happens because the COM
pany has been built up on inventions
made by the president or other officer
and as a matter of pride the president
wishes to see all patents issued in his
name.
This is q dangerous thing to do in
the case Of inventions which were con
ceived by the employee independently
OF the officer, such as inventions wholly
worked out by employee without sug-
gestion or assistance from the officer,
for If in suit brought under such
patent it were shown that while the
patent was granted in the name of the
officer the invention was actually made
by an employee the patent would be
declared invalid, and usually a suit
would not have reached such a stage
until it was too late to go back and
patent the invention in the name of
the real inventor.-Edwin J. Prindle
in Engineering Magazine.

Passengers on a Terre Haute,

FIRE FROM THE WIRE

Men Were Aboard.

A broken trolley wire on the line of
the Terre Haute, Indianapolis & East
ern Traction company near Lewisville,
held up a traction car due in Richmond
about midnight Friday SO that the car
did not arrive in this city until after t
o'clock this morning. The antics Of
the festive wire caused considerable
alarm among the passengers. Before
it was captured and placed out OF
harms way, the wire set fire to the
car in three different places and made
a pyrOtechnic display which Perry J

At the point where the accident took
place there are two trolley wires just
d few inches apart. The trolley on
the car which was held up was on the
south wire. The north wive, covered
by a coating of ice, broke under the
strain, and dangled about the road in
an aimless fashion. Every time It
would strike the road or the rails
there would be an electrical display.

FIRE INSURANCE.
full Amount May Not Be Paid Even
When Loss Is Complete

" hen Loss Is Complete.
In fire insurance policy the sum in
sured merely marks the maximum liza
bility accepted by the insurance COM
pany and determines the premium TO
be paid. 1t is not in any way admitted
by the insurance office as q measure
of the value Of the property insured.
If l have life policy for $4,000,
says a writer in the Nineteenth Cen
fury, my heirs can, on proof OF my
death and their title, receive at least
$1,000, possibly more if there are DO
muses.. II I have a ship and | insure
her with marine insurance companies
for $4,000, | can recover the full 5000
at once should my ship be totally lost
But if l insure my house against
fire for $4,000 | cannot recover $4,000
unless l can prove the house to be
worth fully that sum. All that l am
entitled to demand is the actual value
of my house Immediately before it was
burned, and | must give every assist
ance to the insurance company in or
Ger that the actual value may be justly
determined.
By statute the insurance company
has the power to reinstate that house,
as far as the sum insured will go, in
stead of paying me anything. In prac-
tice, compensation is usually agreed
and paid in cash without recourse on
either side TO the right Of reinstate-
ment, but in no case am l entitled to
more than the actual value Of my
house as 1t existed just before the fire.

The HuRuenOts.

Here are two essays Oh the Hugue-
nots by Chicago public school pupils:
The Hugonots are people in France
that are followers of Victor Hugo.
Their leader is a man named Jean Val
jean that was q thief. but got con-
verified and turned out well. The Hugo
nots are very good people. A lady
named Evangeline wrote a long poem
about them. but it don't rhyme"
The Huguenots is the name of big
thing like steam roller that the mo-
gul used in India to run over people.
1t squoshed them to death and was
very terrible. 1t had eyes painted on
it like q dragon and snorted steam
when it was running. They are no
huguenotS emmy more"

FUND EXHAUSTED BY
INSANE HOSPITALS
Amount Appropriated for East
haven and Others Was
Not Sufficient.
ADDITIONAL DRAWN ON.
SECRETARY BUTLER TALKS OF
THE REPORT OF THE BOARD OF
STATE CHARITIES FOR THE Fls-
CAL YEAR.

The annual report of the board of
state charities for the last fiscal year
will show how nearly able the insti-
tutions Of the state were to live with
In their appropriations. This report
Is now being compiled by Amos w.
Butler, secretary Of the board. Among
other things it will show that the four
insane hospitals, including Easthaven,
used all their maintenance apprOpria-
tions and a portion of their additional
allowance.
The four institutions which do not
have an allowance for excess popula-
ton" says Mr.. Butler. ARE the Sol
diers Home, the Soldiers and Sailors
Orphans Home, the School for the
Blind and the Girls school and WO-
mems prison. The first three had a
small balance remaining at the end or
the year, but the funds Of the Girls
school and the Womcn's prison fell
short by s9,615,42 (S6226.55 for the
old institution and $33S887 for the
school in its new location). The
amount was made up by the governor
from his contingent fund.
To Guard Against Deficit.
Even some of the institutions
which had an allowance for excess
population could not have closed the
year without other help. A specific
appropriation of $4,000 was granted
the state prison by the last legislature
and the reformatOry got $4,000 to
guard against a deficit in the mainten-
ance fund. The population of 10th
these institutions was greater this
year than ever before in their history.
Both the regular and SDecifiC apprO-
priatiOnS for maintenance were used
and in addition the state prison spent
S10.43404 and the reformatOrY SD,
676.72 from their allowances for eX-
cess population. Another institution
whose appropriation was entirely too
low was the Indiana BOYS school 1t
used up it's regular maintenance fund
and was forced TO call on the cover
nor for an additional amount Of
$4,000
"These facts emphasize the wisdom
of the general Gssembv in providing,
by means of the per canita allowance,
for the growing popu'atiOn of the in
situations. also in giving the governor
a contingent fund for emergencies"

MERELY A MASTERPIECE.
Not . "Message" In Lovely Diction
For the Junior Manager.

A man who wanted to lecture called
at bureau presided over by two man
ayers.
He aroused their interest with lee
turer's art, says the Lyceumite, but
unfortunately the senior member was
just starting on a trip and would not
return for It least a month.
The seltor partner called the young
man TO on> side and exacted a solemn
promise that he would not visit an
other bureau or read his lecture to
anybody until after he had given this
particular manager a reading and a
chance to make him an offer a month
hence.
The interest of the junior member,
however. was at white heat, and he
kept sending for the young lecturer, in
sisting that he come down to the Office
and read his lecture. The young man
refused with as much tact as possible.
but this only increased the anxiety of
the junior
At last the young man told of the
promise made the senior partner In
stead Of Quieting the junior manager,
the announcement made him the more
anxious. and finally the young man
consented.
The reading ended, the junior part
ner said:
Now. your reading this has saved
us all much valuable time. I'll tell you
frankly. my boy, it won't do. There's
no message in it; it is loosely construct
ed; the diction is poor. 1t won't do.
Burn it and try again"
When the senior partner returned he
called up the YOU lecturer and sound
~ berated him + .3resking faith
How do l know you have not been
TO every bureau in town? You pronis-
ed me on your honor you would read
the lecture to nobody-not even to my
partner"
The young man protested that he
had not done So
Why" exclaimed the senior man
ager. "of course you have, He tells me
that you came down here to the office
two weeks ago and read him the entire
lecture and that he told you 1t was no
good
Yes" replied the young man: latter
much persuasion l did read him a lee
ture which he told me was no good,
but it was not my lecture-it was Wen
