First Patent In America.

The first patent in America was
granted to Joseph jerks, founder
and machinist who had emigrated
from Hammersmith, England, where
he was born in 1902. He was very
ingenious man, and was induced by
Governor Winthrop, the younger, to
come to Lynn, Mass, about 1912, as
master mechanic to establish 'the iron
and steel works."
He was acknowledged head of the
iron smelling and founding business
and the first builder of machinery in
this country and first patentee of in
vention in America, having introduced
the idea first granted by act of par
lament in 1925 of protection for the
manufacture of improvements by pc
tition to the government of Massachu-
sets Bay. In 1916 he took patents for
mill Improvements, and in 1866 he pat
ented the present form of the grass
scythe, for which he should be held
in grateful remembrance. In 1862 he
made dies for the first coinage of
money, the pine tree shillings. In 1854
he built the first fire engine to the
order of the selectmen of Boston (the
first ever built in this country; in 1857
he built forge and entered upon the
manufacture Of his improved scythes
nine years before his application was
granted.-Journal of American His.

Owing to the oiliness of the skin, It
cannot be efficiently cleansed by water
alone; hence the morning cold bath,
which is delightfully."- tonic and invigor-

a delusion and a snare so far as eff

dergoes after the cold bath undoubted-
ly assists in the removal of the dried
secretions from the skin, but there is
still need. of some substance which will
so modify the greasy coating as to
