THAT NEW PATENT LAW.

On both sides OF the Atlantic the
new patent law which has gone into
effect In Great Britain, after the ex.
piration Of the year of grace, Is re-
garded as Of great industrial aud com.
mercial importance. Stripped Of details,
the new law provides that henceforth
all foreign patents In Great Britain
may be revoked, after a reasonable
time, unless the patented article Is
manufactured or the patented process
operated in the United Kingdom to an
adequate extent. 1t will be seen at
once that this change Is most radical.
Heretofore the manufacturer, let us
say, Of an American harvestIng-ma-
chine, has been allowed 10 make 1t in
the United States and send 1t over and
sell IL In England. His English patents
protected him from British competi.
tors, and the wages he paid in his fac
tory were paid TO Americans. Here
after unless he would lose his patent,
he must build another factory In Great
Britain. and there make a portion Of
his product. The Inference Is, Of course,
that the wages In that factory will go
to Engllshmen. 1t Is not difficult to
see and sympathize with the British
point Of view. A patent is, OF course,
a legallzed monopoly. The number OF
patents annually granted by Great
Britain to foreigners Is somewhat
greater than the number Of those
granted to British citizens. Each pat.
ent not only confers benefit on the
owner Of 1t, but by virtue of its being
a monopoly 1t deprives others of that
benefit Moreover. many patents In
America are used only as clubs. They
are not operated, but serve merely to
hold a special deld away from compel
itors. Both France and Germany pro

tect their citizens from this evil. In
France patent must be worked In
two years. and in Germany in three
years. 1t has seemed reasonable to
Englishmen that their own people
should share more largely than they
have done In the benefits which pat.
ents confer. The Importance Of the
change may be judged by the estimate
Of the head Of prominent firm Of
British ship.builders that one hundred
and twenty-five million dollars will be

There Is a laugh In every line, and

Louis Mann, will be worth going miles
to see. The story takes place In a
small village In Western New York

jealousy Of the women Of the village

to say Miss Tharis Mograve will play
