About TO O'Clock Sunday night, one Of

LARGE INCREASE IN
INVENTIONS
Especial to Silver State J


WASHINGTON, Oct. 2.-There are
hundreds of unknown, hidden away in
ventors who have done great things
and have brought to pass, without
making any fine moral fuss about it,
great reforms-made people better
with turning-lathe almost, or cog,
or some happy little lever or some
thing.
The annual report Of the commission
er of patents is presently to illuminate
this reflection statistically. It will
appear then that the philosopher cs-
innate of the number of hidden-away
inventors is woefully inadequate. For
in the single fiscal year ending with
last June there were issued 34,332
patents, an excess of 229 over the num-
Der for the year before.
The patents granted at Washington
since 1886 are now far beyond a mil
lion and half. 1t would seem that
the advice of the special practitioner
to his clients, "Invent some little
thing" should begin to be difficult in
the following. With the automobile
still in process of Development, how
ever, and with the multiplication Of
flying machine devices and wireless
telegraphy paraphernalia in progress,
the patent Office may look forward still
to record breaking years of registry.
