comes to finding a place to stack papers.
Tons and tons of papers float in one door

United States government provides for
the keeping of one of the greatest assets
of the people.

building. and resembles somewhat A min

years have looked somewhat discouraged

attorneys room. arranged in tiers on
each side of the Canyon" On the lower
floor are the places for the patent attor-
neys and their tracers and searchers, who
sit for days sometimes in a deSolate
search for some obscure little patent that
would mean nothing to any one else The
shelves and bins in which the drawings
of patents are kept are also here. There
are about 100000 of these in the American
files and many in the foreign files that

He is it's center peg. He sees to II that
every one of the 100000 patent drawings
is kept right. and tries to see that order
is maintained He also tries to stop the
soliciting of attorneys who have no of
fees, but who spring the unwary in
ventor who comes to Washington to con-
duct his own research. They say that
there is no such thing as soliciting buSi-
ness in the attorneys room-that is, the
officials do
Snyder himself says that there is no
such thing as soliciting, but some of the
boys can tell many yarn about invent
ors who are firted with by the adept,
and who finally end in having the whole
search made for them at a cut rate. 1t
is a time-saving thingssthis having some
one else do your searching-for If you
were to go into that dusty room and en-
deavor to find out of 100000 copies the
dra awnings which related to the art of
manufacturing breadpans you would be
tired out before night. And the American
drawings are comparatively easy to find,
too. The French drawings are hard to
find. The people in the attorneys room
say it is because the French have no syS-
tenn of classification, and will put a pat
ent for a shower bath in among drawings

for Indian clubs, because both are used
in gymnaSiumS.
But Mr.. Snyder and his corps know
where to find them all. Thirty-two years
with the patent papers of the nation must
be liberal education in that line. At
any rate. that long term of years has
helped many an inventor who has come
in with a great secret hidden in his
heart and model of it hidden in his
gripsack, and refusing to whisper word
of what the matter is all about. Every
big excursion to Washington brings its
share Of inventors, who know cheap
railway rate when they see one. Some
of them have the long hair of the regular
inventor, and others are mild-mannered
and closely cropped young men who don't
appear to be inventors at all. Those who
have no idea Of how to take out a patent
believe that all they have to do is to go
to the patent Office, mutter few words
and receive a fortune. They are the ones
who are disappointed, and the first man
to spread balm is Mr.. Snyder.
Here is a scene between Mr.. Snyder and

it on display.

but in art it's never been able to get be-
yond the Eastern League. So, along
came the Eastern League, female branch,
and looked at this picture and emitted
the loud, piercing Shrek. 'Mushiful

Eastern League, and some Of them not

what do you know about that? That's

this outrage on our fair city and didn't

Such, Larry, was the voice of Pitts
burg indeed, of Greater Pittsburg, which
includes Allegheny and other suburbs,
not SO large perhaps. but equally smoky.
An indignant and infuriated l might
even say, maddened, popuace, called
upon this man Sauter to stand up and
explain before the situation got beyond
the control Of the police authorities. Mob

Sauter, the painter, tried to square him

Yes. that's what l want. I want to

"AlI around you. sir. There are 10000

rows of other shelves containing myriads
of other patent drawings, duplicates of
all sorts of patent papers and mysterious
things that are never wanted until the
clerk loses them. Above them is another
tier, the existence of which has never
been even suspected by some of those
whose heads and necks have been bent
over the tables below for two or three
decades in their search for patents or
their pursuit of tracing.
When you enter the attorneys room
YOU will see a great many very earnest
young men and smaller number of old
men engaged in looking earnestly at files
full of mechanical drawings. They are
arranged at long tables. running cross
ways of the room. and are seated on
benches. In. fact. they remind one of
lot of boys who have been kept in an
old d-fashioned schoolhouse and have never
been dismissed. Threading through the
benches goes now and then one of the
regular employees of the place, whose busi-
ness it is to put files back when the
searchers are through with them, and
some of them have been putting back
files for great many years

mother and she'd got up hurriedly with
