DESIGN OF LETTERS PATENT IN
USE TODAY.

July 4. 1886. there had been issued 1902
! patents. The first patent Of the present
series was granted to John Rugglcs.
July 13, 1896, for a locomotive engine.
and is Patent No. !. This number was
not given the patent at the time Of is
sue. but at a subsequent period. when the
desirabiity of numbering patents con-
secutively was recognized.
In 1886 and for a number OF years
afterward there were only few patents
issued each year, but to-day United
States patents are issued at the rate OF
more than 10000 year, with applica
tons being filed at the rate of about
10000 year.
To show the workings Of the Patent
Office to-day and the vast field TO be
covered before a patent may be issued
il is necessary TO mention only few Of
the duties Of the examining force. 1t Is
we'll known that anything 70. be patent
able must not have been known or used
by others in this country before appli
cation Is made for patent. Nor must
1t have been patented or described in
any printed publication in this or any
other country for more than two years
prior to the application.
The vast mass OF patents and technical
publications Of all countries In the world
constitutes the field which must be
searched to-day TO determine the novelty
or newness OF an invention. This field
CT search in 1885 comprised $1,000 United
States and foreign patents and the tech
meal literature Of the day. In January,
1905. it comprised more than $4,000
United States patents and between two
and three million foreign patents, as well
as all the available technical books and
periodicals.
All patents, both foreign and domestic,
thus must be searched, and if nothing is

tons had their origin In England, and
have since been adopted and copied by
every civilized power.
The object aimed at In the granting OF
patents was TO secure reward to the
inventor. and at the same time to obtain
the invention for the free use OF the
public after the patent had expired. To
carry out the latter part OF this design
the early patents contained a clause re-
curing the inventor Ito take appren-
tees and teach them the knowledge and
mystery OF the said new inventions"-a
practice which led TO the adoption Of
fourteen years as the term Of a patent
that others might by seven years APP
premiership and seven years practice
acquire the invention"
But 1t was found that the public could

" Why does one place prove so
popular that seats cannot be had
between 4:3o and the theatre hour. while
others-some Of them far more sumptuous-
ly itted-remain empty or nearly so?
Is 1t the food. the cooking. the manner
of service. or what? Is it the music, the
flowers the gowns, the souvenirs?
AL of these things contribute TO great
extent, but not one of them constitutes the
potent charm that spells success. The real
reason why some OF the hotels and restau-
rants thrive is that their proprietors have
discovered the secret of catering 10 their
women guests.
Women make the success Of the plays
and the novels, and there is no doubt that
they also are the ones who decide, as a
rule. where the festal dinners and suppers
are 10 be eaten before and after the play.
No matter how splendid or now fashion
able hotel may be. woman likes TO 60
where she sees lots Of other women, where
the music pieases her and the lights are
adjusted 10 make her look at her best
IL is this catering unobtrusively but sure
ly to the women patrons of the great eat
ing places. the serving OF special dishes
with afternoon tea, bonbons, fruits and
lacy seryiettes under the foods that has
built up the popularity OF al; the places
that are most crowded in the afternoons.
In the case of one deliberately furnished
and decorated Broadway restaurant that
closed its doors recently any number Of
amusing reasons were given as 10 the
cause Of closing IT was admitted that
there was some kind of hoodoo on the
place.
One or the most absurd causes advanced
was that people objected TO the rule calling
for evening dress on the main floor. New
Workers who patronze snowy restaurants
where as much as a dollar Is charged for
n simple desser, generally wish TO wear
evening dress.

not rely on this method for a full and
complete understanding and acquisition
Of the Invention. because the patentee
might not. and very often did not, per-
form his part Of the agreement So in
the reign Of Queen Anne the law officers
OF the Crown introduced another and diff
ferent clause. requiring a written de-
scription of the invention to be filed.
This is what Is commonly known as the
specification.
Prior 10 that time the only description
OF record OF the invention secured by a
patent consisted OF n few words giving
merely the name Of II. The first patent
in which a specification was required
appears TO be that of John Nasmyth,
granted on April l, 1712. Later draw

could not pick up the scent. and the
chase was abandoned. However, there

Des Moines. May 2s.-Members OF
the legislature did not know until lons
after adjournment Of the session that
there had been a reduction made in the
funds available for the use Of the state
board Of health in general work. At
least IL it was known it was known to
only a few. DR.. Moerke, who has just
resigned the presidency of the state
board Of health, makes the accusation
that the senate was all right and did
the right thing, but that i was the
house that refused to appropriate funds
to maintain the work. He also init
mates that 1t was due to one man, but
does not designate him. Representa-
tive Dixon, who was member Of the
appropriations committee Of the house,
states that the committee did not I'M
derstand that the appropriations for
expenses Of the board were being cut.
The matter was not properly presented
to the committee. he says, and it was
not known that more money was need
ed. All the emphasis was put on Sc
curing better salaries and but little
was said about more funds for ex-
penses Of the department.
It Is expected that Governor Carroll
will proceed to reorganize the board at
once. by filling the vacancies and that
the work will go on without change.
