for new legislation. he believed.
Other changes in the patent laws are in
the mind of the administrative head of
the bureau. He withholds, for the pres
ent, consideration of them in his report.
No Classification Since 1890.
An increase that would double the force
engaged in the special work OF classifying
the patents of the bureau is urged. No
classification has been made since the
foundation OF the patent office or since
the first patent was issued in 1890, he
comments.
THE business of the Office is so enor-
nous at the present time" says Mr..
Moore, that it is almost impossible for
the examining force to work with any
great degree of certainty in making
searches during the examination of APP
plications for patents 1t Will also give
enormous benefit to the inventors and
manufacturers of the country and to the
outside public generally to have this great
mass of material in as perfect form for
use as ii 10 possible To make ii.
The great volume Of American pat
ents already issued. numbering nearly one
million. and also between two and three
millions of foreign patents and about fifty
thousand volumes of scientific and tech
meal works in the library of this bureau,
should be classified and digested as soon
as possible. The classification or the
United States patents is now being made.
ard at the present time about half of
these patents have been classified"
The establishment Of appellate court
with jurisdiction over patent cases is
again urged by Commissioner Moore.
Recommends Appellate Court.
AS I have recommended in former re-
ba IeSira a. fn
upon the Congress the great necessity for
eliminating one of the appeals of the
patent office. This is entirely in the in
terest of the inventor, who is now de-
laycd frequently from one to two years
by taking an appeal to the board of ex-
amihers-in- chief. which. in my opinion,
is entirely unnecessary.
IF the three members of the present
board. together with the commissioner,
the first assistant commissioner and the
assistant commissioner, We're formed into
one tribunal. and appeals should lie di-
rect to this proposed new appellate court.
ii would result in great saving of time
and money to the inventors Of the coun-
try.
s.0acc is also set forth in the report.
II desire again to invite the attention
OF Tn, Congress TO the great need OF
new and more commod'ous building to
house the r1t"nt office The pr' s@nt quar-
tiers provided wholly inadequate.
Inc volume Of business oi the bureau
increases each year. aS Will be clearly
shown b. the taole embraced in tine re-
mort giving the increases since the law
Of 1896 passed.
The patent office has been more than
self-suppcrtng since its creation" says
the report. The inventors pay for Its
maintenance and not a dollar comes
from the general tax revenues of the
country The surplus of receipts over
expenditures each year is absolutely net
surplus after deducting salaries and
every item Of expense that is charged to
the bureau.

Old-Time Relic.
An iron ring, supposed by Dean How
ard l.. Hodgkins to be a relic of the still
older university building on Columbia
Heights is regarded the most inter-
estng article in the box.
To John B. Larner, chairman OF the
board of trustees of the university is due
the recovery of the box and contents. II
occurred to him that the structure held
I'm its walls a ceremonial corner stone,
laid with exercises in June, 1883. when
the construction of the building began,
and he urged that a search be made be-
fore the relic should be lost amid debris
of demolition.
s. W. Woodward. the present owner of
the property gave orders to rescue the
corner stone. With the leveiing of the
walls the stone was recovered Monday
morning Mr. Woodward presented the
corner stone to the university.

Three Pictures by Miss Schille.

The center of the fiat wall has been
given to a group of three paintings by
Miss Alice Schille of Columbus. Ohio,
whose work has unusual individuality.
Two of these paintings are figure studies.
one little girl on blue garden seat and
the other a picture of a woman taking
off a child's shoes. The third is a city
picture purposed primarily as harmony
of color. All are broadly painted and in
rather a high key.
Above this group hang two pictures by
Miss Mariana Sloan. a member of the
Philadelphia Water Color Club, and one
of the strongest Of the women landscape
painters. Both are pictures of shady
roads showing marked contrast of light
and shadow and excellent handling of
heavy green foliage. These pictures emf
nently deserved a place on the line and
doubtless would have been SO placed had
space permitted. AS it Is, however they
show to excellent effect.
Miss Elizabeth Sawtelle makes an eN-
ceptionally good showing in this exhibit
ton with "A Roadside Cottage" and a
picture of the sea on a rocky coast. Both
are spirited and colOrful, but the former
has breadth and a sense of completeness
which is rare.
