That Wilkesbarre woman who
caused the arrest OF a girl on, the
charge that the latter used laughing
eyes" to 'beguile" plaintiffs young
son experienced no sympathy at the
hands of the court. The Judge saw no
legal or moral ground for the arrest.
He not only set the girl free at once,
but COMPILING nted her on the posses
sion Of those Laughing eyes"
SO far as may be judged by the pub
lished report Of the case, the court
was eminently sound and wise. II
anybody should be arrested and placed
in confinement in connection with
such q matter it IL the young man
himself. The young woman to whom
Providence has accorded the gift Of
laughing eyes is blessing to the
community. There is too much sor.
row, too much occasion for tears, in
our sad old world. If any young fel-
low is in danger Of being "beguiled"
unduly by that Wilkesbarre style Of
optics, he should be placed in safe, II
not solitary, confinement.

Ing for the patent office. This institution has for
many years past occupied portion of the build
Ing of the department of the interior at Washing
Ton and since the volume of inventions pouring
IN to be considered candidates for patents has
steadily Increased year by year it has naturally
followed that the present quarters are hopelessy
inadequate. In order to make room the authori
Ties few years ago arranged to get rid of the
thousands of original models of old inventions
which had accumulated in the days when it
was necessary to send working model as we'll
as drawings with application for a patent. But
this was by no means complete solution for
the problems. The patent office must needs file
and keep on permanent record the papers in every
patent case, and these have been png up at
such rate In recent years that it is grave prob
lem how and where to store them in such fashion
that they can readily be brought to light when
needed for reference as in the case of the law
suits that are always growing out of patents on
Inventions.
However, there are other branches of our ma
uonal government that need new buildings Just as
much as does the patent office, and this brings US
to the novel argument that is being advanced in
behalf of the patent Office being granted a new
home in advance of all others. It is being pointed
out to congress that the patent Office is one gov
eminent institution, and almost the only one that
is se]fsustainine. For other activities Uncle Sam
has to go down In his pocket or rather the people
do through the medium Of taxes. In maintaining
the patent Office, however the inventors and they
alone pay the freight" What Is more not only
Is this bureau for inventors selfsupporting but
1t actually returns profit, or In other words, it
has on hand surplus at the end of each year
after all expenses have been paid. This net
plus has been piing up in the United States treas
ury until 1t now amounts to about 100000. and
1t Is this money, or such part OF it may be nee
essary, that 1t Is desired to have expended for q
new building for the patent Office.
As Is well known, we Americans are the great
est nation Of inventors in the world. About a
million United States patents have been granted,
whereas the aggregate number of foreign patents
granted by all foreign countries combined has
amounted to date to only about two million pat.
ents. The fever of invention in the United States
has waned temporarily in panic year." and it
slumped at one tr9 during the Civil war, but
otherwise there has been steady increase in the
number OF patents issued, and from $4,000 to

The present commissioner of patents Mr.. Ed
ward B. Moore is one of the ablest administrators
who has ever been at the head of this branch OF
the government 1t has been his aim and amb1-
ton to expedite In every manner possible the
aminations of all applications for patents pre-
sented-thereby enabling the quick issuance OF
patents whose novelty If not validity can In time
be guaranteed by the government. This will do
away with the criticisms Of the patent Office for
it's "slowness" in passing upon patents and it will
also do away with large amount of the litigation
which now devolves upon inventors by being
drawn into suits for infringments, etc. In line
with these improved methods there is now In
progress classification of all the material in
the patent office. This means the systematic
classification Of all the material through which the
patent Offices expert examiners have to search
when they are passing upon the applications OF
Inventors. When this vast accumulation of
data is arranged for ready reference it will enable
the issuing of patents more quickly after appica'
lions are received than has ever heretofore been
possible and, more important yet, it will give to
every patent issued greater guarantee of validity
than Is possible when such document Is
issued following what may eventually be proven
to have been an incomplete search" in which the
examiner Inadvertently overlooked or failed to
find an earlier patent on a similar invention.
The work of the patent Office Is carried on
through the medium Of some half hundred differ.
ent divisions, each devoted to some one class OF
Inventions, such carriage and wagons, or fire.
arms, or harvesters, or typewriters. At the head
OF each OF these divisions is a principal examiner
who is specialist in his particular field, and he
Is assisted by one or more experts who have
made life study Of the particular section OF the
inventive field to which they are assigned Many
OF these men have been in their present positions
for twenty or thirty years and have at their
finger tips everything connected with the history
and development of invention in their espective
spheres, and yet Uncle Sam gets the services OF
these experienced authorities for salaries that In
most cases do not exceed 81 800 to $4,000 per year
In each division there is force of clerical
workers who file the drawings which must be
presented with every patent application in lieu
OF the small working models which were once
required. These clerical workers also have to
