PATENT RIGHT PUZZLES.
They Are Net 90 Mysterious When the
Law IN Understood.

They Are Net 90 Mysterious When the
Law 10 Understood.
Patentees constantly complain
that the patent Office gives them a
patent which infringes another and
an earlier patent, thus leaving them
with a patented invention which
they can neither make, 8 nor sell.
The Scientific American, answering
many such complaints, explains the
mystery as follows: .
"This matter would be clear if
patentees understood the law under
which patents are granted and the
rights which are conferred upon
them by the patent when granted.
"The law requires that a patent
shall be granted for a new and use
full invention. Such an invention is
patentable even though it includes
as a part something which is pat
ented in a prior patent.
"Now, one who obtains such a
patent should know that he cannot
make, use or sell it, provided the
prior patent is still in force, with
out the consent Of the owner of
the prior patent, for his patent or
the patented thing infringes such
prior patent.
owe believe that much of the
confusion arises from the words of
the patent grant which purports
to confer upon the patentee the
exclusive right to make, use and
vend' his invention.
"This is not what the patent Sc
cures to him, but what is given him
is the right to exclude all others
from making, using or vending his
patented invention. This right he
may enforce by his patent, even
though he cannot make, use and
sell it himself.
$50 that it follows that his pat
ent for a new and useful invention
will be given him by the patent
office even though it does infringe
a prior patent, and also his patent
may be absolutely good and valid
even though he cannot make, use
or sell his own invention"

Presence Of Mind.

During a performance at one of
the London theaters a man and his
wife had to quarrel on the stage,
the woman in a rage of jealousy,
the nan trying to persuade her that
she vas too suspicious and too pas
sionate. Both we're acting with
great spirit when the wife moved
her arm too near the candle, and
her muslin dress was in flames in an
instant. Both actors kept their
heads, however. The husband ex-
tinguished the fire and, proceeding
with his part, interpolated:
"You see, my dear, / was right.
You flare up at the least thing"

Locked In With a Maniac.

The writer was once closeted with
a patient whom he had no suspicion
of being mad until the latter got
out of bed, turned the key of the
door and preferred a mild request
to the writer to have his throat
cut, handing him at the same time
an open pocketknife, which he pro-
duced from underneath his pillow.

small for the purpose and begged to

at once, binding me over to secrecy
and urging me to lose no time in

The Inventor Of tho Match,

The first match was the product
of the ingenuity of John Frederick
Komerer, who early in the nine
teenth century was imprisoned in
the penitentiary at Hohenasperg, in
Germany. He invented the lucifer
match while in his gloomy dungeon.
The German government forbade
the manufacture of matches on the
ground of public policy because
some children playing with them
had caused a fire. Komerer was
ruined by Viennese competition
when he was released from prison
and died a pauper. Up to 1862 the
Vienna manufacturers controlled
the match markets Of the entire
world.
