Prejudical Education
Is Also a Handicap.

When a person with however inven-
tive a mind attacks a problem with
which he Is unacquainted and the state
of the art of which he Is ignorant. he
must necessarily founder about some
what like q nsh out OF water, and not
one in a thousand of the ideas which
come to his mind as inventions, which
he may think wonderful, may possess
either any novelty or practical value
whatsoever. But he IS foundering on
virgin soil, and. although he may be
circumscribed by ignorance. he Is not
circumscribed by pretudicial education.
which is quite as much OF handicap
as ignorance.
He does not know the authorities. He
is unaccuainted with theS books con-
tanning the words OF those who are
supposed to know. He depends on him
self. It has been the amateur in every
art that has developed that art. The
wonderful art Of photography. perhaps
more than any other. is very good
example of high development mainly al
the hands of the amateur.
But the right kind of education is
enormously helpful, and to a person
possessing the creative ina gination OF
the true inventor every bit OF tnforma-
tion upon the subject with which he /,
working is of very great help. There
Is one source of information easily
available to every. inventor. and 1t ii
the best source in the world. It Is
the inventors best school-and that In.
stitution is the United States patent Of
fee.
Evening star., 1917-10-21
Some Ideas Antedate
the Ancient Hills.

Another class of inventions has been
winged projectiles and other forms of
projectiles intended to be used
In smooth-bore guns. Several of
these are so old in the art as to make
the ancient hills blush for their youth
One of the designs. about which the as
sumed inventor was particularly en-
thusiastfc and confident. may be found
standing on end in the Washington
navy yard as a curio barking back to
the antique days of ordnance.
In 17l8, in England. an inventor took
a patent for a species of machine gun
with one barrel shooting round bullets.
to be used against Christians, and one
barrel shooting square bullets to be used
against Turks. Many devices have been
submitted to. the committee on ord
nance and explosives for shooting square
bullets.
There is one thing which seems to
make an especial appeal to a large num-
Der of inventors, and 1t is the centrifu-
gal gun. Designs for centrifugal guns
have been submitted for which their In
ventors have claimed the most remark
able results. For example. one inventor
claimed that his gun had thrown more
than thousand shots minute through
an inch board at a distance of fifty feet ::
and that test serves as perfect answer
to the centrifugal gun.
The United States Army shoulder rifle
throws a, projectile which has a strik-
ing energy of a foot ton and which is
suihcfent to penetrate an inch Of
wrought iron a distance of 'fiftv feet :,
While writing this article a New 4Yor,,
patent attorney called me up asking me
to examine ascentrifugal gun which an
inventor had brought to him.
Evening star., 1917-10-21
Must Write Out
Each Separate Claim.

In his specification the inventor, must
write out exactly what he Clair 1t ia
best to write a separate claim for
each particular feature Of the inven-
tion. instead of enbodyinE all the fea-
lures in one claim. II the patent Office
examiners find any OF his claims to be
new then they will be allowed; and.
on the other hand. If they ffnd that
what he claims Is anticipated in the
patents of others. the patent once will
write the inventor and tell him those
of his claims that are. rejected and
those. II any, that are allowed. and Tire
patent office Will also can his attention
to the various patents Of Others thu
have been found to anticipate him. ana
he can send to the patent office and get
copies Of these patents for Is cents
each, and then he can better acauaint
himself in a few minutes with, the Sta q
of the art in which he is working than
he could by any other means in q long
time. lie will then be able to, know
whether or not his device lie new and
even IL 1t Is new he is very likely to
find a. good many very helpful sugges-
tions for its further development, in the
work OF others who have preceded him
in the patent Office. 2

First Learn All
That Has Been Done.

The most important thing for an in
ventor is to find out when he attacks a
problem is the state of the art in which
he is working-that is to say, what
others have already done toward the
solution of the same problem or a
problem similar to that with which
he is working.
cation or skill to prepare an applica-
tion for a United States patent. which
will serve the purpose of giving the in
ventor an opportunity to find out with
very large chance of certainty
whether or not some one else has al
ready done what he Ia attempting, and
possibly done it in much better way
and then he will be saved the time
trouble. expense. anxiety and disap-
pointment of misapplfed effort in try
ing to do something with his presum ed
invention in developing it or in trying
to get others to develop and utilize it
Any inventor can obtain from the
United States patent Office the laws
which govern patent Office practice
with instructions for preparing a speci
fication acceptable to the patent offce
and II he is unable to make his owr
patent Office drawing he can get 1t made
by good craftsman for few dollars
1t will cost him but SIS to file his ap.
plication in the patent Office
Then 1t goes into the hands of the
highly scientific and ski1lful paten1
office examiners. who go through al
the files and look up references which
may anticipate his presumed invention
These references are patents that have
already~been taken by other inventors
both in the United States patent ONCE
and in the patent Offices of. foreign
countries.
Evening star., 1917-10-21
Few Secrets Are
Secrets fer Long.

The secret of it's composition or mech
anism is bound to become known to n
large group of persons. Even If
an inventor sells an invention to
the government and the government 1T
tempts to keep it secret. som" one eise
is almost certain in a short time to re-
invent 1t and patent it, and as gov
ernment secret use is not considered
public use of the invention the pat
entee becomes entitled to his monopoly
and the government is bound by law to
pay the patentee who is not the origi-
nal inventor for the use of the inven-
tion If the government continues to use
it. and in this way the government
might have to pay n patentee for the
use of an invention that it had already
purchased of another person.
1t would be inadvisable, however. to
have a patent issue on2 certain tmpor-
tant inventions until after the war is
over. s-
According to an executive order of
President Wilson. the issuance of a
patent on any war invention may be de-
layed until the end of the war, to quote:
go. l further hereby vest in the Fed
eral Trade Commission the power and
authority. whenever in its opinion the

ALLEGED HE AIDED PLoTTERs.
Man in Canada Engaged to Detect
Crime Is Arrested.

MONTREAL. October 2o-Govern-
ment authorities have arrested, on a
charge of conspiring to commit mur-
der. Charles Desjardin, whom they had
employed to obtain evidence in the at
tempt to dynamite the country home of
Lord Athelstan. owner of the Montreal
Star, some weeks ago. Desjardin was
brought to Montreal today and was re-
leased under bail, after pleading not
guilty.
After the explosion in Lord AtheI-
STAINS home, which occurred during his
absence. eight alleged anti-conscription-
lists were arrested. The charge against
Destardin, according to the authorities
is based on evidence obtained at the
preliminary trial of these men. Several
days after the dynamiting II developed
that an attempt to assassinate Lord
Athelstan by shooting him also had been
plotted.
At the preliminary trial the evidence
purported to show that Desjardin fur
nished one Of the defendants with
money and also promised rifles

Nearly All Are,
Found to. Be Useless.

BY far the great majority Of devices
submitted to the naval consulting
board possess no practical vaIue1what-
soeve-. It is very rare. indeed. that
a device is actually new. unless 1t hap
pens to be SO absurd as to possess
unique novelty in that direction.
At the last meeting of the committee
on ordnance and explosives lfty-seven
devices were considered and acted
upon, and out Of this number only four
possessed sufficient merftorious novelty
to warrant the committee recommend
ing their further development, and this
was an unusually high percentage. AS
a rule. not more than one-tenth of 1 per
cent of the devices submitted possess
any promise of practical value to the
Navy-that Is to say. only about one in
a thousand. AS a general thing. those
which the committee finds promising
are duplicated by other Inventors
minds attack the same problem a good
many of them are likely to attack 1t
in the same way and invent the same
solution. .,
This has been particularly true of
designs for non-ricochet shells for at
tacking submarines. A good many de-
signs for non-ricochet shells that have
been submitted to the committee on
ordnance and explosives are practically
identical. But 1t SO happens that the
bureau Of ordnance of the Navy already
has in service a non-ricochet shell of
very simple construction which has not
been improved upon in any of the de-
vices su omitted, -
