Concerning Patents.

The length Of time 1t takes to obtain
a patent depends partly on the nature
Of the application, that is, the thing
to be patented. and partly on the akin
with which the case Is presented.
There IRE forty distinct divisions In
the patent Office, each division having
in charge specific class or variety Of
work. Each application is examined
in the order of filing and some Of the
divisions are considerably behind IN

Makers 81 Heroea

Emerson says, Times Of heroism aee
generally times Of terror" They show
true character. It seems that human
nature needs a test to show the stun
It's made of. Spirits Of heroic mold
often lie dormant until aroused By .
mighty challenge. It seems 40 though
there is some militarism Of tho soul
that waits the fife call and the meas.
ure of the drum beat. Not fear but
lack of occasion keeps the latent might
unconscious of itself. But let the need
call and the sleeping giant rouses and
strides frayward to the dismay Of pse1v
puppets of annoyance.
