Company, upon the allegation that
certain basic patents Of Herman
Frasch, deceased, had been infringed.
The court, in its decision handed
down a few days since, holds that the
original patent expired in 1903, and
that If patents granted in 1905 were
sustained, they would have conferred
a monopoly of sulphur mining for
thirty-one years more.
The Judges therefore take the po-
sition that II behooves them to avoid
being led into a decision (which. in
stead of fulfilling the constitutional
purposes of promoting the progress
OF science and the useful arts, in
reality blocks the path OF progress"
They maintain that the various
methods of delivering hot water at
various levels are not patentable, that
the use OF the perforated pipes for
the general purposes of liquefaction
is too manifestly n mere mechanical
expedient and that there is no inven-
tive act in devising such a strainer
The clearing of the legal air none
the less opens up the way to extensive
mining or melting Of the sulphur in
the South, especially in the Texas
fields, where there are many brim-
stone bearing rocks from which the
chemical can be driven by steam.
The opportunity opened through the
decision causes some experts TO fear
the letting down of the bars will cause
a general raid on the present deposits

that two years previously England's

recommended the cession OF Danzig

latter's solemn pledges that the Poles

dependent or autonomous, or subject
to Muscovite rule. should always have
free access to the sea by way of the

were never kept. Nor were the guar

fame and fortune is read between the
lines of the decision of the United
States Circuit Court in Philadelphia
which denies that certain modifica-
tons OF the ingenious method by
which he forced sulphur to the sur
face are really patentable.
All the same there is a romance OF
science connected with the litigation
which has just closed. The efforts to
get the extensive sulphur deposits OF
southern Louisiana out OF the earth
had puzzled engineers for years. The
deposits were discovered originally
through oil drilling operations. The
cores which were taken from the
diamond drills were solid sulphur. but
to get the yellow element itself in large
enough quantities was indeed a chal-
lenge to the skill OF miners and me-
| chanics. over the sulphur deposits
were quicksands which had caused the
death of several men. What with the
unstable nature of the earth and the
noXious gases which were evolved this
American sulphur mining was called
failure.
