Science Still in Its Infancy

Forty years ago when the first Atlantic cable
had been laid and a device had been invented that
would carry several persons up eight stories quick
ly could climb that high the people of the
United States ready to accept the conclusion
that the world perfect. 1t least it was perfect
as far as invention could make it. That sentiment
crystallized III effort abolish the patent
office in Washington expensive luxury. Every
thing had been invented. Why not abolish the Of
fee?
Even casual glance at the list Of inventions
filed in the patent Office during the last 40 years
would reveal the folly of such proposal. Thou
sands and thousands of inventions have revolution
lied everything from comforts in the home to new
'warlike methods of running homes.
Some of the more important inventions during
that time are the wireless telegraph and telephone,
elevated railway submarine automobile, telegraph,
phonograph, Roentgen ray, motorcycle, cinemato-
graph and motion picture, color photography, radi-
um, incandescent electric light, machine gun, tor
pedo, subway and the airplane Many of these have
been adapted to war needs attested to the battle
plane the armored automobile, the torpedo, smoke
less powder. poisonous gas and gas Masks and many
others
But even today there is no talk of abolishing the
patent Office. Science is now regarded as being in
it's infancy.
The Scientific American recently interviewed
an inventor who for some years past has produced
an average of one device a week. The mans
ideas are not limited to any field for his inven.
tions include propeller of new design, a dustless
ash sitter. novel game, and hundreds of other diff
ferent devices. His theory is that Inventions gen.
orally due either accident or to careful study.
Many of his leading inventions can be- traced to a
chance remark, an accident or peculiar incident;
indeed there is a wealth of romance in the history
of inventions. But the greatest mental stimulus of
all is refusing to admit that the given thing is per-
feet. No matter how good it is; matter how ap-
parent it's perfection seems. how long it may have
existed in it's present shape-it and it must be
improved That makes for progress. The Scientif-
ic American tells of another inventor who refused
to consider The violin perfected instrument des-
pte the fact that it had not changed form the
past three hundred years more. Not long ago he
brought out type of violin that met with in
slant success. Another man believed that shoes
far from perfect. Why should they be ventilat-
ed? Physicians say that lack of air accounts for
most foot troubles. Why not let the feet breathe?
The man went to work and finally invented a per-
feet shoe ventilator. The inventor takes moth
ing for granted. Perfection. to his way of thinking
is only comparative term. His job is to make
''perfect' things still more perfect-Sel
