to get greater resistance to stress In

Luminous O:als Popular.

The radium watch industry. which
has grown In few years to such
large proportions. began with the pro
ductiOn OF one watch In 1903 by the
scientist DIR. George +. kunz. Dur
ing 19OS-10 few hundred such
watches were imported and sold un-
der patents owned by large Ameri-
can radIum company. From 1910 until
the present time the Industry has
grown steadily. In 1913 about $500
radium watches and clocks were sold
in the United States. and by 1918
there was more than a five fold In
crease In this number. From these
small beginnings the use Of rndio-
luminous compound has grown into an
industry with On output which In 1919
appropriated 2,2OO,0O0 American high
grade and cheap watches and clocks
and upward OF 100000 imported time

CUBA OWES MUCH TO c0RGAS
Converted Island From Plague
Spot to pleasure Resort.

Cubans take great deal Of pride In
the Prado, splendid avenue about two
miles In length extending from a
charming park to the Havana water
front Several years ago the tourist
who had walked on the Prado was
generally held to have rlsked his life
by mlngling with the crowd, when yell
low fever sccurged Cuba annually.
Malaria was also frequent, and Ha-
vana had the reputation of being one
of the unhealthiest places In the
world,
In 1901 General Gorgas, then a
major, became sanitary officer at Ha-
vana. and dealt SO effectively with the
terrible plague that by 1910 not a
case had originated In the city. The
successful fight against the fever was
due to the remarkable discoveries by
American physicians that these dis
eases were transmitted by mosquitoes.
The fight against yellow fever helped
70 curb other epidemics.
Havana has generally been extlnor-
dinarly prosperous. Under the harsh
Spanish rule. at time when only n
tenth Of the land In Cuba was cult
vated the island was able to pay
Spain between $4,000, 900 and $4,000
600 annually. The World shortage of
sugar has made this prosperity Of the
past seem small matter. Million
aires have been made over night the
Cubans having so much money and
entertaining so many mflionaires from
America that Havana Is not good
place for poor man to visit.

PATENT OFFICE BUSY PLACE
Last Year Broke All Records In the
Number Of Inventions That
Were Filed.

Last year was a record year In vol
ume II not quality Of inventions. APP
plications for patents reaching the
patent Office during 1919 approached
the unprecedented number of 10000.
r,ore than any years output. The in
crease grew with the year. Aaron
Hardy Ulm writes In the Nations
Business. Those for the third quarter
exceeded by 81 per cent receipts of the
same quarter In 1918.
Invention, OF course, did not sus-
pend during the war, but, at least in
volume Of production. II diminished.
And q great proportion of that which
did function related to war objects.
But at noon on November IL. 1918, the
great war became as ancient to the in
ventor rs the Peloponnesian conflicts
of long ago.
In October, 1910 there reached the
division of the patent office handling
metallurgical Inventions total OF 662
applications for patents. In one divi.
sion handling chemical subjects-,here
are several chemical divisions-4S!
applications were filed; In the agricul
tural implement division. 1854 applicn
tons arrived and the division dealing
with vehicle wheels and such appurte
nances received 100 applications, about
one-half Of which related TO resilient
tires. This last item discloses the fact
that inventions for the automobile In.
dustry best reflect the current work OF
the patent Office.
In October. for instance. AL applica.
tons went to the division that handles
automobile engines and parts. That
considering frame work and gearing
received $50.
