The Costa Rica Earthquakes.
Panama, Fel). 14. The details of the
recent earthquakes in Costa Rica, as pub
lished in the Costa Rican papers, which
have reached here, corroborate the report
sent out in the Associated press dispatch
briefly several weeks ao. Tiie city of
San Jose and other cities were terribly
damaged. "Whole streets are blockade I
with ruins and people camped in the
streets and public squares, fearing to re
enter the shattered houses on account of
the constantly recurring shocks. The
monetary loss in the city of San Jose
alone is over 2,000,000. At Lacuna n
extraordinary geological phenomenon
took place, the earth assuming the ap
pearance of a rough sea. A father and
four children were buri-'d alive in a cre
vice, while the mother and one child
were thrown a distance of a thousand
meters. All over thj district the hills
have changed tlu-ir position, and tin
ground is full of cracks. Irazu volcano
is in a state of eruption.
The Barb Wire Patents.
Sr. Louis, Mo., Feb. 1 4. A most im
portunt discovery h is been iui I j lure
that the control of barbed wire patents is
not vested in any American firm or cor
poration, because the device of the barb
ed wire was patented in France by Louis
Janen on April 19, 1805. The law of
this country, as declared by the United
States supreme court, is that "a foreign
patent for the same thin or a description
of a thing in a foreign publication is as
effectual to void a patent ns if the
patentee had seen the prior invention,
notice to him not being important." If
this decision holds, and there is no ap
peal from it, the claims ot certain persons
for royalty under the Glidden and other
barbed wire patents are void, and all
money payed to them by barb wire man
ufacturers who had interest in the Glid
den patents, is believed to be subject to
recovery.
