ing to Woosh r lie said with emphasis as he
shouted: “I i that plain enough'/” “No,”
said Wooster. “Well.” said Ilorner. “You
are a liar.” The house was in an uproar.
Wooster asked the chairman If one mends r
could call another a liar. The chair asked
the g«*nt lemen to refrain from persona I Hie*.

IOWA PATENT OFFICE REPORT.
Dt.sMoiNP.8, Feb. 19. — In the revised 5
rules of practice in the Fnited States
patent office hearing date of February
9, 1897, occurs the following: "It it
the design of the constitution ami tli -
patent laws to secure to the inventor
not that which is a matter of common
rigid, nor tiie property of another, but
what he has himself created. The
duty of the office is to grant nothing
which already belongs to the domain
of tiie public, lint, on the other hand,
not to withhold from the inventor any
portion of the full benefit of h:s
invention, its function is to draw the
line with even justice between the
two. ' A patent for an invention i
synonymous with u patent or deed for
land. ’I he latter lives tiie meter and
bounds of tiie laud so the owner know .
where it is relative to adjoining lard.
A patent for an Invention points out
i and distinguishes it from other inven
Ition and subject matter relating te
tin* same art to which it belongs
Surveyor* sometimes vary in living
corners unit litigation results. I no
scope of ii claim to a putcut is some
times disputed in court. Hut there
Is much less litigation in regard
to titles to inventions than
there is about real estate.
