WASHINGTON, March 21.-Tho greatest
patentee In this country and that probably
mean th greatest in tha world la Thomaa
A. Ed lon. Ike hail rolled up the enormous
total of almost 1,000 patents and ahowa no
Inclination to quit.
mk the patent office people who cornea
next to Edison and they will tell you that
nobody Is within hailing distance of tha
wlsard. A good many men can count their
patents by the score, and as some of them
ara much younger than Edison they may
oeat him out In time.
Lp to tha present, however, he deserves
the title of the Great American Patentee.
That means a good deal, for It Is undoubt
edly a fact than an American will take out
a patent on lees provocation than any
other man or woman In tha world.
A a consequence the patent office Is
piling up r, swollen fortune which makes
It a bloated bondholder among tha govern
ment departments. It has achieved a sur
plus of 16,000,000 and la growing richer
every day. Yankee Ingenuity Is gorging
the patent office with records and piling up
models by tha hundred thousand.
The first patent under this government
wsa taken out by Samuel Hopkins, July Jl,
1790. It waa on a process for "making pot
and pearl ashes." Two other patenta were
,. taken out In the same year. One was for
making candles, tha other for making
' flour and meal.
Apparently we as a people took kindly to
the patent Idea from the very start, for we
Jumped from three In 1790 to thirty-three
In 1TO1. On March 11 Samuel Mulllken took
out four all by himself. But on August M
James Ramsey utterly eclipsed Mulllken by
taking out six.
That was tha greatest day the patent
office had known, for within Its limits no
. loss than fourteen patents were Issued to
. aspiring genius. Three of these were on
, .."Improvements In Captain Savary's steam
, engine," and one was taken out by the
1 famous John Fitch for "propelling boats
,.by steam." As eight out of the fourteen
Patenta of that day were for the appllca-
. tlon of steam It almost deserves to be Im
mortalised as a steam anniversary.
The next year there came a decided re.
, action, only eleven patents being Issued In
the entire twelve months, not even as many
as on the one day In August of tha year
. before. In 1796 a word which has become
the commonest In the patent office vacabu
lary began to make Itself conspicuous. It
was "Improvement."
' Out of forty-four patents Issued that year
twenty-seven wera on Improvements of one
thing or another. The next year tha Im-
' provementa numbered forty out of fifty-ono
; patents. v. ' ' ' ' ' '
' There Is an astonishing freriuency of
- French names In the early patent record.
1 About 1S02 they wera generally numer
ous, and they were generally attached to
something rather ambitious In the way of
n Invention.
For Instance, that year Jean Baptists
Avclhs pstfpfl a "machine for raising
water." whlrh Is deecrlbed In the patent
records, with a profusion of exclamation
' points and parentheses, as: (!!! a perpetual
motion!!!) A few- months later another
Frenchman named Marentllle Invented "an
. tnaubmrrslbh boat.',' '
Pills, pills, pills! Our patent medicine
ippetlt la one of long standing, for almost
'ha commonest' object of the early
patentee was some form of pills; antlblllous
pills, cream of tartar pills and so on. One
f tha peculiar descriptions Is of a patent
issued In 1799 for an "effemlnaia ropery for
y plnning ropa yarn."
The present activity In producing mili
tary balloons had a forerunner in 1790 when
"federal balloon" was patented. In the
same year a "check to detect counterfelta"
was patented. And In 1800 a description
i4ook at shoes

personal taste, even character they show.

of a telegraph Instrument, the first appear
ing In the patent records, was filed by
Jonathan Grout, Jr., of Massachusetts.
In the fifteen years betweeen 1790 and 1
only K patents were Issued. That wag
a big number considering the times. The
word "only" Is used, because norr, a cen
tury later, wa are Issuing patenta at the
rate of 1,000 a week!
It waa not until May I, 109, that ft
woman took out a patent. It Is to Mary
Keyes that the honor must be given.
Who she was or where she lived tha
records fall to state. Her patent Is ne.
scribed as "Straw weaving with allk or
thread." For six years Mary was. alone
In her glory as the sole woman patentee
In thla country. Then another woman
cama forward with an idea. This tlma It
wss a corset.
In 1819 a woman patented "cream of tar
tar, carbonated liquid;" In 1523 one of them
pint ed her faith and money to her idea of
a footstove: In 1823 It was weaving gress
hats;" In 1R28 a sheet iron shovel; in 183s
a "calash balloon for ladies;1' In 1834. ex
tracting fur from skins and manufac
turing It Into yarn."
The first Ice cream freescr was added to
the records by a woman In : 1843, and In
1846, If you please, a woman Invented a
"submarine telescope and lamp." The 1849
feminine patent the above list Includes all
taken out by women during this period-
suggests a picture of truly Idyllic Indolence,
It was a "rocking chair with fan attach
ment."
The ladles proceeded to evolve corset
stays, skirts, butter workers snd similar
appropriately feminine devices until one
of them went far afield In 188 and patented
a method of "mounting a fluid lense."
Just what struck Lavinie Foy of Wor
eester. Mass.. In 18S3 Is not quite clear,' but
she broke out with a whole bunch of pat
ents. Whether the war stirred the female
mind to unusual activity or not, the
women took out more and more patents.
There was Clarissa Britain of St. Jo,
Mich..' who took out seven In eighteen
months all by her own sweet Clarlssan self.
Rosenna Carpenter was also extremely
active.
In 1888 there were seventy patents taken
out by women. The number grew to D61 In
1891, and heaven knows what It Is now.
If you want to go over the record of 80,000
patents granted last year nobody will say
you nay. Thafs tho only way you can
And out.
, But after 1894 there was a record com
piled of, patnta Issued to women In the
previous two and a half years, and that
contained hints that women were continu
ing to branch out. During that time they
patented fifteen agricultural Implements,
three motors, three horseshoes, twenty-two
building appurtenances, eight fire escapes,
eight railway appliances. Including one
for unloading box cars; thirty-one forms
of heating apparatus and dozens of
other such articles classed under such
heads as furniture, culinary utensils, trunks
and bags, toys, washing and cleaning,
Lames, baby carriages, art appliances,
sewing, era).
Wearing apparel called forth the largest
exercise of their Ingenuity, 132 patents
being credited to that Item alone. Culinary
utensils came -next with 102 patents. In
fact, tha patent records seem to show that
the enternal feminine Is as substantial a
verity as ever.
It Is rather surprising to find that the
patents credited to foreign, woman are as
a rule of a more scientific and unfemlnlne
class. French women ara especially notice
able in this direction, being credited In the
United States office with such patents as
aluminum solder and a process ' of mak
ing anhydrous tannlo acid.
Smokeless Coal.
A I.ondon ' Inventor claims to have' dis
covered a process for producing smokeless
coal, apparently by distillation of coal at
n low temperature. This, after filtration,
la said to deposit a very brilliant substance,
tha heating properties of which are far
greater than those of the original coal,
and which Is absolutely free from smoke
and dirt. The Inventor contenda that
efforts to overcome the smoke plague have
hitherto been unsuccessful, because they
have been mii'o In the wrong direction,
and that bv ine extraction of the smoke
producing material In coal before being
burned, he has been successful In produc
ing a smokeless coal. Sir W. B. Richmond,
president of the Society for the Prevention
of Smoke, has bought up this Invention.

Forest Lsrnbrr anal Bags, Cengre-s-

ness Tips for tho Asking.
This Is a mighty paternal government
ther la no mistake about It. It aires away
no end of things to the pwP' without
charging a penny for them; and It almost
seems as If one could get anything one
wants simply by writing to Washington
and asking for It.
Last year the forest service gave away
176,000,000 board feet of lumber, cut in the
national forest reserves mostly to settlers
for home-bulldlng purposes. It will dis
tribute an equal quantity this year, and so
on right along In the future. Thla Is One
purpose for which the national forests are
set aside and maintained. But the service
does a great deal more than that for peo
ple. If you own a tract of naked hillsides,
or covered with sand-dunes, It will help
you to clothe It with trees. Or, If you pos
sess timber lands. It will look them over
and give you detailed plans for their eco
nomical management.
It Is much the same way If you happen
to have on your land a stream or a big
Dond. The government will stock .it for
you without charging you a cent, forward
ing the little fishes, 1.000 or so In a batch,
by rail, expressage paid. Tou are at lib
erty to choose the kind of fish you want,
so long as they are a species appropriate
to the locality. Uncle Sam would not pre-
sent you with a lot f shad for planting In
a pond, nor with young codfish for a fresh
water stream. It Is through one's con
gressman that one should apply In case
you want anything of this sort. Instruc
tions for planting and feeding the flshea
will accompany them.
Farm Helps.
If you are a farmer and are troubled with
grasshoppers, the Bureau of Animal Indus
try will furnish you with some very deadly
microbes, put up In bottles, with Instmc
tlons as to how to utilize them for the pur
pose of Introducing a destructive plague
among the Insects. Indeed, no matter what
kind of bug Is bothering you, the govern
ment will, at least, suggest a remedy, and
It may be able to provide you with some
of Its Insect enemies. It was In this way
that the orange Industry of California was
saved a few years ago, by the help of a
small beetle Imported from Australia; and
at the present time the Bureau of Entomol
ogy Is hunting all over the world for para
sites of the gypsy moth, the Ban Jose scale,
and other pests, with a view to distributing
them In Infested localities.
Again. If you grow peas and beans, or
clover, for market, you may greatly aug
ment your stock by sowing the land with
a special breed of microbes which form
colonies on the roots of the plants and
enable the latter to absorb nitrogen . from
the air. The plant bureau will send yeu
a good slsed package of these microbes If
you choose to ask for them, and will tell
yqu, how to breed them, for yourself, so
that from the small quantity provided you
can propagate them In any quantity desired.
Having tdono so, all you have to do Is
sprinkle the water containing the germs
over your fields, or else soak in it the seed
you are going to plant.
Likewise, without charge, the Depart
ment of Agriculture sends out through the
malls little .bottles of "antitoxins," with
which to inoculate cattle and other do
mestic animals for the prevention and cure
of certain diseases. But tha most re
markable of the giving done by this
branch of the government has to do with
new varieties of fruit, grains and vege
tables, which, as fast as they are de
veloped through scientific experimenta
tion, are put first In the hands of a few
selected . farmers for practical trial, and
finally placed at the disposal of every
body. A single new variety of wheat ex
ceptionally productive, has been made in
this way to add millions of bushels to the
output of that cereal in one state.
Congressional Seeds.
The annual appropriation made by con
tress for the purchase of useful seeds, to
be distributed free among the people, has
bean steadily Increased until at the pres
ent time It amounts to something like
1188,000 a year. This amount of money
buys enough seeds to fill 38,000,000 paper
packets, In the putting up of which ma
chlhery of the most Ingenious kind is
employed. The seeds, arriving in sacks
at the government barn in Washington
are dumped into huge hoppers, from which
they pour down through chutes Into queer
looking mechanical contrivances. Each of
these contrlvsnces fills 3,500 paper bags
an hour, a tiny scoop dumping into each
bag the exact measure required. Then
metal hand which acts with an Intelll
gence almost human, rises from beneath,
grasps each envelope by the bottom and
passes It beneath a roller, sealing It with
paste Incidentally and throwing It Into
a basket. The packets put up In this way
are made up Into bundles of five, the final
touch being to put on a label that bears
the congressman's frank. He furnishes
the addresses.
If you have lost an arm or a leg In th
service of the country, whether fighting
for It or in civil life, tha government
will make you a new one every three years.
And, If you would rather have the money
you are at liberty to accept f75 In place
of a leg, or 150 instead of an arm. A lost
hand or foot, likewise, Is worth 00 to you
every three years. If the Injury was re
ceived while working for Uncle Bam. Over
I, WO persons lacking a leg and Z.8 0 lack
Ing an arm draw their limbs regularly, or

partmentt Most of them prefer the cash
especially where amis are concerned, be
cause, though false legs are quite service
able, artificial arms are of small use ex
cept for ornament. Furthermore, It should
he mentioned that, when a recipient of
this kind of bounty wants to cct a new
arm or leg, he can go to any city in the
union for It, the government paying his1
far both ways. Including passage on a
Pullman.
. Aids for Castaways.
In case you are making a voyage at and
passage to the nearest convenient seaport.
Supposing that you happen to be cist
away anywhere on the shores of this coun
try, you will be fed, taken care of and
treated with medicines. If you need them,
at the nearest life-saving station, all with
out a penny of cost to yourself. Indeed,
the government frequently engage In
charitable work on an enormous scale Just
ss. for example. It gave a great sum of
money, as well as other help, for the rescue
of the sufferers by the earthquake at Baa
Francisco. Congress Is always generous
on such occasions, but In an emergency,
If congress Is not in session, the president
does not hesitate to sign an order on the
treasury on his own responsibility tor any
amount that may be required. In one such
ease IIOO.COO .out of the appropriation for
rivers and harbors was expanded In suc
coring the survivors of the great Missis
sippi overflow.
The weather bureau, in addition to giv
ing away fl .500,0iX) worth of weather pre
dictions every year, which are of the great
est practical use to farmers, to mariners,
to shippers of perishable products and to
ever so many other people, testa, without
charge, mariners' Urometers for accuracy.
Likewise tha hydrographlc office of the
navy makes gratuitous tests of compass
and chronometers for skippers, and the
bureau of standards test weights and
measures of all kinds for manufacturer
and other business men. The latter bureau.

Information for the Asking.
Information of all kinds the government
distributes gratis. The bureau of manu
facturers has commerlcal Information, In
dexed on millions of alphabetically ar
ranged cards, telling what tha people In
every town In the world, big or small, want
to buy, and how much they consume. Any
body, merchant or manufacturer, whi
wants to know about such matters, has
only to writs to the bureau, and he wlil
get an answer by return mall. In the sama
way the bureau is able to tell him about
horn trade opportunities what clas-ei of
buyers for different goods are to be f und
In any town or district In this country,
what their wants are, and in what shape
the merchandise should be sent.

which is sent free to any business man who
wants It. Its work Is supplemented by the
foreign markets bureau of the Department
of Agriculture, which makes a special
study of the foreign demand for our. farm
products. In fact there is no end to the
useful information one may get from the
government free of charge. The Patent
office will act as your patent attorney if
you write to It direct, sending an applica
tion, with a rough sketch of your inven
tion. The bureau of pomology wilt tell you
how to pack perishable fruit and veg

SEND DOLLARS AFTER CENTS
Lav Snlts Over Trifles that Cost
. Small Fortune Before They
Were Settled.
Many men, level-headed enough about
other things, seem to lose their wits en-
tlrely when they get tangled up In a Jaw-
suit. In a case recently concluded In the
German court a Berlin business man paid
out over J900 to recover the value of a S-ce-.it
postage stamp, and now everybody is laugh
Ing at lilm because h didn't even get the
stamp back. It seems as If this claimant
had Justice on his side, too; he had written
polite letter asking for an address and
inclosing postage for reply. Falling to get
an answer, he sued for the stamp.
i tie lamous Missouri watermelon case
was Just as trifling and even more dis
astrous. Th seed was planted on one
farm, but the vine crept through a crack
In the rail fence and th melon grew on
the other side. Both farmers claimed It,
and Instead of seeing the Joke they went
to law. To add to the puxxle of owner
ship an additional complication, the fence
was on a county line and a question of
the Jurisdiction, of course, was Involved.
The farmer bankrupted themselves with
out deciding the question of ownership. The
melon, worth about 10 cent In the first
place, had disappeared long before.
The Iowa case which concerned the iden
tity of a red and white heifer calf, was
equally disastrous. 'It is said that sub
poenas were issued for more than 200 wit
nesses, who attended court after court and
received their fees and milage. The ques
tion of who owned the calf grew from i
Joke Into a neighborhood tragedy. Per
fectly honest men and women took th wit
ness stand and swore against each other.
So great was the puscle that Jury after Jury
was unable to agree and no man knows to
this day whetter there were two spotted
calves that looked Just alike, or whether
one tried to steal the other's calf. After
they had spent all their money In litigation
the rival owners met one day and tossed
a coin to settle the case.
How the cost ran up In these trivial
actions was shown In a Canadian case. By
one of those queer marriage settlements
sometime made in England a young man
agreed to pay his wife's mother flOO on the
first day of every year. He settled in
Canada, and when he came to make th
remittance he deducted the amount of the
money order and sent her only $59.81 Th
motlier-ln-law Insisted that she must have
the other It cent and after a month or
two she had her attorneys bring suit against
htm In the Ontario courts. She made him
pay, too, and stuck him for the cost of
the action, though she wa obliged to fee
her own lawyers. The total expanse of
this It-cent lawsuit were said to be exactly
$812, most of which fell upon the economical
son-in-law.
One of the celebrated French cases wis
over a 2-cent toy balloon, and the litigants
were Baron de Elbert and the Pari Metro
politan railway. The balloon belonged to
the baron's little girl, and the railway em
ployes on account of some rule they felt
obliged to enforce would not permit It
brought Into the passenger car. The
baron stormed and threatened, but the
guard was obdurate, and Jfie toy waa left
behind while the child wept. Th next day
the nobleman sued the company for the
cents.
Some of the smartest lawyers In Paris
were engaged in the case. It was proved
that the balloon wa filled with ga, and
that It was likely to- explode at any time,
and the wise court held that even if It
expluslon could not possibly be attended
by danger, it might "create a panic among
the passengers" and the decision waa
against the baron. He spent hundreds o
dollars trying to get even with the com
puny, and tl x more he lost the less satis
faction he obtained.
The most expensive lawsuit In the world
la said to hate been that over the will of
Antonio Traversa, a merchant who lived
at Milan. lie left a fortune of $3,000,000,
end there were a large number of heirs
with conflicting Interests. The esse was
In the different courts of Italy for years,
and the 106 lawyers engaged In It ran up
costs aRnrcgatlng mora than $?.OJ0.CU). Tha
estate lost Id value, tuo. during the con
test, so that the winning heirs found them
selves witli a small sum to their sham
when the final decision was rendered.
One of-the most persistent complainant
on record was the aged Belgian lawyer
who onqe tried to ride In n Antwerp
street car or "tramway" on a ticket wlilc
he maintained wa good, but which th
company refused to honor. He brought
suit against them next day and the court
decided against blip. He paJd his costs,
only a trifle, snd the next time he got on
the car he offered the same ticket. It
waa refused, and again he haled the com
pany into court.
As he was his own lawyer and the ticket
wes his witness, H wss not an expenslv
course of litigation for him, but It cost the
company something. As often a he would
be thrown out of court he would offer th
ticket again and establish grounds for
new case. At last the tramway company
saw a great light. They accepted th ticket
one day and let th lawyer rid. Cht ()
