Avoid dUJuHuit dmler. bee. la Aug. 8. Quito a number of bills liavo boon introduced In Congress for tlio nmond- mont of tho patent lawf, one of which (II. It. 9953) wo will now briefly ro vlow. Tlio firet section is to tho effect that patents mny bo insucd and will bo valid, provided tho invention ia now nnd has not been patented or described in any printed publication beforo tho invention or disoovery theroof by tho applicant. Tho second neotion provides that no paiom shall imiynueu lor tn invention already patented in a foreign country, unless thu patent shall bo applied for within two years from thu dato of tho oirlicst foreign palui.t. As tlio law now bttnils, an Ameri can patent may bo granted at any timo during the term of tho foreign patont, provided tho invention has not been In uso for tnoro than two years. Tho second action also provides that tho American patont issuod ns abovo shall run for 17 years from tho dato of tno earliest foroign patent. under tlio present law the American patent expires whon tho oarliest for eign paiout expires. This is a good amendment and should bo adopted. Tho third seotion provides that an in ventor, alter describing his invention in tho specification, may uso such lan guago in stating his claims as ho pro- lers. Wo do not oxactlv iterccivo tho ob ject or valuo of this amendment As tho law now stands, tho inventor miy uso suoh languago as ho prefers in pre senting tus claims, it is trno, tno cx attuning oflicor, in rainy oases, objects to tho wording of claims, and inven tors are subjected to long delays in an swering and overcoming those objec tions. If tho object of tho amend ment is to compel tho examiners to al low patents upon whatever tho inven tor choosos to present, the amendment should state so explicitly. ouch an amend ir eft, it carried into effeot, would make a sweoping ohmgo in tho present practico of tho oflico. It wouu render unnefoisary the present cumbersome system of oflicial exami nations. It would givo to ovorv appli cant a patont, and Icavo to tho courts the settlement of tho question whether tho patent was valid or wo thloss. This is tho way thoy doal with patents in nearly all other countries, and tho plan works well. It makes the inventor his own ex aminer, and if lie chooses to take a patent for an old device, it is his own atlair. it is too opinion of many that this is tho best method, aud sooner or later it must be adopted in our Patont Oflioo. Section 5 provides that all assign ments, licenses, and oonvoyances of patents shall be void against any sub sequent mortgage or purchaser, unless rooorded within threo months from date. By this provision a bona fide pur- chasor and actual possessor of a patont may bo deprived ot his property with out compensation. To accomplish tins it is only ncces sary for the former owner to giyo a second deed to another party aud place it on record, tho first deed, perhaps through ignorance of tho holder, over sight, or tnok played rpon him, hav ing boon kept away fiot record for three months, This section needs amendment bo as to prevent injustice to tho first bona Jute purchaser. Section G provides that aliens, rest dent hero a year and having declarod intentions ot (.ltizenslup, may mo cav oats. At present two years' residence is required. section 7 provides that when an ap duoe it hero. If tho object of this soctton Is to out oil nnd extinguish patents that oertain porsons oonsidur to bo good for noth Ing, If suoh extinguishment is deslr ablo, then tho pronor and bettor way to cilect it would ba to provide by law that any holder of n patent who de sires to surrender and cancel tho same may do so, and shall, on maklntj suoh- surrender, rooolvo back tho sum of twenty dollars, being part of tho gov ernment fee orimnally paid in. It would bo better to repay something to tho patontco, in order to oauool his patent, rather than oppress him with taxes after liavlntr given him tho pat ont. ikientlic American. Germany's New Gun. Tho now gun with which tho Ger man infantty is to bo equipped bids fair to rovolutionizo infantry tactios and to mako war so dangerous that on listmonts will bo a matter of difficulty. Tho now woapon is tho small calibre repeating gun of tho model of losa. Its calibre is but oicht millimctors and itfl rango is 12,500 foot, or 2C00 foet greater than that of the weapon whoso placo it takes.

Tho minority of tho ComtnUtco on ways and moans, being unable to agree with tho majority in reporting nndro cornondiug tho MoKlnloy tariff bill, submitted their report showing the ovils of tho bill. Among the items enuuioratod aro tbo following. According to tho stalomonta mado beforo' tho committee, tho protootod in dustrics of the oountry have novor beon at any timo in our History in suoh a depressed and disoouraging condition as thoy aro now. After nearly thirty years of continuous protoction by Gov erment taxation for their support, a groat many of them aro reportod to bo on tho very vorgo of bankruptcy and ruin, while vorv few of them, accord- to tho testimony, aro yiolding a fair profit on the capital invested. A great many of tho parlies engaged in these industries havo deolared in tho oourso ot our investigation that tho slightest rodnction in tbo ratos of duty now im posed upon oompoting toroign products would compel thorn to close their necossary to enable somo of our man ufacturing establishments to carry on their business and supply tho goods thoy aro now making for thoir custo mers! butif this bill passes nnd tho samo quality is imported next year it will oost tho pooplo S797,771,G1 in addition to tho valuo of tho hair itsolf. Tho imposition of this duty, llko tho imposition of all other duties on raw materials, works a doublo injury. In the first place, it Imposes nn unnecessary burden upon tlio consumers, who in tho end pay all tho dntirs with profits ad ded) and, in tho socond place, it destroys tho nower of tho domestic manufacturer to compoto with his foreign rival in tho production of tho goods into which tho taxed material is converted.

Ono of the important differences be tween our patent law and thoso of oth er countries is that whon a patent is given it holds good for tho ontiro timo without taxes or co ml'. ions of any kind.
