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.

and to mako war so dangerous that on

Tho now woapon is tho small calibre

Its calibre is but oicht millimctors and
itfl rango is 12,500 foot, or 2C00 foet

Tho minority of tho ComtnUtco on
ways and moans, being unable to agree
with tho majority in reporting nndro

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

years of continuous protoction by Gov
erment taxation for their support, a

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

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.

over rooks and through forests his
company came to a tolerably well
built houso in a circular hollow, where
there were perhaps hvo acres of ar

and catching sight of the uniforms,

Tho main road passes through a

Ulhoo may, by the assent of both part
ies, decide the question of priority and
grant a patent to tho new applicant if
ho proves priority.
If the assent of both parties is not
given, tho Patent Olllco may tako ex
parte testimony from tho applicant
and givo him a patont if ho proves a
dato of invention earlier than tho dato
of tho filling of the application of tho
hrst patentee. A simi'ar provision ap
plies to rejected casr i and connoting
applications. Whoever proves by ex
parte testimony that h's invention was
made beforo tbo dato ot tho tiling ot
tho application cited against him, is to
receive a patent.
This section if adopted would put
an end to a vast amount ot litigation
now carried on beforo tho Patent
Ofllcc, under tho general designation
of intorferenco proceedings: it would
turn over nearly all questions ot prior

tho tax is not paid, tho patont ceases.
Ono of the important differences be

given it holds good for tho ontiro timo
