RIGHTS UNDER A PATENT. Each of the Three Constitutes a Separate Monopoly. To make, to use and to sell are the rnly ways In which an invention is eapable of commercial enjoyment. The patentee can, if he wishes, sit lown and not only not use the indention himself, but prevent others 'rom making or using or selling the patented thing. If any one else nakes, uses or sells the subject of the patent the courts will grant the pat?ntee an injunction against further nfrlngement and a recovery of the profits made. " *- tUxAA * ! erV* t a t A fiitl'Il Ul llicnc UIJCC ugaiio fcv make, to use and to sell?Is a separate monopoly and may. by proper initrun snts, be granted or sold sepaately. For Instance, a patentee of a nachlne could grant to a manufacurer the exclusive right to make the nachlnes for him (of course under proper restrictions as to price, etc.), md the manufacturer would be an nfringer if he used the machines or told them to others. The patentee :ould then grant to a jobber the exUusive right to sell-the machines (referring proper compensation to himself. such as a percentage of the profts). and the jobber would be an in'ringer if he either made or used the machine. The exclusive right to use he machines could then be granted :o a given consumer, who In turn ivould have no right to make or sell !he machines. The exclusive right to use an invention for each of several given purposes can be separately sold. For instance. a patentee of a process for making watch dials not only sold the ixclusive right to make watch dials by that process, but he also sold to a separate company the exclusive right to use the process in making enameled signs under the same patent. The ivatch manufacturer would have been an infringer if he had made 3igns and vice versa, the sign manufacturer would have been restrained from making watch dials. A process of drying gunpowder was found to be applicable to drying breakfast foods, and' the owners after getting all they had ever looked for from the patent from the gunpowder rights reaped a second and unexpected harvest from the sale of the rights for breakfast foods. The rights under a patent for a machine can be divided In the same way.?Edwin J. Prlndle In Engineering Magazine. LAWS IN CHINA. They Take No Account of the Intentions of the Accused. The incompatibility of laws based /JU'oeuo nU'dlrrutinnu iu nniV'hPTP more marked than In China, says Hosea B. Morse in the Atlantic. There no bankruptcy law is possible. If a debtor's own estate will not suffice to pay his debts the deficiency must be made good by his father, brothers or uncles; if a debtor absconds his immediate family are promptly imprisoned: if the debtor returns he is put in prison and kept there indefinitely, so lung as he can find money for his daily food until releused by payment in full or by death. This is the law. When in 1895 Admiral Ting found himself forced to surrender Welhalwel ;inil his; h** committed suipidp. By this courageous step, technically dying before surrender, he saved his immediate family?father, mother, sons and daughters?from decapitation and their property from confiscation, the penalty when a commander surrenders an imperial fortress. This is the law. When in the old days an English gunner caused the death of a Chinese by firing a salute from a cannon from which by oversight the ball had not been removed, he was seized, tried and executed. And in 1839. when in the course of a disturbance with English and American sailors at Canton a Chinese was killed, the authorities demanded that if the guilty person could not be detected and executed the whole party should be handed over for execution. This is the law. Intention is never taken into account. A dollar for a dollar, an eye for an eye, a life for a life, and all for the emperor and his representatives? this is the law of China. THE LOOMS OF INDIA. Wonderful Work That Haa'Been Don By the Natives. The manufacture of cotton in Indl dates back to its earliest history. Ther are allusions to It connected with Indl In the Bible. In old Sanskrit record mention Is made of It being used 1 India nearly 3,000 years ago. At th time of Alexander's invasion of Indl the dress of the Hindoos was describe as consisting largely of calicoes, pur white or having figures. Among th Imports Into Europe during the firs century, enumerated by the elde Pliny, muslins and calicoes from Indl are described as of superior quality. Perhaps the earliest notice of col ton Is by Herodotus, about 450 B. C who speaks of . the trees of Indl bearing as their fruit fleeces mor delicate and beautiful than those c sheep and of the Indians using ther for the manufacture of cloth. Fror India cotton cloth was gradually ir troduced into Greece, Rome and Sic ily before the Christian era. Cotto awnings were used in the theatre e the Apollinarlan games, and Caesa afterward covered the Roman forur with them, as also the sacred wa from his own house to the Capitolia hill, which is said to have appeare more wonderful than the gladiatoriE exhibition itself. The cotton fabrics of the Hindoo have been excelled in fineness an excellence only by the production of the most perfect machines of mod em times. By these people wer made the fine muslins known to th Greeks by a name which referred t their coming from the borders of th Ganges. The city of Calicut, on the Malaba coast, which, with Surat, was an an oiont onttnn morl fnr thp tinnnlv n the more western nations of Ash gave its name to the variety of th fabric known as "calico." Kom qualities of these were "so fine tha one could hardly feel them in th hand, and the thread when spun I scarcely discernible." Dacca, one a considerable and wealthy city, ly ing to the northeast of Calcutta, ser out from its looms In the early cen turles those wonderful tissues of fin muslins made from a staple too shoi to be woven by any machinery, name on account of their fineness "Abra wan," or. "flowing water," and "Shat man," or "evening dew." Even after the advent of the Er gllsh in India there is an instance re corded regarding the fineness of piece of muslin twenty yards Ion and one quarter yard wide, weighln, only fourteen ounces. With the rud est of implements the Hindoo wome spun those almost impalpable thread and wove fabrics that for fineness c quality have never been successful! imitated elsewhere. With the deca of the native Hindoo courts the chit customers, the demand ceased, an the manufacture has entirely stoppei Dacca today exhibits little more tha a ruin. Weaving in India divides nseir in to two branches?hand loom an power loom weaving. The propor tion of hand loom made cloth to pow er loom Is fully two to one?that ii there is about twice as much han loom cloth made in India as there I power loom made cloth. The native hand loom Is a mos primitive affair. The Indian han loom as It now Is is the same as I was some thirty centuries ago. Th old English fly shuttle hand loom c a century ago is ages in advance c the hand loom now in general use b the native weavers throughout Indlj Of course there are a number of fi shuttle looms In successful use in cei tlan localities for Instance thos now in the mission schools, first In troduced by the Danish or Germa Lutheran missionaries In Madras, an though in some instances they hav met with a certain degree of succesj yet they have not succeeded in indue ing the native weaver to take to th "fly shuttle," in the same business like way as was done In Europe an in America in the days of our grant] parents. The power loom can make cloth. I not possibly better, certainly cheape; than the hand loom, but on accour of the disability under which mant facture labors In India the powe loom is not worked to Its full produc tlve capacity. Outside competition and advance ment in the art of weaving will event ually force the improvement of th Indian power loom weaver and wit the coming of that condition will wit ness the beginning of the end of th hand loom Industry. It is claimed b the more conservative that it is pei haps well that India should keep t the hand loom, but this Is the sam economic question that has so ofte arisen In other and more advance nations. American and Europea countries have had to face it befoi now, and as they have solved it s may India.?New York Herald. ? ? A RAILROAD WONDER. New Air Line Which Runs Under ground For Many Miles.

Not One Sane Man Out of 1,000 actually believes I that it is possible to buy $1.00 in 1 value for less than $1.00 when he J starts out to buy anything of recog- ' nized value except life insurance. Most sane men know that unless they keep their eyes open they are liable . to pay $1.25 for $1.00 in value. There [ is no mystery about the apparent 3 lack of business sense in connection with the purchase of life Insurance, < > and it is accounted for on the ground < 5 that 99 out of every 100 buy life in. sura nee from an agent instead of from c a company, taking the agent's word ' for the claim that the company he ] may be representing is the one that , holds the record for everything calcu. Intod In he to the Interest of the in . sured, when It may be a fact that that same agent has represented as many as a half dozen different companies In as many years, and made the same claim for each In turn, and has changed companies from time to time because he knows from experience that people buy insurance from the agent instead of because of any actually known merit of his company, and believes that It Is to his present financial . Interest to work for the company that pays him the largest commission. We have been trying to represent the Mutual Benefit for nearly eight years, notwithstanding the fact that it pays Its agents a smaller commission than . any company doing business in the < > State. We depend entirely on the J company's policy contracts and Its . sixty-two years' record for honorable , } dealing with all members, for busl- , ness. We stick to It because we . s know we can prove it Is the best policy-holder's company in business, and ' that every man we Insure Is certain to be satisfied, and will be certain to help spread the good work.
