In the chronicles of ancinet history are references to implements to pulverize grain for food, instruments of war, and weapons to slay animals—the pounding stone, the sling shot and the spear. Such devices were the result of men’s efforts to preserve their lives, and to defend themselves against savages' and wild animals. Man is

With Alma Rubens, Edmund Lowe, Lon Tellcgen,
up of a combination of two factors, j axtFemely keen, and his record of
“experiments” covers ever con-
seivable subject.
Reference is made at one place that “the Lucanians in ancient times tied with many strings to a man, at some distance, many great fouls, and fixed to his body divers feathers, thin and close. The fifither extension of this experiment may be thought upon.” Since the printing press the Gutenberg which has so assisted the human race to gain education, the extent of the part hte thinker and inventor has played in the material progress of the woi’ld is impossible to estimate; and it is equally hard to picture the effect of the inventor’s work on the people, individually and collectively. Tne long esiamisher rignt of tht jrown to grant exclusive privndget. was exercised by Elizabeth, in .ne grant or oeneats to inventors and uiscoverers. vvnile tne graais were saiutary and were eneetive .a tne encouragement ot inventive genius, the preqgative was so aoused that favorites were even given exclusive rignis to purvey ,ne necessaries of life, uiners were restrained from engaging m jccupatious mat would couiUet with me wishes of royal favomies. ,n 16zs, King James agreed thatm* future aif exclusive giants to .nventors would be tor articles oi nanuracture. Aitho for many years mis iaf was interpreted m a manner hostile to inventors’ in.erests, and omy a thousand patents were issued in one hunareu and fifty years, it marked tne inception and beginning of a patent system,—the first in the world. Then Watt succeeded in harness mg machinery to steam and Arkwright Imched spuming to machinery. Such a crop of intringement suits followed mat the courts oecame fierce battlefields. The judges began to realize that inventors were public benefactors, worthy of all honors and material rewards. Holding this attitude they laid the foundation of modern patent practice, and the inructriai
sra that followed
The idea came to America with .he empire building of Jamestown and Cape Cod, and in 1641 the colony of Massachusetts granted to Samuel Winslow a patent for a new method of making salt In
the animal and the spiritual, or mortal and immortal. Christ was incomparably plastio, and able to
adjust himself.
In the dark ages, and even the middle ages, men had little time to devote to anything other than the battle of self-preservation against the forces of nature which were qot well understood, and against the attacks of savages; and against the oppression of misguided and cruel power of inhumanity in religous fanaticism. Intellecual development made slight headway. Derision, scorn, punishment, and even death, were the tolls imposed upon men who dared
to utter an idea.
Results of mental progress, due to constructive thinking by the comparatively few, began to be appieciated by civilization in the S6I011U half of the fourteenth century, and concerrently with the time when John Wycnf labored to assist in th relief of the peasantry in England who were oppiessed by royalty and religous fanatics and
bigots.
In his movement for combating the corruptions of the Church, ami to make his appeal more effective {with the masses, Wychff corrmcncled the translation of the Bible into English (the Bible at that Cme be.ng in the hands of the priests, , in Latin form.) His task was I Completed in 1J>T. Wycliffs ccijtge was burned by the church. His ashes were trown into a brock ncai the parsonage in which ne I lived and labored, in order that no trace might remain of tl^o archheretic. He is, nevertheless, re-, jg&rced as the father of the Eng- | Usli reformation, and his spirit {has moved as a beacon light leatllinly the way to man’s uplift aud
i freedom.
j in lc?7 Richard II came to the Throne of England. During these times lords and ladles ate from
ventions from abroad.) The law that followed was signed by him on April 10, 1790. It departed from the English usage in that an example of the proposed patent was required, and when the person got his patent it was prima facie evidence that the invention had been described correctly. The first patent commission was composed of the secretaries of state and war Three month elapsed before the first applicant for a patent appeared Then Samuel Hopkins was granted a patent for a new method of making pot and pearl ashes, (July 31, 1790), the first of nearly one and one-half millions that have followed in its train. Three years later another act was passed, (1793) and the secretary of state became the final authority as to whether a patent should be issued. Privileges were denied foreigners, but this feature was partially restored in 1800. In 1819 Congress conferred on the Circuit courts the right to protect the holder of a patent from ingringe-
ment. ^
The germ of invention became very active in the American mind m the thirties. The railroad train and the electric telegraph became realizations. This progress lead to enactment of a new law in 1836, a law which has been pronounced L he most important event in American history from the adoption of .he Constitution to the opening of ae Civil war. Before that time 1.0,000 patents were granted. Since then more than a million have oeen granted. Under the act of 1836 the aPtent office was established. The office of commissioner of patents was created: and the big doric-column-ad buildinng which has served as emple of invention ever since was authorized. Inventions of Americans since that day have led the world. Following are the outstanding inventions since the first steam Jerry in 1811: The first prastical locomotive, 1831; screw propeller steamship, 1838; revolver, 1836; Morse telegraph first user, 1844; first practical trpewriter patent, L843; air brake, 1867; sewing machine; harvester machine, gas lights first used in 1816; gatling 5un, 1862; steel converter, 1868; phonograph, 1878; incandescent fight, 1879 (patented 1880); cash register; telephone, frist to Chicago from New York, 1893; across continent, 1915; electric trolley, 1892; automobile (selden, 1895; wideless, first across Atlantic in 1915; and since have come the leroplane and radio.

The Germans, in the invention of printing, supplied means by which the new knowledge of all kinds could be diffused readily. And Germany, as the home of Copernicus, gave birth to the astronomi-
cal discoveries.
In England, the passing away of
fuedalism made the merchants class of more importance, and tended to replace the aristocracy
of birth by that of wealth. In 1476 Caxton set up the first
printing press in London. Henry VIII acceded to the throne in 1509. He was a musician, lover of architecture, and patron of painters, poets and learned men. The formal beginning of the Reform of Europe is dated from 1517, when Martin Luther nailed to the door of the church in Wittenburglj. his attack upon the power of the Pope. In
1534 Henry quarreled , with Pope. After his" death came
