PUT ON THEIR GUARD.

American Patentees Warned Against English Swindlers. London, Oct. 31.—Owing to complaints received by the United States ambassador, by the lord mayor of London and other officials, the police of Scotland Yard and the officials of the United States legation have broken up the swindling operations of a firm of patent lawyers doing business in Chancery lane. In addition the United States embassy warns American inventors not to answer circulars offering to obtain English patents unless they are satisfied that these letters come from duly authorized patent agents.
