ROM statistics issued in relation to pat-
ents and inventions, we notice that
the Connecticut Yankee still preserves his
pre-eminence as an inventor. For the last
few years more patents in proportion to
population have been issued to Connecticut
than to any other State. At present one
man in every 993 inhabitants of Connecti-
cut is an inventor.
Strange to say, the District of Columbia
contains a remarkable number of inventors,
one to every 1,379 of t n e population. This
state of affairs may possibly be explained
on the supposition that many inventors
make a temporary home in the District for
the purpose of forwarding the interests of
their devices.
More patents have been issued from our
Patent Office to British subjects than to the
natives of any other foreign country, the
number being 689.
The natives of Germany come next in
order to those of England in the matter of
taking out patents in this country. The
number of patents issued to subjects of the
Kaiser is 582.
Massachusetts stands next to Connecticut
in the number of its inventors in proportion
to population. In the Bay State one man
in every 1,335 °f t' i e population patents
something every year.
That music hath charms to soothe the
savage breast of the inventor is demon-
strated by the fact that he has taken out 3,-
928 patents on musical instruments, or the
various parts thereof.
South Carolina patents less inventions in
proportion to its population than any other
State. There is only one inventor to
every 25,581 of its population.
Advertising devices have received much
attention at the hands of the inventors,
there being 1,922 patents taken out in this
line.
The annealing and tempering and casting
of metals have called for much attention,
no less than 736 devices for these purposes
having been patented.
There is no State or Territory in the
Union to some of whose citizens patents
have not been granted.
Montana has an unusual number of
inventors for a new State. There is one to
every 1,738 of its population.
