Thanking you for your very liberal patronage during the Fall and Winter season, and soliciting a continuance of the of the same, I am, as ever, iMoa Wneatley. SUCK PATENT FAKIRS. THE HARM THEY DO AND THE DECEIT THEY USE. Ambitious. Hardworking In..nt.tr* Are Tholr Victim*—They Generally Ope rot* by Publishing » Paper —What They Prmnl** mi.I How They Avoid the Law. Of the making of patents there is no end, like the tnakiug of books. The bookmaker and the patentee are half brothers, the one making machines for the convenience of the mind, and the other making things for the convenience of bund. Both see throngh the same glass, and both see the illusive vision of wealth and fume. The distinction is that bookmaking mid patentmaking, which are failures, produce an army of desperate cranks, whose persistence of purpose is equaled only by the useless ness or impracticability of the book or patent. This age of invention has, how ever, produced one class of inventors called “fakirs,” which derives a liveli hood by its schemes to draw tho coins from the pockets of the better class of inventors. The patent fakir in some cities is be coming nnmerous, prosperous and bold. It is only a question of time nntil con gress will have to suppress him. The “patent fakir,” as distinguished from the legitimate agent, is so called because he runs an agency that is a pure fake. Any one can become a fakir, and be doesn't need much knowledge of either patent laws or mechanical laws. The legitimate patent agent is a man of wide knowledge, easily commanded. The fakir simply rents a suite of rooms and pnts np bis sign. Then he frequent ly begins the publication of u patent paper. It isn't necessary for the paper to have any circulation, bat is a good idea to send ont several hundred sample copies to known inventors. Then he watches legitimate patent journals closely, and the publications and reports of the patent office, and when an invention is found that it is possible, he thinks, to induce its originator to back it np to the bottom «f bis purse, he writes him a ticklish letter. BOW THE FAKIR WORKS. He says something of this sort: That he “has regarded with deep interest yonr valuable invention.” Continuing, he may state that he will be glad to put the article on sale, and a model win help him greatly. The last paragraph of the letter is to the effect that “the agency is publishing a paper of general circula tion, and that a description of the pat ent will be printed for teu dollars; for a like amount the reading matter will be adorned with a ent of the invention, which is the property of the inventor after used once, bht to properly and cheaply advertise the invention it is necessary to purchase 0,000 circulars at two dollars per 1,000, which the “agency” will mail to interested capitalists. Here is a bonanza for the inventor for only thirty-two dollars! Publication in an illustrated journal and introduction to the wealth necessary to make his in vention marketable. Bo he replies to the circular and incloses the necessary amount. This Is how the “agency” plays its part. When the thirty-two dollars is re ceived a cheap ent is mode and about two “sticks" of descriptive matter printed. Abont three thousand circulars are printed, a bundle of which is sent to the inventor, and the remainder fed to old Borens from the housetops. The paper may have little or no ctrenlatiuu. bat still its circulation is “general." The model of the patent which is for warded is placed on “exhibition” for sale, and thus the agreement is nomi nally kept and no law is violated. Thus the "agency” is about twenty dollars better off without much hard. work. When one stop* to consider tho enormous number of inventors who accept these proffers of help it can be seen how pros perous the business may be. oulOblc inventors. It is said that one man who has been in this “fake” business in a city dowu east for many years has secured a vast fortune, and that he occupies several floors of a building with bis offices. Ho persons are more gullible than in ventors,” is the belief upon which the fakir works. Bnt there are other schemes to inter est inventors. Another agency method is to organize an “association” for in ventors, the membership in which is all the way from ten dollars to twenty-live dollars. The inventor is not required to pay his membership fee until his patent has passed the “test” of the “examining board.” Be that test successful or nn- sncceasfnl, the inventor receives a highly illuminated picture of an examining board examining inventions and passing judgments thereon. If his was success ful he is eligible to membership, and if nnsnccessfnl he most go elsewhere. There is no violation of the letter of the agreement which induces the inventor to join the association. The latter does ail it promises, bnt all it promises cun bene fit him little. Becently there came under the ban of the French government an academy of invention. The plan of this institution waa to have a gradual system of inves tigation of the patents submitted, and each stage cast a few dollars additional. When the lust one was reached medals were awarded at different prices, bnt the inventor seldom got off for less than fifty or seventy-five dollars. The “acad emy” was opened by an astute Parisian, who, while he had violated no law, was morally gnilty of working a confidence game npuu thousands of hit country, men.—Indianapolis News.
