In a recent legal-action it trans pired In evidence that the invent or of the metal plates used to pro tect soles and heels from wear sold upward of 12,000,000 plates in 1879, : and 1887 the number reach ed 138,000,000, producing realized profits cf £1,250,000. As large a sum as was ever ob- tatained for any invention was en joy ed by the inventor of the in-, verted glass bell to hang over gas to protect the ceiling from being blackened, and a scarcely less lu crative patent was that for simply putting eraei’y powder on cloth. Frequently time' aud circum stances are wanted before^an in vention is appreciated; bus it will be seen that patience is well re- waeded, tor the inventor of the roller skate made over SI,000,000, notwithstanding the fact that his patent had nearly expired before its value was ascertained. — The gimlet-pointed screw has produced more wealth than most silver mines, and the American who first thought of putting cop per ti t .s on children’s shoes is as well fixed as if his father bad left him §2,000,000 in ^United VStates bonds. ?; ■. Upward oS^§10,000 a year was made by the inventor of the com mon needle threader.' To the foregoing might be added thous ands of trifling bat useful articles from which handsome incomes are derived or for which large sums have been paid. Few inventions pay better than popular patented toys. A clergy man realized $2,000 a week by the invention of a strange little play thing to be seen for a; long time in every toy shop window and the streets of London. That favorite American toy, a “return ball,” a wooden ball / with an elastic attached—yielded the patentee an income equal to §50,- 000 a year, and an income of no less than §75,000 per annum to the inventor of the ■'•dancing Jim Crow,'’ The invention of Piia- roah’s serpents,” a toy much in vogue some years ago/ Was the outcome of some chemical experi ments,'and'brought the inventor more than_§50,000 The sale of a little . wooden figure “John Gilpin,” was incredi bly large for many years,.; and a very ingenious toy, known as the “wheel of life,” is said to- have produced^ pward of 500,000 dol lars profits to the inventor. One of the most successful of modern toys has been the “chame leon top,” the sale’ of which has been enormous. The field of in vention is not only vast and va ried, bat it is open to everybody without respect or favor of : any kind to sex - or :agey> statiedp. or means. The merest trifle may be the key to a fortune, if it be an ar ticle that the,public actually wants in great numbers. The translation of legal docu ments from English into Spanish is quite an important business -in St. Louis. There, is also much correspondence relating to mines that must be translated. A firm recently received a letter ordering supplies, in which the two lan guages were strangely mixed. One of the iteprs called for a number of “Mofiqria Pinches.” It took the clerk some time to guess; that ; monkey wrenches were wanted, but the guess was correct.
