U. 3. ISSUES PATENT NUMBER 1300000 Granted to Simon Lake Cov- ering Submarine Which Will Work Under Ice. RATE INCREASES RAPIDLY First Half Million Took §7 Years; Second, 18, and Third, 13. Storage a Problem. Uncle Sam issued his one and one- half milllonth patent today. G@anted to Simon Lake, well known inventor of Connecticut, for a new type of sub- mersible vessels designed to navigate under ice, the patent marks a mile- stone on the road of industrial prog- ress and the whole series of patents issued by the United States patent of- fice since its establisnment in 1836, il- lustrates a period of progress un- parallcled in the entire history of the human race. ‘With the exception of a few—al- though important—instances, the rise of modern industrsalism = and a changed economic order are illustrat- ed issued since 1836, The patent issued today, No. 1500000, does, not include those issued before the present patent of- fice came into existerce.

The first period saw perfection of the steam engine, development of the art of electric generation of power, its transmj on, electric lighting, heating_and communi®ation: indus- trial chemistry. the invention of labor-saving machinery and the in- ternal-combusticn engine. The sec- ond period saw the invention of the automobile, the airplane and wire- less communication. The last period. covering the past thirteen vears, is notable largely e pursuit of improvements, multiplication of _labor-saving de- vices. the refinement in electrical ap- paratus and development of auto- matic telephony and radio communi- cation. Copies of all the patents issued are on filb in the patent office and form the permanent record of the office. So vast is the numher of coples and duplicates that they have become a problem to the patert office for stor- age. Where to find space for this expanding number of documents is a question that is puzzling officials. Said It With Water. From the London Tattler.
