Can a Master Appropriate his Ser vant's Invention?

| An employer ought to anderetand hat to obtain a patent it is not staffi* cunt to have formed an idea for an invention. The bare principle cannot be patented by itself. The patent must disclose a method of carrying oat the principle by somo mechanism which must be fally described ; and therefore if the employer has only mentioned his idea to his workman, and asked him to devise a mechanism to put it in prac tice, the invention will, according to " Engineering,'* belor.g to the work tnan f and not to tbe master. Before a patent can be granted, the applicant mast make a declaration that he is the • true a_d first inventor' of that which forms the subject of the application ; and since the bare idea, which is all that the master has provided, cannot form the subject of an application, it if clear tbat he is not tbe « true and first inventor,' aod the patent will bo granted to the workman. It c ia quite immaterial that the workman has been working in the interests and at the expense of his emp'oyer, The invention of a servant, even made in the employer'! time* and with the ««e of the employer 1! materials, and at the expecie of the i employer, does not become the property lof the employer, so as to prevent tho person employed from taking oat a patent for it.

THE following is of special interest to all those who have occasion to visit the establishment commonly styled 'Hairdressing and Shaving Saloon' :— A Bad Case of Barber's Itch Caused 1 Through tbe Use of? Ukcman Bk.sh or Razor. Uoderdate March 6.h, 1901, Mr George MoOarrison, of 42, Lower Street, Wei. lington, says :—' I desire to state that I have* used Plantekoa with Plantekoa Ointment for a serious trouble on bhe face, commonly known as Barber's Itch. The me of Plantekoa completely cured me in one week, requiring only a part of the bottle of P_ahtekoa and a little of the Ointment. The eruption was very bad and disfiguring, was on both sides of the face, and as I had had it some considerable time and tried various remedies (including Outieur^) without suocess, I began to think it had come to stay. After my experience, you can reckon there ie nothing like Puhtskga.* (Signed) ' George McOarrlson, of Mo» Garrison and Sons, Wood Turners, Plantekoa Is the most powerful and Feanhlng Blood Purifier and Nerve Builder and Strengthens? known.
