THE ROMANCE OF SECRET

INVENTIONS.

Before the days of patents the only way to make sure that an invention would re- main the property of its original ownBT WAS to keep it secret, where this could be done without forcing it to remain in disuse. Even at the present day many processes and formula are kept from public know ledge in this way, the inventor preferring not to apply for a patent. If the history of secret processes could be written, writes a contributor to The Technical World, it would form a romantic and fascinating book, and one of the most interesting sections would be that which dealt with the many attempts to sten! the secrets frour their jealous owners. He goes on to say:

'The scene of one of those stories is laid in the wild moorland country around Shof- field, England, where a watchmaker named Huntsman had built a factory for making steel by a process of his own invention. The secret was a very valuable one, for it was the only process by which steel could be made of uniform quality throughout; bat Hanteman had little fear that any of his ́rivals would discover it, for he employed only picked and sworn workmen, and the portals of his factory were almost as strictly guarded against strangers as the doors of o bullion vault.

*However, one bitterly cold wintry night, when the wind was shrieking over the neighbouring moor, driving the snow in wild eddies before it, a tattered, shivering tramp presented himself at the door of the works and pitifully craved permission to warm his frozen bones at the furnace fires. For a

“THERE'S NEW VIGOR AND STRENGTH IN EVERY DROP." long time he pleaded in vain; the door-kes-

To the Editor of the ONA MAIL.'

Sir,-With reference to the paragraph which appeared in the China Mail of the 3rd inst. regarding the peculiar death of Mr F. Shuster, engineer, employed at the Sugar Works, Quarry Bay, might I ask, through the medium of your paper, why no inquest was held? The man was picked up in an unconscious state by the Police; his skull was fractured, and there were several wounds on his bead and face, yut he was locked all night in a police cell without medical aid being called in, instead of having been sent to the hospital. It is well un derstood that if the latter action had been taken the man's life might have been Haved.
