THE REVENUE OF THE JAPANESE PATENT BUREAU. Welearn from a vemacular contemporary that at first the revenue of the Patent Bureau for a year was only about Y30,000.

We have made inquiries of the American Trading Company, and find that our Osaka contemporary has been greatly misted as regards the facts. It appears that five lecomo- tives were ordered by the Haukaku Railway Company, through the Trading Co., of the Brooks Locomotive Works, and it was not until long after they anived-some time at the end of last year-that a complaint was made that the boilers leaked and would not hold. water. Now before these engines left the makers' works in America the boilers were tested once under water pressure, once under steam pressure, and once on the tracks when the engines were set up. All the boilers were passed as being absolutely water-tight More over, the final inspection was made by the standing inspector employed in America by the Hankaka Railway Co., who, we may say, also acts for the Sanyo line, and he passed them as in proper order and condition. This is surely sufficient as against the contention advanced in our Osaka contemporary, for no maker with a reputation to lose would send out boilers that were defective in the way claimed by the Hankaku Railway, especially when they had to be passerl on the spot by an expert in the ser vice of the Railway Co. We may add that the American Trading Company has not taken up any antagonistic attitude in the matter, and lias not even yet pressed for payment of the bal ance due, so that much surprise is expressed at such a statement appearing in a Japanese paper. The firm's representatives here have no doubt, however, that the matter will be amicably settled.-Kobe-Chronicle.
