HOW [CO INVENT. ! (By Thomas A. Edison.) ; Mr .Edison writes as follows:—"How do I got about inventing a contrivance? Well, everything requires different treatment. I go at it in every way that 1 can think out. This multiplied attack soon simmers down until I get a composite idea, something which is a combination, of all that I have thought of, or else the one feasible idea which seems to discount, all tlie rest. Having once got started on what I thnk is the right track I keep ,up the pace until v the goal is reached. The only thing therefore, I can any to the young inventor is to go and do likewise. There is one piece of advice I can give however, when a man starts to invent, let him do so with his mind free from all knowledge of what lias been done already in the particular field he is investigating. For instance, if I am about to work out something, j never read upon it, nor do I inquire what has been done on it by other inventors. Knowledge of this kind is almost certain to prove a snag in the path of the inventor. He gets into 'the cut made by. his predecessors, and stops where they are stopped." The above remarks from Mr Edison are supplied us by Henry Hughes, patent agent, Christchurcli,; the oldest established firm of parent agents in the colony. Mr J. E. S. Jackson, Stafford street, is the Timaru representative for Mr Hughes, from, whom all'information relating to patents and trademarks may be obtained on application free of cost. ...
