Th.- fact that there are more patents applied for in Xew Zealand than in any other country, for every 1.000 of the population. augurs v.cil for the manufacturers of the loloiiv. This, no doubt, is duo in a great m*asu'.to th.- general ])rospenty and enterprise of the piupV.- in the colony, and to the txcremely moderate patent l\<-s which enable protection to be obtained a! a v«rv small cost.

Invention and manufacture- go hand in hand, the inventor is in fact- the pioneer of tha manufacturer, and where the inventor ii greatly in evidence then too will the factory hum. It is said that the great balk" of tho capital invented in business enterprises in Ameiica is based entirety upon patented inventions. It is therefore a hopeful sign for us in New Zealand that we value the patent laws and strive to take advantage of ilkiii. Ad invention dors not become property til: protected, and once brought under th-* Ac! i s value will increase in proportion as i; ii; widelv handled.
