The worst of thematter is that in most cases ouradvice to drop such absurd projectsis received as evidence of wantof sagacity and knowledge, and ourwould-be cHent becomes the dupe of some not over-conscientious patentagent, who pockets his fees and laughs in his sleeve at the greenness ofthe applicant. The device illustrated is one submitted by one of those enthusiasticindividuals, who, without understanding the first principles of mechanics,believes he is about to revolutionize the industry of the world by hisgrand discovery; and as honor, and not pecuniary reward, is his seeks to make
