As we develop, this need asserts itself more and ultimate aim should be to arrive at laws and regulations at leastas precise as those which define the ownership of tangible things. Anew principle is still to be discovered which will make this in the distant future photographic records of the retina ofthe eye may furnish a foundation for a new and more perfect systemof protection and just valuation of the creations of the mind. Asfar as I am able to understand the working of the human mechanism,such records offer the only chance of doing away with the presentimperfect ideas of possession and use of crude equivalents. But letus bear in mind that for the time being the United States PatentOffice is the farthest advance toward that ultimate aim.

View of Boston Edison Station from the Harbor. Expansion of the Boston Edison System. SIXTY thousand kilowatts is to be the ultimate generator capacityof a steam turbine station that is being constructed by theI Edison Electric Illuminating Company in Boston. The siteof this new station is a plot of land 8io ft. by 1,300 ft., bounded onthree of its sides by L Street and East First Street, South Boston,and by the Harbor Commissioners line. A portion of this plot,perhaps one-third, is now under tide water, and is occupied in partby the coal wharf and the docks of the company. On the dry por-tion of this area, and not far from its center, is the old Fourth orL Street generating station of the Edison Company, which was builtby the Boston Electric Light Company in 1898, and passed to theEdison Company with the purchase of the entire Boston electricsystem in 1901. An elaborate 26-page article on the then existingBoston system, by Mr. E. S. Mansfield appeared in ElectricalWorld and Engineer
