THE EDISON ELECTRIC LIGHT. THE UNDULATORY THEORY OF ODORS. Contbnts. GAS METERS AS HELPS TO FIRES. hot air sweeping in advance of the fire will quickly melt the flames and keeps up an inexhaustible supply of fuel. Such after almost every city fire when nothing is left of a build ing but blackened and broken walls. The gas poured into burning buildings through such openings doubtless helps materially to account for the sur prising suddenness with which many great buildings have been swept by flames; and in all cases the outflow of gas must seriously counteract if it does not altogether thwart the efforts of the firemen. The remedy for this great evil is not so easy to point out. It is obvious that where a multitude of meters are to be dis tributed through a building they should be more securely incased and prd 7ided with infusible connections; or some means should be devised whereby the gas supply shall be automatically shut off whenever the temperature rises so as to imperil the integrity of the meter. There should also be near the outer door and readily accessible to firemen some means by which the connection of the house with the gas main in the street can be quickly closed. There is clearly an opportunity here for useful and profit able invention. THE SCIENTIFIC AMERICAN SUPPLEMENT 1 Tc›. 30U A Licensee Cannot Sue for an Infringement. Judge Wallace -In the case of Ingalls vs. Tice U. S. Cir cuit Court for this district has decided that an agreement whereby the patentee granted to the complainant the sole and exclusive right to sell the patented articles within cer tain specified territory was not a transfer of an individual part of the whole patent or of the exclusive right of the whole patent for a particular territory. It is simply a license and does not entitle the complainant to bring suit in his own name the patentee not being a party to the suit., 1882-12-30
