The museum has obtained the entire list of amusement patents issued by the United States Government 1790 on and a Eeerch through them has brought -forth ehow-business knowledge heretofore buried in the archives of Government records. In going through the patents it was found that the first amusement patent was issued by the Government on Oct. 16, 1847, to Charles Luxton, who had invented a swing.

The first roller skates, records show, were made by a R. Shaler and the patent issued on May 29 in 1860. The two-story carousel, the first i of its kind, was patented on July 25, 1871, by W. Schneider. Then followed a long procession of amusement patents on different kinds of swings, game tables, see-saws, rnerry-go-round, etc.

Patents were applied for on an "appliance for dancing instruction," "aerial observatory," "picture exhibitor," "apparatus for dramatic effect," WOULD TAKE MAN YEAR TO REACH MOON IN ROCKET French Savants Award $400 to Marl for Plan to Propel a Tube by Hydrogen Gas. limnarl Rr1 Cm.

It will take three years of concerted effort, according to Professor Miguel Conto, to wipe out entirely the ste.7pmyas. He made this statement in a radio talk in which he traced yellow. fever in Brazil since the first cases were brought here in December 1849 by the American bark Navarre.

Thompson, another pioneer in who, back in 1885, went to Washington to patent the "roller coaster structure" (patent No. 310,966, according to Government statistics), will also be given a prominent spot in the museum. It is interesting to note that the roller coaster was in vogue in Coney Island in 1881, four Sears before Thompson decided to safeguard his invention- by patenting it. And only the other day a diligent search brought forth the original car used then. It was found in a junk heap on the Thompson scenic railway plant.

The library of patents and other volumes pertaining to fairs and the outdoor show world will be complete and the only one of its kind in the world. Mr. Mangels has secured all the patents from the Government from on to the present day. The first patent was filed with the Government in 1790 and the first volume of 'patents listed Is from 1799 to 1847. There was no classification of patents at that time and it was a tremendous task to go through them for amusement inventions.

1C4 Patents. Found. After going through the volumes of a hundred years, 164 patents on the amusement industry were discovered. Each one has now been classified. Hunting through these pateirl volumes provided Mr.

Mangels with a thrill he never before had experienced.
