The new Secretary of the Interior, Mr. Mc Clelland, has removed with his clerks into the .East wing of the Patent Office. A reso lution on the motion of Mr. Cartter, of Ohio, passed the House of Representatives against the occupation of the Patent Office by any other corps than those belonging to the Pa tent Office; this resolution was struck out by the Senate, and now the Patent Office is done tor. It will be long before it can be-occupied for the purposes originally designed in its construction. Hundreds of models must still rust and rot in the vaults, and the rights and intjwests of the inventors of the Republic be trampled under foot. The late Secretary of the Interior is to blame, as he is " the one by whom the offence came." We had hoped that the whole Patent Office building would have been kept intact for the use of inven tors' business, and an agricultural department for the benefit of our planters and farmers, the two interests, mechanical and agricultural, dwelling in harmony as they have heretofore.

I’ve been a Scientific American subscriber since I was 12 years old, and it helped shape the way I look at the world. SciAm always educates and delights me, and inspires a sense of awe for our vast, beautiful universe. I hope it does that for you, too.

If you subscribe to Scientific American, you help ensure that our coverage is centered on meaningful research and discovery; that we have the resources to report on the decisions that threaten labs across the U.S.; and that we support both budding and working scientists at a time when the value of science itself too often goes unrecognized.

In return, you get essential news, captivating podcasts, brilliant infographics, can't-miss newsletters, must-watch videos, challenging games, and the science world's best writing and reporting. You can even gift someone a subscription.

There has never been a more important time for us to stand up and show why science matters. I hope you’ll support us in that mission.

Thank you,
