BRIEF EDITORIAL FANCIES SELECTEDAeroplane TrustProfessor J. J. Montgomery, of Sai^ta Clara College, well known for his achjuvgnwiits in aerial Invention, has announced that he mean* to protact his exclusive patent right* to ctrtaln device* now lifted In the Wright and other successful aeroplane*.Tho Wright Brothers have claimed to be the originators of aeroplane^ iilghts, but yet It appears that in important respects thay were following the lead of the Santa Clara professor, who theoretically studied out and practically opplled the scientific curves arid warping* which are features of the beat aeroplane construction.This goes far to nullify the claims of the newly organised Wright Company, or Aeroplane Trust, to exclusive patents sufficient to give them a monopoly of aeroplane construction in the United Btatea.—Sacramento Bee.
