SOME NEW INVENTIONS.
The novelty of the Hull hammock
consists in its ability to keep on the
shady side of the tree at all hours of
the day. and it also has the advantage
of being adapted for use on a single
tree or the side of a bouse where only
one support is available. Of course, it
will not curve from eud to end like the
ordinary hammock, but It has a swing
ing motion of Its own, and it can be
made quite as comfortable for resting
as those now in use. The attachment
to the tree is made by a ball and socket
joint, and the two hooks, with the sus
pending cables, the joint allowing the
hammock to swing laterally in substan
tially the same place. By providing
duplicate heads for suspending the
hammock it can be moved around the
tree into another position as the day
advances, thus always keeping under
the shady side of the tree, and when
not In use it folds up flat for storage in
small compass.
Many aids for the kindergarteners are
already in common use in schools for
the smaller children, and now the
typewriter Is to lie added, making It
possible to spell the name of any object
and aid the children In learning the
alphabet. Tile type faces are formed
on separate blocks Inserted In the face
of a circular band, which Is rotated by
the left hand to bring the letter desired
opposite the striking hammer, the lat
ter being connected with the key by
the horizontal rod. The circular pro
jections on either side of the hammer
contain inking rollers, and as the type
faces are revolved to bring the desired
one in front of the striker it Is inked
by one of the rollers. The paper Is in
serted in a sliding carriage in conjunc
tion with the hammer when it is de
sired to write a sentence, and by asso
ciating a picture with the letter the
child soon learns to recognize the lat
ter at sight. If it is desired to vary the
pictures the printing disk can be re
moved and another Inserted In Its
place. The machine is also capable of
use for writing business letters, and
has cheapness and simplicity to recom
mend it.
