Little of the an imal hospital con ducted by the So- .... r .u. H Vention of Cruelty to Animals in New York has introduced a substitute for ether as an anesthetic This is nitrous oxide and oxygen, ready much used by' dentists. . Dr. Little has devised a muzzle that Is placed over the. dog's nose. The nitrous oxide is pumped into this till the animal loses consciousness. Then the oxygen is pumped in, and the dog is safe for several hous. 0 Handle on Paper Bag. The transportation of a paper bag filled with groceries, for instance, is made much easier by the use of a han dle recently devised. The top edge of the bag is folded bout a portioa of the handle and given a turn or two which, permits the handle device to firmly seize the paper, where stpon it makes a secure means of carry ing the bag. 0 Hew Uses for Wood. Among the products made exclu sively from wood are charcoal, without which we could have no formaldehyde; ttllulose, which, converted into viscose, furnishes us with artificial sausage jldns and artificial silk from which neckties, stockings, braids and tapestries are made. Nine-tenths of all paper is made from -wood. At the forest products laboratory 1 Madison, Wis, of the American For- Just A Bit nf Pnniilar Spi-'pnr.ft 1 i makes use of a covering of spring maia! over which a jacket of rubber, properly shaped for the purpose is placed. The result of an experience in chain thus equipped is said to resemble a trif. through the clouds and to ovcrcoma many of the squeaks and noises wlu'dr . go sometimes with tho vigorous opera tion of a rocking chair. estry Association the mill waste of long leaf pine has been turned into a brown paper that has a variety of uses; cut into strips, it is spun into thread and woven into bags, matting, burlap, suit cases and furniture. WpntliMdA" Tanks. The mechanism which makes the "tanks" of the British army and their progenitors the caterpillar tractors of Western American farms, is likened by La Nature to that of a giant centipede. The difference, of course, is that a cen tipede has to move his feet back and forth, while those of the "tank" move in only one direction, being a succession of spikes on an endless chain. The weight of the machine is carried through spiral springs by a platform on several wheels, which roll on band inside the endless chain. The lat ter is kept moving by two larger wheels with cogs upon their circumference and joined by connecting rods. thrifts in the matter of fuel." Alcohol for fuel, says Dr. Bell, can be made from sawdust, from cornstalks, from weeds, and even from the garbage of our cities. "A great field of useful ness is opening up for the engineer who will modify our machinery to enable al cohol to be used as the source of power." Alcohol for FoeL The world will probably depend upon alcohol (of the non-drinkable kind) more and more as time goes on, says Dr. Alexander Graham BelL "Wo can take coal out of a mine, but we can nev er put it back. We can draw oil from subterranean reservoirs, but we can never refill them again. We are spend- Tractors vs. Kales. Ten mules could haul about two tons of material across the desert and their work was limited to 10 hours, but the tractor hauls 25 tons and covers a -distance of 20 miles in the same time, O Antl-Breakag. Device. A great many large and expensive globes enclosing the electric lamps which line the streets of the cities are broken in the course of the daily removal of them for renewal of carbons and clean ing the globes. A globe-holding clamp has been re cently devised by which this breakage is greatly reduced. The device consists of two sheet metal semi-circular forms con nected together at one tide bp binge and at the other by catch. The inner edge of this form Is shaped to fit the flange of the globe, while the outside edge is made to fit over the col lar of the post The outside edge of the form has three L-sliapcd slots, 120 degrees apart, which allows the form to go over the holding screens that project outward through the collar of the post. After the form is clamped on the globe it is placed on the post, turned In to position and held securely by lugs. It is made waterproof by the introduction of suitable material between globe and holder. q Open Sewing Table. There are no hidden corners to per plex the searcher in a new sewing table just invented. The entire contents are spread out in full view, and anything which is harbored within its confines may be quickly seen and easily reached. There is no opportunity for anything wanted to get itself stowed away In some corner where it will be overlooked by even the keenest eyes. There are all sorts of drawers and compartments to accommodate all sorts and shapes of Implements which the worker may need in the pursuit of her work. . i O A Trench Digger, The trenches on the battle fronts in Europe have been dug almost wholly by hand labor. The work, of course, hat been of an extremely laborious descrip tion. In the aggregate it hat doubtless far exceeded the labor that would have been required to dig the Panama canal with pick and shovel. But the American trenches In France will be dug by machinery by steam driven ditching machines. Our sol diers, relieved of this soul-depressing labor, will have just so much more energy to put into the business of fight ing. "' 0 ' Tire Changing Tool. Anything which will cut down the ter rors of tire changing will be given a warm welcome at the bands of the vast, army of automobile owners and opera tors. The arrangement of parts, the sub ject of a recent patent grant, Is said to meet all the requirements and to greatly simplify all the various operations of taking off a defective tire and replacing it with it good one. Galloping Chariot. X "galloping wheel" which has been recently invented Is a child's play vehicle which in some respects resembles the chariot of Caesar's day mixed up with a modern bicycle, bat the main feature of the new device is that it lmparti a gal loping motion to the rider as i the lat ter were mpunted on bounding steed. This motion is accomplished by con structing the weel with some departure from the circle, In fact the wheel is oval, and as the outfit passes over the ground the shape of the wheel causes the platform of the vehicle to rise and fall, to the delight of the rider. O Swinging Lights Warning. As a warning at night there is said to be nothing more effective than a swing ing lantern. A fixed point of light will often be lost in the darkness, whereas one which swings (lightly will be sure to attract the eye. Acting on this, the inventor of the newest railroad crossing warning hat designed it to simulate the swing of the crossing man's lantern. The device is electric, but the two lights are arranged to oscillate when it is desired to warn people of the approach of a train. This device has been tried on one of the lead ing railroads and was found to be rerj effective. . . Pneumatics en the Chair. The 'soothing fascination of the rock ing chair will be greater than ever when they are all fitted out with the cushion which has just been designed for cover ing surfaces of their rockers. To get away from the uncertainties of the pneumatic tube and the necessity of the pumping apparatus required to keep tliem in proper shape, the new. invention Wooden Shoes, Owing to the fact that there is great increased demand for woodetl shoes" from all parts of the world, there) has been recently made a great improve ment In their manufacture. They are lighter and more comfortable. 0 " ' Xlectrlo Plow. A Swedish inventor is reported t have devised a satisfactory meant ot transferring electric power to self -pre pelled motor plows and other farm ma chlsery. 0 Breastpin fox Boasting Fowl. When the cook fills the chicken 04 other fowl preparatory to its being places! at the post of honor on the dining rooas table there is a little operation whlclf must be performed with needle &aj thread when the slit that has been nude) . la the carcass Is sewed up in order that the filling may be properly retained. There are now provided fastener which are aside for this purpose aa4 which have the advantage that they ar. easily applied and that they may be usee! rcpeatedly.fer tbe same purpose. These plates have a central narrow, portion spanning the slit and having flaring ends formed with barbs to fasten In the flesh of the bird and to hold tils' slit In a closed position without the sid of cotton.
