A Pocket Typewriter. A pocket typewriter is shortly to txi offered a the British public. Typewriting Typewrit-ing instruments now in the market are of considerable size and weight at least a person could scarcely think of carrying carry-ing one about with him regularly. Th one under notice is not only inexpensive, but it is so small that it may be carried in the waistcoat pocket. The retail pi'ica will be under ten shillings; it measures 8J inches by 3 Inches and weighs about four ounces. Though so small it is not a mere toy. The inventor claims for it that it will turn out better work and be found more useful than larger and more expensive machines. With reference to its construction, all that can bo seen when superficially examined ex-amined is a disk about tho size of the face of a gentleman's watch, in which the type is fixed, and one or two small rollers. It will priut a line from an incli to a yard long, and paper of any size or thickness can be used. Any one can use it, though, as in the case of other instruments, instru-ments, practice is required to enable the operator to write quickly. Another advantage ad-vantage is that by means of duplicate types tho writer can bo used for different differ-ent languages. Patents have been obtained ob-tained for most of the countries in Europe Eu-rope as well as for the United States, Canada and Australia. Montreal .Star.
