Show a = PROOREJJ Odorous Substances Lose Weight A French scientist has submitted to the Paris Academic des Sciences some Instructive measurements of the loss of weight which odorous substances sustain In giving out their characteristic character-istic smells Ho determined that a grain of lodoform lost in an hour one millionth part of its weight At this I rato the substance would lose In one year 8700 mllllonths or less than one hundredth part of a milligram Therefore There-fore it would reqIre more than 114 years for ix single milligram to bo I used up In odorous emanations alone When one remembers tnu pungent efficacy ef-ficacy of that odor one cannot but bo u astounded at the fact These remarkable remark-able figures are however far surpassed sur-passed In the casa of musk which In using up a milligram of Its substance 1 for scenting purposes would occupy something approaching 100000 yearn Luggage Carrier Tho novelty of some of tho devices pattented appeals at once to the eye and Immediately the wonder Is that It had not been thought of before In this class Is tho luggage carrier shown In tho Illustration here for tho use of porters traveling men and others to assist in carrying heavy articles such as grips suit cases and the like Its parts aro few and simple consisting of a harness arrangement for suspension suspen-sion from the shoulder of tho user to which Is connected a brace or stay which also bears against the hip and Is utilized to support the luggage to be carried and holding It spaced from tho body At each end of the strap aro hooks which are connected with loops In the brace A chest strap Is also provided which Is connected with the shoulder strap and passes around the wearer beneath tho arm to retain tho should or strap in position both straps havIng hav-ing adjusting means consisting of buckles To render the adjustment I Puts the Weight on tie Shoulders effective tho chest strap Is arranged to slldo upon tho shoulder strap in front but riveted at t o back The brace has a yoke at lie end which bears against tho wearer At the other oth-er end Is an attachment having a handgrip hand-grip on one side and a socket on the other to receive the handle of tho luggage lug-gage to bo carried By this arrangement arrange-ment a valise grip or other article of a similar form can be suspended from tho handle of tho device and easily carried the wearer not being annoyed or having his progress retarded by tho luggage coming In contact with his limbs A comparatively heavy ar tide can thus be carried without inconvenience in-convenience Auto Bank to Collect Deposits The scampering cashier hereafter can flee Canadaward In a bank of hs own This motor bank for which patents have been Issued is an elec tric car to ho built of chilled steel with double walls with onehalf Inch space between In ono corner is located lo-cated a burglar proof safe while desk and working room for several clerics aro also provided Tho car has a touring radius of fifty miles and will cost over 5000 It Is to be used by tho bank In collecting from depositors especially from shopkeepers at night and Is to bo sent to various parts of the city to receive deposits of com mercial and savings accounts this can be done with perfect safety since tho automobile bank Is to bo absolute ly I burglar proof New SmokeConsumer A new smokeprevention device for boiler furnaces has been Invented by a Glasgow engineer The system con sists of discharging a combination of I steam air and producer gas Into the furnace The threo elements aro combined and discharged on to the fuel in tho front of tho furnace The resulting chemical action releases tho hydrogen In the steam and combines tho oxygen with tho carbon in the fuel The decornposlton of tho supplied gases Is thus complied and creates great heating power emitting heavy smoke Tho latter however decreases In volume toward tho tubes in which there are only flames and Is complete ly I consumed before it reaches th chimney Suggestion for Automobile Roads Because Englands canals aro used so little comparatively a correspond ent of tho London Times has written to that paper making a novel sugges tlon Ho would havo tho canals drained and their beds converted Into roadways for the use of automobiles |
