Show Inventor Has Idea of Houses by the Quart Buttons, collar studs, the backs of hairbrushes, and all kinds of things are already made from milk, and now comes an inventor who proposes to turn the cow into a provider of building materials for houses. He claims that casein, or solidified milk, Is an Ideal substance for the purpose, since it is easy to work and would make It possible to erect soundproof and draught-proof buildings. His villas are to be planned on novel lines. Instead of digging down for the foundations, he Is going to erect a large mast. The house hangs from a fmmework erected round this and provided with ball bearings. The idea is that you can turn it just as you like in order to bring any room at will into the sunshine or the shade. It is to be doubted, though, whether wheth-er the new Idea will catch on, for few people desire dwellings in which they will be permanently "up the pole." London Tit-Bits. |
