A pretty good joke occurred to friend of
ours yesterday. which is worth relating -
Having heard of the Gutta Percha Soles, and
their being impervious to dampness or water.
he had them placed on pair of boots, and
found that they realized all that he anticipated.
Unfortunately for our friend, he had formed
habit of placing his feet in close proximity to
fire whenever he should have been in the
street, and on going into his Office on the day
in question, he unconsciously, in accordance
with his custom, opened the door thereof. ve
ry lelSurely engaged himself in devouring an
apple. After having remained for few mo-
ments, he placed his feet upon the floor, and
closing the stove door he rose from his chair,
when low and behold he was fast to the floor.
his Gutta Percha having in consequence of
the sudden transition from the heat OF the fire
(Which had softened like jelly) to the floor,
became, as it were, CONCEALED thereto Here
was fix. What was to be done At no
loss for an experiment, he quietly withdrew
his feet from the boots. they remained in statu
quo. and placing the shovel IN the stove. heat
ed it TO sufficient degree, and running it be-
tween the soles and the floor, he soon relieved
them from their ,fred determination to remain
minus a portion of the Gutta Percha.
Our friend, we imagine, will be more care
full in future. Express.
