A DESIRABLE CAMP-CHEsT.
Mr.. George Parr Of Buffalo, n. Y, has recently in
vented camp-chest which the most useful article Of
the kind ever brought before the public, and which
we predict from its compactness and general utility
in every respect will become indispensable in military
lfe a plain box, 81 inches in length, IA inches in
width, and 10 inches in depth having been emptied
OF its contents is transformed into table at which
four persons may be comfortably seated The chest
table contains three webseat camps,ools, made of the
best hickory and folded together hatchet, saw,
ng.knfe and fork, three TASKS that WILL in the aggrc
gate hold one gallon; tea caddy, coffee caddy, wash
bowl Clipper eight plates folr knives and forks four
each of table ard Teaspoons tea and cO1ee-pot com
bined, with srainer; frying-psn, pot for boiling,
three drinking cups sugar and mk-bowl, cruet stand
for pepper salt mustard and vinegar, with mustard
spoon ard corkscrew combined spirit boiler for tea
or coffee and fuel for twenty meals two tableclohs
and two towels.
The most striking novelty Of the " camp chest,
CONSISTS in the arrangement by which u Is Instantly
converted into table. The legs secured in such
manner by hinges and springs, that they fold snugly
inside when the box s closed. The soldier, in addi
ton TO having table at which he st quietly down
and take his meals, will find it also convenient in
camp 10 write HE letters or journal upon. To look al
tits little box wond scarcely suppose that such
vast array Of culinary utensils and dishes for eating
could be slowed away in so small space. The dishes
OF tin, and well made the pans, &C., Tor cooking
being of sheet.irOn
Mr.. Parr who seems to be fertile in getting mp
venient things, has also invented cantcen case,
which, like the camp chest, has cruet stand ior pep
per- salt vinegar, and mustard; mustard spoon and
corkscrew combined knife and fork spoon, tea caddy,
drinking cup apparatus for boiling tea and coffee, with
iuel sufficient Tor 20 meals. This light, convenient,
and useful article is nclosed in lea,hen case, nicely
finished and is designed 10 he suspended from the
shoulder by leather strap in the same manner as the
cartIdge-6oX which, in sze and shape II very much
resembles.
Both Of these invaluable articles will be exhibi-
ton for few days. at Ball Il Blacks store, Broad
Way.
