The Toddygraph.

= -Tke-latest reported invention of
Edison is called the "tcddygraph."
While Edison was imbibing mint
julip in the saloon adjoining, bril-
liant idea flashed through his fertile
brain, and before he had left the
place he had invented an instrument
that is likely to rev olutionize the
whole saloon business. 1t is ma
chine 80 constructed that when n per-
son, who has just partaken of some
spirituous beverage, brcathes into it,
the action Of his breath upon a pecu-
liarly prepared substance, (also the
invention Of Mr.. Edison) male to re-
volve slowly by means Of small
crank, makes such an impression,
that by again applying the lips and
turning the crank the other way, the
effects ofthe drink can be reproduced
rs many times as desired, no matter
how great a length Of time may have
elapsed. A man provided with one
Of these small iH:trum ents could pro.
vide himself with cocktails for a long
journey, simply for the price Of one
drink. Edison christened it the
"toddygraph.' OF course the saloons
will fight against it bitterly, as it must
destroy the business Of ninety-nine
out ofa hundred Of them. A person
can mix his drinks just to suit himse
and then stock his toddygragh with a
supply of different beverages sufficient
to last him life time.
