T.. a. GARLAND, q Wisconsin man, has
invented a peculiar clock. 1t consi SITS
pf thrcc ogg-shells sot on pivotS. one to
denote. the hour, ono the minutes and
tho other the seconds. The sholls re-
volve on the pivotS without apparent
mechanism to give them motion. Mr..
Garland intends making one with glass
balls and hanging an incandcscent lamp
in each ball, SO the clock can be male to
servo as lamp as well as timG-piccc.
IT looks as though the corlE-screw
would have to go. Some genius has in
vented o champagne wire cutter which
is slightly as we'll as useful and rcsem-
bles pair Of curled pliers with a sharp
inner edge. To open q champagne or
soda bottle tho cutter is applied to the
wire and aftor being separated the
plier is turned to tho rightand loft, thus
leosoning tho cork, which can thcn be
, raised out OF tho bottle by the cutter.
Irisvery seldom that request for a
patent is refused to Scottish applicant,
and whom it is tho reason almost inva-

inventors in this country was old Hugh
Orr, Lcchwinnoch man, who had a
foundry at Bridgewatcr, Mass, during
the revolutionary times. Ho was we'll
known in his life-timo to Washington
and the other American leaders, as from
his foundry came most of their iron and
brass cannon. Orr invented many agri-

Ten hours sleep out of tho twenty
four, walk of at least four miles day

Another somewhat now way for pro-

food is prepared. His wife had occasion
to be absent from home one day, and she
told the servant 20 boil lobster for my

her husband Of tho treat she had pro-
vided for him and requesting him not TO
wait dinner for her. He was quito
hungry when he reached home, and after
reading the note, said 10 the servant: is

the color they had been putting ON was

Mr.. Bowser came home to find that four
