Fortune and Great Fame.
A Few Of the Curiosities That Have Been
Discovered in the Patent Office in
England-Queer Ideas.

The office in which inventors, who are al
WAYS under the impression that the particu-
lar article which they have invented. will
place them on the high road to fame and
bring them untold wealth, deposit their
ideas and obtain patent thereon. is one in
which person can obtain great deal of
information and no little amount of amuse-
ment in examining the very queer articles
that have been filed for patent. a writer
for an English magazine recently made
tour of this Office, and writing from the hu-
morous standpoint, presents the following
funny things he came across:

been a subject of interest to all travellers.
