THE NEWS.
The invention is extremely simple and
consists merely OF a regulation mainsaii
and, II desired, small jib. No steering
apparatus is necessary as the car Will OF
course run on the rails and be guided by
them. The mast is set ia movable hori-
xontal frame that can be carried TO any
part of the car roof SO as to take advan-
tage OF any sort of a wind and to get the
effect of tacklng without changing the
direction OF the car at any given moment.
Brakes will be done away with and each
car provided with powerful emergency
anchor that is so constructed as to catch
and hold on white post.
Cheese Making without Milk.
A. o. Dorr OF Providence has at last
solved the problem OF cheese making
without milk and has applied TO the city
for q permit TO erect his plant on public
property and his scheme is based on the
principle of the solidification OF gases
under high pressure. He wants the priv
ilege OF catching in huge retorts the
various gases arising from the river
between Dyer and South Water streets
and these, he claims, by subsection
to powerful pressure, will enable
him to produce a limburger cheese
at one-quarter the present selling
price OF the commodity. 1t Is an excel
lent thing, and A. o. Dorr has agreed to
pay to the city ten per cent. of the gross
receipts for the first eleven years, for the
privilege of utilizing the municipal odor.
The only opposition to his petition comes
from the faction who opposed the filing
in OF the cove, on the ground
that 1t interfered with the ancient
and honorable fishing rights. They
claim now as they did then
that the ownership of everything swim
ming in or arising from che Providence
River north OF the middle ground belongs
to certain individuals rather than to the
public.
Another Invention.
article from the list of things absolutely
useless and placed it in the rank OF hard
rubber and celluloid. Uriah Cure
has suggested that by a system of
collection all the left over and forgotten
chewing gum could be scraped from the
bottoms OF chairs, church pews and park
benches and from underneath the restaur-
ant tables and sides OF buildings and
placed in an immense boiling vat to be
reduced to wUrkUbfe paste and then
hardened in convenient shapes and sizes
for commercial use. BY rejecting the
cheaper gums substance could be
obtained for almost nothing that
would admit OF light polish, and be dur
able and elastic enough for the manufac-
ture of combs, toys, false teeth, and lorg-
nettcs.
