Electricity rs n Haircuttere

Two striking proofs of the eagerness
of the public to avail itself of any cleo
trical improvement were recently af-
forded. An electrical journal pub.
lished an article on a comb which
when passed through the hair woull
cut it and SINCE it at the same instant
by means of the contact of platinum
wire stretched across it, to which cur
rent could be admitted on pressure of
q button at the other end Of the comb.
AS direct result of this article the
manufacturers of tho device received
372 letters and eighty-four postals,
and their gross sales in little over
month were nearly $1,000. In regard
to device for generating electricity
direct from coal, which was described
in another journal, the inventor had
800 letters. New York Times.
