A German has invented an electrical
hair drier composed of sliding comb
plate, held on a frame, with an electric
wire embedded in an insulated layer
to heat the comb plate
An Englishman has patented a ham,
mock chair in which the fabric forming
the seat and back is fixed to a roller at
the upper end of the back, which is pro-
Vided with a ratchet and spring pawl,
so the seat can be made tight or loose

To convert an ordinary bathtub into
q vapor or medicated bath a flexible
cover is placed over the edges with an
aperture for the neck, and the med
icinal ingredients are placed in per-
meable bag suspended from the under
side Of the cover.
A Massachusetts, man has invented
key-fastener, which consists of a
U-shaped piece of metal which slips
over the knob spindle and carries a.
plate at either end, with a screw to
draw them together and clamp the
key so it cannot be turned from the
outside.
Hats and caps can be left on a new
hook without danger of theft, sliding
bolt being fitted with lock and key,
by which the garments are clamped
tightly and cannot be released until the
owner inserts the key to draw the bolt.
Automatic fans are attached to a
newly-patented rocking chair and are
operated by two crank-arms, each hav-
ing one end resting on the floor and the
opposite ends attached to a pivoted,
toothed segment, which turns a cog
wheel mounted on the lower end of the
fan shaft.

ships of the first class, 2 of the second
and As other vessels ranging from ar
mored cruisers to torpedo boats. there
are under construction battleships OF
the first class 16 torpedo boats and 1
submarine boat. No provision has vet
been made for the armor of three of the
five battleships, as it has been impos-
sible to obtain it at the price fixed by
congress. 1t is of great Importance that
congress provide this armor. as until
then the ships are of no fighting value.
The present naval force. especially In
view of Its increase by the ships now
under construction. while not as large
as that of few other powers. is a for
midable force. It's vessels are the very
