RECENT INVENTIONS.

Nuts are securely locked in place by
new device, having the nut cut on one
side to receive lever, which is pivoted
in such a position that when its long
end Is depressed the short end bites into
the threads and prevents revolution of
the nut.
To prevent the overflow Of water in
automatically filed reservoirs the lever
which carries the float to cut off the
supply when the tank is full is provided
with an arm at the end to start motor
device and ring bell when the water
lifts the 63at too high.
Two New Workers have designed a
kneading machine for mixing dough, q
pan being mounted at the end of ver-
teal shaft, with iuted rollers inside the
pan carried by loose spindles to revolve
with the pan, the corrugations entering
the mass of dough to mix it.
Gloves are made to go on the hand
easier by the use of a new stretcher,
which is of similar shape to those now
in use, with the exception that one fin
ger is hollow and contains a powder
which Is discharged inside the glove
when the stretcher is In operation.
In a newly patented door check an
elastic roll is seated in conceived pock-
cts in the door and casing, one end be-
ing attached to the door and the other
to the jamb to twist with the NOV ement
of the door, forming a cushion which
resists the closing of the door suddenly.
Photographic plates of any size can
be washed in an improved box, vertical
guideways being arranged on three
sides, with movable partition fitted
across the box and having similar
guideways on one face, the partition be-
ing adjusted to the size Of plate to be

DEAFNESS CANNOT BE CURED

BY local applications. as they cannot reach the
diseased portion Of the ear. There is only one
way to cure deafness. and that is by consti-
tutional remedies. Deafness Is caused by an
Unframed condition of the mucous lining of the
Eustachian Tube. When this tube is inflamed
you have rumbling sound or imperfect hear
ing, and when it is entirely closed. Deafness
Is the result, and unless the inflammation can
be taken out. and this tube restored to its
normal condition. hearing will be DESTROYED
forever; nine cases out of ten are caused by
Catarrh, which is nothing but an infamed
condition Of the mucous surfaces
