happen to know something about the
bottle question, and I can state posi-
lively and authoritatively that there
has never been reward of SO, 900 or
any other amount for such device.
''The impression probably originated
with circular that was prepared years
ago by convention of northern distill-
ers It was designed for the informa-
ton of inventors and stated briefly and

practical nonrefllable bottle what the
working part should be made of. what
tests it should be able to sustain. what
1t should cost in quantity, and SO on. l

that circular in existence, but 1t un-
questionably gave rise to the story that
