A cycling-irm in Cologne has patent
ed a new bicycle bell, in which is con-
cealed a kind of revolver, which is to
serve the double purpose of frighten-
ing away vicious dogs and cheeky
tramps. By merely pressing button
attached to the side of the bell ten
cartridges can be fired off in succession,
these giving such loud report that
obnoxious persons and animals would
not think twice of beating hasty re-
treat.
Machines for treating coffee, used
in Brazil are made in the United
States, but require improvements in
view of local conditions. Thus the
coffee driers are very unsatisfactory.
and the inventor of thoroughly eff
fective drier would reap a fortune in
Brazil. Driers as now made use too
high temperature, and the product
is not uniform. 1t seems the solution
of the problem would lie in the use
Of comparatively low temperatures and
of an exhausting pump.

She-Did your grandfather live to a

SO! He was buncoed three times after
he was seventy.
She-You know it Is weman's priv

1t Is; but when a man changes his he
has to pay damages.
Yes, sir" said the man in Cell III;
time was when 1 was admitted to the
very best houses" And what brought
you here?" "They caught me coming
out"
"Gnatbrain lost his head when he
was called upon to speak last night"
Must have felt as l did when l lost

Isn't my new dress becoming to
me?" asked the delighted wife. YES
replied the head Of the establishment,
"and l suppose the bill will soon be
coming to me-"
He-Why did you fail to recognize
me on the street today? She-I didn't
see you. He-Thats strange. l saw
you twice. She-Oh, that probably ac-
counts for 1t. l never recognize a man
In that condition.
Wife aghast-Henry, where did

She-After all; why should we blame
Blanco? 1t isn't really his fault.
suppose he can't help it. Some men
are constituted that way. Hell don't
quite understand you. Constituted
what way? She-Why, they're so slow
