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 constitutional remedies.
Deafness is caused by an inflamed con-

tachian tube. When this tube is in

imperfect hearing, and when it is entire

RECENT INVENTIONS.

IN a new animal trap the cage Is
formed of wire, with chute in the
bottom, made of wires woven into a
tube, with the lower ends of the wires
bent back and sharpened to prevent the
rodent from backing out when it once
starts to enter.
Two Californians have devised an
Improved satchel clasp, having the two
clamps usually placed on either side of
the lock connected with the central
sliding catch by rods, in order that the
movement of the central catch may
operate the clasps.
Electricity is used to produce the
heat in an improved branding machine,
the roller containing the characters be-
ing suspended ON a hinged bracket,
through which the current passes, the
circuit being completed by depressing
the roller against the base.
Grocers' scoops are to be made with
a weighing scale attached, the upper
portion of the handle being cut away
for the reception of a spring-contain-
ing barrel, with wire bale at the low
er end which supports the scoop when
suspended on the scale.
A spike extractor has been patented
for use on railroads, comprising a post
to rest on the rail, with sliding men,
Der raised and lowered by a lever piv-
oted on the post, the slide having a pair
of jaws at the lower end for engaging
the head Of the spike.
A Canadian has designed an insect
shield for trees which is made Of a
strip of metal Of circular shape, with
the lower edge bent to cut into the bark
of the tree and the top formed into a
faring hood, with a suitable filing be-
tween the shield and the tree.
