ODDITIES OF INVENTION.

In Germany clocks have been run by
wireless teGegraphy Portable wireless
stations, so light that they can be car
red by men, have also been devised by
German inventors.
A recent French invention which
utilities electroplating for the deposit
OF extremely thin coatings of precious
metals is said to make possible the
gold plating of lace, without stiffening
the fabric. Silver is used in the same
way
A machine has been invented for
manufacturing cotton automobile tires.
he tires are woven something like
lampwicks, only they are heavier and
o; coarser texture. They are said to
resist pressure of 5000 pounds to the
