FORTUNES IN THESE IDEAS.
Simple Little Things That Haven
Been Invented

Been Invented
There are lots of chances for Inventors
still. 1t is an old saying that the sim
plest devices are the ones which prove
the most profitable to their originators.
The field il OF yet exhausted.
For instance, it is asserted that the
genius who conceives process for load
log coal on ocean going steamships
which will effect saving OF y q cent
ton over the present methods employed
can get check for s1,OOO,OOO for his
idea the minute be is ready to demon
strate the practicabillty of his plan.
But, valuable as would be such an
idea. it is question whether it would
bring larger price than method of
treating straw hats to prevent them
from changing color with the weather.
There is also demand 10 the Ameri.
can household as we'll as in large can
uing establishment for an effective and
rapidly working device for sealing cans.
Fully fifty patents have been granted
for contrivance aimed to meet this want
but the idea has not yet been reached.
A typewriter that will do its work
without the present nerve racking
clicking and clacking would bring a
good return to the inventor and would
be as great boom to humanity as a
speechlsss barber.
In the airship field there is ample
opportunity for fortune making, and
the submarine boat can still be improv-
ed upon profitably. A flying machine
that will go up and come down and
a submarine that will 60 down and
come up at the pleasure of the operator
are nightly to be desired and would be
of vast financial value.
The genius who contrives motor
actuated solely by the rays OF the sun
or the waves of the sea, and Of practi-
cal use, is assured OF fortune aud a
niche in the hall of fame.
Shoe manufactures have long sought
a neat aud durable substitution for
leather, and are willing to pay hand
somely tho man who solves this riddle
for them.
Millions Of dollars await the man who
invents II substitute for coal. One of
the biggest bills of the world Of civil

A device that will entirely obliterate
the grating mechanical sounds Of the
taking machine will find dozen bidd-
ers with certified checks to purchase it.
The man who devises method of
cleaning ships bottom without dock
ing it will never have to work another
day in his life and can take trip
abroad IN his own private yacht IL he
desires to do 50.
1t is estimated that millions OF dollars
ara locked up in waste Of various kinds
from factories. Any scheme thai will
efiectually utilize this waste and save
the millions will fill the Golfers of the
inventor with coin.
Probably 500 patents have been Sc
cured on nou-reusable boxes and five
times as many on non-refillable bottles,
but no one of these mcetu all tho re-
quirmenls. The inyentor OF these class.
es will live on the fat Of tho lacd for the
rest OF his days.
Automatic chicken pickers AMI oyst-
ers shuckers are in demand,
