About the neatest invention that we
have seen lately is the fire pot which
was shown to US this morning by
Aurthur Graham. 1t is joint of COM
mon stove pipe converted into what
looks like it would be very fine heater.
Its convenience and cheapness are
strong points in its favor and then be-
sides it is success as heater. About
twenty of them can be packed in the
space of an ordinary joint of stove pipe
making it most convenient. The con-
trivance is also success as a camp
stove and will hold frying pan or
coffee pot very nicely. Mr.. Graham
does not care to profit by his invention
and therefore publishes the following:
Experiment has demonstrated that a
joint of common stove pipe containing
therein a supported bottom or (grate)
may be converted into a practical
heater or stove. Deeming this of great
Importance to fruit growers and not
wishing to have this article become
patented. hereby consign this Idea to
the general public for the public good.
Very respectfully,
ARTHUR GRAHAM.
